In Illinois this week for work. Turns out the Weathertech factory is up the road from my hotel. Picked up a pair of floor mats for the truck. Just the fronts for now.

And now they're in the truck. Fit is excellent as always. Had sets in my Tacoma and the Legacy. I also hate the Chicago area so much I get to go back next week. :lol:

Not a sports fan at all, sorry.

 

 

But seriously? A Cubs game?

 

 

As a relocated New Englander living in Michigan going to a Cubs game would be all kinds of wrong. :lol:

 

 

But yes, Chicago sucks. I have no use for the whole big city living/experience thing. And I have to leave my gun at home. If I can't have my gun, I don't like being there.

This. Both statements. But I would leave my gun at home to get into NY long enough for a Yankee game.

 

I wanted to see the ranger v yankee game in Arlington tomorrow but sadly my boys aren't old enough to stand the lack of wiggle room. They barely lasted an hour at the zoo in a stroller.

The atmosphere is worth it because they are the Cubs. Personification of all of us- good years, bad years, years of promise and years of struggle. To almost reach the top not quite get there and start all over again. Everyone can relate to the Cubs in one way or another, whether you love em or hate em.

I've heard the same about Fenway (atmosphere that is). I'd be willing to give them a go since they're my hometown team I guess but honestly I don't know a damn thing about most games in terms of rules or the flow of the game.

 

And I seriously doubt I have the game needed to land any of the lookers. :lol:

Got this today, I'm glad it came up clean!!!

 

Things look great in this first report for your Silverado. Our universal averages for the GM 5.3L V-8

are based on ~5,800 miles of oil use, and you can see that your metals are reading at or below those
averages on a similar oil run. That's a good indication that there are no mechanical issues or other obvious
problems developing, at least as far as we can see. No moisture, dirt, or fuel was detected, and the low level
of insolubles points to good oil filtration. All in all, things are looking great for this engine as it crosses the
100,000-mile mark. Try 7,500 miles next oil. Nice!

 

l'm especially glad that there wasn't any dirt, I guess the filters have been doing their jobs. :thumbs:

Saw a 2014 Camaro today. Confused the hell outta me cause I saw the back of it with that god awful thin tail-lamps. I initially thought I would like the small tweaks they made but I just don't like it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
