A Horse With No Name

OBD II is kind of scary when you think about CPU's going bad over time....

I just hope it works out for you. I'm probably going to be keeping the Miata for a rather long period of time....and watching other people keep older vehicles on the road is encouraging.

That's a nice looking truck!

I think the Italians have a grip on things....finally.... I remember how much I liked my Concorde, which was a 1994. I feel like Chryco has a lost decade. robin williams made a movie called Awakenings, IIRC. To me what's going on at Chryco is kind of the same thing.

Duntov...not so sure about that one. Personally, I'd give his name to a dog...oh wait... But seriously, yes. Glad we agree on Sagan. I also Admire Jacques Cousteau

Should be a neat truck when you get her sorted out. It was the last truck, the manual shot one, that had the weird rust problems around the tail gate, right?

Interesting list, I find Leonardo DaVinci very interesting, and love Charles M Schultz. Maybe hero is too strong of a word, people you really look up to then/admire.

For me: Richard Dawkins Carl Sagan Lance Armstrong Ellen Degeneres Jay Leno Mark Martin (esp. now that he is racing a Chevy!) Danica Patrick Paul McCartney Dwight Eisenhower George Patton Dan Barker Christopher Hitchens Barrack Obama James Taylor-Musician How about you all...who do you look up to?

I really like it!

1Lt is what I am thinking if we get a Cruze. Saw a car carrier going by with Cruze loaded on, and also one with the new Jettas. Can live with the exterior styling of either.... Chris

Replace them both, and then enjoy the Tahoe for the next ten years. $250 is half of what a new truck payment would be, and you don't have 28K hanging over your head in the form of a bank loan. Consider yourself lucky!

Two different sources of motivation would be perhaps a better way of putting it? Trying to think about how/what to say to clarify this.

-----Thread----- I think we just might have a winner, here. Way too cool.....

This would be correct.

Good luck, wish I was in Philly with the day off so I could help you, sir. Sounds like the problem is the $250 part. I'm impressed that its still available. In Commercial HVAC, solving air flow problems often takes care of issues. However, 95% of what I see in buildings is caused by an electrical malfunction, so...I think your on the right track...

wicked and wiled

You would be entirely correct, sir. Part of Japan's funk is that it has set itself up to be a long range supplier of high quality goods, while the rest of the world has kind of imploded and no longer needs them. Also, on a lot of things I buy that are not automotive related but high ticket items, Europe been eating japans butt in terms of the quality and creativity. Especially on things like tools, etc.

Cool! Tell us a little more when the time comes!

You might try a couple of things, Camino. First of all, you might use NO-Lox on the connection to the motor, after you clean the connection.. It will keep moisture and corrosion out of the connection, and ensure that it isn't corrupted in the future. IF one of the ducts isn't collapsed, I'd bet you are not getting enough RPM's out of the motor, or tht an old motor doesn't have enough torque to turn the blower wheel at the proper speed. Only three variables exist, or perhaps 3. 1. Electrical conditions at connections to motor. 2. Condition of motor and it's ability to do the job. 3. Lack of obstruction in the ductwork 4. Control of any subsequent adjustment devices (doors, louvers, etc.) At least this is the way I would see it.... If your serious about keeping the vehicle, would it not be easier to pull the dashboard itself to check the problem? I actually have had animals build nests in ductwork (including rattlesnakes!). I wonder if a couple of fornicating mice might have gotten a little too comfortable and trapped in there somewhere?

Odd...one would think the HVAC system would be simple enough to repair....sorry to hear that you are having problems.

I feel like Mr Rogers...now say it after me..."Decades." I no longer expect to see an economic turnaround in my life time. And we have been sinking since about 1980 or so....

For the money, it is a good deal. I am going to have to do something like this with the Miata soon!

China is a good market to be in, and I'm glad to see the Germans there ahead of the Chinese.

Thanks for posting this one up.
