Well she's all hooked up an running. Great oil pressure compared to the old motor. Only problem is that the shift cable broke, and now I have to wait for a new one. Ugh! It's always something.

Yea that's what I did on my Cruze. I've gotten two speeding tickets in it now, and neither Police Officer said anything about the tint. I did roll the window down though for both stops, but the one stop was at night. I turned the interior lights on for that one.

Never though of turning the interior light on. I've always had 20% on my vehicles but it seems trucks don't get messed with as much as cars around me for some reason.

Also I live 5mins from the MD line so there a bunch of Marylanders moving up here and they all have tint.

I wish PA would lower the limit a bit 70% is BS

Out in Colorado 5% was the norm.

I don't understand messing with the cars more than the trucks. The cars are worse trying to drive at night because of everyone's headlights so you'd think they'd understand, but I guess not. 70% is a bit ridiculous. You basically might as well not have any tint.

I don't think all cops in PA enforce it because I have double 5 and 20 percent on the windshield and haven't had any issues. Where are you in PA? Edited by KMGZ400

I haven't has any issues yet either. 20% on the doors and rear window and a 5% tint strip about 4 inches down from the as1 line. I think in PA the majority of cops don't care.

I'm in southern York county and my particular Township are assholes about it. Believe me id rather have 20% to match the rear but no go where I live without putting windows down each time I pass a cop. Been there done that.

Picked up a tailgate spoiler and the last rubber Inlay I needed for my center console today. When I got home the new temperature control unit was waiting on the steps too.

Yea it's a much more sturdy cap. It'd still have one if someone hadn't broken the one that was on it.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
