But if we still want to kick around that water treatment some more... Now is looking like a good excuse to install a WMI system. Get to clean the engine with a bonus of boosting power :D

If it was three full years, probably could have simply told them to go away (via certified letter) as it is likely that the applicable statute of limitations had run-out (would need to verify with a locally licensed attorney though ;) ). Have seen similar scenarios, but they are rarity...

Yup. All too easy to work out a plan with the provider as Doctors really do not want to put an account out for collection. But some people are just stubborn, too smart for the rest of us, will fight anything, and act like it is somebody else's fault, so the medical provider esentally gets...

Medical bills are a funny thing. Nobody has any problem with getting the service to save their life, but makes me wonder whether they would balk if given the bill ahead of time. Or better yet, offer them a second opinion of how much a Mortician costs instead of the Doctor. And, Yes, I get it...

Neat video. But the question I have is whether the main focus was on headers, or a custom exhaust manifold. Based on the narrative, I am leaning toward custom manifold as there is no mention of measuring exhaust pulses and only measuring to make sure the tubes fit. For headers. I'd expect to...

FaceCrook + group think of wrong answers to problems = Absolutely no surprise. FaceCrook + Nation State sponsored paranoia content = Conspiracy theorists' Dream Team. Getting banned from FaceCrook = PRICELESS!

Am curious. Was that actually a congratulatory comment, or just an opportunity to embed an ad without going through the vendor process?

I see that it already has a good set of parking brakes, so what is with the rear disk conversion? :) For the transmission, end goal of a rat-rod is screaming stick. But maybe that is just me.

A family member re-gifted one of the jungle's hockey puck voice assistant thingys to me. No way I would re-gift that thing further and it got tossed in the recycle bin.

Is this for the '99? If so, recommend getting a scanner and reading the PCM's live data to see if it is just the sending unit (and / or wire), or the coolant is actually behaving that way. Point is, the gauge's sending unit is also a culprit and by reading from the PCM, it is a cross-check to...

Correction, 3.73s (not 3.37s).

If the truck has 4.XX gearing, can see where lag is not noticeable with the ATT. I did get some with the 3.37s / 4L80E and could feel the power difference when the turbo hit its sweet spot. Not a big deal though. With 3.42s and the NV4500, I could easily eliminate lag by keeping RPM's in the...

Also hope that GM learned its lesson from the last time the H! pounded the earth and played in the true 4WD market. When it came time for purchase decisions, there were basically two at that level: the H1 and GWagon. Hummer priced at ~$100K. And it was LOUD! GWagon priced at ~$75K, came with...

FWIW, the ATT had no effect on fuel economy in the Burb. If anything, I saw the ATT as a win for the motor as it developed the same amount of power at 12 - 13 psi as the Holsets reportedly do at 20+ Ditching the wastegate was another win for the ATT as this allowed removal of the vacuum pump...

If there is *no* towing in the plans, consider using 190*F. Can safely state that running up and down 81, 76, and 95 with either all seats loaded or stuffed to the gills did nothing to the temperature gauge. But if we are looking at towing, that is a *completely* different beast. If you...

Get an external gauge for coolant temp. The OE dash gauge is more like an indicator rather than actual measurement. For squeezing more economy out of the rig without sacrificing dependability, synthetic lubes for less parasitic loss and a tune for better torque converter lock-up. The tuner...

Lets hope this beast can tow something more than a jet-ski, rather than only heft its own weight.

FWIW, Ford came out with a warning about the glycol antifreeze catching fire when people tried to use the 7.3 SuperDuty as an ambulance without the ambulance package. Point is, not all coolant is immune to combustion when the system is pushed to extremes ;)

Produced by Evans. Pros are: } the motor will self-destruct before this stuff boils, so in theory it can use higher temperature thermostats. But even with this, I run thermostats based on the mission and not the coolant. The selling point here is that it will resist cavitation (boiling at a...

And then there is the path of the few whom use no water. Only real downside is that it gets expensive when there is a leak. The manufacturer offers free testing for helping determine when to replace.
