Fathers Day & J-Boyz…

It’s been so long since I’ve gone to a theater to watch a movie I can’t remember the one I was in. Today my sons took me to the one located at downtown that has been converted to large reclining seats and spacious area. What a difference in comfort and ambience watching the movie. It has me thinking of watching other flicks at the movie theaters as long as it has the latest comfort standards.

Wheels & Exhaust…

Took the Elco over to NorCal mufflers to get the driver side mounting bracket redone. It was dangling by the header bolts. Also, got new front tires installed at a local shop. I need to figure out how to remove the wheel balance weights residue that was left on from the previous installation.

This  was the first time I had the Elco on a lift so I was able to look at the underside and see the setup. It has True Duals going straight into Flowmasters series exhaust.  After the mufflers turned downs are used right below the cabin, no wonder it’s so freakin’ loud!

A couple of functional mods that make a huge difference are the front and rear slotted rotor, caliper disc braking system and the UMI Stage 4 kit suspension with Viking coil overs. This upgrade is combined hovers around the $5000 range. 

 

 

Dually 2000 – Cargo & Brake Light…

Last week I went and checked the bulbs for the cargo and 3rd brake light. When I pulled out the stock lens there was no bulb base retainer in place.  Luckily the wiring was still intact. 

I ordered a LED replacement kit and it arrived today. This kit will serve as a cargo light as well as the 3rd brake light when brakes are applied. Everthing worked out as planned, the cargo light activates when either the interior light switch is set on or the driver door is in the open position.


1998 GMC K1500 Sierra…

For a while now Beaters inside door handle hasn’t been operational. You had to open the door from the outside. This was not such an issue since it’s not the drivers door. Since I learned how to replace the internal door handle on my Dually it was a breeze changing out Beaters internal handle.
