  1. It's a lot more than that. Most folks who buy them don't consider Denalis over priced either. When was the last time you read one of the vehicle brochures?
  2. Fuel Fill Pipe The fuel fill pipe has a built-in restrictor in order to prevent refueling with leaded fuel. When refueling dual tank applications, fuel is dispensed to both the front and rear fuel tanks at the same time. Once the fill vent is obstructed, fuel backs up the fill pipe and trips the dispensing nozzle. The front fuel tank vent runs into the rear tank to the top of the filler pipe assembly, which in turn vents to atmosphere. The fuel tank vent valves are connected and route to the canister to collect hydrocarbon emissions during operation of the vehicle. Rear Fuel Pump (Dual Tank Applications Only) On dual tank applications, the rear fuel pump is located in the rear fuel tank. The rear fuel pump is powered by a secondary fuel pump relay when the fuel level drops below a predetermined value. Fuel is transferred from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank in order to ensure all of the usable fuel volume is available to the front fuel pump. The secondary fuel pump relay supply voltage is received from the primary fuel pump relay when the front fuel pump is energized. This data comes from my 2009 GMT-900 Shop Manual, your 2500 will be very similar if not the same as this. If memory serves, they share the same part number for the rear fuel tank.
  3. Sorry fellas, I had signed off for a while, was busy with work. LY5 is not a FlexFuel motor. The L85 system is completely different and would probably not talk to your BCM or Cluster. Your LY5 does not have VVT, which was introduced on the 5.3s in 2010. You can pin and reflash your EC38 to use it, delete it, or get an EC38 that has VVT on it already. The first few years of the 6.0 L96 are FlexFuel motors and do not have AFM but do have VVT. The L9H is a 6.2 without AFM and has VVT. The LH8 was used in vans and some pickups, it has an aluminum block and did not have AFM or VVT, it was available in 2008 and 2009 only according to my research. It was a FlexFuel motor. Check out Summit Racing's library on LS engines. Well, that's not correct but I reckon you have it sorted out by now. Any update since?
  4. The GM shop manuals show as SOP a complete fluid exchange using the TransFlow machine. They also test the external transmission coolers for obstructions or reduced flow. Since yours has a thermostat and runs at 195+ all the time, the severe service schedule should be followed. I sent a sample of mine to Blackstone Labs for analysis and at 36K miles with about a week of towing on it, the fluid was said to have only about 10K miles of life left. Needless to say, my new service interval will be about 36K from now on.
  5. I know but maybe he gets email alerts, maybe not! LOL
  6. Have you looked up the OSHA regulations and seen how much a person's oxygen level is degraded after wearing one? The mask is about control and power. In just a few short months we have lost more liberty then in our lifetimes. I reject the doomsayers premises who say masks are effective and do no harm not just on a scientific level but political as well. The offended are not right, they are useful idiots for the left. We turned our lives upside down for this?: I have several relatives in these statistics. One, a nurse, was sent home to recover without treatment. She is fit and healthy and has recovered and gone back to work. Another, my father's friend, was in the hospital for 3 months and was only given anti-biotics. They did not properly treat him for Covid and now he has pneumonia and was sent home to recover. Had they both been given HCQ, Zinc and a Z-Pack ($20 worth of meds) they would have been symptom free in half a day and would not have had to suffer.
  7. I reject your premises. There have been no studies showing that the wearing of masks prevents the spread. Wearing a mask while walking or working reduces a person's oxygen levels to below OSHA standards. That's called virtue signalling. Your premise is false as well. You have no idea why someone is not wearing a mask. If you were to ask me, I'd tell you that it is suffocating; I have a hard enough time walking and breathing in a normal setting. Second, I don't have the virus. If I did, I'd probably be dead as I have several "co-morbidities" and my immune system is exceptionally weak; "immuno-compromised". (learned some new buzzwords in all this) People should not be forced to do something to appease the feelings of another. Regardless of all the dangers to my health from masks, I reject all forms of Statism, from group-think to virtue signalling and wokeness as history shows that they lead to tyranny and not liberty. If one is willing to give up some of their liberty for security then they do not deserve liberty.
  8. An effort to what, virtue signal and be woke? If one is not sick, there is no need to wear a mask. If one is sick, they ought to stay home. As of the 10th of July in the state of Florida, about 30,000 children and young adults from 0 to 20 have tested positive for Covid-19. You know how many died from it? 5, two eleven year old children, one sixteen, one seventeen and one 20. Healthy people don't die from this, those with health issues do, like those who are obese and or with diabetes, lupus, cancer, etc. Every death is tragic but to disrupt the nation over this now that we have this knowledge base is ridiculous now. Those teachers who are elderly and or infirm ought to not be around the kids until this thing blows over. Back to work America!
