1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

It looks like a puck, talks like a puck, might be a puck. And anyone dumb enough to use a name so similar ... would be acting like a puck. Either way, I don't give a puck. I love it when people PM me with death threats. Edge me, baby.

Probably still acts like 12 though.

Nah. Based on what I was reading online, the true RMS versions were labeled "Fluke 27/FM" on the front, mine doesn't appear to be. I haven't played with it much though, spent about 15 mins getting it working again and that's it.

I want to wire my reverse camera this weekend, so probably won't tinker with it much.

If you can, LMK! Your tag light bypass has the trigger lead added and that would work, but I may end up capping it to save popping wires out of the loom. I'll pre-wire it all either way.

Part # if it helps....90980–11909

Reckon we'll never know....duck18 gone poof !

 

Any chance you have a photo? I know, right, loooong ago. I don't remember seeing a clean connector for this one. I did T off the OEM terminals for lock and unlock on the passenger side (but I've since disconnected my pop-n-lock for the tailgate since I like to load without the key and it had all sorts of trouble doing it's job in the first place, poor design)

 

This guy keeps showing up at my house like I'm running a charity garage.



First thing we replaced this morning is this broken valve that's part of the power steering pump. Someone had broken the old one and plugged the rubber hose with a bolt.

 

Ah yes, that one is spendy as shit for OEM too. Power steering air control valve.

 

Yup, that's the male side. Would love to find the female.

 

Was that a slide in / slide out pallet?

 

Actually that’s the female side and can get male when back home if that’s what your needing. Thought you needed what
assassin10000 was showing which is the female end.
Or perhaps at my age I need female/male anatomy re-training

Female and/or Male pins if you need them.

Male:

I can buy the 100 pack unless someone can find singles. I wouldn’t mind the male and female pairs.

 

I'm a few pages behind, but isn't this always the precursor to bent metal & deer meat on the road?

 

kindred spirits - you & the mangler designer who created that mess.

 

I think I changed that for him also in the parking lot of his apartments, or maybe it was his pcv valve. I'm pretty sure it was that though

 

Nope, I was talking about when hybrids creep in hybrid mode. You nailed it.

 

Looks exhausting!

 

Nah, must have been PCV. This valve he's had since 2021 but never installed. We all looked at it when you were here but didn't mess with it. His power steering was making as hissing sound when he turned. This new part solved that.

 

Ha! It would have been but he realized he's missing some bolts he needs before we cut off the exhaust.

His truck didn't come with fog looks lights so we installed those today along with new headlights. He just has to wire them.

Corner lights are begging to be replaced too.

 

how good are your winch bolts? Eesh.

I'm jelly of his fenders, I'd love to have those then pop the chrome off. Wish they came on DCs on this side of the country.

 

Got a couple trailers of some nice firewood for free this morning. Dump trailer for the win

 

Awesome score. Bring me a load of the dirt from the cinders for my driveway.

On another note, truck looks like it has skateboard wheels compared to the 20's i've looking at all week.

 

Was that shade sail a kit?

 

No, its also not waterproof, or in the right spot.

 

The one I have above my pond works perfectly to catch and direct the water right into the pond from rain

 

Nice. Yea, i wish the contractors had communicated better with me, but its my fault for not doing it myself. Live & learn.

I know it had been shown before but I though I would show the tension bearing install.
I got the wrong bearing it fits and will run but it is not as thick as the original. So I went and got the replacement. First bearing cost 9 dollars. Second bearing cost 82 dollars. Stupid easy to change but not cheap.

 

I was taught the female has hole, slides over the male. Male has protuberance, slides into the female. But these may be oddballs where the male slides over the female and the pins inside make it male, where as the female has a protuberance that slides into the male, but holes on the protuberance the male slides into. How fitting for the world today, we'd need to argue over whether it's M or F.

 

Got some of those they/them connectors?

 

Assuming we are talking automotive wiring connectors, male vs female is all about the terminals. Connector shape isn’t all that meaningful. For sealed connectors it’s most common to see males fit inside females but for unsealed you typically see females inside males. So easiest to just look at the terminal.

 

I had to read back on what shifty was talking about because at first glance I would have said he failed 6th grade sex ed.
