Visited the Chevy booth at Ignace. They had a Z71 Silverado and a Silverado pace truck that has an awesome looking tonneau I want to learn more about. Also had a 427 Convertible Vette, a 1LE and ZL1 Camaros. Nice looking stuff. Was hoping to see a C7 but it wasn't there, at least not yet. Saturday is the big day so there's still time.

Uggghg I'm missing it again

 

Not missing much. Parade is due but its pouring. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372461119.454727.jpg

 

On a side note, a Chevelle on drag radials and without wipers sucks in the rain.

All set. You can't sneeze without a cop going by. Local, county, MSP even Border Patrol and forest rangers.

The border is a good 70 miles north. But Ignace is a port city and I think that falls under the purview of the Border Patrol.

Mike, is your Chevelle a 68-69? I think that is what the hood vent is? :jester:

After having my stock winter wheels on the truck while it was being serviced two weeks ago, I finally got the Gunner's and 33" bfg's back on the truck.

Decent eye! My buddy's is a '69. I wish it were mine, he's done a great job on it. Worked over 396 with a turbo 400 and a 125 shot of nitrous. :D

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
