    You got the spirit.

    Sounds healthy. What we talking about when we say “6.0” now?

    It’s the LS2 aluminum block, a 4.005 inch bore and 3.622 inch stroke, 364 cubic inch motor. They came in Corvettes and GTO, and iron versions like the LQ4, LQ9 and LY6 came in heavy duty trucks and vans. The LS2 is almost 100 lbs lighter than the 5.3 in it now. They make power easier than a 5.3 just like a 15 liter diesel engine does over a 13 liter.

    Put the big pills in and give her hell!!:thumbup:

    A buddy I used to race with had an old beater LeMans. I can't remember if it was a 350 or 400. He was trying his best to blow that motor up! No matter what he did that thing hung in there. He would sit idling and push the nitrous button and the motor would rev. He would hold it on the floor and neutral bang it throw it in neutral while holding it full throttle let it red line and slam it back in gear! Lol! When you try to blow it up it'll just hang on forever!

    Long Friday. Day started out with a 0545 breakfast meeting at a local diner to see what we can do to try to get another person who's not going to be a diva and quit after three months.

    Seems we're going to try to train someone from the ground up.

    We'll see how that goes.

    How am I going to become a scumbag outside salesman if we can't keep a mo'fugga around?

    Y’all hiring again, eh? o_O

    We bringing in 8 next week, apparently. Don’t know how many empty trucks we got but apparently we got 8...

    Had a guy in the yard this morning, been here two months, and complaining about quitting because his truck is having issues and needs to go to the dealer Monday for warranty fixes.


    Just smiled and walked away.

    In Valleyview, AB at the J. They don't have showers here and I stopped here for a shower. :(

    Oh well, Acheson it'll be tomorrow for sure. Only problem with trucking in Canada is finding a decent place to shower and park overnight.

    Got in there, loaded and tarped and out in just less than 2 hours. $100 for the work and that's over $50/hr. I'm really enjoying my job.
