If you believe in god thats your right. But the pushing of this belief on others is what I disagree with. You live in your world and let me live in mine.

 

If you are addressing this comment to me, nobody is pushing you.

 

Think of me as the guy standing on the side of the road trying to wave you down because the bridge is out in front of you.  You can stop and head my warning or keep going.

This is nonsensical thinking man.  Just as crazy as saying nothing exploded and created everything and that the law of entropy doesn't apply to creation.  Man loves darkness more than light.

 

 

False. Nonsensical thinking is believing Sky Daddy gave up his weekend for your "sins" and now you owe it something which it doesn't deserve. But it will apparently smite you if you don't give it up. Huh.

 

I can't make this stuff up...people really believe this.

Didn't matter, Harris said she wouldn't do anything different than Biden, on the foreign policy front either one of them had me scared shytless that nukes would be flying in the middle east that could lead to world wide conflict if either one of them had been elected. For an ex-military man your lack of acumen outside of your mountaintop bubble is truly amazing.

 

Yeah but what the hell just happened yesterday? Clapping, gifts, red carpets, and what kinda looked like a car beej. Must have sucked because lunch was cancelled after that.

 

Played like a Playskool Xylophone. Bing bong boop.

Totally shameful by any measure.  The POTUS is totally outclassed and out smarted by the commie POS creeper. Our WWII vets are spinning at turbine speeds in their graves.

James, I applaud your reasonableness, but sir, the problem with rational ideas are they are only accepted by rational people. 2 Corinthians 2:3,4 (You will understand the reference.) 

 

As well meaning and as on point at the above comment is (wish I had thought of it)... Might I suggest Prov 26:4? :) 

 

Now about them Cubs! Nine games behind. A bit late for the "June Swoon). 😬

To put a period on this thread. I heard rather briefly that George Strait put on a benefit concert for flood victims. The money was handed directly to the most affected with 65k checks. I learned strangely enough from the fat electrician on YouTube. That HEB  provides emergency relief during  natural disasters in Texas. Pretty impressive. The guys a blast, but for the language.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
