dam.....

i saw this last night. feel bad for the people in the car that he hit. he'll catch it in the morgue

that is probably why so many people had problems with running out. most people seem to think that that little "E" on their fuel gauge stands for "enough". to me, the half tank mark is my empty mark.

following

before they try to force these on civilians, they need to be issued to every single law enforcement agency. remove all of their "dumb" guns, and see how they feel about them after 10 years.

and the 3.8 ones were relatively quick. i pummeled more than one tuner geek with mine.

yea. the tranny locked up on my 98.......

just like all modern engines.....they're fantastic. till they're not. i personally don't care for those engines. they coulda kept the old 3.3 or 3.8 in those vans. both nearly indestructible.

I SHOULD also add that the tahoe ppv is a 2016 with only 54k on the clock. i wonder if i shoulda added this over in the truck suggestion thread. i've also got a 2012 tahoe ppv waiting for me to pull the head, but that one's got 125k.......

got a case at the shop, and a case at home.

i think it was burning. no evidence of leaks. not even the oil cooler....which is super common on these engines. the van's got 107k..... back in the 80's guy in the bay next to me did a oil change on a duster with the 225 slant6. the shop was in stratford. customer lived in barrington. customer called saying his car was making a funny noise. boss told him to drive it back. other guy was gone for the day, so i got to check it. dude changed the filter, never added oil. so this customer drove from stratford to barrington and back. i put oil in it, fired it up, and after about 3 minutes it quieted down.

oh that one's a fun one. the driver(who's actually a pretty nice guy) drove the thing not telling dispatcher or owner that the oil light was coming on and off. then the dispatcher used it to do some extra work. noted the oil light, took it back and parked it. driver dude told him that it's normal for that oil light, and not to worry about it. he jumped in it again and drove it till oil light came on steady, and the thing started knocking its brains out. they had it towed in to the shop. i put 4.5 quarts of oil in it. and of course it still was knocking. and yes. the owner's pissed.

now it's appropriate for me to chime in. i've got a tahoe ppv hanging on my lift. #4 intake lifter rotated in the bore, scoring the camshaft lobe. while checking this out, i see damage to another lobe too. the cost of pulling both heads to r&r the cam and lifters is within 1500 bucks of the cost of replacing the engine with a gm reman. the problem? can't get one. according to my parts guy, they're on national backorder with no timeline on availability. as it is, i hadda wait 3 weeks for the head gaskets. used is not an option for obvious reasons. got another engine job sitting in the parking lot. 2014 grand caravan 3.6. needs engine. this one is also a fleet vehicle, but not law enforcement. i gave them options of a "certified" used engine with 30k less miles on it than the vehicle, and of a reman. i was glad when they took the reman, as it's 3 year unlimited mile warranty as opposed to the 12/12 warranty on the used. the problem? national backorder. but this one i can get a timeline on. end of feb to the beginning of march. got charger for the same police dept. needs engine. that one's the easiest, but also the most expensive. although those engines are backordered, they tell me that they can get me this one in 2 to 3 weeks. i'm waiting on approval from the dept right now. but that job's gonna be stupid expensive 'cause the engine is.

there should have been no reason to run outta gas. idling for that long should've been possible if people kept their tanks above half or 3/4.....but most run well below half tank. me personally, i don't keep anything as far as food in my vehicles, but i do keep a case of water in the car, and one in the truck. i also carry a "go bag" in my vehicles. warm clothes, basic first aid, kbar, and a couple other tools.

JUST GOOGLED them....the one in new castle de?

i have no plans on getting rid of my 02 excursion......although the guy i bought it from came back to my shop a couple months ago and seemed interested in buying it.......if he were to offer me enough, i'd let it go, then buy something stupidly big again, lol

see how they're villivying her because of her opinions? and her lack of tact in stating the obvious? that is exactly what WE need to start doing to them. we cannot take the high road and be the nice guys. that's been proven to not work. we need to take off the gloves and fight them on their terms.

that's what i was gonna say. not a single problem in this country is because of covid. they are all due to the reactions and bullshiit "mandates"

aaahhhh......gotcha. i think that people are falling for the same bs that the media did to trump. they're good at what they do.

scanner-wise.....your police depts up there aren't on project 25? down here they are. no one makes a consumer product that'll pick up those transmissions.

not kohls, kols. KOL KITCHEN & BATH

anyone heard of kols bathroom remodeling?

pretty much. the article i read was saying that she'd said that the 2a is to allow us to protect ourselves from tyrnical govt.....which is true. they called that "suggesting" .

so i just read an article on things she said in ga is that what this is all in reference to?

i highly doubt she's crazy. you're falling for media hype i suspect.
