If you are traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your lights, do you ever see the lights come on?

How iam I going to get to the front of the truck to see if the lights come on?

 

 

I'm talking visually...

If you are traveling at .9 times the speed of light and throw a baseball in the same direction that you're traveling at a speed of .3 times the speed of light, what is the initial velocity of the baseball as soon as it leaves your hand?

e=mc squared.

 

A squared + B squared = C squared...

Never mind that Newtonian physics is completely thrown out the proverbial window in the presence of a matter - antimatter reaction channeled through a warp conduit! :dunno:

What about the "Flux Capicitor"? that can bend the space time continuim and allow time travel which is in essense faster than the speed of light....

the Cochrane Warp Engine and the Brown Flux Capacitor NEED to be invented! The math says ITS POSSIBLE! Imagine a GMT900 that can travel at the Speed of Light AND Time Travel! but I have yet to see someone make a Silverado or a Sierra in STAINLESS STEEL!

It depends, are you in the truck looking out, or are you an observer watching the truck go by?

Nope, but if you sped up just a bit could you then see your headlights in your rear view mirror... :dunno:

Yes you would see the lights come on. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, relative to the observer. You would see the lights come on and the speed of the light coming out of your headlamps would be 186,000 mps. It is constant. [pushes up glasses] :dunno:

Your all wrong for both thinking about and asking the question...if you are travelling at the speed of light than you are light

 

Remember E=MC^2

To travel at the speed of light you are saying that C=C or E/M^-2=C

 

W=MA...so your trucks mass is 255kg

 

so since we are solving for E, we get 255x186K^2 or 255kg X 299 792 458 m / s ^2

E= 76447076790kgm^2/s^2

or Watt

so you need 102,475,974.25HP to acheive Light speed in your truck...in a vacuum.

 

 

since the power requirement is so large Mass becomes negligible as we approach light speed, therefore at the speed of light you become energy and therefore cease to have headlights.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
