Although these are my favorite ones my dads taken when hes gone up, I'm far from the best photographer hahaha

Cheers to a great 2025 fishing season!!!! Cant wait for opening day! In the mean time plannign to fish all I can down here where its nto frozen haha. There are generally 3 things that are foolproof for me to have agreat day- fishing, wheeling, gardening!

I usually use spinners in moving water, or the chartruse (whatever the green color is) PB for bait n wait, or mini tube jigs. Then theres my secret, which I will PM you about!

Opening season in the sierras is last Sat in April! Then it runs til November usually. More info in Pm

Was driving to the mall, and this squishy stuff randomly appeared under the tires. Thoughts?

All jokes aside I just thought this shot had good framing haha.

For the longest time I'd has a clunk when I went over bumps. Got a chnce to look at it today only to realize the seay bar endlink bushing and bolt were gone Free sway bar discos?

Curious new issue. When I shift into park sometimes, it randomly stalls. It starts right back up, but stalls. Its sort of a nonissue, since it doesnt bother me, just writing this down here so I dont forget when I first noticed it

New sway endlinks in.

Tcc solenoid or failing converter most likely cause

Check your fluids
Check your battery level
Check your warm idle rpm

Scanner live data monitor the tcc solenoid command
Ohm the tcc solenoid from outside the transmission bulkhead connector

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan ok. FLuids level warm idle are fine. It better not be a failing converter... I was hoping to run 400k on stock SOHC and trans

Whats odd is (knock on wood) no shift flares, no issues with TCC lockup when Im driving, its only when shifting from gear to park once in a while it dies.

Think I found the culprit. Every time this happens the switch I have to kill the PCM ends up being shut off. I dont touch it, just somehow it shuts off. Case closed! This high milrage sohc lives on!!!!

Hmmmmm kill switch fubar!
Can’t post that up hahahaha or she’ll get stolen

Yep, no one will know the location of it! Luckily its just that, no actual issue. SOHC lives on!!!!

I joke to my friends no one would want it because A. if you're in my neighborhood, everyone will be waving at you B. It's definitely a unique build! So itl be really easy to pick out on the road.

Note to anyone if they want to steal it: DONT!!!! It's super easy to spot on the road, and all my neighbors will try to say hi to you!

Can I guess, the power window switch On/Off switch for the passenger side? I thought of using that for mine sometime. I had a better idea though later, add a relay and trigger it by the seat lumbar air switch.

No sir, if were playing hot/cold, pretty cold.

New tstat housing in. Replaced with... another plastic one

 

[CDW6212R]

Yes Joe Dirt, oh ..., I mean Waterboy, "what an idiot!"

Were both of the metal ones good? I bought one but I don't know if I'll find it before I get to my SOHC timing stuff again.
