Hey guys, I picked up a k5 blazer and after I repair some rust spots in the floor I was thinking of putting one of them molded rubber deals instead of carpet, has anyone used one? What's your thoughts on them? Did/are they lasting? Thanks

Yeah, I know. Okay, I picked up an 89 k5 with the 5.7 tbi the other day for really cheap. It has a miss that I can't seem to figure out. Truck runs roughly, almost like the plug wires are wrong. It throws a service engine soon and I pulled the code, which was 32. That says egr valve, I...

It's actually called trigger thumb when it's your thumb but somehow it happened to me and it's pretty painful. Basically if I bend my thumb it hurts then gets stuck in the bent position. I have to grab it with my other hand and physically straighten it out which again hurts like a sob. Best I...

Wife went to the grocery store the other day, I showered that evening and needed a bar of soap... wtf, it's like half sized bars now. 1.69 for a 16oz coke, not even a 20oz. Fast food burgers have shrunk also, got a filet o fish the other day and I swear it was a mini, box looked the same size...

Back a while son and I were ripping a make shift spoiler off my car the previous owner thought was a good idea...what a nasty surprise we found..Guess they are/were termites eating the cardboard he used to form the spoiler. I really have no clue.

Found this while looking on craigslist, I like to just browse sometimes when a lot is on my mind...seems to help me, anyways, figured I would post this in case anyone is interested. Looks decent in pictures but pictures also lie. Not sure if its still available but the post is still active so...
