We are supposed to get 10" but so far I'd say weve gotten less than an inch and by the looks of that radar it's pretty much by me  :ehh:

We've got a few inches here already.  Took the truck out for some midnight fun.  Did a few donuts, then went out for a bite to eat and managed to do a powerslide in 4x4 and end up sideways between two curbs *whoops.  And this was a total accident.  Oh well, had some fun and then came home since I was almost out of gas.

What is this thing called "snow" you talk about?  I feel so deprived. I want snow!!!!  I wanna do donuts in snow and slide around trying my best not to kill myself in the snow.  I want snow!!! Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid desert.  The only thing covering the streets here is a couple of inches of dirt and sand.  :angry:  :angry:

We ended up getting something like 6", I think. Maybe a little more. What was cool is that there was actually a little wind to whip it around some and get a few little drifts going. We only got the really small, wimpy flakes, not the cool, big wet ones. We could have really had a nice blizzard going because it snowed all night and until afternoon yesterday and all we got was in the 6 inch range. Man, coulda been really fun. Must be because it was so cold this week.....sucked the moisture out of it, or something. I'm not a metorphalologistimus, or whatever, so I dunno........... :D

 

I'll have to head up into the mountains today and see what they got and play up there!!!!!!

 

 

If you guys turn your ears west-ward ( most of you guys) and hear what sounds like a Chevy 5.3 getting into the rev-limiter, it is probabaly just me getting stuck in the mountains somewhere.  ;)

 

Please don't send Newbie to rescue me :withstupid:

This damn snow thing is pissing me off.  They said 10-14" with very cold temps and high winds.  So last night I went out at 6:30 in the dark before the snow started and put the snowblower on the tractor, somewhat of a pain in the ass.  So far we are at 5-6" with it about 33 degrees, but the winds just kicked up, so I may be spending the afternoon trying to keep the lane open if it keeps up.  

 

But to this point, no such blizzard like the news channels keep saying, just a nice gentle snowfall.

I got the #### out of C-U for the weekend, so I'm home now.  We have 5" on the ground now, maybe 8" by the time this is over.  

 

I didn't know you were from IL, I split my time between C-U and home here by the Quad Cities.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
