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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
