We have all been there. Brain farts are a real thing.

Brain farts…l wasn’t going to confess to this but what the heck.

When I had finished with the recent AC delete work and found the fuse issue and got the fan working, I went to cycle between Economy, Bi-Level and Defrost to check that all worked.

Nothing worked.

I started thinking about where I would have a vacuum leak or disconnected line and realized I didn’t have a vacuum leak. I had no vacuum. Because the engine wasn’t running.

Started the engine and all was well.

I have no idea. This is the first time it has done this. Its a Generac. It has 3 bolts behind the pump. Are those the bleed off you are speaking of?
Couldn't tell without seeing it. I doubt it though. A prime plug would be on the top. Could also be a leak on the intake. (sucking air)

Nature discovered where my LR tire leak was, due to all the heavy fog and drizzle this morning.

I have no idea why it looked like a foamy film like substance though.

Nope. The tires were mounted and balanced years ago by National Tire & Wheel. The valve stems they installed leaked almost right away, so I broke them down and replaced them. Nobody else has ever touched them.

Maybe I used dish soap or something when I re-seated them. I don't remember.

Sitting here bored at work when I should be being productive and was searching some crap. Has anyone seen the factory emblems show in this link with the white Sierra Classic? Link

Maybe my emblems aren't so far from a factory emblem. Has anyone see one like the second pic in white?

Randomly been pulling a few bolts here, soaking a few in Blaster there after work each day before dark. Not much of note on the K20.

No excuse for not pulling the C10 apart yet, will work on that this weekend.

Can you do custom fender badges. One of my best friends has a 80 K10. His last name is Royer. He wants to incorporate his name into the Chevrolet. Chevroyer. Can you do something like that, and how much.

I can, all of the badges are drawn by me, the fender badge is larger than factory because I wanted to be able to see it better. Factory on top, center is the size of the badge shown above and the bottom was me playing around with color.

Reference my Suburban thread for how much I agree with this statement and how I dealt with all that "fun".

I've only ever seen them in red/orange and yellow on trucks. Maybe the white is faded yellow?
