Slammed Ford dually and Silverado (Not sure how you can drive anywhere like this)

haha thats what i thought/think about lowering anything unless its fast like a sports car or a bike. but the silvy's ass end was swaying all over the place. Im guessing it was a crappy job. but the body of both trucks in the rear was literally only an inch off of the ground

I think we could throw him a spare wheel off the John Deere if he wants it, or the Budweiser wagon might have a extra wheel in the semi. He could call them.

 

EDIT: I found his brother's truck... :thumbs:

Big tires look better than big rims, but both can get a bit extravagant. Daily drivers should not be that big, weather its rim or tire. I will say, if i had the money to blow on gas and look at me accessories. I would do it to. Just sayin

It's one thing I'll never understand myself. Both ends of the spectrum. If you're gonna make your truck taller, Why put low profile street tires on it? :thumbs: If I'm gonna lift my truck, it's getting mud terrains or something.

 

 

And lowering 1-tons..... Not really much I can say about it.

 

 

I don't understand it, but I'm not gonna hate 'em for it. If it floats their boat more power to 'em!

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

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

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
