Yeah your trans temps were at the design temp, it’s what every person that didn’t do a pill flip drives around with all day everyday. I actually bought my truck with a faulty thermostat and it was blocked for 20k miles and it got up to 210-220 on a regular basis. It was never a problem.

So when you boil a pot of water on the stove, it’s 212 degrees. The water cannot possibly exceed that temp. The act of boiling actually cools it down. The more heat you throw at it, it just boils faster, but it does not increase temp. it is possible to increase the boiling temperature by pressurizing the liquid, but it is not possible to exceed it. (Hence why if you heat up a closed container of liquid and it can’t escape. Instead of boiling, the pressure will just keep increasing and raising the boiling point, until it explodes) i don’t think it’s actually possible for the coolant temp to reach 300. With say a 15psi cap, and coolant, both of which raise the boiling point, I still don’t think it’s close to 300. Maybe 250-275. Sounds more like the sensor value maxes at 300 and that’s what they are telling you. Not sure where the sensor for that is though. I suppose the block could hit 300+ and heat up the sensor without any fluid.

Anytime I hear about someone having a large list of seemingly unrelated electrical problems, it’s usually a bad ground somewhere. This probably isn’t very helpful advice, but it gives you somewhere to start. In our 2014-2019 trucks there was one ground screw in which some trucks had a piece of plastic dash accidentally tightened under the screw during manufacturing. A few people had stability control issues and even a jerking steering wheel.

Cold case is a great radiator. Just make sure you don’t hard mount it to the truck. Use a bushing of some sort so there is a little give for chassis flex, this is usually what cracks welds.

The l86 is part number for part number identical to the lt1 in the camaro and corvette. I’d be looking for a vette/camaro shop. The l83 is very similar. One of the most well known corvette performance shops on the east coast is located in NJ https://ecsgarage.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqEMWBXEfbnYEll_kSVrUjNRYrAQSlRZVl0Smkl1khNV523OdVe It will not be cheap unless you DIY. It’s a lot of hours to change a cam. If your only option is paying a shop, I would suggest leaving it alone and replacing the motor if it fails.

New one is pretty fun too. Just test drove a new 911 gts with a 7speed manual. I hated the manual and I’m a die hard manual guy. I think I’ve realized I only want a manual in a car that’s slow enough to rev out and shift a few times. If it’s too fast, give me an auto/dct. Also need super short gearing in the manual so you need to shift 4 times to get up to highway speeds. Believe it or not, another super fun car to whip around is the model 3 performance. I know you won’t believe me until you try it. I think it’s more fun than an ITR on public roads (i had an ITR in the mid 2000’s)

Imagine your engine spinning your trans, and then the trans spinning the rear driveshaft. when you select awd, it essentially engages a clutch between the front and rear driveshaft. 50% power sent to the front is the same as the two driveshafts being locked together in rotation. The range is 5-50% power sent to the front when awd is activated. It will send power to the front based 3 things. -Throttle input, WOT launch = 50% power to front. (This is why there is no detectable delay in traction, because it is throttle activated) -loss of traction at the rear tires -your speed(over a certain mph, it likely won’t send power to the front based on throttle) There is almost no reason to use 4wd hi in these trucks…..unless, you are driving in an area where the awd clutches will activate so often that it could overheat them, such as a snow covered road or off roading. Nowhere on the forums has anyone tested this data, but I do now own a new jeep and it had pretty much the exact same transfer case and someone hooked up a scan tool and provided all the parameters in which activate it. It all made sense how it worked. One surprising thing is that in the jeep, above 25mph, it sends significantly less power to the front axle even in 4wd HI! I really assumed the transfer case would be locked in 4hi, but it’s not. Obviously to protect the drivetrain if you accidentally leave it in 4hi.

I have to clear this up. Trump did say to peacefully protest, but he said it in the beginning of the speech. He then went on for over an hour about how the election was stolen giving specific details that were very believable. His closing words were to fight like hell and to march over to the capitol. Nobody influenced me to think like this. In fact I was mostly a trump supporter until I did my own due diligence on j6. I thought it was all make believe until I decided to imagine myself being there listening to that speech. I honestly might have stormed the capital too. He’s such a piece of ****** for that speech.

