I cranked up my truck and foolishly shut the door real quick without rolling down the window which locked my key in the truck while it was running on a Friday when i just got off work! Thank god for my spare key!

28 now, 29 next month. I trained myself in my single digit years to resist impulse purchases and set goals with my allowance from chores. 5 bucks a week took a long time to buy the next $50-60 Mario game or box of baseball cards so I guess that helped too. :lol:

 

When I first bought the house I was eating ramen 3 times a week. :lol: It was that or sell this:

I later did sell it, though, when I got married. It helped erase the wife's student loans, and took a chunk of the mortgage too.

 

It was a beast. Had a pro built 383 that was painted to look like a stock 350 block, and had some expensive ProTopLine heads, which were apparently so amazing the company was bought out by a big player soon after releasing them(what I was told in a Camaro forum when I asked about them).

 

Ryan, take note of this:

 

My only regret is I didn't drive it more.

No offense to Ryan but there is a whole lot of difference between those two cars, I would be scared some teenage punk that just got his liscense and driving a pinto would hit me.

Thanks I would show pics of my emblems but it's pouring rain, I finished pulling the excess off the doors and the tailgate was out in the rain( sudden storm blew in QUICK ) and it slacked up enough to turn the truck around and amazingly enough it was dry enough to be good so I started untaping and pulling the excess and everything held except for the O in silverado and the Z in LTZ and it took so much to the grille I don't have enough left to fix it. :(

      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!
