You and me both! I was also there inhaling sand, but having fun as well. Thanks to all who have served to keep this country the greatest in the world! Sorry, but I don't have a pic on my computer. It's probably a good thing since it would probably melt down the server.

I agree that we ALL NEED to thank those who served and are servingfor our freedom to do the things we all take for granted. I am d**n PROUD to say I have two younger brothers in the United States Marine Corps. d**n PROUD! They are over there in Afganastan and Iraq, kicking ass and saving our asses. To all of the soldiers out there, THANK YOU! I for one DO appreciate the freedoms we have today. And I have nothing but respect for anyone who served in our military forces. They should have a free ticket as long as they live. It's the least we could do. They risk their's so we could sit on ours. GOD BLESS THE SOLDIERS!!!

Well, here's me, on the right loading AGM-88 HARM's (High-speed Anti Radiation Missiles) on one of our F-16's. :D Spent from Aug 11, 1990 until March 13, 1991 in the sand box during Desert Shield/Storm, and numerous return trips since. More bomb loading pics here.

Proud member of the Air Force here from 1982 - 2003. Yes, did 21 1/2 years as a cop and then communications engineer. Saw lots of things and did a whole lot more that the family will never know about. It was all worth it though, even the combat tours for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Being gone for at least 6 months a year for the last 10 years of my career was hard on the family but we made it through. So much also say a special thanks to the family members who stand there with the military member as well.

 

Finally thanks to all of you for the kind words. For those who also served I salute you.

 

Have a great truckin day.

I've never served, but have lots of American pride. Thanks to all, past & present, and your families that have given so much to protect our freedoms and rights.

 

God Bless!

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
