Not much, fired it up (it complained, a lot) drove it to the other side of the yard, parked it there. That thing is such a piece of junk, I just cannot explain why I like it so much, something about the way these engines clatter away contentedly, it’s a very soothing rattle. 😂😂

Seriously bro every man needs a bench vise, keep a look out for a good old one at garage sales or something, not sure I trust the newer ones as much. I’ve picked up several old 4” English-made Record vises for under $15 each, and I can get by with those but I’m still waiting for a 6” to show up...

I got a laugh for this but I’m serious, they made those, remember? 😂 I can’t see the vid so I’m just going off what I see in the pic, not sure that one is factory though? I mean obviously it would have to be modified to be used like that but that’s the generation when they made the (short...

Hmm... rear wheel steer Chevy?

Oh it is pretty common to swap in a pump from an 04-06 BEW TDI, I just haven’t found one yet at the pick-n-pulls I frequent, someone always gets them first 😠😂

Anything 04 and up does I believe, an 06 BRM does for sure.

Yes I like these cars a lot!

Not on the older ones nope, mine is an ‘03 with the ALH and the injection pump pulls from the tank. 😝 @dieselolds thank you very much!!

If you could find me some more info on where to get one of those I would be eternally grateful! I need something like that for my CAT filter on the Jetta, the old Napa filter head I have is kinda crappy and to have one with a primer would be VERY handy.

Now that is cool! Means you have to pull the case cover off though unless one has a sexy billet one like yours eh?

Beautiful! 🙂 Nice to hear an update. Curious, what’s the adjustable timing gear all about?

I was referring to the ones from Amazon you linked.

You’ll likely ignore this but, in my experience (and that of anyone else I've talked to) pretty much all aftermarket lights absolutely SUCK for output, since they’re designed to look “cool” and that’s about it. Have to go really high end to get anything that actually works for seeing at night...

Not sure about the Burban but 96 isn’t a great year for GM trucks, first year of the Vortec and the 6.5’s went electronic then too. Not sure which engines yours have...

If I ever get a custom stainless exhaust on anything, it’s going on in sections, with V-band flanges and clamps so it’s fully removable. Just something I saw a while back that I’ve been wanting to do.
