"You don't have to agree with everybody and everybody doesn't have to agree with you"

 

AFTER 2+ YEARS, THE 🤡 FINALLY AGREES WITH US!

 

 

Note from mod: (Can't use the "R"word". That's one that is frowned on)

Not sure how to take what you said. Not a matter of agree/disagree. I  mostly don't read much of the political stuff on here. I hear it other places, so don't need another dose. Pretty predictable what some will post because their beliefs don't change. You're not going to convince anyone on here to change their minds.  Each side views things through their own experiences. What some keyboard warrior types probably won't make a difference. Now someone might learn a thing or two as they move forward

 

You don't see me posting every time on political or religion topics, I really don't want to spend the time. :)

 

Posts aren't moderated on agree/disagree basis. I really don't care what your opinions are on politics. I only care that this place doesn't melt down and become unusable. Free speech really doesn't exist here per say. Site Guidelines clearly state: " All posts, topics, and uploads become property of GM-Trucks.com and/or Silikhan Publishing Group, LLC.  Posts may be deleted for any reasons the forum administrators deem reasonable." Posts are moderated based on what the site guidelines say.

 

If you want a free-for-all, just hit up Facebook. It's a lovely place for BS. Personally I only view reels of cats and stupid people doing stupid things

 

I mentioned this maybe in this thread or the Peckish thread, posts generally get removed because a thread gets hijacked off it's intended subject. Now that might not bother you, but some people are bothered, especially when you ruin some guy's thread on why is his truck broken.

 

Now this is off topic section, thread is supposed to be about humor. I get messages wondering why the thread is now another subject. Fortunately the worst for having very poor attitudes don't come around anymore. At least they're not here to do personal attacks on members.

 

Well, I've rambled on, have said probably nothing. Time for cats on Facebook or maybe Youtube  😆

Travis Kelce, a professional football player invited his girlfriend, Taylor Swift to watch him play in last year super bowl. She had great seats, right behind her boyfriend's team bench.
After the game, he asked her how she liked it. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "Especially the colorful uniforms and all the big muscles, but I couldn't understand why they were killing each other over .25¢ cents?"
Dumbfounded, her boyfriend asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game all they kept screaming was... 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like hello, it's only 25 cents!”

A homeless guy asked me for money today,
so I looked in my pocket for change, but all I had on me was a $100 bill. I thought to myself 
"Do I really want this $100 going towards alcohol, gambling and wild women?...Nope, not today!!" So I gave him the $100.

    • On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
    • I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.
    • I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it. 
    • Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.
    • That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
