BB 2019 last minute thrash

[r3dd0g]

The O2 sensor can compensate for that little pressure drop. The regulator seems to be working fine, drops to 35ish at idle/high vacuum then jumps up to 42 at WOT. After this weekend I'll figure out another way to test the pressure, if it's still low then I'll look at getting a new regulator.

One item had been nagging at me. Noticed a u-joint cap walking out of the yoke on the right front a while ago. Considering my track record popping them in the past I figured I'd pull it apart and make sure its right.

Here it is. It was stuck out enough it would not pull through the knuckle. Had to pound it in some just to get the shaft out.

Once I got it in enough I yanked the shaft out to finish it up.

I thought the clip was missing but you can see it's not in the right groove.

Oops there it is

Got the clip put back in the right groove and slammed it all back together. Good to go.

Good catch!

The test run went well! I've got a pretty short list to finish up on the S-10 before September. I'll probably replace the fuel pressure regulator next week. It ran fine, but it does seem a bit hard to start.

 

[Bent77]

Yup

Finally growing up and linking it?

Blazer Bash is just a few weeks away.

 

[r3dd0g]

Maybe he's putting something in that needs more lugnuts?

Did you send ORD your credit card numbers??

Hurry it’s apart

Nah, Wade only has 6 a corner too

 

[ktmoutfront]

If I had 8 per corner, I might not drive off road so much.

Glad you can count but I’m sure it won’t help....

 

[Babaganoosh]

I think ORD keeps them on file?

 

[fastazz81]

I have 8 on mine and laid it over , maybe it was too much weight from the extra lug nuts.

I haven't ever bought anything from them. My truck was done before I heard of them.
