  • So during the transmission swap of the Volvo I broke just about as much as I inteded to fix. Dang it.

    Anyway, since the exhaust is already off the engine, airbox will not fit the car anymore and everything is already unplugged, I decided that the engine swap will also happen at the same time.

    So much for swapping parts one by one to make sure everything can get tested

    • Havent worked since last Thursday, my next scheduled day is this Friday, no work scheduled after next Monday. I need a different job. This registry physical therapy job is bullshit now, and I'm burnt out on healthcare in general.

      Also I replaced the MAF in the e46 and it's still showing a check engine light and running like dogshit, so I'm assuming there's a vacuum leak somewhere. Fuck my life.

        Check the hoses that go behind the head for the air pump? Mine were all dry rotten and shit, threw a stupid "LEAN" code. Replaced the hoses, life was good.

          • Nothing thread update worthy (yet) but I pulled the engine from the donor brick yesterday.
            Time for new seals, gaskets, timing belt, waterpump etc.

            I may even decide to paint the engine. Still a bit of doubt on that part..

            • Celebrated turning 37 this weekend by taking my Ducati to Willow Springs. First time I’ve ever been on a track. God that was fun.


              Got a phone interview today for a potential new job. Fingers crossed.

                  • Thanks Chris.

                    Going back to one of the interview spots tomorrow. The general manager seemed to like me, so he wants me to meet with some of the other employees.

                    Spent my morning filing for unemployment. In the last 2 weeks I’ve worked a total of 4 days. Lol. Fuck my life.

                    • Met with the assistant manager at that potential job and she had concerns about my lack of experience. Tried to sell myself the best that I could and the general manager still seemed pretty stoked on me, so we’ll see. Trying to not get my hopes up.

                      • Drove the Suburban to work today. Everything's working well, after 2 weeks of testing it's time to hook up the trailer.

                          • Thanks man, LS swap was the best decision for this thing. Plus the Terminator X ECU was simple as hell.

                              • One place said they'd let me know today. The assistant manager seemed concerned about my lack of prior experience even though the general manager seemed stoked on me during the first interview. Tried my best to sell myself as being adaptable to any new situation and capable of handling whatever shit they throw at me. The other place hadn't got back to me, so I reached out to their HR person and he said they'd let me know today as well. So now I wait, stressed out as fuck. Gonna keep looking for jobs in my own field today as well, even though the 10+ places I've applied to over the past week haven't gotten me a single call back. Shits rough.
