It only has 122K miles on the V6 Vortec even though it is a 2000. I have taken great care of it and only drove it about 5K a year. It started to rattle and run rough. I let off and smoothed out. I picked up the throttle again and it started rattling again and then started to lose power. It died and I limped off onto the shoulder. I lost all accessory power too and it was hard to turn and I had to stomp the brake to stop her. Lot of smoke and steam. It smelled like a tire fire. I actually called the FD but by the time they arrived there was no more smoke/steam. She is still a beauty and I will fix her up even if it means a new engine.

Went out and tinkered with the Impala some. Changed six of the plugs, my friend will have to get the other two. Set the idle mixture screws at one and three quarter. I'll adjust the floats tomorrow.

Afternoon, Woods. Several honey-do items complete in addition to pool system repair. I am so proud of me.

I'll bet he's on an incommunicado 1st Annual BroDad Pilgrimage to the PNW. Chanting as he walks along.
