2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

[Sam Harris]

Its my old raid 6 setup and wattage is ok for that power supply. I needed a machine to work from home. I just finished moving our company all to AWS and setup VPN access so earned. That machine used to be a i5 2400 from 10 years ago so thought I could use an upgrade (i5 9400).

EDIT:
BTW I did CU Boulder as an undergrad, and worked at Sun Microsystems before Oracle ****** it all up. Parents are in Denver too.

AWS?! Dammit I’m a ZFSSA guy at Oracle. Lol plenty of cloud support in the mix. I started at Sun Microsystems in 2001 (speaking of old farts..)

Awkward....

McNealy lost me when I saw him in person ******** on Linux. Didnt age well. At least you're not part of Azure.

BTW I hear compared to ZFS reiserfs is killer.

Hey wait a minute.... how did I get into this computer tech forum with all this hi-tech lingo that I don't understand?

I could have swore I was in a truck forum... I knew I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque.

I got some oil in her. No belts, intake or accessories. Enough to start. She hated being forced into speed density backup with no maf. I finally got her started though.

Cold idle oil pressure might have been high 20s, maybe 30 psi with the old gasket.

Look at this. Wow. Y'all need to do this.

Video after image.

Strangest looking alternator I've ever seen... lol

I guess on the northestern states they call the starter an alternator. Learned something new today. Lol

Heavier duty socket to start then up the drive to at least a 1/2". I see that baby snapping.

^^^This^^^

Get an impact rated 6-point socket with a 1/2” drive, the biggest breaker bar you can find and maybe even a pipe to go on that.

Ok got the nut off but the bolt is seized in the bushing really bad.

I have an air hammer I'll try in the next day.

If that doesn't work I'm taking it to a shop. Cutting out grade 8 bolts doesn't sound fun.
