    During our time, the Navy had a string of flight training bases, strung along the Gulf Coast, from FL to TX. The Lexington cruised back and forth, parking off each of these bases, so the student pilots could carrier qualify. I wanted to go, as part of the maintenance teams, but it never...

    6L80E compability?

    I think they're losing their "purity" too. They now partner with sellers, for kickbacks; and Subaru is using their name in TV ads. They used to not allow their name to be used. They were "A Leading Consumer Magazine". joe

    Yeah, 'Motor Week' seems aimed at people who don't know cars. 'Consumer Reports' is about as bad. It's treated cars like appliances since long before it started being true. I remember them criticizing Corvettes, and cars like them, for being tight and stiffly sprung. joe

    Isn't the Ford a brand-new design? How old is the GM design? Just wondering. I've kinda gotten the impression, over the years, that the car magazines take turns between brands in their 'best of...' comparisons. It has seemed like the newest design usually wins, which kinda figures, I guess. joe

    Neither do the laws of diminishing returns, big fella; nor the influences of which points on the ruler you're measuring to and from. And I didn't disagree. I just pointed out that there are shades/variables involved. joe

    A big reason for the noise reduction is federal noise regs. I'd guess it's also a big driver of the 'funky' OEM design. joe

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    From DDG.AI... Based on customer feedback on marketplace listings, Joiify/Joiify fender covers have a generally positive reputation, with buyers most often praising thickness/soft protection, fit, and ease of use—while some complaints focus on plastic hooks durability and magnet...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I think that was a good move, because I think people tend to turn hard or fast to the left more than to the right [except Brits]. joe

    So who makes the Genuine GM fuel pump?

    'Made in China' is not necessarily the key point. What really matter are the manufacturing specifications of the parts contract; and how strictly the buyer enforces compliance. joe
