Redneck hell I believe. I've seen some ignorant tatoos but getting "Z71" tatooed on your forearm tops it. It doesn't even mean anything with GM anymore. Hell, every truck rolling off the line is a Z71. :rollin:

 

 

Redneck hell is fine by me. That's just the way I am. I take it as a compliment, not an insult. Maybe it's just where I'm from and the people around here. We seemed to blow up z71 to way more than skid plates and shocks. Our trucks are everything, it's a z71 or nothing lol. That's why I was comfortable putting it on my arm.

"Oh look someone did something that I wouldn't do they must be awful lets insult them"

 

I've had enough of this mentality around here, if you don't like it don't comment about it.

How about this... If you don't like this guys tattoo then keep it to your dam self. No need to make fun of him and call names. So what if he wants a Z71 tat on his arm or anywhere else for that matter. It's his body he can do with it as he pleases

Wanna ban people for having opposing viewpoints, eh?

Nope i just don't believe in calling people names for them having a tattoo. I never said anything about banning anyone.

I thought people are entitled to their opinions as well, I saw no direct insults there he didn't like it so what? LOL

 

Hopefully some of these new mods don't power trip and start banning people for lame reasons.

 

From now on we have to like everything or don't comment? You know how boring that would make this place if nobody voiced disbelief with what someone did? You'd end up with a lot more dead threads.

 

The tattoo is redneck, I agree with the commenter who posted it. That's like tattooing your high school sweetheart's name on your arm!

There is a difference between saying you don't like something and being a :troll: , some people haven't figured out that line in the sand yet...

 

No way I would ever get that tattoo and that's fine, it isn't my friggin arm. If that is what he wanted at least it is QUALITY work.

Not something I would do even on a dare... but I think the OP has the right to tattoo whatever he wants on his own body.

 

I also think we have the right to voice an opinion about it (good or bad) if he's gonna post it for everybody to see in an open forum.

I agree 100% there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, that's basically what a forum is about. Opinions make threads interesting. But as stated above, there's no need for insults and shit talking.

I was just using your words from a similar exchange where you were making it clear it was okay to post your opinion on something. :D

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
