I would love a window decal of Calvin and Hobbs stomping the crap out of Caillou and Daniel the Tiger. Maybe even have Peppa on there giving some side eye action.

It would help if the government recall site handled vehicles over 15yrs old. I know for a fact that there were still two open recalls on my Suburban and Silverado when I bought them because the original owner of my ‘86 Suburban left the notices for the Suburban in the glove box.

Thanks. I’ve got a two carbs on my spare parts shelf (I’m aspiring to be the square body GM truck version of David Tracy) that I could try that on. It’ll be a lot cheaper and better smelling than lacquer thinner.

Do you use lacquer thinner or a specific brand of carb cleaner?

The fault doesn’t lie with the school for failing to teach the other students to behave like human beings. It lies with the parents of those children. If you don’t learn how to act at home, how can you be expected to know how to act elsewhere?

Am I the only one who thought they were reading David Tracy’s latest misadventure? I think I only realized I wasn’t when it actually went right.

“How do you say ‘owned’ in Russian??? OWNT!!!”

Some people shit kittens when you do an engine swap from a different model of the same brand or a later generation engine. To each their own I say.

Rodney’d would have done a better job than this.

Not doubting you, but any references? Might help me in my search for certain obscure parts that not even LMC can source.

The pickups stopped being the same after ‘87, but you are correct about the Suburban. It’s insane that parts for my ‘86 fit both a ‘74 and a ‘91.

Ryan, if you’ve ever been to Radcliff you’d understand. You’ve got your choice between soldiers and the occasional Marine from Knox, drunk/meth’d out lunatics from south of E-town, and... You know what? It doesn’t matter how you slice it.

The really annoying part is that I was stone sober with my sons in the truck. We were on a boys weekend and were on our way home from camping.

Or to give everyone a dose of schadenfreude, cast Terrance Howard.

Bit of advice: Don’t ever park at a business that’s closed or where strange things are known to happen. Rest stop, truck stop, or a restaurant where you can order some food.

As someone who has lost friends to drunk driving, I think this is amazing. That cynical part of me thinks the only reason these folks are complaining is because they’re the type that thinks there’s no problem with having had “a beer or two” before getting behind the wheel and they don’t want to be confronted by their…

Might I suggest an old Chevy truck?

Ha. That was close to my night last night, but it started two weeks ago.

I just want to know what shop is going to do your rust work. I need one badly.

My ‘86 Suburban is lifted, so I can see if over the top of anything short of an F-350.
