Thanks! Have a good one!

LOL !! I had a migraine for like 3 days / Since I get them anyway, usually I would say it wasnt the Lake , but I had some pretty rocking migraines after Magnet fishing there with 3M a couple times as well. Oh well I am still going back !!

Heck ya bro Likewise !! I am sure I will see u out there again soon !!

Thanks! Yeah I guess I am !! Finding Nickels is a good sign for me haha.

a Chicken Drop Medallion has to be added to your bucket list of finds now LOL or something like this www.amazon.com/Chicken-Second-Medals-Silver-Trophy/dp/B083M8QFBB

@@CapriceHunting That would be rad!!! :)

Shout out West Virginia! Shout out Elanie!

Thanks man! The 440 is awesome. I just got a xterra elite so I have been using that one a lot lately.

Thanks Norma!

me too ! LOL

right on Kevin same here Bro !

**SUMMARY**: To sum it all up: I had to add more aluminum to the heatsink of the ICM and mount that sucker to that black bracket that exists near the throttle which is somewhat under the homeplate and beside the wire harness; its the only place I could find without cutting the ICM plug and butt splicing on a new cable. I did not want to cut wire. The ICM was 140F to 160F sitting in the new spot. When the ICM was sitting on the heat block, I was getting 190F to 225F. That is a huge difference in chip temperatures. ----- I just got back -- I took a infrared video of the heat coming off that engine head where the bracket is located. It was getting temps from head of 190F-260F; I would get 190-220F on the engine head while the motor was running. I literally got 260F when the motor was off (probably because coolant wasn't circulating). That side exhaust manifold measured 523F-612F at the collar where the exhaust manifold heat shielding intersects with the pipe. My infrared didn't measure the heat coming off air, but I felt the hottest breeze of air coming off that manifold. It was the same type of heat you get when you open a oven door at 450F when you finish a "oven cleaning" cycle; really f'in hot. Its 101F in my area today. That heat soak breeze is most definitely kicking that ICM's butt when it sits right there on the head. I move that crap to the top. All that heat was killing my brand new GM ICM; I think I still need another one because it might be damaged. I put some 1/2inch space between the head the coil bracket. My coil only got 160F while on the bracket with the spacer; remember, I took the ICM off the Ignition Coil bracket. What the heck made the GM Engineers put that bracket right there on the hottest part of the engine. My engine's thermometer is 180F. I put the ICM on a the original aluminum heat sink and I added another layer of a computer CPU heatsink aluminum. I have some metal shears to take off the CPU radiator fins. I was left with a 1/4 thick of aluminum thats 4 inches by 4 inches. I used M4 CPU paste and the tube ran out. I then use Artic Silver 5. The CPU heatsink was hotter than the ICM aluminum heatsink. I made an aluminum bracket from a 1/8 thick aluminum sheet. You can bend aluminum with you man hands and gloves. I drilled a 1/4 hole. Your hole is probably a 1/4 hole too for the bracket (that black bracket on top that is sitting near the throttle). The original heatsink comes with m3.5 x 0.6 (pitch) screws that thread into the coil bracket. I went to Lowes and bought a 6-32 Tap and Drill set and made some holes so I can hold my frankenstein stack of aluminum together (because it will no longer sit on the coil bracket). I originally bought a 3.5 x 0.6 (pitch) tap and screw, but the seller sent the wrong one. Any the 6-32 screws were better because they are readily available at Lowes and HomeDepot. It took me about a day to think/design a new bracket+heatsink for the ICM. I suggest you add more aluminum to it. The new batch of ICMs are dying when they get 190F and over. They stutter for about 3 days of abuse, but by day 4, they just won't crank. I am now kind of assuming that even the GM parts are made in China. I also do computer repair and we see this type of heat failure with Chinesium in computer parts, when they use low melt solder. I repair alot of different embedded and device things. I am guessing they use a solder that is melting around 250F, which is just enough to make it flow over a exposure time of 3 days or so. Something is making even the Genuine GM parts fail when they get hot. The old 1990s ICMs could take the heat over a long exposure of ~40 years. I am so tempted to de-lid my original ICM and look at connections. But I need to study first. I am wondering if I can repair them. But I see a UV hole, that I usually see with EEPROMs for flipping the bits to zero: UV programming. I might have to do it in a dark room. -- These comments are here for posterity and made on 2024-July-14 at 3:40 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Definitely.

knowing the city of oakland it probably will be

that is light weight why i didnt move the cushion. I wasnt sure what was going to be behind it.

I was going to see if it was an SS but I forgot . I was going to investigate it more but was distracted by dead animal

LOL I heard something but didnt relisten til right now , I felt like they were loudly talking / yelling / arguing within the car and were just driving by ... but i dunno now lol but yeah i didnt hear them direct anything at me but if they did they didnt stop haha .... I didnt do any type of bad driving moves or anything to do with that car or have any interaction with them so I dunno but yeah thats oakland for you

Have you seen the Holey Goat? the 70 gto. it is on youtube.

Thanks!

I didnt need to wait for him to tell me to leave.

So does Malone ! LOL Yeah I think they do.

Shout out GK!!

Nice. Jeeps are cool. What kind do you have?

@@CapriceHunting jeep Gladiator... pickup.

Thanks! Yes you are right. No problem!

Thanks! "when I drop this solo sh*t its over wit / I bought Cages tape opened it and dubbed over it"

@CapriceHunting True Eminem fan right there!

LOL Thanks! I remembered / thought about it after I was done.

Nice, were you the metal detectorist I walked by on the way to the beach?

LOL

I used Xterra elite and vanquish 540

Thanks! I appreciate that!

If I ever go to Virginia I will let you know !

@@CapriceHuntingwe could make some great content! 🔥🌲🔥🌲

LOL . We are future SAT questions.

Nice, I like it a lot so far, but this field does have a ridiculous amount of quarters. I had many days with the vanquish picking up the same amount.

LOL. I have like 10 videos of me finding 8 dollars that I never uploaded.
