You know what the cure is for your anxiety is don’t you? Bring it back here. There are choices right now, buy made in the USA. 

Why make the consumer pay for it? I’m past anxiety I’m just watching what we voted for.

Worked at a full service gas station in high school with 2 bays for repairs. Mechanical pumps, cheap oil in cardboard quarts and mostly cash sales. Gas rarely went over 30 cents a gallon for regular.

Now we are in my wheelhouse     Any refinery that can run sour crude can and does process sweet. Just can't do it as efficiently. Fact, no refinery in the USA processes ONLY sour crude. They

Again politics is not a subject for the site. It's specifically mentioned in the site rules. People are only going to argue.   Gas price listing are fine without all the political comment.

What Trump has done with these tariffs is basically put a tax on Americans. And by Canada and Mexico retaliating we are also now paying more. Reading this morning than China is planning to sue the USA for the increased tariff they now have.

 

As far as anything in the way of drugs and people coming from Canada Trump is pretty much lying to America. Other than a small portion of the Washington /BC border less than 1% of fentanyl and pre curser drugs are coming into US from Canada. And some south of Montreal into New York state. the vast majority, 66% of Fentanyl coming into US is coming via Mexico/China and the rest is directly from China itself. Canada in the last two months has basically spent 1.4 billion on drones helicopters and more police to patrol the US border  and are pretty much finding nothing.

 

I know a vast number of Americans do not know about our border, In fact very little about Canada at all.  You have to imagine this border, in most places were I live on the prairies it is not a lot different than watching a old cowboy movie. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba is pretty much bald ass prairie, bordering Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. So unless you can hide behind a blade of grass police are going to find you. or the wolves might. And unless you are going to swim the Great lakes most of Ontario is cut off. The problem areas are the west of British Columbia because it is forest and have long established smuggling routes between Seattle and Vancouver  (the east part is the Rocky Mountains), eastern Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick areas. Look at a map. These are basically streets, Yes streets. In a lot of areas of the US border with Quebec all the border is is a street. One side is Canada and one side is the US. IN some places the actual border goes along foundations of buildings. So if you are in your front yard you are in Canada and if you walk to the back yard you are in US. Absolutely crazy. For years there has been major smuggling across this area. Between Quebec and Vermont. Even things as simple as cigarettes because Quebec is one of the highest taxed areas of North America and Vermont is on of the lowest taxed areas of North America.  

 

In fact right now more people are trying to get into Canada to avoid being shipped out by Trump!  But even this is a very small percentage. Trump is saying this is about drugs but it is way more than that with Canada. He has this idea that Canada is taking advantage of the US because of the trade imbalance right now. But most of that trade imbalance is because the US is getting so much Oil from Canada. Over 60% right now. If you take oil out of the equation it is very close to even. 

 

I will not lie, Canada and Canadians are feeling very pissed this morning. That the USA could do this to one of there biggest trading partners and allies and friends and family my grandfather was from Oklahoma There are so many cases of Canadians with American family members. In Airdrie were I live there is actually a road call ed Yankee Valley. That is because in the 1920's many of the farms in the are were started by Americans coming to Canada. Everything from WW1, WW2, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya the Balkans, Canadians have fought beside Americans and died with Americans. On September 11th, we help shut down the skies over North America, We had fighter jets patrolling border areas with the US, We housed stranded Americans in our homes until they could go home when the borders opened again. More recently we sent crews to help clean up New Orleans from Katrina and this month we had water bombers fighting the fires in Los Angeles. Because that is what friends do for each other.   

I could easily answer this but. We’ve been told to cool it. We should do just that.

It is what it is, we just need to accept it and move on.  To many in the upper society tier corporate world are not going to do anything to lessen what is deposited in their bank accounts.

 

Currently $2.87 for regular here.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
