Topic

GM says its normal and nothing to worry about. I've seen(heard) some that make an awful racket when cold then quiet down when warm and run fine.

It is an issue, but, it depends on who you talk to weather its a PROBLEM or not. Opinions vary greatly. Get an independent mechanic to look it over (not the dealer). Getting the dealer to throw in a warranty would be good insurance.

Not all the 5.3 and 6.0's do it, but, many do.

Sorry, Grinder. My bad.

I should read the whole location of the thread before I get excited. I always wanted one of those Odyssey ATV's. ATV - SUV (minivan), same thing, right?

I was about 12 or so and spent a couple of weeks with the sis and b-in-l on the farm. I got to do some horse pasture brush hogging with what I thought at the time was the hugest tractor in the world (JD 4020 I think it was).

The thing I most remember was that the shifter on the right side of the steering wheel had the most complicated pattern I've ever seen. When I was done hogging it took me 5 minutes to get the shifter into "park" from the working gear. I thought it was really cool to have a gas pedal and a throttle lever! Also was my first diesel experience.

My roomate at school uses starband at his home. His comment has been that download may be faster than dialup, the upload speed (from your computor to someone else)can be as slow or slower. The two directions of data travel may have very differant speeds.

I just did the 50hr service on my BX2230 yesterday and the capacity listed in my manual is 2.7 Quarts. That's about what I put in and with the filter changed it showed at the bottom of the marks on the dipstick.

I read somewhere that the only way to get this apart is from the top. Remove fenders/floor and take it apart from there.

I have heard of the epoxy based floor paints, but never as "aircraft hangar" floor paint. Most hangars I have been in have bare concrete, with oil stains for decoration.

Okay, one is carpeted (really) but that's just a little silly.

...untill you shut the machine off and it cools down. Then the foam is just in the way.<br>
<br>
The only real cure here is to get the machine into a shed or garage. Weather or not that is practical, is up to you and your budget. Perhaps just a decent canvas cover made for the machine will help keep out some of the moisture.

Bagger works great. I use it for grass and leaves, never a problem. If you set the deck low and rev the motor up, you can darn near suck the sod out of the ground. lol

One down side is the installation of the unit. This can be a real bear. I was forwarded some instructions and I incorporated them into my website. Link below. Every unit seems to be a bit different, so you will need to experiment with it a little.

DeTwang: To learn to weld AL with a gas torch, contact your local EAA (Experimental Aircraft Assoc.) chapter and ask those folks. They are always putting on seminars and classes on that type of stuff.<br>
<br>
It is possible to create some beautiful aluminum welds with a gas torch, but there are "tricks" and some special tools to make it work right. The old (now retired) welding instructor at my tech school had a set of green tinted goggles for this purpose, he said you could see the "melt" better (?). I've never done it, but I know it can be done.
