What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2021]

[81cutlass]

I guess it's called trim WORK not trim RELAXING.


Put the crown molding back up for the basement and cut the new baseboard to length and installed.

The crown molding was already done and we took it down to re-sheetrock the ceiling, and a lot of it had to be refit because it was moderately poorly done before, and it was done on top of heavily textured ceiling so when the texture went away it ended up as a new surface and it had to be re-mitered almost every corner. Plus the old stuff was gobbed together with silicone to fill the gaps.

And the baseboard trim was previously done before we re-remodeled the basement, but was the cheap vinyl wrapped balsa crown molding that looked out of place. Removed it all to paint the walls and didn't have the heart to put it back up. Whoever did it before bought 8ft pieces and for the areas that were slightly out of normal high traffic/sight they just tacked 3 or 4 leftover drop pieces together so nothing fit. The corners weren't mitered (just jammed next to each other).

So your insane attention to detail and perfection DOES extend outside of Oldsmobiles I see 😛

It would appear that way…
🤷‍♂️ Lol

Are you assuming I have standards? 😆

Everyone has some standards... unless you're willing to have a threesome with John Goodman and Mike Tyson, no lube. Then maybe you have none.

Everyone has their price. . .

Not me, not for that.

Some things can't be bought.

After 48 tours around the sun on this rock, I assume nothing from anyone anymore.

Well F me in the *ss running up a hill sideways. As I type this Is replicated the problem. What do we have here?

Appears to be an old beefed up 1500 with something on the order or 11,000# hitched up.

That's a fatty inside a 5500#ish empty trailer. Damned sure north of the ~6500# tow rating it came with. It performed better than I anticipated, no real white knuckle moments. Plenty of rear spring, it just bobbed the nose real good over the bigger bumps being such a light short truck. Here it is empty.

Not a huge difference. Blue Balls doesn't take any shjt. The Envoy threw a P1682 which means I need to snag schematics tomorrow. It died in the driveway while I was rocking the AC full send watching YouTube videos on the problem. I feel confident that, if I can recreate the issue tomorrow with the schematics, that I can at least half-*ss a fix until next week since I'm racing again this weekend. Worst case the wiff has to endure the near 400hp/500tq this beast makes at sea level with the wee-est of ones as I'll have the 2 older shjthe@ds with the dog at the track.

Thank Christ for car dudes on YouTube! Based on my symptomology, I went right for the fuse box. Sure enough, this dingus was broken where they all break. Seems to be a V8ism from my limited research, so motorheadmike and 81cutlass take heed if your junk dies, cranks, but won't restart until it cools and throws a P1682 with, in my case, a P060D. Basically, the ECM sees a discrepancy in input voltage between 2 of its power sources and it loses its mind.

This is a common place to crack apparently. I could see the crack before I started pulling on it. Off to Lowes tomorrow, one dude found 20ga solid conductor there. If not I'll probably do something dirty and not post about it. . . nahh that's a lie. I have no shame.

Phone/data cable is solid 20-24 gauge. What module is that?

Good find, btw

In the TBSS world there was a long run on these for a few years. People were buying spares just in case. I figure I am due any day now... I did consider this as a possible source of my no-start condition for my 20 hour starter replacement.
