I know I went into shock first, then realized that sitting in the corner and crying wasn't going to help, so I started to actually work, but then realized that in the matter of one day I've done all of my old work that's been piling up over the past few months.  After that I tried surfing the net, but it just wasn't the same.  So, eventually I gave up and went back to crying in the corner.  A few times I hopped in the chat, but aside from GMNewProductInfo being in there it was pretty bare.

 

So what did everyone else do?

Well, thanks to you, Mervz and Ryan, I was prepared for the down  :crazy:

 

I do have to admit, I checked to see if I could connect a couple times, force of habit I guess. I spent some time trying to get some wrestling guys to make for PS2. Aside of that I actually did something constructive and browsed for a birthday present for my wife  :but!: ...needless to say I'm still looking  ???

I finished the novel I was writing, wrote a song about Newbie and his greatness, wrote a few poems, and haikus, watched Steel Magnolias and cried, watched a play, went to the opera, and thought about the true meaning of life.  ;)

JP - You mean you sat there watching football, drinking beer, eating munchies and belching and passing gas, claming that you were having the time of your life???

Glad to see the board is back up.  Sitting at school killing time between classes.  I was quite bored without the site being up.  I did some studying, went to school, watched aimless hours of tv, and drew a crap load of firetrucks in windows paint...lol...gotta whole fire department on the way here :crazy:

I actual went out and did other things then sit on my butt in front of the computer.  It was kind of nice actually, may start doing that alittle more.  Even if that means doing homework.   :exclaim:

 

I was hoping that Jon might get out and try to find some resemblence of a life away from GMTC while it was down, but I guess not.  LOL

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
