Sorry fellas for my NON- :lol: but I just couldn't let that one go. :lol: Can't wait to review the commentary from this one. :lol:

Well said Rob.....this little punk needs a f'n hobby....and a pacifier. :lol:

:lol::lol: True. Couldn't have stated it better.

This thread is too funny!

That is a sweet ride Bob.

Same to you Rob. Like those wheels & tires! I was checking out your pics the other day on cardomain. Nice!

Thanks. If I had it to do all over again, I would've bought the 2500. I have always liked that platform but saw this color on the lot and grabbed it. The tires are awesome but I am leaning more towards an AT tire this go around. They have really upgraded the interior in the new GMT-900s. It almost looks like a luxury car inside. I am looking at putting leather seats in mine now. The cloth was a good option while living in the heat of Texas, but now I am liking the leather more and more since I am in GA now. I know cleaning them is a lot easier than the cloth. I know they had the black leather in my year but I haven't seen too many. I may opt for Katzkin covers instead.

I mostly got the 2500 so I could put a regular HD snowplow on it. I have a long driveway and am getting too old to snowblow it all the time. Wish I got the gas mileage of the 1500. The wife talked me into getting the leather...

Your original "joke" post :

 

I forgot to add no this is not an April Fools joke..I wish it was Jeff...

Hrmmmmm....

 

Your current "joke" post :

 

And that was an April Fools joke. You know what a joke is you dumb shit? Heres the definition.

 

1. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line.

2. A mischievous trick; a prank.

So... Basically, you're admitting to being a liar? You supposedly "made up" this big "joke" for April Fools and then said it wasn't a joke and then you get mad when people believe that it wasn't a joke, when you yourself said (let me scroll back up here... oh, yes!) "this is not an April Fools joke...I wish it was."

 

Quit wimpering, whining, pouting, and throwing tantrums. Man-up and admit you screwed up (and LIED about it either being or not being a joke) and maybe things can get back to more or less normal around here... OR, we could all just put you on ignore...? Whichever!

 

Take it easy!

(I've always loved that song. But, until now, I never had a reason to post a link to it. Thanks, Jas! :lol: )

 

I acutally like that song and forgot all about it. Awesome tune AND choice Michael :lol::)

haha! Yeah, I've always liked that one. I think I've only "used" it once before. But, that was back in high school (when the song was new)..

 

Ahhhh, memories.......... :lol:

Yeah high school was so long ago and my how we have GROWN UP since then. :)

    • It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.      
    • Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.  
    • Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?
    • Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
    • First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!
