I would have the lab clarify the 4 ball test is equal between your two batches of tests. I would wager a variable changed for such a drastic difference in result.

I like the banks videos. There is a lot to learn on some of his engineering breakdowns. His testing proved the OEM finned aluminum diff cover is all the upgrade I'll ever need.

I get 18mpg in my 2009 5.3l 6l80 burb. That's good mileage with your awd and 6.2l. I would go 30wt. I'll try 0w40 one of these days.

Keep us updated. How did the engine sound? The oil pressure would have been interesting. I have a 2010 3.5l ford that called for 5w20, it got noisy when it was time for a change. Its not an ecoboost, no idea how similar it is to your engines architecture. I think the dash wanted 7k mile intervals.

Did you notice any change in behavior? I have a stash of this atf.

B1 b2 looks like a buckle. A tape measure will tell you a lot about the frame. It should be within 1/8th of an inch. I would find an alignment shop that pulls frames.

It could be the rear band. I'll check it when I drop the pan. The truck has 373k on the odometer, might be its 4th transmission. It only happens on occasion when cold. I'm not loosing sleep. To leave that dirty fluid in there, wrecking the bearings and planetaries is a sin. I should have...

My suburban got a thorough fluid swap when I bought it. It was dirty enough I questioned buying the vehicle in the first place. Valvoline maxlife has been great so far. With that success I decided to swap a gallon out of my 96 dodge. I've had the truck for 6 years, 20k miles, never touched the...

Did it come with an upgraded converter? Edit: That seems like a good price. It's an updated stock converter, not billet.

Looks like a low stall billet lid from transtar is under 600$ plus core. I've contemplated rebuilding mine while it is still working perfect. Hard to do.

^^That is the way to do it. I like having an extra vehicle. You have to enjoy the car, or it will just be a headache. From the news reports on San Francisco, that **** box corolla might be perfect. Put a gun turret on the top and lead the charge. I heard a rumor there was a shortage of...

I would have sold internal organs for the C8 Corvette if it had a manual transmission at its unveiling. They can keep it.

"High steel on steel friction" for cvt performance. I won't use these mutt fluids.

I let my oil filter drain too long on my 5.3l, it rattled terrible for 15 seconds or more on start up.. I'm going to pre fill my filter before I remove the old one, and swap it darn fast next time.

I am watching some midterm election shenanigans on Twitter. I did the same in 2020. I like seeing the opinion of people in office and what they are working on. I think Elon said the budget at twitter for food service in S.F. was 13m for the year. With everybody working at home, it was going to...

On old engines there is plenty of pressure blowing out while it's running. Mine is oily, so I doubt anything will get to the engine through the downward facing 14" long breather tube when it's not running.

Thank you for the details.

That RV is great! Help me understand your chart and how it relates to ratios like 14.7. I tuned a holley with a wide band, it was fun to watch the different circuits kick in. Nice tool for tuning.

They should make a magazine again. I used to subscribe to popular hot rodding for the engine masters content.

Thanks for posting pics, lots of cars I have never seen.
