That 00 sure took a hit, you could tell he was out of, I was getting a little worried they would be pulling him. All and all it was a good race.

 

Have a good night guys. :banghead:

Harvick was going to get him...dang flat tire! Sure made the wife happy tho! She's still upset over Marks loss at Daytona. Next race, Vegas in 2 weeks...New track! Should be a good race. I'm looking forward to Bristol and the first race for the Car of Tomorrow...thats going to be one to watch!

 

Who's you favorite Lisa?

That's why NASCAR needs to be consistent on racing back to the line and hire trained TRAVELING safety crews, anything less is unacceptable. Someone will get burned badly before something is enacted, and that's a shame. Earnhardt had to die to install safer barriers and hanns devises, was his death for nothing?

I wasn't too dissapointed with the flat tire myself.

 

I wish there was one of Fox's cameras locked on the #00 to get the outside view of the actual impact and airtime. I'm glad Reutiman made it out ok, which is most important. :banghead:

O.K., I cheered about the flat tire..........but don't tell anybody.

 

Gave20...I think that hit 00 took would have been a whole lot worse if it weren't for Dale Earnhardt, I believe he should be thanking Dale right now for making it safer.

 

Well Eyeball, I have my favorites, one in particular, but must admit I have a soft spot for a few drivers. Ever since I told the boys at work who my favorite is they just won't let me be, although there are a few that agree with me. I have little diecasts of "his" cars at work, I find them flipped over, stick people falling out and, well, you get the picture. I'm NOT telling :banghead:

 

Did you guys check out the website I posted about a cool website for 2007 Silverado???? It's awesome!

It would have been a little exciting if Harvick was there at the end, Nobody else could keep up with Kenseth.

 

Otherwise I thought the race was a snoozer. I miss Rockingham, now that was racing! (and I'm in California)

I've always thought the california races were boring, The track is pretty much cloned from michigan, and mighigan is another downer.

 

I'm not too optimistic for Vegas. The track record for new tracks, and repaving isn't that great.

 

I'm betting it's either gonna be one lane racing, or a caution flag fest reminecent of the 2005 Coke 600 thast took 2 hours more than it should've.

I was there!!!!!!!!! And yes, it was long and boring. That night it became the longest cup race in history and it also had the most caution flags in history. I think there was a race last year that surpassed the caution flag record.... but man what a long race!!!

 

I'll be back this year though :thumbs:

Vegas should be similar to racing to Homestead which isn't that bad. If I remember right Vegas is going to be progressively banked like Homestead is.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is: First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees

      OCI, not when but why?

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.
