The other piece of the puzzle showed up.
My 09 LMM has manual HVAC??? my 01 suburban has computerized climate control HVAC???
Honestly it's borderline a deal breaker when looking at trucks.. saw a CCLB 3500srw with WT premium package while back with manual HVAC with power windows/locks
And Trump made the appointment!
I think I am crazy even getting into this, it was just supposed to be a simple tow pig after all. Now we're at S476sxe/Stock VGT. I guess I need to decide whether fuel systems staying stock or not now. 
Leave fuel system stock, good safe guard.
Definitely like to twin with a 475 myself

S475 was the original plan until I found the s476sxe for the same price.
Is there that big of a difference?? Think fuel is limiting factor HP wise.
Probably not. But 1mm larger FMW vs Cast and a 360 degree thrust bearing vs the 270, figured why not. ?
IDK the 475 you had didn't have a 360 thrust bearingProbably not. But 1mm larger FMW vs Cast and a 360 degree thrust bearing vs the 270, figured why not. ?
Pretty sure all the 171702 s475’s have a cast wheel and 270 degree thrust no matter where you get them from.
Random side quest project.. I have a 364/74sxe turbo with less than 5000 miles on it... that someone melted an 8.3 Cummins piston and sent it through then locked it up...
How does one "unlgue" it..
I've got a "decent" size rose bud that'll can put in the port..

Turbine is probably Fubar anyway. I'd get the fins red hot then beat the housing off
476sxe will come on sooner assuming same exhaust housing and turbines
I still love Towing with the original limo. It’s so hard to beat the torque that compounds make.

Sodium Hydroxide bath to dissolve the aluminum bits first? You'd have to pull the compressor cover off beforehand tho. It'll clean up the cast iron too.
gotta love late-night tornado warnings.
We're empty nesters, so when ALL of your adult kids call at midnight, to tell you to get in the basement. Then all the follow up texts and calls. MAKE IT STOP! Not much shut eye last night.
Strange that ours didnt.
I manned the rear window, wife the front, flashlights in hand, and we watched the storm come thru. The lightning was beautiful. Rain and wind were heavy for about 20 minutes. Power shut off for about a minute. Luckily no tree damage this time. A couple flower pots got knocked over.
Random podcast tidbits..
People demand freedom of speech as compensation for freedom of thought, which they seldom use..
Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forward.. intelligent individuals live forward, but they're always watching, dissecting, understanding the structure of everything, power, emotion, seduction and fear.
