A mock corona virus "pandemic" convention hosted by Bill Gates 4 months before the corona virus pandemic hits? Give me a break. The guy stands to make billions when he releases his vaccine. Anyone know anyone that is deathly ill and in hospital on a ventilator? Personally, not a news clipping/photo, celebrity or hear-say? Your mom, brother, friend, otherwise healthy and now in intensive care? No test kits in my part of the world. Canadian media now claiming the confirmed Covid19 cases do not need to be retested after 14 day self-isolation and are effectively good to return to normal life... When have we shut the economy off for a virus? H1N1, Sars, Bird Flu, Ebola, Zika, West Nile? Remember last year when CNN told us they had video of airstrikes in Syria and it turned out to be military training exercises in mainland USA? There is a lot more than a virus going on here, in my opinion. I have been tirelessly looking into this, haven't been spending much time on the forum. Follow the money people. Call me a tin hatter all you want, it is our duty as a citizen to study situations like this and not just accept everything the media or officials say as blind truth. They have given us plenty of reasons not to trust them throughout history. One thing is certain after all this, higher taxes and less human rights. Godspeed everyone and stay safe.

Watch this video guys and gals. It may (should) make you ask yourself a few questions by the end of it.

Thanks for clarifying. Would you agree that the Alaskan edition would be the best suited if you are ordering a plow truck?

Does the Alaskan edition come with a Boss mount already installed? There was a TFL video on it the other day. Would probably be an easier route to take if you are ordering a truck.

Hi welcome to the forum. Unfortunately some people here have discouraged 1SLOW1500 from participating in the forums, so he is no longer here to help with turbo questions. You will have better luck on Performance Trucks .net or LS1tech getting the help you need with tuning.

Impressive. 50hp gain over stock with 91 unleaded. Wish they would sell E85 in Canada but we don't produce enough corn that we can turn it into fuel and also export for food. They tried it for a few years then cancelled the program. C16 race fuel or100LL Av Gas is all we have.

So key off, out of the ignition, door open and the fans will still run? Sounds like a BCM or ECM problem. Which ever one controls the cooling system, most likely the ECM. I don't think it is a repair you can do without their fancy computers.

Personally I position my rear-view mirror so that I can just see the top of the tailgate in bottom the mirror. If I see road or airspace, I know my gate is down. But this trick was learned after I have been there too as a contractor, leaving tools on my tailgate and taking off without doing a proper 360 circle check. Lost a set of impact sockets one time but luckily found the set on my customers mile long driveway. This is why unionized contractors in Canada place orange cones at the front and rear of the truck when parked so you always do a circle check to put your cones away.

Here's a solution

They had electric cars in late 1800's and early 1900's that would go 80-90miles on a single charge. Now, 110 years later we can only top out at 200 miles if all the stars and moon align to make the perfect conditions. Unpredictability is another factor, I know how far I can go on a tank of gas, if you run into colder temps, a snow covered road, a low tire, that will all lower your economy a bit, how much do things like that effect EV's? I just got back from a 750km (466mi) one-way trip to the Northern Reserves in Canada to drop off a trailer load some water treatment equipment, 5000#. That 750km may seem like a small distance, but it took 13 hours to travel loaded through the bush and swamps after 400km of good road, 10 hrs unloaded. 2.5 tanks of gas, 1.25 on the way back. How is an EV ever going to do something like that? Truck ran for 31 hours straight. Carried some extra cans with me. You're not carrying an extra DeWalt battery for your car.

In Canada so nothing, as we have to willingly allow the meth-heads to kill us here or we go to jail. Now they want to take away all our rifles now too because of "AR15's used in mass shootings in the USA". So any of you second amendment guys feel free to start dropping these psychopaths before they become an anti-gun media's wet dream. Don't ever let those rights go.

I have had 2 6L80e's and 1 8L90e. The 6 speed is the better trans. 8 speed is great when it works right but it seems like 1/5 trucks with the 8 speed actually work properly. Not worth the swap IMO, even if free. Never had an issue with the 6L, my 8L needed a new TC then eventually the whole trans was replaced. Shifts nice now, love the trans but the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Going back to 4L85e would be a better mod honestly, you could even put a transbrake in those old units.

I don't think GM uses primer anymore. As far as I can tell the paint is sprayed directly on the greenish grey zinc coated steel, or whatever the coating is. They just dip these tinfoil panels in a zinc bath to prevent rot and hit them with a 0.0001" coating of paint. There is nothing you can do, Ford and Dodge use the same paint methods and also have trouble. Only thing you can do is have the truck repainted properly, preferably with oil paint if you can still find it in the US. Water based is not great.

This is caused by a small rock or road debris hitting the paint. Not enough to chip it, but enough to make an impression or crack in the paint, after that happens its a matter of time before it lifts and peels. My 2010 did this and I had the whole box resprayed in 2014 under the (6 month expired) Symtech paint warranty. After that I saw the paint lifting above the windshield so I traded the truck in. My 2014 WT has peeled about 4" up from the wheel well, starts with a rock chip from the tires. You have to relentlessly touch up the paint on these trucks because it is so thin. That's why you wont see me rolling around with -44 offsets because I have been down this road and you shouldn't have to repaint a 5 year old truck. But its the name of the game now, build them cheaper and charge more. Let the owners put the elbow grease in and more profit to GM. The days of thick oil paint are dead.
