Gooode morning and a prosperous, healthy, painless, and joyous 2023 to you all! Let's start 2023 on an upbeat note, by hugging and kissing the person or puppy that you slept with, or anyone else handy that looks good.

A gorgeous mostly cloudy new day here, starting at 34F and 2 mph breeze. Hopefully Miss Layla will find more players in the park this morning..............

Lot's of close (loud) fireworks last night starting around 10:45PM and ending shortly after midnight. I normally sleep through them and have never been an issue with Miss Layla, but they were across the street in the park, so were really loud and she came and woke me up for protection. I hugged and petted her until the noise abated and she calmed down, but that was my deep sleep portion of the night, so I'm dragging some this morning.

Looks like I may have to start sedating her on loud holidays to lessen her stress. Too bad, as the park is actually closed during that time frame and fireworks are illegal in Portland, et al, but nothing is enforced.

My Chevy Avalanche 2500 has 337,000 miles on it and still running strong. I change the oil every time it looks just a little dark. Keeps my engine clean and running smoothly. It has a 496 and I use 15W40 diesel oil. Have been for yrs. I took the catalytic converters off . No more smothering my engine. Put a 411 rear end in it too. HD tune up and she runs fast and strong. It will be the last truck I own. Motor goes down I will drop another one in it.

You have a highly Modded engine ?
Not just because you are a Mod I hope LOL

Nah it's just a 8.1 Vortec with an HD tune up. Had the 411 rear end put in about 5 yrs ago.
Although it is the biggest engine Chevy made. They don't make it anymore. If I have to replace it I have a place that has some with 75 to 100,000 miles on them. That means broke in for that engine. 3 yr warranty. Will deliver to my mechanic. In total it will cost me a little over 5 grand to replace and be back on the road.

Oh you have a diesel engine there?
I thought you were running a high compression jobber
They use Diesel oil like yours in gas motors too

No. The 496 /8.1 is a gasoline engine. You can use diesel oil in gasoline engines as long as your have no Converters. The diesel oil is great for high compression and high tork engines. That engine does not red line at 5000 rpms. It's a great engine. Mine also has the pulling package. I can pull some pretty heavy loads.
It was made to hang in there with the Duramax Diesel Engine.
