On a serious note, rebuilding carburetors. I hate rebuilding carbs. I hope to one day be able to vow to never have to rebuild a carb ever again.

My wife wanted a ecosport because they are cheap and she thought they were cute. We sat in one and I told her if we ever got in a wreck they wouldn’t need the jaws of life to get me out, I would just go hulk hogan on it and rip that cardboard thing off like a t-shirt.
That's sexy...

Taxes here in Illinois are stupid expensive. We pay close to 10k a year.

Looking at property in Northern Michigan and taxes. Wife found a place she loves on 20 acres with a beautiful log cabin... 2k sq ft. with a couple out buildings and the taxes are about a third of what we pay here in Kendall County Illinois for a lot in the middle of farm country.

Id much rather spend an hour rebuilding a carb then spend countless hours with a volt meter and scanner trying to figure out why my fuel injectors are injecting to much fuel.

Chasing electrical issues. Thankfully, I don’t have to do it often.

I’d rather not chance releasing the blue smoke.

But fried wireing smells so good.

the grey-t escape
I hate projects that snowball into more time & money, case in point- last year I put on new steering linkage, front rotors, wheel bearings and brake pads, calipers were working fine, drove it over a year, no problems. A week ago I did the “washer lift mod” and as part of it , I removed the calipers from the knuckles so the axle could drop farther and I would be able to add washers between the I-beam . Well the washer mod went well, but now the truck pulls hard to the right, you could almost go around a corner by stepping on the brakes alone. Took a drive yesterday and when I got home checked temperatures at each wheel, left front wasn’t nearly as warm as the right one. And I know the flex lines are original so in addition to new calipers (yep, may as well do both), new flex lines, I will most likely end up making new hard lines for the whole front end , from master cyl to the flex lines. So I’ll need more line nuts too, I think I have enough hard line, but I’ll need to unroll it and be sure. All this cause I wanted to try to lift the front end a little. And Im still considering 2” lift coils, that 3/4” washer stack helped, but it could use some more help.

Chasing electrical issues is pretty much the main thing I do at work. The nice part is that we have 10 or way more of each truck. Once I find an issue on 1 truck, I call each of its sisters in one at a time and check them all out. I usually find that 75% of them are already starting to fail the same way... (usually a chaffed wire that started turning green from the salt... damn plow trucks.)

I smoke wires on purpose. When there’s a green wire (see above for explanation) and you don’t feel like cutting the whole harness open to find it... disconnect both ends, ground one end, send power to the other. It burns the bad connection out then you trace the harness with the power probe short finder. Quickest way to find the problem.
