From Jayski's:

 

Mikey and Terry have words: Drivers #5-Terry Labonte and #15-Michael Waltrip had an altercation after the race, but neither man would discuss the incident. Waltrip went to talk to Labonte at Labonte's hauler before Labonte angrily went after Waltrip. Labonte had to be pulled away from Waltrip after chasing him down in the garage area. Waltrip finished 20th Sunday and Labonte was 26th, but Labonte was a lap behind Waltrip. The two drivers have had several bumping incidents in races this season.(Dallas Morning News)

AND For some reason, Michael Waltrip and Terry Labonte, who were running six positions and one lap apart from each other at the end of the race, nearly came to blows in the garage area. They had to be separated just outside Labonte’s team hauler, Waltrip apparently having gone inside to confront Labonte. The source of their mutual anger was not ascertained. One Labonte crewman, when asked what caused the two to clash, said only, “Michael (Waltrip) running his mouth.”

Labonte better watch out.  He's too old to be picking this fight, who's he got on his team, Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, and Joe Nemechek from Hendrick and MAYBE his brother Bobby.  Ooo I bet Michael's scared.  He's got Park and Jr, with Jr's posse and big brother Darrell.

 

I think they should just put DEI and the posse in a cage with Hendrick and let'em go at it.   :D

Hey Gun, I just noticed the 18 Bobby Labonte plate on your truck.   :thumb: Good choice on drivers, Bobby is my favorite too.  Joe Gibbs Racing :thumb:  :D

Hey, atleast Mikey has won  races since the 1900s.  :D

Sure, but I don't remember hearing about Mikey winning a Championship...or even coming remotely close at that...

I used to be a Terry Labonte fan.  Until he cried for a month about Earnhardt (who I was not a fan of) wrecking him at Bristol.  Labonte started the whole thing, but couldn't take what he dished out.  He's nothing but a cry baby and a has been IMO.

I hadn't heard about this.  ???  Seems kind of stange to me as it doesn't really fit either driver. Terry is pretty open with his opinions, but I wouldn't call him a Crybaby. I would like to think they were fighting over who is going to put a knot on  R. Gordans head first. Just cause he needs it.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is: First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees

      OCI, not when but why?

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.
