One of my really good friends is moving to Florida early next month and since I quit my job and really have nothing better to do with my time I'm going to help him move his stuff down there.  The way down we're just stopping overnight, but on the way back it'll just be me in the truck.  So, does anyone live between WI and Florida that wants to get together or something?  I'm not sure exactly what the dates will be.  So, just let me know if you live down there and want to do something.

 

I'll be staying in the Tampa area I do believe and from what I hear he's got some sweet apartment there that's right on the ocean.

 

I'll bring the camera and take plenty of pics.

Ryan, I'm not sure on what route I'm taking down, but that will be driving halfway, staying at a motel for the night, and then driving the rest of the way.  On the way back though I can take my time and pretty much go whatever way I want to go.

Friz, sounds good.  I'll be down there for a few days and I'm not sure what the agenda will be since as far as I know I'm not in any kind of a hurry to head back home.  I've got to milk that free room and board as long as I can :D.  I should have computer access while I'm there and I want to get my cell phone plan changed up to a no-roaming thing.  So, I'll drop you a PM w/ my number and I'll let you know some more details on it.

 

Next time I talk to my buddy I'll see exactly where we are stopping for the night on the way there since I'll probably do the same on the way back, unless I make it another day drive to have a night on the town w/ some of you.

fishing ehhh....  I really wish I had enough money to just bum around all summer, but I figure I'll be desperate for a job in a month.  This whole waking up at noon everyday and staying out all night is fun, but I'm sure I'll be getting sick of it really quick.

I know PA is out of the way, but if you want a beautiful drive up through the Appalachians on the way home, then come home through WV and stop by here as you get on I-80 West to go home...

 

I'm at the junction of I-79 and I 80 in Western PA...

 

Heck...  anyone that is coming through can give me a holler and I'll have a beer with you...

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
