    That thought has crossed my mind a few times. For the one on the other side, I was thinking of chucking some ice cubes full of grass killer in her yard. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Haha....true. The one's dog bit me in the arm while I was trimming the bushes one time. Neighbor lady watched the whole damn thing and said nothing. Then she came over to my house the next day (while I was at work) and told my wife "if your husband tells you that my dog bit him, it's not true"...

    If had more land, I'd probably have all kinds of shit like that. Or if I didn't have pissed off old ladies living on both sides of me. :D Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    And wouldn't you know, the back-up jb weld I keep in the top drawer of my dresser is MIA. Lol... Hell yeah, man. Any idea what a long bed weighs? 400lbs?

    I bet they're mostly similar. I noticed there's even universal 3 port ones that supposedly work on a bunch of makes and models. Hopefully someone here has done it and can say "just get the chevy one with the harnesses, but only hook up the yellow wire " (or something like that) Sent from my...

    Is it different from 82 to 87? I thought when I looked it up they were pretty easy to get. Like $50 for a delco. Or do you mean finding it on the truck? I think it's above the passenger frame rail? At least I think it is. There's a spot there with a cover over it. I'm assuming it's the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Very nice, man! Looking good! And I accidentally bumped my fuel selector switch a couple weeks ago and the truck wouldn't start. I did the same thing. Luckily it didn't take too long to figure it out. Ha.

    Ha. So not all bad that year, right. :D I'm 7yrs ahead of ya. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Yeah, it's a really common problem apparently. I'd really like to get it sorted out and working correctly! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    It's an 87. Good year. Stock markets crashed and George Michael released "Faith". Lol... Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Green Dex G05 or one size fits all

    And yeah, deathcool. I remember having that in a 96 S10. I've seen some rusty/ugly coolant, but that shit got to looking so bad. And I drove it for work. Had to keep some with me because it was hard to find at a lot of gas stations. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I just put a radiator in my truck like a month ago and couldn't find the green peak. Maybe I just got unlucky at the two places I looked. That's entirely possible. I haven't had much luck lately. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    This tank that's leaking from the bottom is the 'good' one. Hell, it only looks maybe 10yrs old? Very light surface rust, and not even rusty where the hole is. Makes me wonder what the inside looks like, though. :eek: Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Good stuff. And yeah, I'm definitely planning on replacing the whole tank. I've seen them for like $70. And yes, the sender. My fuel gauge doesn't work anyway. Heh. What's funny is the other tank is totally rusted through so I planned on putting a new one over there, too, with a new switch...

    Yeah, parking brake should light it up. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Brake light faintly illuminated

    fuck me. I'm about to take this truck out back and shoot it. So I'm pissing around, shine a flashlight on the wheel cylinders, and sure enough, the left rear is leaking. No big deal (even though that's the stuck wheel I was pounding on the other day). Still, whatever just a wheel cylinder. So...

    Ok, so there should only be 2 switches. One on the e brake, and one in the proportioning valve that indicates loss of pressure at the valve on one side or the other. I'm pretty damn sure that's what mine is. Fluid, like I said, was almost dry in the front tank. I've since filled it up, but I'm...

    I mean, my brakes were shit and mine was losing fluid from the front reservoir. Almost empty and no light. Filed it up, now I have shitty brakes AND a brake light. Haha.... I might go down and investigate after dinner. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    I didn't think they did, either. Gotta be a fucky sensor somewhere, though. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Haha.... Well what could possibly be going wrong? Brake fluid sensor going bad? Ebrake switch on its way out? I can't imagine there's much to these, so its either one if those or a wiring issue, I'd think. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    10-4. I was just making fun of your wimpy half-lit light. Mine is definitely warning me about my imminent death. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    My brake light is more hardcore than that. Mine's super bright. Lol... Seriously, though, mine just came on this weekend during a test drive and I'm not sure wtf is causing it, either. So I'll be tuned in to this thread.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No, I'm not pitching them. I thought they may be the problem, but they weren't. So I cleaned them up a bit and put them on my garage shelf for backups. Or I may reinstall them. I prefer autos over manuals (when they work) Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    Green Dex G05 or one size fits all

    I just couldn't find green. All I found was the stuff that's supposed to be universal for all makes, models, and antifreeze colors. It may be just fine, but I bought green peak before because it always seemed like good stuff and it was cheaper. Now it's this yellow stuff and it's more...
