Well I just got back from taking my final exam and I knew something was wrong as soon as I walked into my house.

 

My mom is on the phone and she is obviously holding back tears.

 

My Dad is real serious and says it's my aunt.

 

She is in the hospital in real bad shape. As far as we know she has pneumonia.

 

She was just released from the hospital a few days ago because her liver had stopped working and she was anemic.

 

She was scheduled for a surgery in a couple weeks because she needed to regain her strength first.

 

I don't know why but I get the feeling that this might be the end. Last time we saw her was less than a month ago when she was visiting.

 

She surprised me when she asked me to open a joint account with her in order to manage her savings and such. My mom said she doesn't trust her own children. :D:D

 

This is really hard for me and my mom as we have already lost another aunt/sister to cancer a few years ago and also my grandmother about 10 years ago.

 

Anyway I hope this is not against forum rules but if it is please delete it. I'm gonna go be alone for a while and pray.

 

:cool:

That really sucks man, hopefully she'll pull through. Never give up hope, doctors can do some amazing things, and some people fight and fight like no other.

 

I'll keep her in my thoughts.

No worries there Ivan, it's not against forum rules or such. :D

 

Keep strong there Ivan and lots of strength and comforting thoughts to you and your family.

 

Pneumonia is very serious for those with weakened immune systems. I really do hope for improvement for your aunt.

Thank you guys I really appreciate being able to talk to you all about it.

 

 

I feel so disconnected from reality right now.

 

 

I really hope my fears are way off and she fully recovers.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.

      Actual Full Screen CarPlay on Refreshed Silverado/Sierras.

      By Greg3160 · Posted

      Im in the same boat. Carlink adapter comes tomorrow and dev account is in process. Would you he able to send the new instructions my way also? Question, do you have to change code and republish app everytime developer updates? Thanks for your assistance, truly the only thing i cant stand about my truck is the carplay limitation

      Weight limit in bed

      By rav3 · Posted

      And Google AI says......... Yes, your truck can technically handle it, but you will be right at or near its maximum limit. A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with a 6.5-foot bed has a maximum payload capacity of approximately 1,770 pounds.Weight RealitiesLoad weight: Half a cord of dry hardwood weighs roughly 1,100 to 1,500 pounds depending on the wood type (like oak or hickory).Payload limit: Payload includes the weight of the wood, you, any passengers, and a full tank of gas.The math: If you weigh 200 pounds and have a full tank of gas, a 1,500-pound load of wood puts you right at that 1,770-pound ceiling.Safety TipsCheck the yellow and white sticker on your driver-side door jamb for your truck's exact payload number, as high-end luxury trims with extra features have slightly lower capacities than basic trucks.Expect the rear end to sag noticeably.Drive carefully, avoid sudden turns or stops, and keep speeds low if you have to travel a distance.
