NASCAR is back, it's something new to watch, and it's always fun cheering on your favorite driver.  Coca-Cola 600 is on today and should make for a good 4-5 hours of entertainment.  I'm hoping for Chase Elliot to get his first win this season, but I'll settle for him wrecking Kyle Busch.  My son is a Joey Logano fan, still can't figure out why.  

 

Any other NASCAR fans out there, speak up.  Let us know who you're a fan of, who you wouldn't mind seeing in last place, and anything else NASCAR related.  Let the banter begin!

I couldn’t agree more on the word. There’s lots of words I find offensive. I hear offensive words daily. I refrain from using offensive words. The problem is people who claims such words are offensive

Never ever forget that the 48 (JJ) has done something we'll never see again: win FIVE Cup championships in a row.  Still unbelieveable!

I'm thinking if Chase is even close to Busch in the truck race he's dumping him.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!  Got that bounty!

That was a good race.  I think Busch knew that if he tried to pass Chase he was getting spun out.  I'm liking this new schedule that NASCAR has.  Another race tonight in Charlotte.  2 races per week at the same track.  Can we get this next year also?  I think it would be awesome to have the Coke 600 on Sunday, and then get the Roval a few days later.

Martinsville at night was a cool race. Penske team is looking real strong. Would have liked to see Chase finish better, but he still had a good showing.

 

On a side note Bubba Wallace had a great paint scheme and would have liked to see him in victory lane with it.

Solid race last night. I just based on green flag passes for the lead and we had those so that makes it a good race in my books. Agreed that Penske is looking strong. I think jimmie is going to get a win here pretty soon. He is startng to put together good races again.  

Also, I am a Corey lagoie fan. I like his podcast Sunday money. After all the trash talking from Denny Hamlin, it was great to see him pass him and then trap him a lap down so that he couldn't take the waive around when Corey stayed out

I can only shake my head at what NASCAR has done the last couple days.... Disgusting! 

 

Bubba also had a great chance to fix their mistake this morning and instead looks to have doubled down on it.

Everything is PC and quick draw these days. I’ve seen loops like that on many pull downs. Maybe the knot was offensive? Maybe NASCAR has changed a lot. I’m older I try not to be resistant to change. There’s things in NASCAR that bug me. I don’t watch pre race anymore. I’m more pissed at baseball at the moment. I have to pay extra to get local games. Add to that the nonsense this season. I may drop the package when I renew my contract.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
