took my 2wd Ram out in the snow. Ha!

 

and you had to shovel to get it out of the driveway?!

 

Yes, after the front end started to slide downhill.

After that I got through 6" of snow with no problem.

 

Good job Stewie! Tell us you tossed some wood in the bed to give it some weight? About 200 lbs to start as it will help plant ya booty better in da white stuff.



So....I'm ever enthused about California's emissions standards. Seriously, I am!! But really, it's my fault as I must have dreamed up a CARB number for my M1 Intake Manifold. Plus, painting it red didn't help it be conspicuous. lol So, jokes on me as it failed smog testing. Today, swapped the keg back on. The M1 is clean. No carbon build up or anything. No baking of oil on the bottom plate side that sees the lifter valley.

So tomorrow....smog it (even though it did actually pass sniff test with the M1) and be done with it.

Jokes on me.

 

Replaced my serpentine belt because my old one had a 4" split for quite some time and just now developed a squeal. That ticking sound I kinda thought was an exhaust leak went away. How sweet it is.

 

The bed was loaded with wet snow, so no wood in the back.

So are passing smog test with the factory kegger then going back to the M1, or selling it?

 

Not really I wasn't planning on it but is their any advantage on timing?

 

Altering cam timing moves the power band around. Some cams are ground with advance/retard already included... so, watch what ya get for a cam, and use the manufacturers recommendations on timing.

 

Hit a telephone pole with it. Damn black ice. Pics after work

 

Drove mine up another snow covered hill, no problems!
