Website is back up..


Recommended Posts

My website is back up guys. I canceled my host and had to move it temporarily.

I just traded my Silverado for a new 2001 2500HD! Had to take advantage of these finance rates!

 

-- GMC, Solid Black, Ext. Cab Short Bed, 8100, Allison Tranny, 4.10, Loaded..

 

I moved all of my mods from my Silverado including my custom leather seats!

 

I should have a new website up in a few days w/the new truck and same everything else. New link will be http://www.2500HD.cjb.net

With these finance rates I was able to get alot more truck for the same payment!  I also wanted the 4th door that my 2000 did not have.

how come you didn't get a z71 this time, your seats would match than.  

 

That was pretty sweet of the dealer letting you strip out all of your mods before you gave the truck back.

I would only use a 4wd like once a year here.  Like last week w/the 10" of snow we had.  

 

I would have spent the same amount on a 1/2 ton 4wd 5.3 that I spend on my 2500HD 8.1 w/the 5 speed Allison tranny.  In my opinion this a lot more truck for the $$.  It is the same hight my friends 4wd w/a 3" body lift.

Glad to see you made the move to a HD.  Now you can come down and visit us in the HD forum!   :D

I have posted and cruised around the HD forum.  Seems dead...  We need a joint forum for the trucks.  Maybe move the SUV's and AV's to their own.

    • Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).
    • Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.
    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood. 
    • This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
