No doubt. Not my strongest attribute ?
Looks like only one that's the same. 2nd W/O GV, and 3rd with GV. So, an 11 speed transmission without the valve body issue.
Now, a way to keep the incorrect ratio, speed sensors and other codes from popping up. Plus get accurate speedo...
I stand corrected. We got almost 2.5" of rain yesterday, and while nothing bad happened around our home, this did out on my route:
Saw a road commission guy today, and he was saying it'll take a few months for them to properly repair it. At least the Detour is only a couple miles.

Well I'm sitting in the yard that I check out every day and it's getting dark, rain, lightning and thunder. I kept trying to get a lightning bolt and I finally captured it.

That's always cool to see a lightening bolt in action!
Capturing one in daytime is way more difficult. Camera shutter is faster so you have less time. I've captured a number of them at night because the shutter stays open long enough to get them even of your timing isn't that lucky
My DSLR does it nicely. Higher success rate then the phone camera

Reminds me of those videos where an interviewer asks recent highschool & collage graduates basic questions. Like: what country borders Canada, and they're like, oh, oh, I know this. Is it Asia?
Or, who's the governor of your state? And they guess: Mile Pence or something. Or how many states in the USA are there, who fought in the civil war. When did the USA gain it's independence, etc. they are so clueless. If that generation takes over we are doomed.
The people in that video are what I imagine these graduates will be like in the workplace
Speaking of civil war, supposedly that Russia ran blockcade against the South for the north, and the debt was 7million, which was laundered through buying Alaska for 7million which was pennies and some political narrative that Russia was done with Alaska..

It doesn't have to be That generation either... My Boss is not even from this country. He holds degree's in his own country so he is no dummy. How ever he doesn't have the mechanical hands on experience that I do and English is a second language for him. He can speak well enough to be under stood and carry a conversation. However some things get lost in translation. He often uses a translator for email and text.
This week I was handed a new version of out product to install. I have another co-worker to assist me with installing this new product. I was sent a new motor that were going to be using going forward. I told them hey guys, the output shaft is larger so you need to modify the pulley to fit the shaft.
'oh yeah, no problem..." also the bolt pattern is larger so you need to modify the adaptor plate. "Yeah, no problem we can get that fixed...."
It' wasn't... Guess who gets left holding the bag? Guess who now gets to write a report and document every thing that was wrong and what was done to fix these issues?
We Found GM's Lost Duramax V8 Prototype That Could've Reinvented Modern Trucks
After GM killed the project during its 2009 bankruptcy, an unused prototype V8 escaped the factory and made it into private hands. This is how it happened.

That's pretty cool. I remember following it's development way back when it was hot stuff. Was sad when it was announced they cancelled it. Didn't make any sense to me as it probably would have brought in lots of revenue for GMWe Found GM's Lost Duramax V8 Prototype That Could've Reinvented Modern Trucks

Did anyone see the comment about the guy wanting to sell his engine? Someone here needs to jump on that. Would be awesome to see it finally live and running in a Tahoe or pickup
Why do they always go to Banks for info? Shows how little the writers actually know that they do.
I'm also surprised about the use of a CP4 before anyone even knew they existed. We didn't aee them until 2011 and this engine had one 5 years prior. The primer bulb is another interesting piece. Didn't see any fuel filter on it
The LB7 was stuck in the 90s C3500HD as a test mule, I found that the radiator core is the same size as the LB7 radiator core when I did my LBZ swap in my red 99 C3500HD
The 8.1 came factory in the 00-02 C3500HD before the 4500 Kodiak got released
Emissions issues ??
on two of our 5 trucks
Pretty sure either egr cooler and or DPF is/are plugged.. and I'm sure these engines drinking ~1gl of oil per 15-17k miles isn't helping anything
