A mechanic diagnoses the problem and fixes it . someone that plugs a computer into a vehicle and lets it tell them what's wrong with it is just a parts changer to me . I know that computerized Technology is a way of life now but I can't put them in same category 'True" mechanics are a dying breed . I don't have the experience that most of the guys on here have as I'm sure they have forgotten more than i know . but when I meet a "True" guru of the mechanical arts I try and learn everything I can so I don't have to bring it to shop and run the risk of "getting taken for a ride" so to the Legit mechanics on here and out in the world I thank you.
Spoken like someone who doesn't get their hands dirty! There are crooked mechanics, heck, there's crooks in all industries, but I wish you success in your truck repair. I comment as a technician with over 35 years experience and know that about 2/3 of guys in the industry can't properly diagnose much less fix a car! Good luck

My spare keys came in from Classic Industries- I spent a little extra as I could not tell if the LMC keys had the GM logo.

And, I thought maybe I would save on the UPS charges as I remember LMC being spendy.

Well.

Look closely- Kustom Kwality!
I will use them, though.

couldn't really find anyone local to cut these keys for me believe it or not. lowes, rural king, ace hardware all screwed me. how do you plan on getting them done?

Local locksmiths? Pop-a -lock? They should cut keys . unfortunately there will be a few unlike Lowes or Home depot but should be able to handle it .....i'm guessing

I am assuming Wally World or someone like that can do it.

Hell, maybe I can buy another set at Lowes and they will cut both.

Never thought about it, actually

Noticed a little drip after I ran it yesterday- popped the hood and discovered it was a weep from the upper radiator hose at the thermostat.

Tightened the tower clamp - I think I got it.

She does not like the cold, though- twice now I have gone to kick her off fast idle and the RPM'S have jumped up and held.

Another quick pedal pump and back to regular fast idle.

4 years of Southern weather and she has gone soft.:p

I don't blame her - I don't care for it, either.

We've gotten 8" so far so I went out and got the snow off of her and fired her up. It did take a few attempts to get her up the hill to the road though. Always wished I had 4 wd.
