Spring Weather arrives


















just started working on Chipotle this week with the warm weather. When I pulled it out of storage last fall - it was running oddly and i was afraid it was overheating. So i had it towed to Syracuse. SO, this week, after a new thermostat, thermostat housing, fuel injection temp sensor and a gauge temp sensor, I still am not getting a reading on the dashboard. So i **think* I can rule out overheating. So i went ahead and swapped out the gauge cluster with another one that has a tachometer. That seems to be working fine now as well. So after a little more testing , it is on to the tune up and the mandatory fuel line changes. Also learned that if you soak your mechanics gloves in coolant, the leather dye transfers to your hands rather well.
