So i started this new job and they got two different styles of trucks this company uses. 2008 silverado crew cab short box 5.3 and the new titans.

 

So the huge gm/chevy fan iam i wanted to drive the chevy first over that jap thing. Im pretty let down from chevy. I tried a couple of their trucks and i dunno whats wrong with them but they got no power. the truck shifts like 5 times before it gets to 100km/h. and when you step on it and gears down of course but it wont shift back up the rpms will just stick at 4000. Thats all three trucks and the ride so rough. i was disapointed, but dont worry i still love them.

 

The titans. The power is actually decent but to me its still a gay truck and if someone sees me owning on please shoot me haha. they are pretty gay looking and the interior is kinda faggish.

titans are for those guys that are trying to make up for something, they are over hyped gas guzzlers, rather weak from what i hear..

Titans are so stupid that Nissan is now going to have RAM (new brand name for Dodge Trucks, its not Dodge anymore, it's RAM) build the Titan for Nissan. Hell Nissan can't even sell 10,000 of the Titan's a year, that's very sad. I think they had good potential, but they were ugly and the interiors SUCK.

Limiters no dought, you can order them from the factory with them on there.

 

My brother-in-law had a fleet of mixed S-10s and full size Chevy trucks for his company and he had all of them with limiters on them from the factory.

Calling a truck gay? Coming from a guy who has pet cats?

 

 

 

:happysad:

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously, No, Ram(Chrysler) will not be making the Titan. That deal's been off for quite some time now... :D

I raced my vmax against my best friends titan. Both vehicles were completly stock at the time. He blew me away and got a full truck length ahead of me. That is until my 4 seconds of nannies wore off. Then I passed him like he wasn't even moving. My GMC hit 98mph and of course it couldn't go anymore so my buddy passed me up again.

 

So "technically" he won. His truck still looks gay though.

I agree a Titan's interior is pretty bad, but optioned right they don't look bad, but I'd never own one, and they have potential as far as looks and performance. Now the Tundra, thats an ugly bitch

Glad to see so many members are comfortable with their sexuality. So, if a Titan is "Gay" or "Faggish", what other slurs do you guys use to describe other trucks?

Your an operator, or what are you doing with it? If its a company truck, and they probably wont let you tune it on their dime, I'd take the titan unless your planning on buying it out if your company offers that. Sure the chev is a nicer truck, but the titan is quicker, and is going to get the heck beat out of it anyways. Might as well have some fun while you work.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Of course actually engaging four wheel drive is step one or even daring to use a ramp like that with a two wheel drive and getting into a mess because of it. As to 4 low, these last few years if its a GM half ton it may not even have low range. A lot of the newer pickups have a lot lower first gear in an automatic transmission then they once did as it was common at one time for a gas engine truck or even the older diesels to just sit there and bog the engine due to the torque converter stall point and not enough torque was generated on reasonable traction to even spin a tire or get out of its own way up a steep grade and 4 low HAD to be used to get enough power to four tires to get them turning. These days traction control systems may hinder a vehicle in a situation like that although that means a tire or tires are spinning so in some ways the traction control can reduce wild spinning and anyone can correct me on that but I think some vehicles cut traction control off in low range ?.    By the sounds of it and you may have the proper equipment but if your responsible for helping vehicles out if they are not able to get out under their own power, I would say to be using a nylon tow rope or have one available so that one is able to give a bit of a run to help sling shot them some initial momentum as most tow straps are made out of polypropylene and impart way too much shock load if used to jerk a stuck vehicle into motion but are totally fine to use if going more from almost a dead pull with the tow vehicle and they are a lot less expensive to replace if damaged. That and some soft shackles to hook onto closed loop tow hooks on the truck your pulling as well as you having the proper shackle insert in your truck so there are no bad accidents with metal clevises joining things together or chain on the end of a tow rope or tow balls being hooked onto etc flying and causing damage or worse if it lets go. Its always a challenge pulling people because some are clueless and will over run the tow rope or strap and drive over it or that risk of ramming into the back of the tow vehicle so usually a few instructions are needed to clue in the driver of the stuck truck. Yeah ... have fun out there 😉

      OCI, not when but why?

      In their own words:    https://blog.amsoil.com/how-engine-sludge-forms-and-how-to-prevent-it-2/   [Quote] Synthetic Oil Helps Prevent Sludge Fortunately, sludge and varnish deposits are something that can be controlled. Using thermally stable synthetic base oils reduces the rate of degradation (oxidation).   Antioxidant additives further help reduce the rate of degradation. One of the most widely used is zinc dithiophosphate. Not only is it an excellent oxidation inhibitor, but it is also an outstanding anti-wear additive.   High-Quality Additives Fight Sludge Fortunately, it is possible to address many of the issues that occur after the initial oxidation stage. Additives, such as detergents and dispersants, help promote the suspension of contaminants within the oil and keep them from agglomerating.   Detergents, which are also alkaline in nature, assist in neutralizing acids generated in the sludge-building process. Antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives are consumed during use.   To achieve maximum life expectancy, use a motor oil with high concentrations of antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives.  [End Quote]   So quality base oil and then the last sentence above. TBN and ZDP levels matter. The one thing not covered was sufficient viscosity. Sad.     And yet we now have since API SN lower amount of them all with the only real change being a slight up tick in base oil selection. Along with lower concentrations of everything that makes oil work and lower and lower viscosity there is still an insistence on longer OCI's.    How low does the peanut butter and jelly level have to get before we say it's just white bread folded?    The new smoke and mirror treatment is the 'additives are INVISIBLE' to UOA testing with a health dose of TRUST ME.    I'm not picking on AMSOIL. This is coming from all of them. Every last one of them that abandon the low wear model in favor of the high mpg/EPA compliance model.

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