  9. Zip, I'm not being critical of you but of the Navy doctors in the context you described. HCQ is being used to also treat arthritis and lupus. My data comes from doctors who are using it to treat their patients and not afraid to talk about it. Doctor Vladimir Zelenko: and https://www.hoover.org/research/lancets-covid-fiasco Doctor Daniel J. Wallace: https://www.educationviews.org/expert-lupus-doctor-says-no-covid-19-in-his-patients/ and https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2020/04/07/dr-oz-asks-rheumatologist-dr-daniel-wallace-if-any-of-his-patients-with-lupus-have-contracted-covid-19/ and Doctor Brian C. Procter: https://www.bitchute.com/video/PbZTlxaEb2oP/ Doctor Scott W. Atlas: https://www.hoover.org/profiles/scott-w-atlas In addition to the above, I have watched dozens of testimonials from the patients themselves many of which were on the news but can be found on youtube. The video with Zelenko is one of his latest and in it he mentions using other drugs to treat the Wuhan Flu because politics is making it hard for many to gain access to HCQ. I was listening while preparing this post for you, I think he may have mentioned another over-the-counter medicine to work with zinc to kill the virus which would be great for your son. Prayers for you and yours, hope he gets well soon.
  10. Masks are a feel good measure, they do almost nothing in the way that people employ them. The N95 mask filters down to .30 microns and the average size of Covid-19 is .13 microns. What do you think surgical masks and scarves filter down to? Yesterday we saw a woman in a Volvo pull up to a pump at the gas station and don one of those face shields over her head and of course she was wearing a cotton surgical mask. There was nobody within 10-15 feet of her. Then there's those who wear them in their cars while driving... the whole world has gone mad.
  11. Well, zinc is an over the counter item and that is what kills this thing. The FDA allows those doctors to use HCQ on this if they actually read the orders and quit watching CNN. They have HCQ in their pharmacies as they give the stuff out like candy to them before they travel overseas to prevent malaria. Remind him that he can get treated by a civilian doctor If he can get off base or do a televisit with a doctor stateside if he's aboard ship.
  12. What is your fuel pressure with the key on and at idle? Does it hold for 5 minutes before bleeding down?
  13. Is he taking HCQ with zinc? A cousin is recovering also without having taken anything and a friend of my father, in his 70s, has been in the hospital for three weeks and all they're giving him are useless anti-biotics. President Obama while running for office in 2008 was taking HCQ. Here's the stats for Florida: The media and their communist brethren want you to acquaint new cases with deaths, that is why they are all but silent on how many people are dying except when they can spin it and scare people. As one can easily see, this thing is nowhere near that deadly and it still remains a threat to those who are very ill, almost like a virus designed to weed out the infirm.
  14. Get out in the clear, open to the south and ask them to resend.
  15. Not ashamed to say that I support and will vote for President Trump! As for a lifting a 2WD truck, it's your money, do as you wish.
  16. So what's happening that leads someone to believe they are in the beginning stage of failure. NEVER heard of this before.
  17. HCQ in conjunction with zinc is what kills the virus. Hydroxychloroquine opens up the cell and allows the zinc to enter which does the killing. Put it another way, HCQ is the gun and zinc is the bullet. HCQ by itself does little or nothing. HCQ with Azithromycin (Z-Pack) or Doxycycline does little or nothing. You gotta have the zinc. And high dosages are not required either. Standard zinc pills that you buy at Walmart is all that's needed. Standard Z-Pack and those 200 milligram pills of Plaquenil that that cost about a dime each. The entire 5-day regimine costs less than $20. The VA Study and others basically killed their patients by administering lethal doses in their studies with no background as to why the dosages needed to be so high. Don't hold your breath on criminal charges against those cretins.
  18. There are four actuators and the one that controls where the air goes to is called the Mode Actuator and is located under the dash on the driver's side near the center. These are the numbers for mine: 15-73952/89018374 Plug your VIN in here and have a look: https://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/catalog/catalog_search.php
  19. It is expected that the cases are increasing. Mainly because in the last few weeks we went from testing 100,000 people in America per day to 600,000 thousand people in America per day. We are more quickly gaining a picture of how widespread this already was.
  20. Well, the parents of school age children aren't usually that old! But my caveat stands, the old and infirm should isolate themselves until the risk to them has abated.
  21. It's beyond stupid to keep the schools closed when you do the numbers. Let the elderly and infirm work/learn from home.
  22. Same here, I thought of piece mealing it but such doesn't pay. Did my front brakes last year and thought about but decided not to replace the calipers. Well guess what we're doing now? The whole front brake system again because a piston got stuck and smoked the brakes!
  23. Well, once you find out what ECM the L83 uses, you'll want to know if it talks to the BCM and other modules in your truck still. That seems like more work than its worth even though the L83 is a great engine. The transmission and transfer case should be the same but their computer hardware may be different.
  24. Welcome from the Treasure Coast of Florida! Nice looking truck!
