Big Buck in the back of my Silverado

I had to post up some pictures of my success on opening day of the gun hunt in WI.

I got a doe right after sun up. So I was already relaxed. Then after lunch this buck came running out of the woods. I only had seconds to get a shot off, I can't believe I knocked it down with one shot.

Its a nice 10 pointer, but one tine is broken off. There's a little nub coming off the brow tine so it's almost an 11 pointer. I haven't spent any time measuring yet.

Definitely the biggest buck I've ever shot or even seen live in my 20+ seasons hunting. Weighed in at 153 lbs dressed.

Good luck to all the others out there, and be safe!

I'll be bow hunting up in Iron County at the end of the month, same some bucks for me!

Up there you have to worry about the wolves more than me. My buck tag is already filled.

Down here its coyotes killing off the little guys, no chance to grow. This will be my first time hunting WI, let alone way up north.  Not getting my hopes too high.  Would be happy with a doe for the freezer, would be ecstatic with a buck. 

 

Truck looks good with all those deer stacked up.

Funny you mention coyotes. A pair came running across the field saturday morning, the neighbor shot and hit one, then I hit the second one. So we reduced the population by 2 this weekend.

I'm not into hunting (AKA dipping/drinking coffee & freezin my ass off in the early morning in the woods :D) but way too many around & we need population control so glad you are helping out lol! Nice examples.

 

I see the plow - I thought there weren't really options for plows on our trucks for some reason I thought CC trucks weren't rated for a plow?? How does it do & how much was the setup if you don't mind me asking? Do you get a lot of front end sag w/ the added weight? These trucks are so low from the factory but I have mine lifted about 3" in total between level/tires so that would help

yeah, it works fine for plowing. The CC cannot have the "plow prep" package from the factory. but it still has the same 3950 Lb front axle as the WT, so it will hold up any plow made for half ton trucks. The only real negative is the long turning radius. But it works fine for my driveway.

My setup was just about $5,000 installed at a shop. This truck sags suprisingly little. I measured it stock at just under 1" drop when the plow raised, but then I put Timbrens on the front and that cut the sag to about 1/2"

I need a quiet way of killing the rabbits in my area.  Rural neighborhood but neighbors are animal rights yahoos and even though the rabbit population is very unhealthy and very few coyotes to hunt them, they still think having 10 rabbits destroy my lawn is acceptable.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
