Yeah obviously lol, I just rented a $100k navigator in FL. And an $80k mercedes gls before that.

 

I clearly said nobody rents 6.2 pickups, why, because nobody rents a pickup unless they need to haul or tow something, and you don’t certainly don’t need a $50k msrp in a 1500 for that.

 

Thus the rental services do not offer them, thus what I said was accurate.

And I qualified my statement.  "I did not see any high end pickups..."
Further, you cannot tow with a rental from Hertz or any other traditional rental company.  It is specifically forbidden in the rental agreement.  U-Haul yes.

Thats fantastic, not sure what that has to do with you informing me that I was wrong and rental companies actually rent high end vehicles, when I never stated they didn’t.

 

clearly we have a case of you not using logic again

Half of the vehicles or more of the vehicles I’ve owned have been high performance vehicles. Half again used. All that matters is the price reflecting the value.

Im having a grand time reading all of this xD

 

Im happy to update, I got the tranny flush and filled and the tranny shop of course followed the TSB. I drove it to a far gas station to let her warm up and see how she handled. I have not noticed any shift which is fantastic!! Tranny sits at 153 Degrees and never climbed (Keep in mind im in texas as well and it was 100 Degrees outside when driving).

 

@TXGREEK - What a coincidence. I am greek as well and in TX xD

The L86 is the same block, valvetrain and bottom end as LT1, but LT1 gets different intake/exhaust manifolds and tune. And weren't all LT series engines hand assembled? Or was the reserved for special engines like LT3 and LT4?

New to the forum here and can somebody point me in the direction of this TSB for the tranny?

Use good oil & filters (right now I'm running amsoil 0~40 full synthetic and WIX- however there are other good combinations out there).

 

 

Im only seeing 0-20 on AMSOIL's for my truck, should I be okay with their lowest tier synthetic of that type? Its their OE series oil. I have never used AMSOIL before but I see great reviews

[elcamino]

Sure, its designed for those who follow the OLM and don't extended oil changes past OEM recommendations.

 

PS, I have used AMSOIL for 40 yrs. That have a distribution center in Arlington! 1 of 13 notionwide. They been producing synthetic oil since prior to 1972. Made in the USA, Superior, WIS.

Im assuming WIX oil filters are better than AMSOIL's own filter?

I was told Wix makes the Amsoil filter for them. There’s a YouTube video showing how they’re both identical in every way, same everything and both capture as small as 20 microns.



Wix makes filters
