It was a big one for these parts (150-170lbs) and I was already figurin' freezer space, when it stopped its thrashin', got its feet under it, and ran off. Still no deer blood in the Chevy bed. The young gal was pretty shaken, even though she did everything right, so I checked hood latch(OK) and coolant (no leaks), gave my name as witness for her insurance & followed her about 10 miles to make sure she got back OK.

Ryan- thanks for posting that link. sorta overides the preceeding (and outdated links). glad to see someone is on top of things in here.
hey guys give me suggesions on some songs to download. Im at like 75 and i cant think of any more
I'm sure you read/heard about the plane crash the other day, I had a buddy who's a volunteer firefighter helping with the recovery and loading the body bags, he said it was horrible. He said he saw what was left to a new Silverado in the area that took a hit. And now they think part of the cause was from "jetwash" caused by the 747 that had taken off 2 minutes before hand ! I don't fly often but this sure makes ya wonder if driving might be the better way. I am going down to World Trade Center "ground zero" on Saturday to survey area since I finally got clearence to do so, had some aqaintances that lost their lives there.

Resolved, see above.
Thanks for the link. I changed 2000 to 2001 and it shows the 2001 information. I'm wondering though, just because there is a bulletin it is possible some updates were completed before the truck was delivered to a dealer. I'll check the site if I notice anything strange.
Dano
Adding that to my collection asap.
Bought some Zano, hopefully the next week or so I'll get a chance to put it on, but the holidays are coming up and Thanksgiving is at my house this year. Got a turkey fryer for Christmas last year, going to give it a try.
Mike
You'll need about 5 gallons of cooking oil for that turkey fryer but what a difference between oven cooking !

Wanna fly to indiana to hook up a sound system in my truck for me? haha
I have like 10 PF-59's left in my garage cabinet
The Dell is being built according to their order status page. The ship date shows the 4th of December but I doubt it will take that long. It will be nice to have something faster than my 200MMX Micron. This was top of the line 3 years ago.
Glad to know trucks don't depreciate that fast!!
Dano
You will love it trust me. My new one is amazing.
Did you order the zip drive?
I kinda wish i had now i am looking for an external one (might be better then i can use it on my other computer also since i drag that one back and forth to school now)
Ryan
Upholstered front buckets....dealer sent them out to get reupholstered for third time saying that this was the best solution other than ordering new seat. Seat came back and installed into truck. Took a look at it and had to laugh. Doesn't look anywhere near what it used to look like NOR what it is supposed to look like. Being that they had three times to fix this deformed seat....I wonder if they'll give in order a new one?
Peter
I want to tell ya'll Mike keeps his equipment in absolutely beautiful condition. His wife's 'rado looks like it just came off the showroom...(not off the back lot...the SHOWROOM!
They are both neat people and we have the good fortune of having seelig among us...
As time goes on I'm sure that some of our paths will cross and that makes life neat!!
Mike, cutting board is now wrapped with a bow, wife's birthday is 12-15...thanks again guy!
Got 4 hours sleep last night, Courtyard-SFO was $165/night, and flight was good. BTW guys NO MORE friendly skies! Guardsmen with assault rifes at security entries...plan 2 hours before flight time to get your stuff done!

Oby, That is why I will not buy a computer myself. I have always had one supplied by the company and until last year when we were bought it was always current.
Ryan, does you school not have USB capable machines? Zip is OK if that is your only option. I'll check my old stocks and see if I have anything to use.
Well the computers in the lab you cant hook anything up. Many computers already have zip drives installed. A few of my engineering labs have old and i mean old and slow computers. Many of the newer labs have 1.8GHZ dells which are wonderful
Also truck related: Jumped on the amber DRL bandwagon. I am replacing mine tomorrow to the amber bulbs. I guess i am in modification withdrawl. Gotta do something. Oh and also lube the chassis im due for that
Ryan
Just went outside with the wife and she started the new truck and poof, large plum of light blue smoke from the exhaust. Should I be concerned or just watch it and hope it doesn't mean anything bad? I haven't even made it to a 1000 miles yet.
DRL's, how do you get to them to change the bulbs?
Dano
Take out the headlights to get to the bulbs its easy only &*#^&&^# problem is i cant pull out the headlights all the way because of my grill guard. I need those torx screwdriver bits to remove the light guards. Dont have the correct size so i gotta wait till tomorrow.
I did lube the chassis however
Oh yea i am also getting a better digital camera for xmas so the pics after then wont suck as much
took a nap back there today
You mean there is more than one owner with a pvc problem? Doh!! Should we use some pvc glue?
I am guessing that it may have been a one time occurance... The valve seals in the new engines (5.3 et all) are vastly improved over the old small block (5.0/5.7)engine, but it is new and it may need some time to seat everything together.
My ElCamino starts up and looks like a Mercury outboard at first, but only goes through 1/2 qt of oil between changes... When I was building racing engines, we really never worried about that stuff, because we figured the upper valvetrain was getting lubricated at least. Samee thing with the puff we would ocasionally see out the exhaust at around 9000 RPM.
Watch it, if it should continue or get worse, have it checked.
matthew
Also, anybody know what's with this PCV valve business? This only seems to be a recent issue. Did GM maybe just get a bad lot of valves that have only affected some 2001s or what? Anyway, easy to check/fix since it's a 2 buck part aftermarket; at least I assume it still is.
