Greetings from southern Nevada... yup.

 

I just got rid of my Chrysler 300C (that I loved) because I was tired of not having a truck. Picked up this 2007HD Classic and now, like so many of you, my pockets are lighter :D these things love fuel don't they?

It had a single owner (an older gentleman) who apparently barely drove it. I picked it up with 21k miles on the odometer and it still smells like a new truck. I threw a cheapo billet grill on it for now and scored some H2 wheels from a buddy that will be going on as soon as I decide to buy tires for them... I don't wanna lift it to clear the 315s currently on the rims. Also, I just a Predator put on it and did some data logging so I could fine tune it a bit more (injector slope), it's nice, me likes :D

 

...I also enjoy long walks on the beach.

That is a sharp truck, 21k miles on a 07 Classic HD is unheard of, that ole man just assumed he was going to haul large loads but appearently never did... His loss is your gain... :lol:

Thanks guys!

Yeah, on top of that it doesn't look like he ever even put a hitch in it! There are no marks inside the receiver and the factory connectors for trailer lights haven't been unpackaged. He traded it in for a Colorado, guess he realized he didn't need this much truck any more... not that I do either :lol:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
