All the car dealers want you to go by the percentage left on the vehicles info screen and not by miles. OK on a leased or company vehicle but not one that I purchase!

 

Looking forward to catching a few more Lemonfish when the weather get's better...Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo next week!

 

Here's a song for Arizona and the other states bordering Mexico!

 

a few minutes south of Sioux Falls in SD.....in T.....

 

Poor ol 5.0 She must be getting tired.. You need to trade that thing off before 100k Jim

 

Yup, When i get the oil changed i reset the oil life to 50 percent, then when the oil change message appears its usually right around 5 to 5400 miles everytime. Never went over 5500 miles yet.

 

Well, the skid plate is all better. Technically it's not really a skid plate I guess. It's a thick foam/plastic air dam thing with heat shields that runs underneath the transfer case and tranny (skid plates are usually metal, right?). It was held on with stupid plastic twist-on clips. I crawled under the truck and took all those off (the ones that were left) and replaced them with extruded U-nuts and locking flange bolts. That thing is definitely not coming off again, at least not by accident.

I guess that's one thing I'll miss about running a bolt store

 

Plastic under a vehicle is usually called "splash shield"

 

Usually between 5 and 6K miles is when I change my oil...good time to rotate tires too!

 

Wish I still had this Impala to take to a convention...I had this '62 when I was a senior in high school. I later had a '63 and a '70. The old Chevy's were nice rides back then..

 

I love old Chevy's ... Ger nice PawPaw. I'd love a late 60's c10

 

 

 

 

I worked for an oilfield supply company from 1969 to 1971. I had a 1970 C-30 Chevy Longhorn pickup with the close to 9 ft bed. It had a 307 cu inch with a 4 speed manual. That was my company truck for about a year. Looked like this one but dark green. Rare truck now!
