Just to close the loop - had a great time at the Glen! Ended up running R12 fronts and R10 rears. It was mid 90s most of the day and... -
Hack replied to the thread Battery went out yesterday 3 months after purchase, settings..Cars get better fuel economy when the alternator doesn't work very hard. Older cars would charge at a much higher rate than newer cars do.

They fucked up for sure. I got rid of my 6.2 Sierra (earlier one) because it had the trash 8 speed with it. Ugh. Loved that engine though.

Hack reacted to horsepower addiction's post in the thread Help about 5w-20, 5w-30, 5w-40 and 5w-50 oil with Like.
This is correct. The 5w30 starts out as a 5 weight. A 5 weight cold is thicker than a 30 weight warm. So it’s as thick as a 5 weight oil...
