the net has been great, I only knew the 350 as rare until the worst versions they ever made.

70s-80s.

 

I have pulverized a few into chunks.

 

they almost recovered with the L31.

 

but no. they didn't. :)

 

funny as hell, the real path of gm stuff.

 

the 305 is in the top 3 of the entire planet of all time.

I guess it splits the real workers from the fairy tales.

Now just +.3 liters away has been the world renowned workhorse for everyone for 15 years.

 

kinda like some of dodge's big motors. Some think they are all good.

 

I am glad kids don't have to live and learn this stuff anymore.

I guess I'm reading Barry G right. The small block from 265-400 small block was the best ever made. I've had dozens of them real work horses, especially if you consider the early ones had to run with carburetors and points. The one I have now is 25 years old has been stroked half its life and blown all its life. Same thing with the dodge big blocks, ford 302, my brother been racing a 440 for 20 years just refreshed it. I guess some people have trouble with simple engines.

All during my school days the 327 was the King of the Hill in the small block world. Enter the LT1 and the world made a half turn backward first time someone dropped the hammer on one.

 

Then 1972 happened. For awhile crate motor sales were off the hook. A legend was born in those first 370ph/350's. It would take nearly three decades for the SBC to recover from the smog years. To much asked to soon from people that didn't know how yet by people that should have known better then. We are going to repeat that with mandated fuel numbers. Sorry Barry, kids will have to learn it again...and again...and again. :banghead:

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
