if you actually went to the college and graduated that shit might fly, but most people showing that much burnt orange aint never even stepped foot in a u.t. classroom.

 

Even though I'm a 'Horns fan, I'm in agreement with this statement. Looks a little eastside.

 

i do have one of these on my truck though:

krobocop, you do know that OU is UT's biggest rival, don't you? :)

 

Just like an Aggie... put the sticker in the middle of the back glass so it's in the way. DOH!

If it's cool to have your tag inset on a diagonal, how about putting them stickers on crooked, too? Man, put a lean on everything!

In regard to things hanging from the interior rear view mirror, anything that impedes the driver's field of view is a ticketable offense. Doesn't matter if it's a picture of dear old Mom. I'll write you up in a heartbeat. Put the cellphone down, too.

 

Try it, another stupid ass law in effect :lol: . Ill give ya on the cellphone yes, not the rear view mirror. What about a law for putting on makeup or shaving in the morning etc, those are waaay more of a hindrance then having something hung on the rear view.

 

 

 

In CA at least, putting on makeup, shaving, or any other thing, whether it's eating a KFC leg or reading the WSJ, is a ticketable offense as there is a law, I was informed by my Deputy brother, that covers any type of distraction activity while driving. Apparently, all you have to do is show a bit of distraction, by a wobble or if the cop just sees you doing something distracting you, you can get a ticket.

 

 

By that right, if a cop sees you picking your nose your screwed! :lol: People are always going to be distracted, its the way of stupidity! :lol:

It DOES fly cause I am CURRENTLY going to college. I started at UT and will end at UT. After graduation, I might take it off since that will be the end of my college days and simply put either a small sticker or a small silver one on the tailgate. Perhaps you would like to keep paying the tuition for me?

I don't know about your jurisdiction but even those ugly diagonal tags are illegal in my state.

Should we include the stick-on hood scoops????

 

Only if their not tasteful, what about side steps when you dont have a lifted truck?? :angel:

 

 

There's practical uses beyond just needing a step to get into your truck, for example the people in the beat up cars that always seem to park beside me. If they hit me with there door, it hits the bar instead of my truck. Well worth the price of admission to skip out on that dent.

I like the college stickers on back glasses, but I like this one better:

One thing i'll add that I didn't see yet, what about SS badging on regular vehicles. Pointless I say.

They've already been mentioned, but I'll second (or triple, etc) the stick on vents. As soon as you cross the Baton Rouge city limits they are out in droves. From newer model Impalas to twenty year old hoopties to Mustangs and even full size trucks, these things are out of control. I'll stop with that as there are many things I consider useless.

      Thrust bearing is a very small window.  But nice try.   Turbo oil filter?  Haven't seen any failures.  Change your oil more frequently.  Use a better oil than the factory oil.

      There is a p/n called out in the one PI that GM has.  Curt 57003 inline load adapter that is used for LED trailers that are having trouble with these newer trucks.  No cutting, no splicing, etc.  GM did update the lighting module around 2023 to better pick up trailers with LED lighting, but it still can happen.     Here's the link to the Curt site for it - 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter (Not a Wiring Extension) SKU #57003 by CURT   The PI I am referencing - MC-10208985-9999.pdf   Its not just a GM deal either.  Newer Fords and Rams have this same problem.       In another PI, they recommend that the trailer has a Pollock brand 7 way on it as that is who makes the truck sides for the OEMs.  GM is also big on making sure the trailer is trouble free.  So no wiring issues, all lights are functional, better quality 7 way plug, etc.     The other PI I am referencing - MC-10178359-9999.pdf   The model year range is older but it is the current PI for 2014-2026.  It calls out the Pollock RV HD 7 way they recommend.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.
