Put my boots on for the first time in at least 6 months and headed out for a trip to Sonic. Appropriately enough, there were a ton of good country tunes on the radio on the trip home.

I pulled into a parking spot at Best Buy and bumped into the front of a beautiful pearl white GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Denali. The driver was sitting in his truck. I got out immediatly apologized to him and asked him to give it a look over and let me know if he finds any damage on his truck. He was satisfied that there was no damage (had a bull bar) but pointed out a nice scratch on the front plastic bumper of my Impala but told him I don't care. It's just your basic rental car. We talked for a moment about his truck, told him about my old D-Max, shook his hand, apologized again and he said all was cool. I was very ashamed for having bumped into it but am grateful he was nice about it.

Then later we end up two tracking and he went in a drying up lake and got stuck instantly I got out and said point proven. Eventually someone showed up picked me and my friend up and we got my truck.. I whipped some shitty in the mud after to further prove my point... shut that kid up..

In high school I pulled out people with my ~160hp pickup more than once, lol. I did have to use a Duramax once, when someone was really stuck and the road wasn't bad. I will say even with the crappy Goodyears my 2006 would run circles around the 1990 in most conditions. It digs.

It blew my mind how he literally just got this truck and is talking about how he knows way more than I think and I know absolutely nothing.. This kid just met me and I can clearly tell from everything he was saying that he knows nothing. Just by the way he was talking and everything he was doing. Lol he even said to me how long have you been partying I'm like um.. Idk or care. He goes I have since I was 8 I'm like wow that's really pathetic and depressing.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      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.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      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!
