Pretty much summed it up with my only counter is I don't feel my truck is laggy, and I don't have rust issues because TX. All the other things listed I have experienced, + blend motor problems causing heat on one side but not the other. I haven't tackled it yet, but it's gonna be a PITA.

Tell em to take a hike on that 3%.

Has anyone ever used Valerian steel bolts/studs?

However much heat is generated at the manifold to turbo flange.

100 million % out of beater price range. If it's in specs, send it.

YESSSSSS

I've got my 1G loosely for sale...

I'm changing my turbo setup. As such, I am now on the hunt for new bolts. 3/8"-16 That being said, I don't know ish about what kind of material the bolts/stud should be made of. I know that using a grade 5 bolt from Home Depot is not going to cut it. But I see a lot of SS options out there but in my experience, SS galls in heat applications. So educate me on what kind of material should be used, and where I can find bolts/studs made of such material.

Ability Chiropractic. https://www.abilitychiro.com/ Brian is good people.

I don't disagree with you. I just like the fact that he talking about something I haven't heard other candidates seriously address. I spend a good amount of time hunting in the middle of nowhere Texas. On my last trip to the panhandle, I spent an afternoon with some of the land owners/farmers up there. Trump country. They grow a lot of cotton, wheat, millet, etc. I got a tour of the cotton gin (neat stuff) and another walk through of the company that builds the SCARAB composter. (Yup that thing was invented and still built in White Deer, TX, a town of 1,000 people). And what was pointed out to me was some of the automated technology being implemented. "See that machine right there. That eliminated the need for 3 people." "See auto-welder, that eliminated 2.5 people." Me-"Doesn't that hurt the job market here though?" Farmer-"Yeah, but the thing is, people are unreliable. Don't show up when you need them to, do the work you need done when it needs done, etc. With this machine, you don't have that problem." I know for a fact because of the industry i'm in, working for a family owned company...labor continues to go up. It has for years and continues to do so, but the end customer doesn't want to pay more. I'm having to pay people $12/hr for jobs I could pay $8-$8.50/hr for 5yrs ago. With profit margins so small, labor costs continuing to rise, automation within our organization is inevitable if we are going to stay in business.

See, I don't know how much it would affect innovation because as he states, those companies are going to see a chunk of that going right back to them because what do people do when they have money? They spend it? I'm not going to lie, I buy a TON of stuff from Amazon. Put an extra $1,000 in my pocket per month, yeah, a chunk of that is most likely going right back to Amazon.

By taxing new tech. He states this could easily be paid for by taxing huge companies/big tech. I.E. Companies like Amazon, Tesla, Self-driving truck companies, etc. I probably won't vote for him because I don't like his policies on firearms and a few other topics, but I think it's hard to dismiss his foresight of big tech radically changing the work climate. Something like 3 million truck drivers on the roads right now. What happens in 20yrs when trucks are driving themselves? Same with retail. Heck, look how many kiosks and self checkout lines there are now and retail is the most widespread job there is currently. Need someone more to the right but with some financial/economic input from this guy.

I've done it on every vehicle I've owned/built. I specifically remember picking up my F150 from Jordan back in 2011 and on the way back from Cambridge to Columbus, topping it out a few times, ha ha. Let that bish rip.

Anyone here like Andrew Yang? A lot of the stuff he says about Tech I believe is hard to argue with.

I'll sell you my 1G AWD DSM for $9k.

I know GTR's are run at the factory. But yeah, those are GTR's...

Something I have wondered about for years on and off is factory engine break in. Basically, when a dealer has a new cars on the lot with like 2mi on it, was that engine broken in at the factory? Or are all the people test driving this thing essentially breaking it in? I ask because on the DSM motors I have had in the past, I pretty much follow the motoman break in procedure and it's worked great for me in the past. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm Initial start run some cheap conventional oil in for a few min to flush any crap in there out. Drop in some Amsoil or whatever 30W break in oil. And I go beat the piss out of hit. Varied throttle/rpm and running it up top. I remember one motor in particular I beat the snot out of it for essentially 10mi worth of driving, got back to the garage, no smoke coming out of the tail pipe at all. Rings seemed to have sealed nicely. Never had any issues with that bottom end. So basically what I am asking is, do factories run these engines prior to installation and break them in, or is the customer breaking them in?

What's wrong with being there after dark? I haven't lived in Columbus since 2011, but I LOVED going down there to eat, people watch, gallery hop, etc. Has it gotten bad since then?

White is Right.

How do I get the free moniez?

Ensuring we don't all die would be my guess.

I do not enjoy my day job whatsoever, but I enjoy the flexibility and compensation, so it's one of those, "I deal with the crap because it lets me do other things I really enjoy." I do enjoy the side work I do via Falconry/Bird abatement.

NY LOL

Spritty tinkles. An old boat I had when I was younger and would love to have again is an '86 regal. Man I loved that car. Not as big as the yachts you've grown accustom to, but there is a little place in my heart for these big, old cars.
