Can you explain what makes them morons ? I love their channel and no real bias seems to be going on. They test their trucks in Colorado so the turbo motors always do best but to call them morons because gm didn’t win ?
This is my opinion dude. The guy that does the trailering stuff is pretty good. But YouTube constantly puts these three guys in my feed and every time I watch their videos they are making asses of themselves and seemingly misinformed.

I skimmed through second video, but did notice that it was a “rule” that they all launch in 2 wd. 

The only truck that really seemed to hinder was the ecoboost. It would've killed everyone else if it could have done a brake boosted 4auto launch. Lol.

A guy at work has a ZL1 Camaro with the 10 speed, he likes how it shifts, but says a lot of ZL1 guys say the 10 speed has a lot of torque management.  

 

I wonder why the ZR1 Vette us use an 8 speed?

The 10 spd wont fit in the C7.

Lol maybe, but I have not seen a 8 speed Silverado with the clunk yet.   There is supposedly a new fluid coming out that is supposed to fix the 8 speed woes.   I started a thread about it a couple days ago.

My gmc 6.2 8 speed shifts like butter. I have a 16 escape 2.0 turbo and that thing will beat them all. I raced a 2015 dodge 5.7 from a light to 60 and spanked him. The one thing i now love about my GMC is driving around in tow/haul mode. Feels like a whole different truck.

something's not right unless the 6.2 was loaded down or towing. the 0-60 time of the 2.0 turbo in the escape is 7.1 seconds, the 0-60 time on the 6.2 is 5.7 with the 8 speed

There is a lot of fail in this video.  First of all, none of these guys know what they are doing, total unknowing about how to race anything.  I really like their videos and they do what they can to make things close, but there are many variables they can't control. 

 

One of the biggest problems with this video is that they are in CO waaaay above sea level.  The twin turbo f-150 one mostly because of the forced induction.  

 

Secondly, the electronics should have been set differently.  All the nanny controls freak out.

They dont go out of their way to choose to elevation to benefit the Ford. That's where they live and test  They are transparent and state it upfront every time. Any car guy knows that forced induction will have the edge over naturally aspirated as elevation increases.

 

So, setting the ecoboost aside, now what is your excuse for the 6.2's showing against the Titan?

In the video it beats the titan.

Barely edged it out. Certainly didnt look like a 66 lb ft of torque and couple hundred pound less advantage to me.

Forget the 6.2, Ecoboost or any other truck in the video above.

I will show up to the drag race in this! :smash:

The Corvette uses a torque tube and transaxle set up, the Camaro features a standard style transmission that bolts directly to the engine. The reason the Vette uses a transaxle is to distribute the weight more evenly throughout the car. With the C7 platform they managed to achieve a 49-51% weight split biasing the rear, which is a remarkable achievement for a front engine car with a large V8. Makes me wonder about the purpose of the mid-engine car a little. There is no transaxle version of the 10L90 as of yet.

      Joke Thread

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
