On Tuesday there was a kid in our neighborhood who was stabbed at school.  One kid had a kitchen knife and stabbed another boy in the chest/stomach area.  Not really sure exactly where, but we've heard the boy had a punctured lung and damaged liver.  Some people that witnessed it say the boy who had the knife said "I'm going to kill you!" when he stabbed the other boy.  The boy who was stabbed, said he didn't even know the other boy.  And to top it all off, this is a 4th and 5th grade school!!  The school my son will be going to next year.  

 

It makes you wonder about why that boy stabbed the other.  What was he thinking?  Was he mad, depressed, thought he was just playing around, etc.  I don't know any background on the boy, so I have no clue about a reason.

 

If you have kids, or when you do, show them that you love them and they are someone special.  God forbid it would ever happen, but it could prevent them getting involved in something like this.  Plus, you never know when it could happen to them.

 

 

BTW, the boy who was stabbed got to come home from the hospital today and is doing good.   :P

That is disturbing, but I can't say that it surprises me.......

 

Wasn't it just 2 or 3 years ago we were afraid to send our children to school cause of all those shootings going on?

 

 

Actually, I have some horror stories from the elementary school I went to. (which I won't tell here.....too vulgar)

 

Tom, I hope your son goes through that school ok.

 

I also hope the same thing for all you guys with school-age children.

This sucks.  That is horrible.  I hope the boy is OK.  And I hope the other boy gets help too, he obviously needs something.  I really hate to hear this, especially since my fiancee and I are both going to be teachers.

 

Tom, tell J.T. Becky and I love him.

Middle School/Junior High, we have both.  It depends on the county, but they're moving towards middle schools state wide, and making all the high schools 9-12, instead of some 10-12 and some 9-12.

 

I'll be in a junior high/ middle school or a high school.

It's always a shame to hear about that kind of stuff.  I've got a little sister in grade school and you used to think that children were safe in school.

 

Make sure you give our deepest sympathy and regards for a speedy recovery from all the guys at gm-trucks.com

      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.
