First off I know it's wrong to street race. Just had my first race tonight :driving: A Hemi ram :throwup: What a P.O.S.!!! From a stoplight we left together and he kept gettin on it, and slowing down, so I nodded to him and he held up 3 fingers and started to count, one, two, and that little b***h gets on it before the third finger came up!! :nono: !!!! So I floorboard it and instantly catch up. By the time mine shifted to second I was about a bumper ahead. By third, half a truck and pulling hard! As I was walking away from him I could still hear that annoying Dodge exhaust just wailing! Granted his was a crew cab 4X4 and mine is a 2WD RCSB, but he has a HEMI!!! :rolleyes: As we pulled in my apartment complex I rolled down my window to see if he wanted to go again but he turned the other way and wouldn't look at me :loser:

The Hemi is only a name anymore and not the legendary 426. Smoke 'em if you can!

Just because you beat a truck that weighs over a ton more, and was a 4x4 doesn't mean you need to call him names, or use those words on the forum.

Mark does have a little bit of a point. What's the point in being a winner if you can't show class and respect? Those kinda guys usually get booed at the track. But you're just excited, I bet I probably would be too. That's all I'm gonna say (and do for that matter) about it.

 

 

 

But everybody else has hit it on the head, Hemi's just a name these days. The only thing good decent namesake that still holds value in the Dodge camp is Cummins.

Like I said "Granted his was a crew cab 4X4 and mine is a 2WD RCSB". And I called him that because if you're goning to cheat, thats what you are. maybe I should have called him a punk.

I showed class and respect by trying to give him a second chance, but he chose to ignore me.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.    A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By CPhelps · Posted

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By rav3 · Posted

      You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.

      2018 Slverado LTZ failing driver's side engine mount

      By mysery1 · Posted

      I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
