Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22804 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	Good morning CG's! How is everyone's day so far? I'm back to the daily grind, so I just got home from work a few minutes ago. Been back for two days, so I'm still adjusting a little. It's hard after being off for so long! Weatherman predicts rain for tonight....funny, it was raining on my way home. I guess tonight and this morning are synonyms in the weather world. Other than that, no news on my front. What's everyone else got planned for today? Matthew

My mother-in-law was one of 15 children, and they're not even Catholic - LOL! She's the last one left of her siblings, but there are hundreds of descendants.

Good thing it didn't happen, or at least didn't pop on my jaunt through the canyons yesterday... So now I'm back on the nerd bike for now.

He said they would try to ship the headers today, but the Cats and extension pipes would need to be built, and that could take a couple weeks. I also ordered gears for the dif, and other stuff to finish the installation of the engine accessories. Looks like I'm gonna be wrenching again soon.!!

All 3 guys were trying to figure out where their wife stored their juevos so many years ago when they started pandering to her needs instead of their own.

I own a 69 Chevy pickup, 85 Corvette, 98 Honda VTR1000, and make payments on nothing except the mortgage. For work I'm a professional engineer. All I can say there is stay in school, and major in something that pays well, not teaching, or history, or mathematics, etc.

It's real hard to outsource that, and there's an endless supply of customers.

All I can say there is stay in school, and major in something that pays well, not teaching, or history, or mathematics, etc. 69 pickup is kinda old....I suppose everything is controlled by a serpentine belt and no electronics? If so, then I assume its reliable because if the belt goes, everything does. No ECMs, electroncis or stuff.

Senior Guru San Diego, CA 9454 Posts Member since: 2007/10/28 0:00	There are seperate V-belts. One drives the water pump and fan (critical), another drives the alternator (semi-critical) the other drives the power steering (not critical). But often on V-belts one can fail and take out other belts with it. It's reliable simply because there's very few things that can fail, or leave you stranded. The only electricals that can let you down would be the HEI distributor which is extremely reliable, or the starter or alternator.

When I was younger I couldn't afford a whole lot of "toys" - but when you get a little older, and you are careful with your spending habits, you can afford some things. When you get a better paying job it makes a big difference. Matthew

Hell you could hardly pick up a new 35 in for that much.
