Another mile stone in the life of a web site, 300 people have registered here and a bunch have been visitors.  I would like to be the first to say thanks to Merv's and all of his moderators for such a good board.  I know that in the big picture 300 people who like, and are willing to share what they know is not a lot but good information and people that I would like to have close by to maybe see. If we lived in the same town we would be friends because of what we have in common.  This site will go far as long as the people here continue to be friendly and have open minds to discuss their problems and to brag just a little every now and then about how great their GM Truck is.

You are so right doverarjim!!! If it stays friendly and the flames are few and far between (necessary at times) this will be an excellent site. Mervz, you're doing a great job!!council.gif

All you guys are hitting the nail on the head. I love this site and cannot wait to get my forum decal to put on the new Z. Just one question would a GM-Trucks.com decal be a mod or accessory???:)

It's a mod.

General Lee 01 did the mathe and claims it should add 10 rwhp. :biggrin:

Also thanks to Tom and General and eveyone else who chips in for us new guys!!!

 

No problem NewbieZ71.  I like to help people, I just wish I could do more of it.  

This site is great!  It seems like it's really starting to get a lot of new members at a pretty fast rate now.  The bigger the better!  It's been mentioned before, but I like the maturity level here.  

By the way, I like to welcome all the new people to the site, but there has been so many lately, I know I've missed a few.  It wasn't intentional so, Welcome Everyone!

Even though I'm not a GM truck owner yet, emphasis on YET, I'm glad I was pointed in this direction.  You guys have already given me some good leads that should save time, $$$ and headaches once the new wheels are in the driveway.

Thanks, Guys!

I think General is right.  I just put the decal on my truck the other day, and I can't seem to keep the rear end straight!!:biggrin:  Captain Countersteeeeer!!!!  (say like Captain Cavemaaaaaan!!!!)

      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 ?.

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
