2005 GMC 2500HD LLY - Need Stock Tune
I went thru and stickey'd EFILive's Stock files in this section. There are some 2005 tune files in there. If you need to figure out what operating system you need, you can google Opel's TIS2Web access port online, input your VIN and figure out the tune tree from there, then match it to the...- TheBac

Lml piston install
What was piston to deck height before- and after- the build? Did you use the same thickness replacement headgaskets or just go with Cs like most do? So many variables...... Not as familiar with Mahle delipped pistons as Id like, but are their bowls the same size as a stock delip would be or...- TheBac

May '26 Chat -- "Are We There Yet?"
Nice! I noticed during the race that the cars had "hybrid" drivetrains. Had no idea what that was all about. Found later it's a capacitor of some sort that stores energy. Then when the driver hits a button it gives the car 40-50 more hp. I understand that's how Rosenqvist was able to...- TheBac

Keeping within the theme this month, I was informed that we now have a "family camping trip" planned for July. Meet the kids up north for three days of tents/campfires and relaxing.- TheBac

May '26 Chat -- "Are We There Yet?"
My family was happy I recorded the plane landing. This year's Indy 500 has been a pretty cool race. 67 lead changes so far, one off the record. Sucks they red flagged it here with 8 laps to go after that wreck Its going to be nuts watching these guys go all-out once the race restarts.- TheBac

Bought and sold a 2016 Colorado
I shouldve just deleted it last year, but i didnt. Now Im past the point of caring. Still like the truck, but not the emissions. Never again. Here's hoping the buyer calls me Tuesday to set up the meet. Ive found a few GMT800s in really nice shape that might suffice.- TheBac

May '26 Chat -- "Are We There Yet?"
The wind was right, so I went out to Dad's gravesite to grab a video of the UPS plane landing for my siblings. That one of the reasons I picked this particular cemetery, the Veteran's area was under the glidepath of the Airport that Dad managed for many years.- TheBac

Bought and sold a 2016 Colorado
Back from dealer. The DEF/SCR system was all "gunked up" (their terminology, not mine). They had to do another service regen and then another pair of tamper/malfunction resets to get the derates to clear. No hard part issues. Total cost this time, $467. Also, I got a text from a person...- TheBac

Coolant loss into oil and no external leak! Help
x2 -- probably the oil cooler. These engines are 20+ years old now. My experience, water pump usually doesnt leak inward, just coolant thru weephole. Be safe over there. -
2002 FE9
Look at that rust where it broke. Those were cracked for a while, and the right one had broken. Sure you've got the correct length shocks for the application?- TheBac
