  1. Sure, I'm the one who is ignorant and making assumptions. Unless he is particularly vulnerable (eg; sickle-cell) and intends on caving up till a full proof vaccine exists, your rationalizations on his behalf is completely illogical.
  2. By leaving an enclosed group that is tested three times a week with full medical surveillance with plans to monitor quarantine safely if positive, to mixing with a 40k+ student body that practices mitigation less well than the population at large? Are you that dense? If he is trying to stop the spread, he is doing it wrong. Go virtue signal somewhere else.
  3. Do you have a name and or number? I need the leather driver's seat redone in a 2000 Silverado. Thanks
  4. Broughton and Sterns? Is there absolutely zero chance going forward for them? Did they burn bridges? No idea, I just keep hearing this. If Herman is still the coach and Blake is still the father, then I'd guess no.
  5. Is she staying in the dorms and going to practice? Is he living with her? Or perhaps they're taking a free year of school on the states dime and plan on transferring or quitting next year. It's still weird in Bimage's case because he was in the two-deep and slated for real snaps. Sitting out a year forsaking reps, practice, and weights doesn't make sense if he plans on coming back and starting next year. I'd bet he quits or transfers. Very odd and disappointing regardless.
  6. Found the sock Lots of men are raised by women, do they all act like little bitches? Did Vince Young act like a little bitch? No
  7. Ketch is such a little bitch. Dictionary definition of a man raised by a woman.
  8. He was going to be a doctor, literally one of the only jobs in the military where you help people heal instead of help kill them. What is he objecting to? This screams dumb ideology, and the fact he is sideways with his (military) family is another red flag. Has he told you specifics as to his reasoning why he flaked out? It seems there are large chunks missing as to his thought process, if there was any. If you won't miss the cash, sure, roll the dice, but it seems like a gamble with bad odds. Good luck.
  9. Read the quoted post below, he is absolutely right. I've had this version for about 5 years and it was money well spent. I use Torque on an Android too and it's great.
  10. Still cannot believe Marvel picked the wrong Brie for Captain Marvel. Brie Larson is a good actress, but Alison Brie would have truly killed it in that role. Big miss imo. Fyi Larson is in Community episodes 4-8, 5-6, 5-9, where she plays Abed's girlfriend/interest.
  11. No, just flakiness. The staff seems unsure of the room since they keep pursuing transfers, so I would guess during the season we'll see why.
  12. re; Tunmise Do.Not.Want.
  13. Wow! I hope they get it turned around.
  14. He sounds like he's full of shit and a moron. My advice is not to screw with the government as once you're on their radar it is almost impossible to get off even if you do everything above board.
  15. And/Or that the Brocks are actively negative recruiting him
  16. 347 hp 355 tq on a stock LM7 with a cam upgrade, headers, and a carb. I would assume sticking with the stock FI and a tune would produce more.
  17. Is everyone synced up now?
  18. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/chevy-706-ls-heads/ Found this. I'm sure LS6 heads are better, but the stock heads are not bad.
  19. Maybe he wants to grad transfer next season, though if so I don't know why.
  20. You should be able to easily get another 15-30 horsepower with a mix of cam/flash/exhaust on the stock heads. You may need to use higher octane, but I doubt it. If you're going to tear it down and don't mind changing to LS6 heads, I'm sure you can get more. I've heard good things about HP Tuners for engine management if you want to change and want more control. Porting the stock heads should do the trick as well. Don't use Dorman knock sensors (or anything) as they have a bad rep. The knock sensors have a rep for going out as they like to trap moisture in the recessed holes they screw into, I've already had mine done too. You can get a wireless Bluetooth or wifi OBS code reader dongle that will connect to your phone. If you use an android you can use Torque for free to read your codes and see engine parameters in real time. I got a generic OBD Bluetooth wireless dongle for $10-15 five years ago off ebay and it is the best money I've ever spent. Borescope cameras that connect to your phone are dirt cheap ($10-20) too. Sams will polish the lenses and put on a protective coating for $35 with a warranty last I checked. They are lazy and you'll need to make an appointment so YMMV. If your housings are too damaged you can buy new housings off Rockauto or Ebay cheap too. Texas Alternator Starter Service in Austin rebuilt it. It cost just barely more than an autozone Gold rebuild and I wanted to keep the original part seeing as it lasted so long. I pretty much agree with your research and don't disagree with anything. I've been meaning to get my oil analyzed and may go ahead and do it next time I get it changed. My biggest problem recently was a persistent cold start lifter knock but pandemic speeding and the higher highway rpms have really quieted it down (I think). I'm pretty sure when she dies it will be because of a collapsed lifter, a wiped cam lobe, or the rings. Still love this truck.
  21. Heads up, the LS' are known for the oil pickup tube o-ring to harden so that it loses pressure at idle. A cheap and easy fix only needing to drop the pan to get to it. YMMV of course. As to OP, I would drive it in the ground including rebuilding the trans as long as you plan on keeping it for a while. If the engine eats a cam, a bearing, or the rings give out, I would probably lean towards a rebuild from a reputable shop that warranties their work and would upgrade the cam and valve springs including a re-flash to get around 325 hp. The cam and springs are the bottle neck as the stock Vortec heads are pretty good. 2000 Silverado Z-71 with 235k on the original engine and trans here. Just rebuilt the original alternator. They don't make them like that any more.
