Howdy oleblue,

The PUTC forum was down for me on Friday morning, but I have had no problems accessing the site since then.  Haven't heard of any other problems, except Roofer on Friday as well.

Are you trying to access the forum from a bookmark, if so just try and go to the main page first.  I believe they did some work to the forum over there and that may be messing you up.

btw, have you figured out who I am?  I post on PUTC under a different name.    :biggrin:

Exept for maybe Roofer?I know all of you that responded fairly well and most of you and i get along just fine.But it would just cause conflict for me cause some of your other members who dont know me would wonder,who the h!ll is that?

What is spewed out through the keyboard is usaually (mostly) bull compared to actually meeting the person behind the ip.

I dont hate GM and infact (this can be posted at PUTC.dont care)My heart is really with the work that goes into projects and the friends that are made at doing that.If anyone has noticed,I have (exept joking)refrained from getting into real heated arguements about Ford this or Chevy that.Truth is i learned one thing from the BB's i visit.It's about the general interests and not hating people or the beliefs over a brand of US truck.I am not a GM man but do work on them with friends and will start a '70 Olds Cutlass 442(clone)project in the fall.I dont dog  my friends rides so why should i dog anybodys?I am perfectly happy with my Ford trucks and always will be.But just wanted to vent hear where most who might judge me wont even know me so i dont care what they think.

Thanks for the place to vent!!:)Am i gonna go "turn coat "on my Ford trucks?H*ll no!I love 'um.Just wanted those i know to know that all Ford truck guys are not alike and i would rather be wrenchin' on anything American that trying to stir the pot on the web with Chevy guys.

Peace:)...blue

How can you say that blue? You and I had a couple interesting chats on PUTC. It wasn't just battling either, I remember actually getting answers from you, and you actually listening to me. Don't you remember?

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
