Most of you know me as some other person, however I will not tell you who.  I hope I was able to add a little happiness and fun into your lives over the last two days I existed on this board.  I know I have never laughed so much in my life.

 

Thanks for the fun guys!

I had my suspisions.  I mean, trying to run the truck in 4lo is something that I would expect my mom to do.  And that is why she is not allowed to drive it when there is snow on the ground.

Ha Ha, Boy, that was a goodun.  Glad you were able to amuse yourself.  I think I would hide my real identity also, if I were in your shoes.

 

I guess the next person who asks what I consider to be a lame question, I should just tell to ****off.  Ho Ho HO

That was good. I fell for it at the beginning, thinking you were just some idiot with a new truck that crossed Josh. I was thinking, "Bad move, kid. He's not the one you want to piss off."

I didn't follow it enough to see it get completely ridiculous, though.

Y'all have too much time on your hands!

Anyone ever heard of the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf?"  Good thing some found it amusing, I think I'd have been a little ticked off to think I was actually taking the time to help someone, when it was just a "joke".

For 5 bucks I'll tell you ewho it was. :D

c'mon tell us.  I'll give you a cookie...

Oops, I forgot. :D

 

But on a serious note, the member who played this prank (Who will be kept annonymous) Gave me a PM and said he is sorry to all the members who's feelings he may have hurt.

 

So let's just put this incident behind us, and get back to normal.:D

 

thanks

Does the person who did this really care if everyone knows?  I would be kinda proud:)

    • 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.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • 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, 
    • 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.   
    • 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.
