I'm superstitions but not for numbers that I know will happen. In other words, you know the odometer will eventually read 666 at some point as the natural progression of the odometer reading has to cross the 666 threshold to get from 665 to 667. There's no avoiding it.....there's no real chance or luck involved that you'll hit mile 666....it's a mathematical certainty that you will. We all will. That's completely different than going to the grocery story, getting a few random items, and the total comes out to $6.66. That's when you buy something else haha

I'm not overly superstitious either, I understand it will happen, just like Friday the 13th. But, to travel and then park it I my driveway in 666. Gives me another reason to drive an extra mile. Lol

I have a 5.3 with 3.08s and I can't top 19mpg. I'm 90% interstate too..

Little driving I've done, I noticed if I'm hitting 75 to 80 mph, the mpg drops a fair amount. If I keep around 65 or below and don't rush to the next light, the mpgs are more than fair. My daily work commute, I do hit light traffic for most of the time. Keeping me below 70 mph. Plus, I'll keep a couple car lengths in front of me to allow for some coasting.

Trust me, I'm not a "hyper mileage" Prius owner wanna be. Just challenging myself to see I can get. Lol

That 3yr 36,000 mile warranty on mine will be gone before I know it. Got my truck October 2nd and I'm sitting right around 19,900 miles. Gotta say tho, I've loved every mile I've put on this truck. Took a road trip from houston to denver and drove all over the rockies. Handled it like a champ. Loved playing in the snow!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
