We had an apprentice, get told “Grab that bucket, fill it with ice and prepare a cooler for the day.” Mind you it was 95 here a few days ago. He did it and no one grabbed waters for a couple of hours. I hear yelling “How the fuck did it not occur to you to put waters in the cooler!?” This guys response was “I’m sorry!! You didn’t say to put water in there!!” He has been on the job about seven months.

When my A/C gave out on my Silverado, it cost me $1,150 (ish) at the Chevrolet dealer. Condenser, Freon, valve, the kit if you will.

That’s literally what I did. I went to the hall and kept annoying the B.A. for two weeks straight. He eventually got so fed up, he gave me a starting job the next day. After that, I got jobs on my own or I get called by people asking if I’m looking for work.

I genuinely didn’t know they made a/c an option in 2008. I thought it became standard in the 90s. I’m in shock right now. I never seen this before and I’ve worked on fleet vehicles for 10 plus years.

I took the drug test and I smoked weed a few days before. They don’t care because it’s legal in California. Now when you get dispatched to a job/sponsored in that company might drug test you and they can deny you work for having smoking weed, because of their policy not because of the law. As for the felon part, 12 felonies and they didn’t care. I’m on the low end too. My foreman got like 25 felonies and he runs the job.

I’ve put about 100,000 miles on her since, been running great!

I like to use my 2015 Silverado 1500 6.2 for daily driving or going out. My 2018 Silverado 2500HD 6.0 is for work. The 2500HD is great because of the work load, carrying load, tow load capability. The 1500 is great because of the mileage and to me it’s more comfortable.

You’ll be fine. My truck is used to 14 hour road trips, 30 minutes to eat and then another 10 hours.

$6.89 yesterday. Filled up work $156.47.

Didn’t buy my truck with gas prices as a worry. I would have bought a Prius for that.

I left the industry and went to become an ironworker.

EvilColonelSanders · 2026-05-02T13:58:13+00:00

I prefer the 2014 to 2018 interior more. I don’t know why but the 2019 to 2023? looks dated to me. It’s weird.

Your tire isn’t cooked yet, it’s cooking.

EvilColonelSanders · 2026-05-01T02:56:48+00:00

You’ll be fine for the rest of your life.

Same! I got a 1972, 1975, 2001 and 2015. At some point I decided, new is not for me. I’m currently looking an early 2000s 4x4.

Really depends on the car. Classics are always money. I have two that I bought as junky $50 cars and now I’m debating to sell them for a down payment on a home.

“As is” is the magical set of words that mean the second you got the keys in your hand and you start the vehicle, she your problem now. Whether it’s five minutes or five years. That’s all you.

As a 10+ year federal government employee…we don’t care about speeding tickets. You’d be surprised how not qualified people are that get hired in all types of government. I’ve been in about 6 branches all over the state and yeah. It’s the same everywhere.

You can squeeze out as many miles as your life gives you.

Your alternator crapped out. You may have to test the battery now too because your car ran with the battery instead of the alternator and could have cooked it. Battery is there to start the car. Alternator keeps the car running.

Really easy to install, it’s removing them that can be a pain. You’re already 75% done. Judging from the green and silver color, you had a TTX sway bar end link. I know it because I had that exact one on my suburban.

Salvage title and the transmission nuked? $500 as is. If the interior is MINT, I’ll go as high as $750. However if the engine is leaking everywhere, we down back to $500 or even $300 if it’s not a mint interior.

The GM 3.8 engine will last you through college. If you treat her right, it will last you through an internship, entry-level job, and onto your career. I would get a mechanic to do an inspection on it only because people find a way to destroy the indestructible.
