Me too after Tuesdays election. What’s really cool. Gas prices will go down, fighting will stop. And I won’t get taxed on unrealized capital gains. I couldn’t be happier.

Unless you made over $100M you weren't going to be taxed on unrealized gains anyway. Not that it would ever have passed.

I believe that all of the stressing about tariffs is a little premature and that the hysteria is fueled by people opposed to the President elect. The man is a master of negotiating and is likely playi

If you paid attention it’s about fair trade not automatic tariffs. As far an electric or emissions. The mandates will be eased up so technology can catch up. The new administration isn’t against elect

Cmon guys, this was a decent discussion until the insults started. @brad bill That was uncalled for. 

Kinda curious what you think was uncalled for. Everything he said was true.

Being a  electrical lineman, what looked good on paper/the computer, to those like an  engineer,, often times didnt always work in the real world. My line world, of having to build it, maintain it, put it back together after a storm, working on things hot looks a lot easier on paper than in the real world. 

 

 

Take a simple thing like ( delta ) what you first think of when reading it, is not the same as myself. 

 

Comparing being a lineman to an electrical engineer? That's rich!

I world NEVER compare a lineman to an inganear. 

 

You seem to only see what you want to, not the truth... 

 

What is needed more in todays wet dream of forcing electric on everyone. Electrical inganeers, or lineman to do the work?

The US had the lowest inflation coming out of Covid of ANY of the G7 countries. It was a world wide  issue but go ahead and blame it one one person since it suits your politics rather than facts.

Very impressive, explain why everyone else is pleased to see that admin go..........well except for the "select" groups  LMAO

Actually it was if your net worth was more than 100 million not what you make every year.  Just an FYI from a guy that can read but only a quick 4 year degree.

I don't operate a train either🤣

I am the CTO and CFO of a tech firm. My wealth has increased 5X to what it was from my previous 45 years of life for the last 3 years.

 

Yes...my own eyes! If you are in tech, you have seen the greatest expansion of wealth in the last 3 years in history. If you haven't, you either in a low paying nontech job or you didn't get a college education.

It’s not all about you there, chief. Do you have kids? Speaking of kids, are you okay with a mentally unstable man sharing the restroom with your daughter? 
it’s about the country as a whole. Not just one individual.

The 10% blend with Ethanol and gas is a net positive from everything I have read, octane and mileage. 

I run 15% ETOH in everything I own that has a sealed fuel system. Yes carbureted engines too. If the fuel system is open to atmosphere then no.

You were the one that was stating looking at through your own eyes. I am not the only one that sees that either. Be blind if you want.

Hot off the press. 312/226. So much for razor thin. I don’t know what’s funnier, the razor thin talk or the “get this once and never get that” talk. Talk about blind.

Of course you wouldn't. A lineman is a low paying low skilled job.

A couple things. 

1, please fill out your information, do you even have a GM you must be in one of those states, by your political posts, so why not be proud of it and post your location. 

 

2, And wrong again. One reason inganeers hated linemen, is we made more money than them. I retired going on 8 years ago at age 53 with 32 years working being a lineman. I have yet to meet an inganeer that retired the same.

Stand between 34,500 volts and change a 3 phase pole with a 3 phase buck over and not blow your head of and tell me im unskilled. 

 

3, I know what an inganeer knows, just dont need to use the fancy wording to explain or talk about it. BUT, i can build it and maintain it without an inganeer or management. 

   I can explain power factor to someone off the street and they will understand it, done it many times. 

 

Do you have any idea, what it takes to add more power to a street, let alone a country mandated to go electric. 

   Are you skilled in running larger wire to be converted to a higher voltage alongside hot wires, because it cant be shut off to add power because the load/demand has grown??? Then remove the old wire and equipment, all hot not blowing your head off? 

 

What are you skilled at?? There is absolutely no information other than you limited post count. That seems to be politically driven and the rest shooting from the hip.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
