Mike you have AWESOME taste in music! I can't believe that song never topped the charts.

.../extreme sarcasm :cheers:

The point is...our talking heads tell us that the storm is closing in on Jamaica, it's going to make a direct hit, and nobody in the media stops to think, what is there? Who is there? What's it like there?

 

And yet an honest person, not in the media treadmill, should ask himself (or herself) those questions.

 

I guess I'm just throwing out a lifeline to the few of you out there who might actually wonder, or care.

The only thing I care about is how far are the Gas prices going to soar , after the Commodity Traders get through with the market because of \"Dean\" .

I'm headed to Port Aransas Texas on Monday to get all the expensive stuff out of our condo there. Its gonna suck either way. I am sure that gas is already on rise because maybe it might hit the coastline or maybe it will go into Mexico.

I get what your trying to say mike.

 

I've been thinking about the same thing myself. Wondering how Jamaica's gonna be after all is said and done, and wondering most importantly, if there's gonna be a Jamaica left after it's over.

I've been to Jamaica a few times, and not to be too harsh...But it ALWAYS looks like a hurricane just went through.

 

Except the resorts, they're always immaculate.

Hmm, looking at the list of other videos by them had me go and do a search for this one:

Kool And The Gang

 

Just which one exactly was Kool? And what ever happened to him and the gang? Now you guys have me wishing I'd pony up and spend the extra for the cable package with VH-1 Classic. I love that station, I just never would watch any of the other stations that are included with the package.

The Man :

 

I love how a simple view of a YouTube video can get me tied up for more than a few minutes due to the great links they often have beside it. It took me a minute to figure out who that was walking out, but definitely a good video there. Perfect weather for some blues here, rain for the last 3 days, ha.

      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. The 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.    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.

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.
