Stealth Grey sounds nice. I've never experienced the air conditioned seats. It makes me think of George in the episode of Sienfald were he said "It is shrinkage !!!"

Welcome to Truck Forums.
While your in the Small Country, grab me some of the cash too LOL

Default What I did with my truck today,,,,,

I just brought it home. 85 gmc half ton. It's a Georgia truck with no rot and great miles. Needless to say I feel like a kid with a new toy.

Try running the sea foam through the vacuum on the brake booster too with the engine running. When it starts to load up, shut her off for about 15 minutes then fire it back up. It will smoke like hell for a few but totally clean the intake.

@cubpak. I'm glad to hear it helped in finding the exhaust leak but it sounds like she's being a bit finicky with your idle/injector issue. Those can be a pita sometimes.

Default got something done that needed done

i greased up my front end with some lithum based chasis lube the pink kind
while doing that i found out it hasnt been done for a longtime also found out that all my front end buschings need replaced
also took a look and found my o2 sensor it wasnt where it was sposed to be it was put in the worng spot by the person who did the true dual swap on it
so i will be getting a new one next friday along with bushings
i also found out my rear drum brakes are out of adjustment and that the adjusters are shot to crap
also i found that my brake master cylinder some how is getting air in it
i had a buddy push my brake pedal with the truck off and i stood next to it and listend it makes a horrible swishing sound inside of it
im thinking my cap rubber gaskt is bad
