I got moved into the dorms. Got the internet set up. I hate dial up connections. They have cable and dsl here, but they both cost around $50 a month. Im not the rich. I am finishing up my 2nd week in the first 6 week phase. Its pretty cool out here. So, far I have spent 3 days on electric systems, starting and charging systems. So, things are being cramed into my head at a fast pace.

 

But, If you all expect m to read all the post from the past 2 weeks you have to be crazy. It took me 10 minutes just to pull up the front page. Things are faster now, that all the downlaods I was doing are done. But, its still slower the chit.

 

As for the last post I made on the 30th, I think. I really dont remember posting that. I guess 3 days with out sleep and a lot of beer made me forget things ;) I checked the site right before I left Kansas City and saw it. I deleted the post when I saw it, so it aint there no more. So, thats the reason behind that.

 

Talk to you all later. I'll be able to check in only once a day, so I wont be here as often as I used to be.

Somethings better than nothing :thumbs:

 

Glad to have you back with us and it's good to hear that school isn't kicking your butt yet.  My cousin went to the same school for a sememster, but had to come back for family reasons.  He said it was a lot of work, but you learn a lot.

Hey Paul!

  Seems like a lot of us have been returning to the clubhouse this week.  Now if we could just find Newbie, we could get the band back together!

 Forgive my memory, but weren't you coming to Wyoming for school?  Either way, enjoy the luxerious accomodations that only dorm-life can provide!

Dig, yeah your right. Im going to Wyotech in Laramie.

I'm a couple of hours northwest of you in Lander.  If you ever pass through here on a trip to Jackson or Yellowstone or just want to come up and test drive some trucks one day, let me know.  Hope you enjoy living in the Windy City, (you'll get that joke eventually) -

I already got it. Almost had to tie my self to the truck so I wouldnt get blow away by the wind.

 

 

Jeff, no tickets, yet. I did about 80 all the way here and only saw one cop. He was busy with some lady who rolled her Tahoe on the side of the highway by the Mo/Iowa border.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
