Just made an order for some Amsoil SS. It'll be the first oil change in my '14 Chevy LTZ 6.2L with only 43k on it. The dude that had it before me was running Castrol Synthetic, I'm sure it'll be happier after the change.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Well, I do know for a fact that it does cancel road noise, as well as the rest of the benefits you mention. No, I don't have laboratory proof to post on hand, but, I have been part of the testing in the past and can tell you it cancel road noise. If you look back at my post where I mention the me Dodge I used to own, it gives you the idea.

 

I can't go into too many specifics about any certain automaker, or vehicle, as some of the legal paper with I had to sign is still in effect.

 

 

The next thing to go after is how transparent the glass is, but that would be going off topic.

I agree that it quiets the noise .... as far as glass .. I remember the Buick Rainer came out they laminated plastic between the front door glass to make it a quieter cabin.

Have a good day all!

This past Saturday, me and my truck were in the Strawberry Festival Parade in Pasadena TX. I was the safety/water vehicle for my son's high school marching band.

Had to get the truck rebalanced again due to heavy vibrations. Apparently the guy at the tire shop a couple of weeks ago didn't bother to remove the previous wheel weights. Went to another shop and a couple of wheels had 9-10 ounces of weights staggered all about. Tech removed all weights actually dismounted and remounted 1 tire and high speed balanced every wheel and tire. Ride is smooth again and I didn't mind leaving the tech a good tip.

ive done waaaay too much research on it as well. The consensus thus far is to steer clear of water based and use the rustoleum "professional" floor kit. I will be buying it this week for my new house. If that works out in the 2.5 car garage, i'll end up doing the 30x40 concrete floor in the pole barn as well.

Please LMK if you find anything else out about epoxy as my brain is now mush.

AS you know, prep is key. degrease, scrub, powerwash, etch.

good luck

I did my garage about two months ago with the rustoleum professional kit.. actually I had to wind up buying 3 kits. So far so good. It has a very nice gloss to it and have had my vehicles in and out and all the paint is sticking down with no issues. Wish I would have done this years ago, this makes cleaning up the floor a breeze when your out there working and now my little guy can be out in the garage with me rolling his toy trucks around without getting dirty and getting me yelled at by the wife lol.

And this is how crappy my floor was before...

My garage is 28x26 ...I wound up using 2 and a half kits. Put it on pretty thick I guess. And I also purchased extra bags of the paint" flakes " to throw in there. I bought my kits from Home Depot.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
