  1. Man so sorry to see this. I met Mark through our love for these cars. We bought parts from one another...hung out from time to time...I even helped him with some plumbing at his house one day. He was a great guy, sharp businessman, was fun to be around and def did put in the work to make the community a great place. I hope he remembered me as fondly as I do him. Weird how we haven't talked in probably 10 years since I moved from MD to OH but he is still clearly in my thoughts in a very positive way. Rest in peace friend.
  2. Happy Birthday guys! I miss hanging out with Charlie now that I'm a few states away!
  3. Yes, prime the pump. Pull the small allen plug above the pump on the block, take a small hose with funnel and fill it until it will take no more. I've had to do this many times to get the oil pressure to build up after pulling an engine apart.
  4. Hard call IMO. I guess if it was mint then that might be a fair deal. I would think you get could it cheaper if you haggled a bit. I look at it this way - It's out of warranty & close to 100K miles. I'm sure you be putting a little into it soon just in maintenance. Color, any other details?
  5. I'll always remember reading through and learning from many of his posts back in the day. Sorry to hear this. Rest In Peace PQ.
  6. I used to dive. Got certified just like you guys. The quarry checkout dive sucked as it was Feb in PA, freezing cold, very little visibility... Cozumel has absolutely been the best place I've dove! Deep dives, shallow drift diving, a night dive, they were all fantastic! Not sure if I'll ever dive again though. Definitely a commitment if you wanna be safe. You'll know if you're in it for the long haul or not. I wasn't.
  7. Can you take a pic of where you put the sender? You may not have it in a place that is pressurized.
  8. Is this because the dealer has to pay a cut to the financier/bank? Otherwise 15K cash or 15K on paper is the same I would think.
  9. Make sure you air it out really well! Any fumes would be bad. I shipped one once via big box with no issues but I let it sit w/o the filler neck on for weeks.
  10. I bought a new '00 3/4 ton, one step above the w/t. The good - plenty of power out of the 350, nice ride, towed 6000#'s without effort. The bad - rear axle seals wore out covering the rear brake shoes with oil and that would screw with the abs badly, the ignition key stopped going in the accs position (to just listen to the radio when parked) and the driver's seat belt stopped retracting. These weren't major issues but nothing I expected before 60K miles. Also my friend had an '01 3/4 ton Suburban and we were pulling a trailer of quads to go camping in PA. The rear of the truck started smoking badly and we limped it to a Chevy dealer and dropped it off. Luckily we had another vehicle following us so we were able to continue on our way. Days later we drove to the dealership and they had the rear all apart. The axles were standing up and I noticed one was bowed. I pointed that out and sure enough the tech said wow, yes that does not look right. It was probably bad from the factory and they replaced it with a new one.
  11. Bill, very sorry to hear about your wife's passing. My condolences.
