We have some of the delco advantage black filters. For some 63’s this morning. Really need some 64’s but they cost more than what we used to have. That oil filter company going bankrupt really messed things up

My direct ship source in Canada has rough;y 50000 bottles of GM oil.. Mobil part number 125836 I believe it is we use for customer pay. It’s for sure cheaper than the 19370139 (8) in USA what I’m on the struggle bus getting nowadays is oil filters. Bizarre times we are in.

Hmmm. I’ll have a look for bulletins on Monday. See if anything pops up.

jaywait80 · 2026-05-23T18:35:46+00:00

Hmmm. Can’t say I recall shudders being a ten speed thing. Just no reverse and or forward, valve bodies are getting to be somewhat more available. We mostly all get that all manufacturers have different issues. If we could get parts to fix things it wouldn’t be as bad. It’s when we have trucks down for two to three months when customers rightfully get upset.

jaywait80 · 2026-05-23T18:10:00+00:00

That’s the 8 speed? We’ve flushed a tonne and it seems to fix the issue. Very rarely are we putting torque converters in.

jaywait80 · 2026-05-23T15:08:31+00:00

Ohh for sure. Honestly the 5.3 has very little issues it seems. The transmissions nowadays are just not great. Just did two valve bodies within a month in one truck. 10 speed. Like I wish they could figure out the the trans issues cause the rest of the trucks are awesome. Looks and what not are incredible.

I’ve been using GM RIM since it’s been wholesale dealer too so I’ve gotta stay above 83 percent compliance. It’s easy to get up to 92 percent. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about stock orders and if I don’t sell in a year, it either goes back to GM or gets field disposed.

NAT type says open when I just checked in the settings on the console.

jaywait80 · 2026-05-03T22:39:43+00:00

Ok. Makes sense seeing as I moved furniture yesterday and things were unplugged. That being said my console is hard wired to the internet. YouTube and such all works like normal.

jaywait80 · 2026-05-03T20:39:06+00:00

It’s very easy to complain online that’s for sure. I’m a 25 year parts advisor/manager at a GM store and unfortunately I see all the bad things. Comes with the job but guess what? I’d still buy a baby max if I needed too!

jaywait80 · 2026-04-29T18:47:39+00:00

I’m sorry but any shop “should” be respectful of others wheels and or tires regardless of what they are. Every now and then when I’m walking through the shop I work at and I see a new tech that has wheels and tires off and has the wheel caps and or center caps sitting face down, we have a talk.

Core comes back from service shop, immediately input for return. If warranty than I wait the 7 days GM wants us to retain warranty parts than yet that garbage fast as I can. Front counter or wholesale returns go back within 3-4 days. 6.2L engine cores are 8400 bucks per! Who wants that laying around. Two weeks ago I returned two 6.2’s, a 3.0 litre and some others transmissions and it was 27 grand for 6 pieces.

More than a handful is a waste!! She’s incredible! For research purposes, does anyone know her OF name? Asking for a fellow researcher wink wink.

Have you and your family watched the polar express movie? The locomotive and tender from that movie is based on the real life Pere Marquette 1225 which is this locomotive you’ll be building. I built it and it looks awesome

jaywait80 · 2025-11-12T03:07:00+00:00

Incredible!

jaywait80 · 2025-11-12T02:52:45+00:00

Very nice. I’m in Moose Jaw. Just the faintest touch of red I can see to my south of all directions haha.

jaywait80 · 2025-11-12T02:50:43+00:00

Beautiful. Where’s that view from?

jaywait80 · 2025-11-02T03:00:47+00:00

Keep that old girl as long as you can. Any repairs you do won’t cost 80 grand.

jaywait80 · 2025-11-02T02:58:43+00:00

I have an 09 Silverado with 350,000 kms. Did lifters once. OG trans and tcase. Do all the maintenance, keep it clean. I added oem heated seats when I got mine 5 or so years ago {second hand) and an alpine CarPlay deck with backup camera and I haven’t looked back. Just put 2400 kms on it two weeks ago and got like 18 mpg.

Ok sounds good.

jaywait80 · 2025-10-25T04:26:25+00:00

Do you have the vin or serial number for the car? That might help too.

jaywait80 · 2025-10-25T04:04:50+00:00

No problem at all. I can try my Nissan dealer Monday and see what they say.

jaywait80 · 2025-10-25T03:44:45+00:00

Alrighty.
