    OCI Obsession and loving it!

    I once knew a guy who had his car towed from our office to the quick-lube place up the road, because he would have gone over 3000 miles on his OCI if he drove it there. That is OCD. True story.

    14 Inlet Holes vs 5 Champ 2808

    Measure the area of the 5 inlet holes, then compare it to the area of the center hole. If they're equal, then no problem. You can't pump in more than comes out anyway. Edit: the area of the center hole is larger than the area of the opening of the pipe it mounts to. I think that probably...

    How to deal with family member that drinks heavily

    Alcoholism is a disease. And it creates a system of enablers. I don't know how to deal with it, other than to implore you to treat your sister with compassion. She may be in denial regarding her husband's disease, or she may already be at the end of her rope. But please don't risk your...

    Thoughts on a new Tahoe

    It is not true. The engine will still change to 4 cyl in Tow/Haul if the parameters to do so are present. My 4.3 V6 goes in to 4 cyl frequently when I'm towing my boat.

    Anyone ever drive their side by

    IDK about atvs and side-by-sides in NY, but you can drive your snowmobile on roads that have been closed for snow, as long as you obey the speed limit. Though I'm not really sure who is going to catch you for speeding...

    Recommendation, one oil for the garage

    The way I see it, since they are require 0w20, you're already golden. If you are happy with whatever is sold at Walmart, then the brand name is fungible. Just buy whatever 0w20 makes you happy that day.

    Big lots to close all stores

    The Big Lots near me is actually pretty nice. But I only go in there about 4 times per year, and 1/2 the time I don't buy anything. I guess that's their entire problem.

    Do I really need a new thermostat?

    I changed the thermostat on my 2016 Sierra last winter. The part was maybe $70 and tool me less than one hour in my garage. It's right on top, easy to get to. 4.3 and 5.3 engines use the same part and it is in the same location.

    Informal gas pump survey

    I top off my truck at the Canada border before crossing, as gas in Canada is $0.70 to $1.25 more per gallon there... and if I need gas on the way home, I typically only buy whatever it takes to get me to back to BJs near home, as it's WAY cheaper there... Any no, I'm not broke. Just frugal. :)
