Bring back the GM Vortec 5.3 and the Toyota 5.7. Both are tanks and deserve to return to market.

Sorry it won’t happen. It would cost 100’s of millions to retool factories. What happens in 3 years if a D gets elected again.

Also, go back to R 22 for refrigerant. The cost has more than tripled in 6 years for a 3.5 ton Trane unit. I am told it’s due to EPA constantly banning refrigerants in favor of something “less” harmful to the environment.

The 5.3 vortex still exists, it’s just been over worked by the stupid AFM.

That 4L60E is a POS though.

Not really your type of conversation bubbles. Ever considered starting a "glory hole" forum on here for you and the rest of the Blue Oyster Club?

It lasts longer than these newer multi-speed trannies.
In 2007 I bought a new 2007 Chevy classis LS. Now has 250,000 miles and engine doesn't use/leak oil. 4L60E has has 3 transmission flushes through the years. Still my daily driver. No GM built truck today is that solid.

This is the unseen and mostly unspoken of cost of our modern method of governing via countless EOs. Even when a conservative like Trump fixes old EOs that are bad it still comes with a cost of refitting to do things the old way and a lot of times due to that cost producers never will and that's IF a D doesn't show up in less than 4 years and force them back
It's all very fricked

Well nobody is buying this new crap unless they absolutely have to and no business can survive without customers

I grew up in a house with lead paint and asbestos.
No problems. We didn't eat the paint or break up the asbestos and snort it.

I have a 400 hp small block in my F150..
But I completely agree.
Get rid of the emissions bs for gas and diesel engines.
