A number of places i did mine thru Boat US Foundation They are recognized by the US Coast Guard and NYS

Yup takes hours to do online , I did it yesterday . Scored 98 Its a series of different like 50 page study pages for like 6 or 7 different category's Then a 10 question test at the end of every section

Not sure

Yup that’s what I said in my post , doesnt make sense

So in 2025 anyone operating a boat will need to have a NYS boaters license . Except people renting a boat , which in true NY fashion , makes no sense

Isn’t it getting kinda late ?

No , he wrote it in 2018 for Clint Eastwood and the movie The Mule but it sure rang true for TK

Haven’t seen in in weeks now

That’s fine , I believe the three largest tranny experts near me , I also know several who own the same truck as me and have had the TC convertor failure . Pretty sure the guys that are in the business may know just a little more than the internet guy And if your Transmedic isn’t telling you the real issue with the TCs or perhaps he doesn’t even know … I suggest he educates himself because it’s a well know issue with the springs breaking and running metal thru the tranny pump and valve body .. Let’s face it , they are both garbage TCs , replace now or gamble .. Give a call to any or all of the three I listed .. They have done thousands , avg 4 a week ! Both 6 and 8 So yup , these are the guys I’m gonna believe , none have any reason to lie and the one shop is a personal friend of mine I’ve know 30 yrs ! What’s the name of your friends shop ? Have a great day

No it’s both , and it’s the springs in the TC , I’ve talked to three different shops , all said the same Terrys Speedy Bracys im also on several gm forums and it’s both the 8 and 6 speeds All kinds of miles but most seem around 70k I did the thermostat delete a couple years ago..but that doesn’t help the springs breaking , the new replacement TCs don’t have springs . they now find they are not needed im at 41k

So I have a 2017 with 41k miles , my tranny seems to be having issues when going into lockup . I have a friend that owns a tranny shop and is very good. I talked to him and told him my issue .. he said “if it wasn’t for. Heavy we would be out of business” He said they see three to four a week. Issue is the torque converter springs are weak and let lose and chew up the tranny and send metal through the whole thing . He said they wave seen them from 24k miles on up to 100k or more . He said if we catch it before it’s a replacement TC , the new ones don’t have the springs because they are not needed .. cost 1500 If it blows then it’s like 5 k rebuild .. Have any of you that own one seen issues ?

I always thought there were only a couple real trouble makers here . Most were here to offer help and act respectful .

I remember seeing part of Skaneateles frozen from the south end heading north ,and seeing people go to the edge of it and fish the open water

I use the Razor Sharp system of cardboard wheels i still have my stones but this is much faster and I can do a razor edge in minutes

Where’s the best place to buy them ? if I do eBay how do I know for sure they are viton

Nope haven’t seen a thing However I wouldn’t doubt it ..assume it would be hard to enforce .. People better start waking up

I have a stand in that ridge line now , killed two bucks there this year and see lots of does.. that whole field IS golden rod with a roadway all the way around it you can see in the one photo there is a gravel bed at 1:00/ 2:00 The only issue with that whit spot is in watching a golden rod field , and it gets tall. Now maybe if I mow some paths thru it ?

The more I think about it the more I’m thinking out it in the woods watching a golden rod field doesn’t sound like a good thing even if I mow a 1/2 acre in the middle with trails going to it

That’s why I’m thinking of mowing a 1/2 acre in the center of it and mow a path from the woods to it

The new stand is for next year . Lots of sign , rubs , and I hunted the area this year and saw lots of deer. Killed two bucks on the upper blue dot , killed two there last year too. I was just thinking of an additional spot to not keep using the same stand Maybe I’m better off putting it where the lower blue dot is in the woods if you look one of those ag field fingers comes very close to the property line so maybe just south of that lower blue dot closer to the line

Fields are rotated , beans and corn .west prevailing winds, yes the creek bed is in deep ravine , it’s walkable though . No oak trees . Some brushy fragmities by the creek .. I think they bed in the golden rod Rifle and crossbow

I’m thinking they bed in the goldenrod and if I brushog off a big area and plant clover , that may be my food plot

Yea I’m good with neighbors both north and south . Ive always hunted in the woods but I’m sure they bed in that golden rod
