Well my parents have a very large garage and they are giving my my own section of it for my 4 wheeler and truck..

 

i want to put down a cool tile or flooring stuff to make it look better than rough concrete i am also buying shelves to put extra parts and stuff on too as well as a tool box..

 

i think it would be cool to have a black and white checker board tile but where do i buy the right stuff?

 

its basically just a place to fix stuff and work on my things but i want it to be really clean and organized.

 

thanks!

Are you referring to just linoleum in a checker pattern? Seems that would be quite easy to orchestrate. How about something simpler...floor epoxy with the chips? That's always a good surface that's easy to clean and looks pretty good. They've got plenty of choices on that stuff at the Home Depot or Lowes.

That's the way to go. But make sure you get the stuff that is 100% oil resistant, and something that has a "grit" in it. Makes it a lot easier to walk on when it's wet or has oil spilled on it.

They make interlocking tiles for garage floors that do not require glue. But they are VERY expensive.

Flexi-tile is one brand. I've put down a lot of it.

You can purchase it at Lowes. Go to the flooring dept. and ask to see samples. They can order it

Looks good. But I think he's looking for something that's not permanent.

Duct tape, just use different colors to make the pattern you want. When it comes time to remove it just pull it up. If any gets dirty or torn...just replace it. For some extra support you could use some bailin' wire to it.

For non-premanent flooring, I would recommend linoleum. It is 12 ft. width, and can be layed down, without glue, just tape the edges. Price usually $1-$2 sq.ft. I am a flooring contractor, and we have the black / white checker pattern, in stock. It's popular for toy haulers. The floor on the trucks set, is vct tile, usually installed in commercial business, and is glued down. Both flooring are a softer compound, can be scratched or torn, not for jack stands.

I used to carry the RaceDeck line from Snap Lock Industries when we were selling Gladiator Garage components. I have it all through my basement and under my GTI. There product is really nice and of extreme quality. My only squak is that its not easy to sweep into a dust pan on it! They also have the finish edges that taper if you are only doing a section in the garage.

 

I definately recomend it, but I have no idea the cost comparison to other brands. Ill see if I can find a pic of mine. I did a yellow checkerboard and to drive stripes.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
