Man I am watching the Mikey Bike build. Pretty cool show but sho is this new guy? I forget his title but all he does is rant and rave. Why arent you doing this why arent you doing that. If I was Mikey i would let him have it. He is the owners son who is he to talk like that to the guys. He is a real A-Hole. I have never disliked this show until he appeared. I actually want to turn it off and never watch again.

I don't like the guy too much myself, but believe it or not, Paul Sr. hired him to be an A-hole. For when Paul Sr. Is on vacations and such and can't be the A-hole. :D

He's the Director of Operations. I dont get to watch American Chopper that much. But, with this guy on there, I dont really want to watch it at all. He's a different type of a-hole, then Paul Sr. is. Paul Sr. is a a-hole to get people to work and get done what needs to be done. This guy is just an all out a-hole.

 

Like on tonights show, when he locked the keys to the trailer inside the trailer. He gets pissed and starts yelling at everyone for his F-up. Then he blams it on some other guy because he put all the keys on one key ring. Then has Mikey call him and wake him up. All because he put the keys on one key ring and his dumba-- locks them in the trailer. Sorry, but if I were the guy that got called, when that Dic. of Ops. got back. I'ld knock him upside the head with a 2x4.

I dont see Paul Sr as an A-Hole. Hes funny because when he gets mad I think hes faking it sometimes. This guy just doesnt have a clue like when they were on the computer designing the handle bars and he was like I want something done on the bike. WELL DUH if you had a clue you would know that the last thing needed to be done was the handle bars.

I've been bummed that I have missed the show so much lately, but after hearing all this I'm kind of glad I have.

I think the guys name is Keith, that last episode sucked compared to the other ones, hopefully the next new ones are better.

I agree with everyone the guys a prick but Mickey doesn't do anything. If he worked for anyone else he'd be gone the next day. the show was alot better when the bike builds took longer and more detailed pieces were added, like the apache bike. Now its move them through in a hurry, the trickest thing anymore is the paint.

 

the show is getting to be like american hotrod: "We're going to build a car in 10hrs." After watching that show I wouldn't be to quick to buy a Coddington, way to sloppy.

Dont get me started on Boyd. I cant stand him either. Especially after that one guy went snow boarding and got hurt. They were harsh on him. What you cant do anything on the side fun? All work no play? I play softball a few times a wk and I play hard (play hard or dont play at all is my motto). If my boss ever got mad at me for an injury man o man.

The power of the interweb is very strong. We should get him fired. :D I can't stand that guy, especialy since he bitched at Mikey like that. Mikey is cool, you don't talk to him like that.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By davester · Posted

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
