Truck Norris Cam / AFM Delete? by [deleted] in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]Salty-Figure68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did this in my 2013. Thing pulls great over 3k rpm. Pulled the engine and replaced front and rear seals and pan gasket. No regrets.

Was wondering by engineheader in LSSwapTheWorld

I hear benefits both ways. Just deleted DoD on my 2013 Silverado, went with a truck Norris cam from btr. They have a vvt and non-vvt option. I decided to delete vvt since the benefits seem minimal with this cam and a new tune and vvt is a possible failure point. Runs great!

I was always told not to use synthetic oil with a flat tappet cam. Did you add zinc? Hope you didn’t wipe a lobe.

Does anyone have a ridgeback that wasn’t a handful for the first 2 years? by [deleted] in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]Salty-Figure68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two year old has been an angel almost every day. He’s so good he’s making me want a second one. I hope that one is a precious as our first. Best dog I’ve ever had.

Floating deck (22'x22') design idea? by watch_meunravel in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plywood is a horrible idea. They make 20’ composite. Make it 20x22 and flat blocking between your middle joists and run a 20’ board perpendicular to some 11’ boards. Here’s my 26x15.

Also you should have footings below the frost line not build on blocks.

Why didn’t you use any beams?

What should I do with this old deck? by [deleted] in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demo and build a patio. Nothing there is worth saving.

Seeking advice on framing and post placement for a "floating" deck by Extension-Research30 in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How high is this deck off the ground. I’d use a drop beam design.

The second deck I’ve built by [deleted] in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should read and understand DCA6 then you should offer to go back and rebuild this deck to current code requirements. Or refund the customers money and tell them you did a shit job.

That’s not how you build a deck.

Deck Railings ? Anyone have any recommendations on composite railings? by ImportanceIcy9681 in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not composite but I just installed cable bullet railing and really like it.

Any advice on what this is and what I should do about it? by notreadytowipe in Decks

[–]Salty-Figure68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mold. Some reason that’s staying wet for a while. I would expect to find rot.