I went from my sierra to a jeep rubicon. Both have 4auto. While I was on jeep forums, someone posted up scan data of the transfer case in action while in the different modes. I learned that the transfer case isn’t actually locked in 4hi. In 4hi the jeep applies 100% clutch pressure (effectively locked) but then it starts to reduce the clutch pressure as speeds increase. It is actually only locked until about 25mph. At highway speeds it is pretty much back to 2wd (yes this is in 4hi setting not 4auto) I was very surprised. 4lo it was locked all the time. I don’t know the GM transfer case operates in a similar manner but I wouldn’t be surprised. Also interesting, in 4auto in the jeep, it doesn’t just adjust the clutch pressure based on wheel slip, it also does it according to throttle position. Full throttle is 100% lock, 50% throttle was like 60% clutch pressure if I recall. Which explains why 4auto seems to react telepathically in both vehicles when you give it the business.

I have to point out, that the speaker did not say $50m was spent on condoms. They said it was going to be spent. Probably still not true though.

It should have never made it to civil court. The people are not equipped to make that decision and that is why the SEC exists. The SEC would have never gone after him.

It’s not even about those minor details. I put the blame on trump almost entirely because of his speech. I read the entire speech multiple times and listened to lengthy phone call recordings The president of the united states gave an hour long speech with definitive details about how each state created fraudulent votes. I do not blame his supporters for storming the capital after that speech. Our commander and chief told them all that the fundamental backbone of democracy was violated in the worst way. I don’t blame them for believing his words. If you believe his words, and the election was really fraudulent, then I don’t blame you for being an upstanding citizen and trying to stop the final stage of the next president being illegally put into office (with the exception of those that hurt people) Unfortunately it was all proven to be lies. Trump was told it was BS. He completely lied to people. It is literally shocking when you dive into the details and compare it to what he said in that speech. Speech analysis from professionals indicates that he really believed there was fraud, even though his inner circle told him there wasn’t. The only thing that makes sense in the end, is that trump actually convinced himself that the fraud was real, and he is batshit crazy.

I only know the inner workers and in depth details of two cases to the point I could likely write an essay on each one and get all parties to agree, j6 and the ny fraud trial. I say this with zero bias. -NY fraud trial was democrats unjustly hunting him -J6 was almost entirely trumps fault, to the point that I completely agree with the non-violent j6 pardons because I put all the blame on trump. My point is that the NY fraud trial was definitive proof to me that democrats really are hunting him and trying to bring him down any way possible to the point where the people involved should be removed from their position. (Despite the fact that I think what trump did on J6 is unforgivable) Everybody that abused their power to bring trump down needs to go (again, I only know for sure in regards to the NY fraud case) Trump is guilty of the exact same thing, but trump is an elected official, meaning removing him from office is merely removing the choice from the people.

Yes but there is millions of pieces of data to support the fact that we evolved over billions of years from single celled organisms. Random mutations affects survival. Are we 100% sure of exactly how it happened at every step, no….but the evidence overwhelming supports evolution is responsible for it all. We can watch evolution happen quickly with living things that reproduce rapidly, an example would be bacteria that evolves a resistance to medicine. I just don’t see how one could default to intelligent design for what we don’t fully understand yet. Data stored on a hard drive does not have mass either. I can write a word with my finger in the sand, and data would be created without a change in mass. The human brain is essentially the most complex thing in the universe that we know of. Much like why the god of thunder was envisioned, just because we don’t fully understand it, does not create a statistical probability that it was designed by a higher power. I mean anything is possible. It could be possible aliens visited here a million years ago and genetically modified an animal so that it would evolve into an advanced species. Statistical odds on that are quite low. Which sort of goes back to the point that a belief in science is a belief in statistical probability, not absolutes. So in order to “believe” that a higher power is the most probable explanation, one would have to dismiss scientific reasoning. It is actually possible that a quantum hotdog will spontaneously appear in your hands tomorrow at 5:03pm, the odds are maybe 1:10^150,000,000 that will happen, so I don’t “believe” that will happen. The odds of you being an million year old AI robot posting on this forum through a worm whole from another universe is far greater than the odds of that quantum hotdog appearing in your hands tomorrow. I personally think it’s ok to believe in a higher power for the sake of emotions. I tried it once when I thought something bad was going to happen, and it definitely helped me. I wouldn’t dare think less of someone if they did, but….I do think it’s a dismissal of science and math to do so.

I don’t understand how you can believe in god, science, and math. God is a belief in magic, science is the refusal of magic and seeking the truth. Having faith is the inverse of science. In science there are only answers with statistical probability. You cannot believe in god and science at the same time because there is no data to support the existence or god.
