[Outlawthing]

Damn mechanic rusty. That’s my trade boss through and through. Ain’t scared to do anything mechanic related

 

[Rusty]

[Outlawthing]

I see that Tahoe back there my wife just got hers we ordered it ind

 

[Rusty]

Close. It’s a suburban. My family too big.

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s a diesel engine or gas? Gotta be diesel right?

 

[Poppy]

Turbo diesel

 

[Bigmurph6]

I thought so I saw the turbo on the side and the engine is enormous.
Look at the size of the oil pan lol it probably takes 12 quarts lol

 

[John]

Looks beautiful @Outlawthing

 

[John]

I dont know a lot either @Rusty but I do recognize some stuff about engines/diesels

 

[Rusty]

Ya. Same here. I can build you a house but can’t work on cars. At least not alone. Lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

Your definitely learning doing all your maintenance on your truck yourself

 

[Rusty]

I use to have a diesel truck. Actually 3 of them. Loved them. A dirty max and two Cummins. Ever since they added all the crazy environmental crap I stopped buying them too expensive to start nowadays and money pits. @Bigmurph @Outlawthing @John

By 2035 everything will supposedly be electric only well atleast only new cars will all have to be electric moving forward. Alot of money to be made if this really happens old collectible gas powered sports cars especially will explode in price.
I just can’t see fararri and porshe only making electric cars though its crazy.

I love the big 3500 dually diesel trucks pain in the ass in a parking lot but great to drive and tow with can’t beat a diesel. Gasoline engines are garbage compared in my opinion.

My side gig is building two models of older naturally aspirated BMW engines for racing and high end street cars. It’s hard for me to believe that that business won’t continue for decades to come. Too many collectors.

 

[Rusty]

Stupid thing about electric is that they use fossil fuel to produce electricity. It’s the only way to do it without losing money. Wind and solar ain’t enough and are subsidized by government to make them profitable from my understanding. I don’t know much about nuclear power though.

 

[Poppy]

Nuclear power is the shizzle BUT when something goes sideways it’s catastrophic AND major problem getting rid of all the depleted stuff.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yes it will definitely be big business but 20yrs pass and its 2055 gas cars will be almost extinct because they build everything like garbage nowadays so the cost will go up so fast once the change is made I will start hording spark plugs lol

 

[herrubermensch]

Geothermal is really the only reliable base-load non-fossil fuel powered source of energy besides nuclear. Wind and solar are episodic (as Texas learned painfully back in February). Why we don’t concentrate on geothermal, I don’t know. But it’s a very minor component of renewable energy.

2055…I’ll be long gone!
