Since WOT is fine, IDK why you're bitching.

^THIS^

IDK might have to do with the 1500 mile round trip....

Change the trans filter last night and put fresh oil. Seems to be a lot better now but I can still feel it. Trans temps seem to be a bit higher then they should be. Then this morning the alt desisted to die on the way to work.

This is why I do not like buying Chevy, ford, or dodge; they always have stupid shit like this failing. 

An Alt, starter, fuel pump, and other common parts should not fail every 100k or so, ever!!!! 

/rant

Has around 180k, this will be the 3rd alt. No starters have been changed. Other wise its been a solid truck that I tow with a hand full of times per year.

BTW if you have not replaced the fuel filter in the last 15k and pump in the last 50k, get ready to. 

Exactly why I have not owned a Domestic for a long time (not including my free '82 GT 'Stang). 

Dammit Russ if I ever meet you in person im going to soccer kick you in the balls! Then maybe buy you a beer.

Fuel pump died yesterday at 4am just having past the pentagon, was on i389 making a hard banking left turn at 75mpg when I saw the biggest pothole (more like crater), with no time to aviod it i hit the damn thing.

Almos instantly lost power, to make the situation worse there was no shoulder. I costed as far as I could and came upon exit 3/4 and was able to park. Went over every fuse, connector, then realized I couldnt hear the fuel pump. Banging onthe gastank with a big wooden bat cause it to turn over for a sec.

Dc cops where cool and help me get the yukon off the road, and drive crx off the highway (more like a ripper!). Between the tow, the fuel pump, and the shop it was almost $800...

Regardless I had a great time, clutch called it quits and wouldn't hold shit for power at 30psi.

I have some pic's and vids to upload except them over the next few days.

Thanks a bunch to everyone that help! Foowee, JD, Joe, you guys rock!

So this "BEAST" cost meet had 3x as many people and half as many cars as the nw. Sounds like a great turnout...lol   east<west

Better luck next year boys.....lol

I showed up to pound ribs and shoot the shit. That in itself makes this meet better than any in comparison.

The first year we had a bunch of local people show up and get on the dyno.  It sucked.  Dyno days mean I run around and work and it sucks.  The whole idea of this year was to relax and eat food and chill.

I vote next year that RHMT membership required for loitering at the shop, so you can work less and fk off more. Twas sad seeing you have to scurry about instead of eat, drink and relax.

95% Sure that's just how he is. He'd be scurrying doing something if it wasn't loading shit up on the dyno.

Yeah it's no secret he's a perpetual busy body, but even the Grand Wizard of the Interwebs needs a day off occasionally... He can show up and insult me if he disagrees and the subsequently go fist himself.

[ironcrx]

No to Vegas 

Late June would be pretty sweet.  Assuming I make it.  Haven't been in a while

Just remembered: If I come this year will we snatch up another road sign?
