So do I like, get royalties or something for being on their cover?

[Zapper2003]

Didn't you sign any legal forms?

It's so awesome to see job opportunities online and seeing you meet the requirements.

Just applied to a local Midas shop. I haven't heard from STS corporate about a pay increase...so I am keeping my options open.

[ZAPFOOL!!]

Time to go home yet?

[cammed goat]

Night shift again Zap?

[Mr. Luos]

Saw a new 5.0 GT around today.
I was in the Grand Ma.
I was sad.

Ok -- since we have all you truck nuts on the train...

I am considering a truck to tow a car trailer -- probably an aluminum tandem axle trailer hauling a 3,600 lb. car. What do I want to get?

5.9 cummins-pre particulate bs

GM forum=DURAMAX.

forget dat hoe. that body style chebby (before dpf) is mostly garbage

[jiveass]

Ugh! I thought that bitch would never leave! Sup fellas?

[quote=Transamws6;2374394]Ok, that'd be great, I'll give you a shout once I know exactly where we'll be in OBX. And I'm not the kind of guy that slides into flip-flops and goes running around on the beach, not my thing, I'm hoping thats not the only thing to do out there.



Thats the 2nd time i've heard a story about the the turbos on the 6.0's exploding. Thats just ridiculous.

But on another note, I understand your grandfathers an older guy and not one of those faggot diesel ricer dudes, I was just saying, I've heard it gets pretty expensive to actually make those 6.0's reliable. And i've heard nothing but good things about the 6.4's except that they just get bad gas mileage.
edit: was a 6.0 gasser ^

I don't know the exact payload on these, but you might be able to just get a 2500 6.0 Vortec Silverado and tow your car and that Aluminum trailer, but I'd get a diesel just to be safe, and the 6.0 Silvy's get pretty terrible gas mileage if my memory serves me correctly. Probably the Duramax or Cummins if I had to pick a diesel though.

I'm going to just unplug the connection of the egr valve tomorrow and see if it leaks (exhaust into the intake). If it throws a code just hook it back up for inspection. If it doesn't seal off the exhaust i'll get a cheap block off or make one. My grandpa's last truck was a 1500hd 4x4 crew. Had 4.10 gears and was still completely sackless. Catback exhaust only. Had to rev to get anywhere unloaded. With his oil field gear and living accomodations (over 1k on the truck) it was complete garbage. Can't imagine it with his big open trailer loaded up. Seems the vortec 350 z71 half ton he had previously had power more where it should be in a work truck. I told him to get the 8.1... But that is an oil burning pos
edit: was a 6.0 gasser ^ also, other than the regen problems which were fixed with a retune, some turbos have to be replaced neccisating cab removal for access..

Jo Garcia is fantastic.

Man, so the 6.0 gasser is a slouch too? And you said he had 4.10's as well? Damn, and he had the 1500HD, and I THINK that the 2500's are a little beefier than the 1500's in terms of weight so it's probably even more sluggish in the 2500, not a good thing.

And the 8.1? Thats that Big Block that came in like the Heavy duty Avalanches i guess you could call them??? Not sure about the Avalanches but i think they came in one model. But I know they also came in the 2500 Suburbans. I had no idea you could get them in Silverados as well.

And it's weird how everyone else had all these great experiences with their 5.7 Vortec powered Chevy truck while my folks 96' Tahoe was just a nightmare on wheels and completley self-destructed at like 125k, I just don't get it, I'm starting to take what people say about those trucks with a grain of salt.

Yea I've heard you have to dump tons of money into those 6.0's to make them "reliable".

But if Ford is his thing, he could get an F-250 with the new 6.7, from what I've heard, they seem to be pretty damn incredible. I don't think the 6.4 is that bad either, but they get some shitty ass gas mileage. They seem to have a bad rap because of the 6.0, but don't really appear to have anymore problems than any of the other diesels out there.

Don't waste your time with either. Go with a 7.3 or a 6.7

[Mr. Luos]

Slowass shall get 4.56's this winter.

And that was like.....30 years ago or some shit.

6.7's are super expensive, and 7.3's are old as dirt (I think they came out in '94), even though they're pretty good from what I've heard.
