First up, here is the helicopter we use to get to mountain tops to service rain guages. This is sitting on the top of Mt. Irish at around 8640ft. Landing area at this site is quite small, trees are only a couple yards from the rotor blades.

Can we go play in the Helo? That would be sweet!

Ha, I wish I could play in the helo. We only do the helicopter thing twice a year usually, to service our high-altitude rain-gauges. Cost to bloody much to do it more often. We use Sundance Helicopters (sure you have heard of them) to fly us around. They are the only local helicopter company approved by the Interior Department/Forest Service to do government contract work in our area.

 

I wish I had a little more camera skills like you do, wanted to get a few more better pics of the valley when we where heading back in from the Sheep Range, but we got caught up in the storm on Wed. and the helicopter was bouncing all over the place.

Looks like I will have to check out Mt. Potosi on the TOPO maps. Will have to look for a path up there. :D

Unfortunately there is a locked gate in the way. We use atvs to get to the top of Potosi (we have permission to go up, much of the Potosi area is privately owned because it is a Boy Scout camp). The road is nasty for a while, shreaded, rocky, and quite steep. If you look on the topo it is in the Spring Mtn Rec Area nr Goodsprings.

yeah man no need to be ugly. it's a picture post. put whatever you want.

 

To be honest I think it's cool that a gm-trucks.com guy has a ford as a company truck. Company vehicles sometimes have a rep for getting beaten. And several of us in here, if not most, would love nothing more than to beat up on a ford!! :mad::lol:

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
