Transient

All automotive manufacturers are being affected by a shortage of semi-conductors on a global scale. GM was as proactive as they could've been. Other car companies were hit harder. This has been in the news for a few months now. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looks like I'm helping some neighbors move. Neighbor's wife across the street contacted me. Doesn't think her husband's F150 can handle the job. He has a little engine (2.7 v6). She needs All American Muscle from my 6.2 V8. Apparently, I'm helping move the piano. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Black isn't dark enough for my soul. However, I don't like black vehicles. They're too boring. I want something that's just as nice, but has a little more flair. I usually gravitate towards dark grey, but GM doesn't offer that on the T1s, so I found myself going towards blue. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Have you ever heard of WhatsApp? That's what my wife and I use to communicate whenever she's out of country. It's free. You can use it to text, do phone calls, and even do video calls. Speaking of boomers v millennials, remember they fantasy about video calls in the 80s and 90s? It's a daily thing now. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

2020 Trail Boss LT 6.2 w/ GM CAI and Performance Exhaust, and stock 18" Duratracs. Started in Norfolk, VA and ended in San Diego, CA. To I-64 to I-85; to I-40 across NC and TN, into AR; then dropped south to Natchitoches, LA; then back roads to interstate to San Antonio, TX; more back roads to Roswell, NM and then north to I-40; to Flagstaff, AZ and Grand Canyon south rim; north to Grand Canyon north rim; to Mesquite, NV via bank roads to St George, UT and I-15 south; finally down I-15/I-215 to San Diego, CA, and was north of 20 mpg all the time. I was point, and my wife followed in her 2017 Traverse. We need fuel stops at the same time every time. My cruise control was set between 4+ to 8+ over the posted speed limit. Best 50 mile mpg was 23.9 and 25 more mpg is 33.X. don't remember to 400 mile mpg, but it is north of 20. No drafting going on. These trucks with the 6.2 are returning better mpg than estimated by the EPA. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I am my mechanic. I'd do the install myself, then take the truck to the dealer for an alignment. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Not today, but yesterday. Continued from part post. Abridged version: I was able to procure more 3M rubbing compound and scratch remover chemicals without buying whole kits. Also picked up more 3000 grit sandpaper and painters tape. Once I had several hours to commit to working on my truck I was able to remove all the scratches on the driver's side of the truck bed exterior panel. I just have everything in front of the truck bed to go now, on both sides of the truck. Serves me right for taking a Trail Boss down a truck trail. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting this. I stand corrected. I went and looked and found the brake fluid tank. It's under the coolant overflow tank. The brake fluid tank cap is recessed and can be found at the firewall between the coolant overflow tank and left side inner fender. Looking from the front you'll never see it because the air box obstructs the view. You'll need to be standing next to the truck, right on front of the driver's side mirror.

The answer is yes. My 2020 Trail Boss came with them from the factory. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

You could try transferring all those songs to your phone, then use your phone to connect to your truck via Bluetooth and play them while you drive down the road. Steering wheel buttons work to skip songs and change volume. I have over 2k songs on my phone. This is what I did, but I have Android and bought all my songs through Amazon Music.

Honestly, I don't know what the purpose of this thread is. Conversations are organic in the sense they change over time. Is it really off track if it happens naturally? Feel free to keep doing You. It's one of the benefits of living in a free society. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Masks being a visible act of caring is humorous, especially when you consider that Fauci allegedly wrote a paper in 2008 that most people that died from the Spanish Flu pandemic a century ago didn't die from Spanish Flu, but bacterial pneumonia caused by wearing a mask. Besides, I prefer to breath oxygen, not cotton lint. Our bodies need and expect a certain amount of oxygen with every breath. Failure to have it means an increased heart rate due to diminished oxygenation of the blood, which does impact mental capacity. And, not having enough oxygen in the blood means the body will start producing more red blood cells in an effort to better oxygenate the blood. But, masks are only half the argument. The other half is physical contact that permits spreading of the virus to things like door handles/knobs, staircase railings, credit card readers, and countless other objects. To combat this we see people being told to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer. Medical research has proven doing this too much weakens the body's immune system. You're really damned if you do and damned if you don't. Point being, this country is based on "Liberty". Liberty is dangerous in the sense that "in the interest of safety" is not practical terminology. After all, Ben Franklin said, "Those who would give up a little freedom for safety deserve neither." We've also vacated the willingness to accept others differences, especially in opinions. Therefore, for every person who points at me as being an a-hole for not wearing a mask, I can point back and state they look like a guy who's going to bed alone but chooses to wear a condom for protection (most notably when they're in their car alone). Want all the protections of wearing a mask without any of the negative impacts? I recommend the M500 has mask with the ventilation backpack for purifying air and venting it into the mask so the wearer can breathe. Please don't forget the full level 4 MOP suit. Blend all your foods into a thin liquid and store it in a canteen. You'll be able to drink it through the straw. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

There's no brake issue. Like you said, it's only before startup. My peddle goes almost all the way to the floor when I get in the truck before I press the ignition button. Once the truck is running the peddle feels like a normal peddle. Did you notice there's also no place under the hood to fill the brake fluid reservoir? That's because there isn't one. These new trucks have an interesting (aka, witchcraft) brake system. After all, if the engine turns off at a stop light the truck doesn't roll backwards when you let off the brakes and it restarts. Same wizardry, in my opinion. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Other research says the antibodies are only good for up to 300 days. Because of this, at least 1 doctor has come out and said we'll never achieve herd immunity. When I asked my wife about this she said, "What's the point of mask mandates when all this is never going to change?" As for what I'm doing with my spare time, I'm getting ready to sue the government for deprivation of civil rights. I never committed a crime and have never been adjudicated, but found out I was being deprived of a civil right simply because my wife made a career move many years ago. No, she not a criminal either.

I terrine only filling up while there's sunlight. Zombies are noisy, but B-rated movies have taught me they can use the darkness to sneak up on you. At least you'll have a better chance of seeing them coming while there's sunlight. Imo, filling up right before sundown and driving all night is better than driving all day. I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time. However, Hollywood can't put anything in a movie that isn't true. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I recently linked an article to my wife that had a doctor stating herd immunity will possibly not happen. My wife said, "So why wear masks at all?" The brilliance of the question made me realize she finally switched from Team Feel Good to Team Intelligence. She's an APN. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
