Is Racing on 93 "Safe"? Not really.

[Mean Cat]

Mine looked fine. Both the originals that got changed on recall and the replacement ones looked fine when they did the engine change last summer.

That sounds good, I hope the same.

 

[Mean Cat]

Then when I can, I'll check the plugs.

 

[moparjim]

Those looked good on mine also.

2 nite we are having a treat with our oct tane. We are having our tomato basil soup, but with a side of frozen drink of strawberry and Prom granite and 110 proof Sugarland's Best from Gatlinburg, Tenn. Apple Pie is the fruit of the night. Know the place very well. Went there with my grand parents sking at the age of 6. Not much there at the prime age of, too late or early, Bob, 57 minus 6 will be when I was there 1st. Nothing there. A saloon grandad like to visit ottah than the Ghost Town. My 1st date with my ex wife was to there. We rode from Chattanooga to Gatlinburg of Friday and back on Sunday. Gives me a head ache now to think about both. It rained we took a piece of plastic and draped it over a pic dick table and slept under it on the concrete. Wonder why I have back problems now. Years later took fiancée #2 to a friends resort, he owned 4, there and had a different story. He owned a huge log house, 5 horses, 12 cars and just a lovely place. 3 years later he went to state prison for embezzlement. More than likely still there. We went to Little Pigeon Forge River to go rafting. Had this dyke bitch, hand in hand, as a guide. We drank beers after beers after you know what. Right under the sign tha daid no Con stipa tion od alcohol,, or sumtin like that. We stopped in this quant place called Cosby, Tenn. 4 way stop, i brick building with bars on the winders, moe shine, the 4 trailers were fer working gals. 3 guys and 1 gal in our party. Place was crowded with pool tables and dart board goings on. Took 4 minutes before the 1st knife was pulled on me, since I was the biggest. Back then a weight lifter personnel trainer sporting 16 inch guns, 6 foot 4, before knee replacements. My gal 5 foot 1 95 lbs. Oh boy. My friends not much bigger. All fro Clearwater with me speaking a slow bit of Tennessean. One buddy kicked every ones ass in pool the other kicked ass in darts and the princess just charmed the bar with her daisy dukes40 year old body going on 19. The bar had 1 drink and don't matter what youz order, you are getting coke and shine. Jeralyn ordered a mahi ti, rum and coke, close, and a MoeHe toe. All shine and coke. Kept gettin better every drink. Flirting got worse, pushing and shuving got worse. Next morn at the egg white house gals informed us we we were defiantly in the wrong plaque. 1 gals 3 sisters killed there, one had 2 killed, brothers, brothers in laws shot. Over and over again. Before I left vette took out my finger and had to have stitches whitch the bitch didn't likoppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp fell asleep 2 30 am. Bitch didn't tell me the river was a waste water dump site and any open wounds could kill ha. Well hell, oh my. would vote on that one. I wouldn't go back too crowded. Good shine thou . F-All and all good trip. 4 out of 5 fiancée's wood approve. Want stop in Cosby again. One of the Moonshing Group calls that place their home. Oh their was a place we stopped at. A restaurant where it was built on a creek to where the fish lived and you caught your own rainbow trout with a Cain poll. and cooked it your self. Kinda cool. Paid by the poundage like the girls in the trailers. Ribs feeling better after this Apple Pie Shine. Night night Kitty Cat. Get my car today and the cardiologist.

 

[Hickster]

You get all that or do I have to re Pete it?? About drunk on this shine. WoW.

 

[Hickster]

I woodn't listen to a word that guy says for ths past 2 hours. Tenner a say would.nt know how to smell that word.

Results of Boostane on O2's & Cats after over 4 years & 8k miles of use.
Come to your own conclusion on how they look but to me they don't look bad & the orange color came off the O2 easy with just scrapping it with my fingernail.

Can you scrap the build up off the sensors inside the O2 sensors? The outside doesn’t mean much except to say the inside is the same or worse being their heated sensors.
You have a good bore scope to take a peak at the valves?
To each his own on this topic, it’s not for me anymore, don’t know what I’d do if E85 where not available in my area. O2 sensors and spark plugs are easy to change, exhaust valves and seats aren’t, they where the game changer for me.

I understand your point.

 

[Mean Cat]

I do feel good about having the recall done, free new parts is a good thing, I waited for it to be done for about 3 hours & picked up some PUP for next months oil change.
They didn't touch the pcm for the reflash but I did put painters tape & tie wraps around the OBD2 port to make sure & it was still there when they brought it out of shop.

 

[Speedy!]

I had mine done last year for the same reason. It may or may not have gotten a replacement factory PCM that got flashed, then the "performance pcm" reinstalled. That's what my paperwork says anyway

 

[Mean Cat]

Not on mine, I told them that I had a tune & a different pcm in it not the factory pcm & DO NOT TOUCH IT, LOL.

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

They wouldn’t swap me parts unless they flashed the PCM so I took the stock PCM with me and the tech actually changed it, flashed it, and put my tuned one back in while I swapped out from the trunk my old cats removed just a few weeks prior for new cats and old O2 sensors for a new kit with 4 of them in it plus manifold studs. I brought the cats thst where on the car with brand new ones I snagged for $200 last year. it was a pleasurable visit for once I stayed with the car the whole time was nice, even the service manager came out to talk to me and look at the car, she was a woman, she said she had to flash it, I said not a problem with the stock PCM. The new cats are in the attic sealed in the box with four oxygen sensors and new studs for the manifolds that are still in a sealed box yet. I just put 4 new oxygen sensors in with my rebuild so I took them and gave the tech the four originals I took out and they were fine with that. Didn’t touch my car except for changing the PCM, didn’t even get lifted up. I gave them a five star review afterwards.

Good move, that makes it nice for everyone.

I saw that they put new studs in the flange also.

 

[Mean Cat]

I did ask the service guy if I could bring my stock pcm in by itself, if they could flash it out of the car but no it has to be in the car so that's a good idea Mike, to swap it right there, if it's worth it at some point to do.

It was the only way that they would do it and if I ever put the car back to stock the stock PCM is ready to go with the latest flash.

 

[vortecd]

They told me the had to do the flash but did ask if I had a tune in it. New studs were part of it and I watched and gave tips to the tech how to take it off. (he was going to pull the whole exhaust off) Would have worked so much easier if they would have just gave my the parts and there tech could have got paid the time for doing nothing.

I was shocked they cut the cats off the pipes and crushed them in a vise

 

[BULL]

Wow, that's really unhealthy.

20 years from now you'll see commercials on TV for ambulance chasers asking if you were one of the people that did this and do you have cancer.

I noticed that they didn't take my whole exhaust out which I know saved some time.
They also gave me all my O2's, so I have some backups just in case.
I couldn't really complain about the time I waited for it to be done, I kept a close eye on her & had free coffee & water & never got my hands dirty. LOL.

I should have asked for the 02's. I thought they were shipping the cats back and then they started doing that. No idea what they did with the 02's, trash I would guess
