I'm tradin' her off boys on an SUV for the wife. Anyone care to guess what she's getting. Couple of clues. 2001, Third row seating, four wheel drive. Hmmm?

Or Suburban.

 

This IS sad.  You should've compromised with her.  She wanted an SUV, you wanted an 8.1L V8.  Get a K2500 Suburban with the 8.1.  All problems solved.  :lol:

All problems except keeping a case of oil for trips.

 

Mark D (ducking and running) :lol:

With a Suburban, he could put the case in many of the cup holders.

Wow, you guys sure are gonna be disappointed :D

Here it is.14424674.jpg

 

We did look at Tahoe's, Escalade's and Denali's but we wanted something a little different. It took some getting used to but I really like it. The ride is suprisingly smooth.

 

Now that she got what she wanted its my turn  :lol:

I should be getting a '98 Z28 today unless this other guy somehow pulls a miracle out of his butt and gets financed.

I was told if the car was still there at 8:00 this morning it was mine, but we'll see.

 

I'm also in the market for another pickup. No one will be disappointed with my decision there  :)

I was expecting responses like that :uhoh:

 

It does have a lot of gadgets inside Duckhunter, I've never seen so many hidden compartments in my life.

 

The way I look at it. It did provide some UAW jobs in Normal IL.

So did buying your Silverado!  Only it was built in Pontiac, Mi.

 

Actually those plant workers in Bloomington/Normal are twiddling their thumbs right now due to the west coast port worker strike.

 

I think as of last night the plant ran out of engines and transmissions.

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?

      side view camera

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.
