Gentlemen!!!
I cannot thank you enough for sharing the transcription of your due diligence in this forum!!! I have spent many hours reviewing a small sum of the fantastic body of work contained and retained here, and I am *astounded* at the comprehensively extensive compilation of experience that represents so many hours of effort and exertion. Thanks everyone for taking the time to share such pivotal and profoundly beneficial data!!!
I'm an Ironworker by apprenticeship with the International Union Brotherhood and I've been traveling the nation with my 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT Road Dog with the 4.2L LL8 i6 for the larger portion of the last 11 years. My skill set is somewhat of a mutated amalgamation of a number of focal points, from computer system building to wildcat/onsite tool machining/tempering to stick/mig/tig welding to a number of other aspects of heavy fabrication and joinery, as I'm sure many of the esteemed members of this community are as well.
Directly relating to my automotive experience and my time spent with the GMT 360 platform, I don't know how many hundreds of hours I've invested in maintenance and upkeep, and the education that has been resultant has certainly been a treasure. As a derivative aside, I've also spent a relatively small amount of time with the GMC G-Series platform, and a comparatively larger amount with the Ford T1 platform. The G-Series platform interaction was to "WIN" a superimposed 1968 302 cu in (4.9 L) Z28 V8 that had been stuffed into a 1986 GMC Rally STX. The Ford T1 time frame experience was directly relative to a Ford Expedition that lost it's marbles and rods somewhere near the end of 2009.
Circling back to the Trailblazing journey, since discovering the cast iron exhaust manifold had cracked somewhere in the neighborhood of 2015/2016, a different saga emerged for the course of what was an absolutely ironclad engine based on my attempt to remove and tig weld the cast iron manifold back into solvency, which I'll be noting and describing in my future posts.
I *Must* emphasize again,
I am honored to be a part of this community of fantastic dissertation and dialogue.
May we all find our own highest inner TDC's!!!
Respectfully,
