    The Duct Tape Camaro

    Breaking in the new motor. Clickable to view on Flickr. Proper motor needed a better cooling setup. Factory heavy duty radiator and a Taurus cooling fan. Lexan windows! Really leaning in to the Duct Tape Camaro moniker it got the year before. Duct Tape RS stripes, duct tape covered...

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    Misfiring bad. Pulled the plugs. This was the only damaged one. WTF? Pulled the valve cover. That's not supposed to look like that. Pulled the head when we got home. Whoops. We believe what happened is we lost the intake rocker on cylinder 1. With the intake being a dual plenum, the next...

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    Shifter mount made out of a trans crossmember we had lying around. Just enough gauges and switches. Fuel pump and pre-filter. Fuses, relays, and ignition. Finished engine bay. Rear firewall, sealed with special flame caulk. The cheapest nose I could find. Custom grille and headlights...

    Fixing bad links. I can only do 10 pics at a time, so more posts incoming.

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    Back in late 2009, I bought a 1978 Camaro for $600. It was just a roller. I was unaware that it had been wrecked in the front, and I was just a kid who wanted a fun project and got it on a whim. It was "retail therapy" as I had lost my best friend to suicide about 6 months prior. Stripped it the...

    Problem with steering wheel controls

    Sounds like a bad clock spring. Pretty common failure in high mileage cars of all kinds. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8874952&cc=1434093&pt=10480&jsn=1161 If you go pull one at a wrecking yard, be careful of the airbag.

    Bypassing SCV?

    Pin 16 should be a dark green with white stripe. That is your vehicle speed sense wire. You can try pulling that pin. I wouldn't ground it out, just tape it off. See if that helps.

    ABS and Brake Light During Rain

    If you can, use a scanner to watch the wheel speed values and drive through a puddle. That will narrow down your search I believe the ABS only uses the speedo for the rear and sensors for the front, though. Not a lot to check. Checking the wires and connectors from your front hubs would be prudent.

    2006 Chevy Z71...ECU

    You can do either. Reprogramming is easy enough. Even if you got one from a junkyard, you'd need the programmer to change the VIN. There are lots of factory tune files floating around the interwebs.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    Not without modification. And if I'm going through the trouble, I'll just use magnets.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    Original.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    Got a clip, instantly broke like the original. Looks like magnets may be my only option.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    I'm hitting a yard tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. LMC is no-go and everything I've seen on eBay is missing the clip.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    I contacted the manufacturer of the clip. Custom run. Have to order 1k to make a run. Not doing that. Now to figure something else out.

    Alternator rating

    This wasn't good for the old 10si and 12si alternators. Plain ol' bad for anything more modern. Generally, if the truck is telling you it's not charging, it is correct. Even mostly dead batteries will allow the alternator to work.

    Cig lighter and DLC off with key mod

    I tested my new 12v to USB power adapter. Draws 3.5 milliamps when not in use. No need to tie in the other outlets. My MagSafe charger and DLC are the only things I need to turn off with the key, so I’m set.

    Here’s the clip in question.

    Cig lighter and DLC off with key mod

    I may tap the other front socket into the same circuit as the cigarette lighter and leave the rear cargo one on its own circuit.

    Ash tray doesn't stay

    The ash tray in my '06 Tahoe doesn't stay all the way closed part of the clip that keeps it fully closed is broken. Does anyone know what clip that is? I'll probably have to pull the whole panel out to get the clip out...

    Cig lighter and DLC off with key mod

    This same mod could simply be placed in the aux power outlet fuse if you have no need to de-power your DLC and want to power down the other outlets.
