    I Spy A Cool GM Truck

    Nope, nothing in the box but the module and the conducting lube. And, I threw the invoice out already.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Since clearing my code 42, I have driven it twice with no check engine light, or issues however I am anticipating it again eventually. I finally got my ignition control module, which was a first impulse purchase after seeing code 42 and researching what is involved. I also got my MAP sensor...

    I Spy A Cool GM Truck

    Cool orange OBS. They had a play on hunting with the grill wrapped in camouflage. Or maybe someone makes grills with special color combos/camouflage. 2nd pick is terribly out of focus. I wanted to catch the camo but the Pic doesn't show it well. Looks like they just hit the big box store.

Every time I see a white square chevy C, K, or S even; I have instant recall to my past where I probably developed my obsession with GM trucks. Nice truck! You can't go wrong with whatever you decide...

    I would tell you not to drive too far without the keys in...but your truck is a 78. Different for late 80's models with electronics attached to all ignition and throttle body stuff.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Jumped ports A and B turned ignition on, just for fun, 3 code 12's and then code 42. Was hoping it would only give back code 12 miraculously. I then cleared code 42 via disconnecting the negative battery cable. Reconnected, jumped the ports, code 12 only, no codes. Took it for a quick run...

    So looking to grab a new ICM for under the distributor cap to begin fighting off code 42. Should I hold out and order AC Delco? Or Delphi? Or Accel? I think I want to go with AC Delco but was hoping one or two of use guys could tell me experience with Delphi, or Accel? Other brands you all have...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Anybody have an experienced suggestion on where to start? I would really like to dive in to a "closer to direct" area of the electronic spark system to save time. I would love to go through every procedure in the repair manual, but, if I could save several hours/days/weeks/months, that would...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Cranked it and let it warm up while I planned to dust the pollen off and move my wife's car. I dusted the truck and as soon as I got in my wife's car the thundering idle stopped suddenly like I turned the ignition off, but I didn't. I ran to the cab and the check engine light was on. Immediately...

    Gonna grab some 1/2 in. split loom on the way home from work tomorrow. I am thinking two or three, 6 in. sections would tidy those wires up for a better look. @CoggedBelt75 your engine bay is immaculate. I will try to get mine in better standings but, I'm not worthy! Lol!

    That's Bad Ass! I love In and Out Burger. My wife and I went for the first time on our "first chance to real honeymoon" in Cali. We found one leaving Sedona. I recently saw that they are moving operations to Tennessee because Cali is crapping the bed for businesses and many other things(I could...

    I Spy A Cool GM Truck

    Recently, I've seen plenty of cool ones. The coolest I happened to see when unable to snap pics. Here are a few in their natural habitats I managed to catch: These seem fairly tame compared to the ones that had me rubbernecking, but cool nonetheless.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yesterday I drove the truck to work. About a minute away from arrival, I wanted to crack the window for a second and no movement, but I could hear the motor moving. Today I popped off the door card and as expected the Schwarzenegger bracket had wiggled loose and the gear was not gripping. I...
