Am finishing up replacing the bed end cap and fender wells. Caulked all seams today and painted with POR-15. Waiting for second coat to dry enough to spray them with primer.

I pulled the E3 ECU this week. It's going back to Ride Tech for the latest version of software. Hopefully when it comes back I can get the final stage of the install completed.

Finally got my truck back running in the mud changed it over to a 205 due to the adapter plate braking. Only to cause a Carb problem swapped it from a Holley to a edelbrock now is tuning

Also shotgun season opened up Saturday haven't been out but have a nice size doe hanging in the shed due to my 94. On my way home from work this morning about 830 I found her laying in the middle of the road not busted up still fresh her ankles down were shattered. Now we got deer and I didn't have to sit in a stand to do it beats tracking one for sure lol. Thank God for trucks

I sold my 74 to my brother on Saturday and then flipped my Yukon Sunday morning. Luckily I had my seatbelt on, I spent the day at the hospital and have been hurting all day today.

Hey Slammed, I think you slammed that one pretty good. The object of driving is to keep all wheels on the ground--just a piece of free advice for ya.

glad you're ok.  Soreness will subside in a few days.

My nephew had to slam on brakes the other day to avoid hitting the car in front of him...no problem, successful.  then, WHAM!!  He got hit from behind, by someone who didn't even put their brakes on, doing 55 mph, according to the person behind that person.

It slammed my nephews chevy truck so hard, the back of his head hit  back cab window and shattered it.  Had a concussion.  It rammed his truck off the road and into a tree, totalled.

Oh, who ran into him?   A county Deputy Sheriff driving his county Explorer.  I think he was texting...no brake lights or skid marks...nothing.  The next morning, I contacted a very popular attorney around  here who knows me well from my job.  He took up the job in a heartbeat.  Waitin for pics to be emailed to me.

Yesterday I hauled 1.6 ton of #304 gravel in it but I think that's going the other way with it?

You mean what did you do to improve your truck?  Well, I put a stereo in it last night that I got for free out of a car I scraped.

Went to turn the heater down and snapped the fan control lever off. 30 year old plastic and 5 degrees outside don't get along very well.

slammed- hope you're feeling better

Thanks guys, my left shoulder is still hurting when I move it more than a lil bit but its getting slowly better. I was dog tired and heading home from my girlfriends place at about 3:30, I must of fell asleep at the wheel because I don't remember a thing except waking up on a stretcher in an ambulance.

I sold the 74 to my brother cause he needed some wheels and I needed some cash, I haven't really been driving it anyway because my left knee is jacked up and the clutch wears me out in traffic, I'm going in for surgery in Jan. The funny thing is the 74 got better mileage than the Yukon.
