    Recommend SUV for mother in law for $8k

    8k does not get much anymore. Like others have said condition and history would be what I focus on. I don't envy you. I felt like this when my 17 1 ton was totaled. I don't know how soon you need it, but take your time, there is one out there.

    GM Gen VI V-8 engine will be available in 2027

    The 6.6 is LT based. The 5.3 sure the dod ruins it. Having owned all of them I still disagree., but I digress and will go with Billy Joel. The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. I don't want to go back.

    GM Gen VI V-8 engine will be available in 2027

    I had a bunch of those 1989 454 TBI, 1988 350 TBI, 1997 CPI, 1991 TBI. No way way were they better than my 02, 17 and my current 6.6. Intake leaks, injector problems, TBIs warping, 700R4 crap, Turbo 400, 60 mph just over 3000 RPM. The big block truck got an engine at 54,000 miles. People forget...

    And in the LT series DI has not been issue if you are talking about carbon build up on the valves.

    What are you working on today?

    New headlights on the Corvette. These were 700ish with 06 and up ballast. Took 3 hours. I like it. Still love the car. Old ones. New ones

    looking for a zero turn or lawn tractor for my son

    I have Cub Cadet Ultima 54 inch zero turn. I am on season 2 with it. I have an acre and a half, with a small hill. I love the thing. Cut my mowing time in half and so far it it is a really good machine. I have no complaints. For that size lot you don't need a big pricey one. It is generally...

    Behr Ultra Exterior Paint after 4.5ish years

    It is the siding. Does that get a bunch of direct sun?

    Euro oil in rebuilt GM LM7?

    I run Euro 5W-40 in the 6.0 in my Caprice. I ran it in my old LS1 Trans Am.

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    I can tell you I only purchased my 24 3/4 Chevy gasser because of the excellent payout I got from my insurance when my 17 got wrecked. I have no issues with it and I can tell you it pulls so much better than my old 02, 17 and my kids LB7 Duramax. If I had not received that payout I would have...

    2025 Toyota Tundra SR Loaner - I really hate this truck!

    I can't see towing without a cooler. I can tell you towing 10,000 lbs in my truck, I have not seen that thing over 174. I don't care about MPGs. So if I lose a few cold I am good with it. Caprice has a nice one too and even after some "spirited" driving in the WA desert it stays under 190. I...

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    You know I wanted to add, after I got the Caprice fixed from the scooter fire, a guy at work backed in to that bumper with his ball. I was able to buff most of it. He had no idea he had done it. I just happened to know his truck. I let it go, I understand how you feel, but the way some...

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    I had that happen to my 05 grand prix. I got a painted front bumper off of Amazon. It really was nice.
