I have somewhere around 13 warts on my hands. I used some Dr. Sholes (sp?) wart remover on them once and they went away but came back in about 2 months. So how do I get rid of these thing so that they don't come back. I got some of the Compound W freeze off stuff and now everybody tells me that that is not going to work, after I threw down $25 for it. :lol:

 

So whats the secret? I used to cut them out, but I would bleed like a stuck pig and they just kept coming back. I was told to start eating almonds everyday because they kill the bacteria. :D:banghead:

Dood....get some compound W from the drug store....don't cut em off...making them bleed will just spread them. Don't get the compund W freeze stuff...get the old fashion liquid stuff...you put it on the wart....let it dry and cover it up with a band-aid.....it'll burn those bad boys off.

:lol: I had a few plantars' (sp?) warts on my left hand a few years ago, and when they dried up from the Compound W gel and started to crack open, I went in there with a tweezers, a rubber band to hold the tweezers closed on the core, and a scalpel from my HS biology kit and cut the core out. :banghead:

Minimal blood loss (think paper cut being squeezed) and they've been gone ever since. :D

Go to the skin doctor (dermatologist i think its spelled) and he will either freeze them off with nirogen (some what painful but you can walk it off) or he will use a laser (painless i have heard). Either way, 13 warts aint really a fight you can win with weapons from eckards. I had 1 on my hand once and Id just cut (deep!!) it off after a shower, but it came coming back, 1 day it never came back.... But 13, dont fight it yourself!!! Respectivly!!

:banghead: Going back on it, maybe I would have been better off going to a dermatologist, huh? :banghead:

 

On a scale of 1 (being near-painless) to 10 (kill me now), this was a 3. And I have a somewhat low threshold for pain the way it is.

I had one frozen off before. Didn't hurt and it was gone in a few days, but I just don't want to go to the doctor. I have to check to see if my insurance covers it and I think I don't like doctors or something. :lol: It's weird cause they used to not bother me. :D

 

BTW: I recounted in some good light and found 15.

I know all about those warnings. It's about as dangerous as a can of pressurized butane.

 

I mentioned it because I know the guy who asked for help was capable of reading the instructions and using it safely.

I like the grill idea.....make sure you take pics :seeya:

 

Not to be gross....you better be careful when you take a leak....I read in maxim this month that if you got one of those bad boys open, you can spread them to places you really don't want them..LOL....try explaining that to your better half...LMAO

Yeah I had already thought about that! :confused: Thankfully they are not on my index finger and the one on my thumb is pretty far back, but I'm being carefull anyway.

 

Would that still be genital warts? :seeya:

all that stuff would work well, but get this, i had 27 of them on my feet... and i used to cut a few to try and get rid of them, but that made it worse. and i had two on my fingers..i came across this stuff called Salisiclyic Acid. its a liquid u put on ur affected areas, leave it to dry, cover with band aid. reaply next day or do it 2x a day. after about 2 weeks, its all gone. literally, back to normal skin! now i did this only on one finger/one wart... a few weeks later, all my others ones were gone!!! i didn't even realize it. but suffered with that crap for 4 yrs!!! that was about 3 yrs ago now...and im stil clean...soo take it from me, that acid stuff works!

just my .02...

 

P.S yes...this does bring back ugly memories...

      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.

      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.
