I would like to say its been a wild ride and would also like to say i've enjoyed sitting back and reading threads and getting idea's from them on some of the members here. I for one...while sorta just drop in unexpectedly and give you fellow GM Enthusiast a drop of hints and outlooks on whats to come. So far i covered all the things that i said in the past to this day with how i told you fellas about diesel upgrades and an legend coming back and etc etc... while this day will be my last day that i'll ever jump back on the net as i been promoted to a higher rank!! but i thought to myself that since i wont be back i thought i would leave a few more hints, just "3". "1"You guys think Ford has a twin turbo diesel that will blow the DMax away while to some there impression will be (Hell yeah) while not quite, a prototype DMax is in the works and will be boosting more then what ford's twin turbo will be making. "2" Though a legend may have returned, another is about to be born and im not talking about the GTO! "3" I notice alot of people complaining about piston slap and what not. So this hint will give more confidence back to those who had bad luck with there GM truck. A new prototype (2) engine thats on the running mule will be replacing the old piston slap 5.3 and 8.1, two to say the least. one is for the half-tons and the other is a beast motor that will be in the HD Chevy/GMC Trucks. Thats all i can say, you can believe it or not but i've kept my word on the things i said in the past and they came true in YOUR very own eye's. It's been a blast and hope to come back soon in year's to come.

 

Have a Nice Day & God bless our troop's

When they promote you, they take away your computer????

 

Just because you can't post, doesn't mean you can't lurk!

 

Thanks for the info and I think if you log on at home and read or post, the GM Guys in black suits and ties won't take you away will they??

 

Best of luck with the promotion!!!!!!!!

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
