Yah sure, I have a big dog too.

You remind of one of those NASCAR knuckle draggers, or the guys at the truck pulls that gets a few beers in and want to fight every guy with a Ford T-shirt. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned NASCAR since Toyota won the championship last year.

You must live in Duramax heaven, or you may only know 2 guys that own them. I guess you never heard of the injector harness issues, dual mass flywheel failures, head gasket failures, high pressure pump failures, lower ball joint failures, front hub failures, Allison transmission input shaft failures. They are prone to head gasket failure because the engine makes a tone of torque and the all aluminum Isuzu block flexes too much.

Toyota trucks have the best resale value for a reason, and used cars aren't valued or sold based on advertising geared towards their new car sales. A new 4Runner SR5 TRD sells for about $60K, a new Tahoe LTZ Z71 sell for about $65K, a Yukon Denali is about $70K, 2 years down the road the Toyota still sells for close to new price, while the GM products sell for a $20K loss.

As for your horsepower claims, the 22RE in my son's 4Runner is rated at 150BHP, the Vortec in my Tahoe is rated at 255BHP. When you consider the Tahoe weighs 5200 and the 4Runner weighs 3500, the 4Runner has almost the same power to weight ratio.

My Duramax is a bone stock LLY, nothing more than a KN air filter, a one piece flywheel and Centerforce clutch for mods.

I also drive a Chevy with over 250K miles on it, but it's a utilitarian POS Tahoe that is basic transportation. It gets me back and forth to work but it's on it's 4 set of front hubs, second transmission, I can't remember how many sets of brakes, and the typical Chevy heater controller, heater motor, heater blend actuator, heater blower resistor problems all Chevy trucks have, and it has a bad case of the Chevy Shake at speeds over 75mph.

One could argue they are bb players and they need to keep their knees in top shape.


Nah, they are just practicing for when b-ball finally goes bankrupt like much of woke Hollywood... Still gotta get that money one way or another...
 
Soo... It's a toilet really short people can use in relative comfort?
That is funny! I'm really short 5'4" and my neighbors are both a lot taller than me. She's 5'10 he's 5'11". I was contracting overseas and she oversaw the remodel of my bathrooms. As a result I have two toilets that I can barely flat foot when sitting and an extra big bathtub that I can only touch the end if if I almost completely flat lol
 
I think it does. Kneeling on a hard surface puts undue stress on the knee cap which can lead to injury during the game.

But the correct response to that is don’t kneel in the first place.
But, they are “fighting” for equal rights - what’s a little pain under those circumstances? Wonder how much of their “paltry” salaries are going to support BLM? Or are they just “mouth”?

Actually all the Duramax's I've been around were work trucks. Beat to death and they just kept going. We tried foreign trucks. Couldn't keep transmissions or axles in them.

Plus, the Japanese support terrorism!

Are towels at NBA games white or black? I haven’t seen any black towels, ever. Towels at athletic events are white. They were kneeling on towels. You are creating a racial issue where there isnt one

That sounds strange to me. I've never heard of anyone doing that before. 🙄
