But, have the many forums found answers to the good questions?

It is all relative, as in the comparison of the Australian Kestrel and the Madagascar Sparrowhawk

(both birds of prey, which would just a soon eat a piddly little mouse as they would a big happy bunny rabbit)

 

Ya understand what I'm tryin' to say here?

Sure.....

 

Bird eats mouse, another bird eats the Bunny Rabbit (sorry, no Easter this year :driving: )

Kinda like a member here asks a question, and another member answers it.

 

I probably should have compared it more to the African Lion (Panthera leo) and the African Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) In that the lion often is the one to initiate the kill (ask a question) and the Hyena usually ends up with it (answers the question)

 

Maybe that makes more sense now?

And if so, maybe someone could explain it to me then :thumbs:

 

Oh, yeah, and welcome to the forums Denny. Watch out for some of the crazy Hyena's that hang around here !! LOL

What if it is an African Swallow instead of an Australian Kestrel?

I don't think the African Swallow (Petrochelidon spilodera) would have much luck in trying to eat a mouse or rabbit. But it can fly up to 38mph, on an empty stomach.

 

How much bigger is the African Gulp then the African Swallow?

That all depends on if ya order it super-sized or not.

 

How many of the African Gulp are still alive today? And the African Swallow?

The amount of African Gulps is all dependent on how many 7-11's are in Africa at a given time.

As for the African Swallow, there are only about 89 known pairs, and it is classified as Critically Endangered.

That's another reason not to get it involved in anything to do with an Australian Kestrel.

The Kestrel would probably munch the little Swallow in less than a minute.

Then there'd only be 88 1/2 pairs. (unless it was a really hungry Kestrel !)

 

Which one tastes better when properly grilled?

Hmm, that I'm not too sure about.

The African Swallow and the Australian Kestrel are pretty much the same in taste, but you need a sweet appetizer to go with them. The Madagascar Sparrowhawk is in a class of it's own, and goes well with just about anything.

I wouldn't even think about eating a grilled African lion, unless Grill Master Chef Louie "Ain't Done Cookin' yet' Morrison is the one doing the cooking.

He can make just about any African dish taste mouth watering !!!

You should try his grilled Split Shelled Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica) Hmmmm yummy !! :confused:

You guys crack me up.

 

Hey now, don't be talkin' about stuff being cracked when bird talk is going on.

One cracked egg, and the yolks on you !!

 

Wonder if the big guy in that pic knows he's on the net?

      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?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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?

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      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.
