    July '26 Chat -- Food, Family, Fireworks and Fun!

    Not sure how your bank is, but I set up a free ($5 min balance or you get charged) checking account with my bank. Then I just use the app to transfer from my main account to make purchases in seeding places. No paying to load prepaid cards.

    McRats Wendy is up for sale...

    Never used the word scam. Never said this Justin is a bad guy. Some of my references were age based. Publishers Clearing House, if you have never heard of it, there is a good netflix doc. Cleetus and his friends are aged based as well. All of this is raffle/lottery based. Spend $5 get X...

    McRats Wendy is up for sale...

    Buy a magazine subscription from me and have a chance to $10,000,000 (no purchase necessary). Sound familiar. I don't know him, and don't need to, to know his game. He picked a good "bait" for the "switch". A lawyer might correct me but if just one person entered he has to give it away. But...

    June '26 Chat -- Summertime!

    While that will work and looks great in the short run, long run not so much. I don't know what short is, or long is. The ridge beam is is splitting because the exterior walls are moving out, then ridge moves down. Collar ties are the only sure fix. I know that the destroys the cathedral...

    January '26 Chat -- Happy New Year, and Welcome to DuramaxDiesels.com!!!!

    Insurance (if you talking car or home) is cheapest the longest term you can get. 1 year for my 3 vehicles is about 6% cheaper than 12 monthly payments.

    January '26 Chat -- Happy New Year, and Welcome to DuramaxDiesels.com!!!!

    If you refer to my original post #45, I highlighted in red where you said "rent". Rent has no interest so is not worth paying early under any circumstance other than to feel good for that few months of not having to think about it. You receive no value for that rent payment other than a roof...

    January '26 Chat -- Happy New Year, and Welcome to DuramaxDiesels.com!!!!

    Please don't think that way. If you pay 6-12 month in advance the landlord will put that money in an account (or something) to make interest. Yes it will take some work but even 6 months worth on Tbills is worth more than nothing. Saving that much is a good thing. Learning how to make it...

    January '26 Chat -- Happy New Year, and Welcome to DuramaxDiesels.com!!!!

    Just something for people to remember about retirement. Inflation. With a simple 3%, (The Fed shoots for 2% but we know ho that goes) 20 years from now that is 60% higher cost. So that million will be worth half. Start saving early or when you can but save no matter what. No body really...

    Coming Soon in Your Next Truck (?)

    Tom that is a good thought, however. Can you guess how much a mount and balance would cost? And do we really want the average tire tech nowadays working with high voltage? They keep using the phrase "motor in the wheel" when they mean "motor in the hub". If the motor is the wheel how would...

    FASS relay burnt out, cannot find replacement

    When my airdog relay went out the truck would not shutoff, even with batteries disconnected. The airdog jumps off the ignition fuse, and is took 4 years for the relay the go bad, so I can't complain.

    Bought and sold a 2016 Colorado

    They must have changed something in the tuning for 24. My 21 burns between 1350 and 1400, 1402 is max I have seen. I wish you luck with the additive but these trucks create a lot of soot in stop and go situations. I pull my camper a lot for work and get 800+ miles before it will force a regen...

    Can someone help me out with an issue with ssmall solar charger?

    From that link it state it will charge a .4 amps. I don't know how much power you equipment draws but lets just say 1amp (a very small draw), You are using 60% more power than you are charging. Depending on how much the equipment runs during daylight hours you may not even see a charge to the...

    2024 Duramax issues?

    My 04' had so much more cushion even old a worn out. They both have lumbar but the 04' had bolster that would keep you in the seat. 21' keeps you in the seat just to be there. I just use the topper for long trips but the wife leaves it all the time. I might just have to make them into a seat...

    2024 Duramax issues?

    Have they put more cushion on the seats compared to a 21'? I can handle about 3 hours in mine before I have to get out. Until I added a piece of foam topper for long trips.

    Rear Seat lift to accommodate sub box??

    Any 4 channel amp worth having will have RCA pass through. RCAs from the PAC interface to your 4 channel amp, RCAs from 4 channel amp to monoblock amp. You can get more sound control out of the LC7. But any good amp should have some kind of crossover in it.

    August '23 Chat -- Will Jason find his DragTruck? -- Stay Tuned!!!!

    This is why rolling start times confused me when I was younger. Reading car and driver 0-60 time were always faster than 5-60. Launch makes a difference.

    fuel gauge to empty 2020 Silverado Duramax Allison Crew Cab SB

    Put an electric valve on your transfer tank, don't just let it stay full till transfer it empty. Let the fuel gauge move some. I never shut my truck off when I stop for fuel and it never goes to empty. About to do something similar. Just a thought.
