Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.
It's what "Purchasing Power" means.
I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.
It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.
fact /făkt/
noun
Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.
"an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy."
Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed.
"Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact."

If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.
One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.
Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:
AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D
Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D
Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30
Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40.
Mobil Delvac 5w40
Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.
There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
Hello Guys I'm new to the form,
I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.
Thanks!!!!!
RIP - Chevy 5.3
