I based my conclusion on the optimistic dyno on the fact I’ve seen a ton of dynos on 6.2 trucks and they don’t dyno as high as the 5star videos. That company is a bit shady from what I’ve read on power numbers. It looks good on paper for their customer base though. That’s all I’ll say on it. 
 

 

 

Yes, and I'm basing my conclusions on the fact that there can't be that much difference measured as drive drain loss (power at the wheel) in one truck vs the other. There is not a chance that the 7.3 is putting down the same HP and only 7 lb/ft of torque extra at the wheel.

 

You cannot compare any "at the wheel" dyno numbers from either truck unless both trucks are using the same gas from the same pump and tested at the same time/day at the same place on the same dyno. Anything is just picking whatever we want to see.

 

I watched another few reviews a few weeks back by a mechanic who tested both 7.3 and 6.6 (different days) but pulling the same trailer, and IIRC he made it quite clear the 7.3 felt noticeably stronger. I will try and find them back in the next few days.

Well that's one subscription I just removed from youtube.  I really did like their stuff, I had no idea they were that pissy.  Maybe I should send them a case of Bud Light, perhaps they will enjoy tha

TFL responds to the video take down at 20:00 min mark. Sounds like they tried to be cool with it, but here some of you are with the pitch forks before hearing both sides. Typical.

 

I bought an Ike Gauntlet hoodie a few years back. I like the channel and wanted to support it. It's no different than Disney or Nintendo trying to protect their IP and if Romans story is to be believed, they did it in a lot cooler way than the big corps of this world would have.

 

 

But, yeah, F them for going after some rando copy cat trying to make money just like them right?

Except its just Roman being Roman making excuses. Did they leave a comment in his YT channel asking him to contact them? Something like "please refrain from using 'ike gauntlet' as that phrase is copyright by TFL, contact [email protected] for more information".

 

They most certainly got the videos taken down. That's what YT does when you complain to them. No, Roman doesn't actually flip a switch anywhere and make his video go poof, but YT does that when you go through the process of bitching about copyright.

I do see where you are coming from and you make a great point.  BUT....and here's where I have a problem with them and that is they copyright a saying like the Ike Gauntlet.....I call my truck the beast, black beauty, should I copyright that and tell everyone that if they call their black truck any of those names to stop it?  To me it's just ridiculous.  I just did a quick google search on your username here on this site.  I'm not sure if any of them copyrighted that name, but you are guilty of using a screen name that represents quite a few companies out there.  Would it be unfair if they contacted you and told you that you can't use that screen name anymore?

It’s a trademark, not copyright. And no, you wouldn’t just be able to register a trademark for beast, black beauty, etc. because yours is a non-commercial use. Same thing with the screen name, not trademark eligible because it’s a non-commercial use. Trademarks provide protection against words and phrases that have become associated with a commercial provider of a good or service. 
 

The Ike gauntlet trademark is registered for the purpose of providing online information and reviews relating to motor vehicles. This guy used it in his videos for that exact purpose to generate revenue from his video series. So he was legally in the wrong here. Now whether the court of public opinion feels the same was is a different story….

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
