Welp, got the R/T out of storage Sunday.

Started right up, no oil slick on the garage floor, NO MICE EVIDENCE [yay!]. But , truck still running shi##y, just like when I put it away last year. No magical cure in a nice rest. The only creatures that seemed to like my truck were the ladybugs. I mean there were clumps of em huddled under the hood, in the door jambs, didn't get down to look underneath.

Well, time for a good cleaning, and then dive back in under hood, cash in hand.

They are old, before I did the KB blower, [the reason my truck is running so shi##y].
But here's a few...

Yup, 1gen Camaro. But we don't like to let people out side the circle of R/T know we'd go into enemy camps to pilfer thier spoilers. There are at least 4 of us sporting that look, now. The best thing about it is you can pick one up for under $50 bux. Being lowered, I keep a spare on hand, I'm on my 2nd one, now.

I am jealous! I probably won't see my trucks for another month. We still have snow on the ground here.

good luck figuring out what's wrong with it. hopefully it's something simple!

btw, i absolutely LOVE the way your truck looks. :hail:

Snow ? Thank God we're done with that for the season. Supposed to climb to 60's today. I never really thought about how much further north you are up there, that it can still be that much colder than what we have.

All we can say is better days are coming!

Thank god better days are coming. We are finally going to climb over the 60 degree mark today. I am hoping that it will melt the rest of the snow quickly so I can get the trucks out. Beleive it or not, I am quite a bit further north than you are. It sucks but I can at least look forward to the day I can get to my trucks!

It is the decal [by duner]. Over the years its gotten a pretty good shine due to lotsa layers of wax/polish.
