thought i'd vent a little bit, here on the weekends punk ass 16 year old kids take daddy's diesel out and have a wannabe redneck fest...essentially racing stop light to stop light..i hate those people, they don't deserve a driver's license let alone a truck to drive...i'll drive home from work and get every truck revving trying to race me, last night i got sprayed with diesel soot from a dirtymax at every light, wtf do people not value anything anymore? do they not see the bow tie on the grill? i'm on their team what the hell... i love my truck, enought that i feel no need to hammer on it to show off....some people don't deserve to drive the bowtie and or the crimson letters..its a respect thing you know?

I don't exactly hate 16 year olds as I was one at one point, myself. But, I don't care for the arrogant people driving their trucks around like they don't give a shit about it. It may be the parents fault, though. Cause they'll just buy a new one if the old one tears up and give it to him again. He might treat it nice for a month tops, but after a while it's back to the same grind tearing it up. Someone needs to teach those kids a little about life and how nothing is free. But, his parents are just as bad, back when I was in school, every morning his dad would pass me going like 80. It seems like around here, anyone who has a duramax is slightly arrogant especially a kid.

How come white kids don't have after-school jobs anymore? Are parents so wealthy or sacrifice-minded that they give the kids whatever they want in order that they can "fit in"? Instead of *ussy-whipped, is good ole dad teen-whipped?

Don't have that problem around here with the Duramax. The only ones who pull that crap are the Dodges with Cummins in them.

My dad drives a Duramax and is always quick to put my in my place when we are driving near each other...what does that say about him? Probably just a 16 year old on the inside :P Of course, being the diesel enthusiast that I am, I have at least made sure his doesn't smoke. I'd hate to have to wash soot off of my truck.

Where i work, in that neck of the woods, there are my bmw's , lambos , Ferrari's, landrovers , porsches , mercedes etc... etc... than anywhere ive seen! And the crazy thing is, the people driving these vehicles should not be able to afford them! 16-17yo's / and the ones on welfare! It gets me sooo pissed off when i see teeners driving around in a 100k + car , and not giving a shit in how they drive them!

I agree as I'm white and worked my ass off and drove around in a 89 grand marquis.

The question of the day is:

 

Did you whip your kids as much as your parents whipped you?

 

There's the rub.

if i had a son or daughter that was taking my truck out to pretty much mash on it...their punishment would be swift and severe, its one thing if the kid is smart and cares about stuff and just wants to take it to the movies or whatever...but to go out and race it let alone beat on it till its pukeing black soot in large clouds onto other people cars...hell no, i was so close to following that dmax till it parked and rattlying somebody cage

Meh. I'm not going around revving anyone at lights but I pretty much mash on mine all the time. If I wanted to drive slow, I would have kept my F150.

 

I'd be much more worried about a 16yo texting or otherwise not paying attention and T-boning me in an intersection.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
