Do you ever see anyone else out on the lake?

I can't imagine how frustrating it is to knock 4 (?) off the post and lose the game.

Vasilevskiy was amazing last night. He stole the show far and away!

Just don't know if that D guy is available anywhere. Who should they go after? They might have to wait until the trade deadline for some names to come available.

They won't be able to afford Gardiner either as an unrestricted free agent.

Pretty sure the pick up tube connection can be accessed. I wouldn't attempt to change the oil pump myself.

Thanks, I might try that over the holidays.

The pan isn't the problem, it's having to drop the front diff that has me avoiding it.

I doubt that would happen where I live.

Some people have too much money if they spend it on something like this. Not saying it won't work, but are we fishing or do we want a device to fish for us?

Not sure why Babcock likes Gardiner so much.... I know the guys has talent, but like Oggie, said he has problems with brain gas.

I hear you about being stranded, but still a struggle to put the money out.

Thanks DanD. That's not as bad as I thought. Someone quoted me $1500, might ask around now. I'm actually keeping my eyes open for another truck also.

It gets pretty scary when driving on the 401 in T.O. and see so many people on there phones. It sure happens in the smaller towns too.

Geez, I just put in a bottle of Lucas Oil Stabilizer on the weekend. Do you mind if I ask the going rate should be to drop the oil pan in this vehicle?

Unfortunately, I don't think the oil pump can be changed through the oil pan. It sits in front of the timing chain. I think I am going to cross my fingers that it lasts a while and start looking for another vehicle.

The mechanic actually wired in some diodes to trick the sensor into thinking that the volts aren't dropping to the voltage that triggers the warning sound. It's such a shame because it's evident that the vehicle was cared for and maintained well (other than this). I have never seen any sludge during oil changes, even when I cleaned it with seafoam (not to say that there isn't an internal issue like Fisherman indicated). Everyone that has worked on the vehicle comments on the good condition. I do agree with you on the worn out oil delivery system aplumma. All too much for me to do, maybe I can find someone to drop the oil pan for less and try the simple fix of the o-ring. Replacing the vehicle is obviously the best option and I will be looking into that also. I appreciate the responses, thanks!

I did look at that video Ohio, thanks.

Boston and Halak have gotten into their heads. They should have played the whole game like they did in the third.

Just going to throw this out there and maybe get some pointers. I have owned this truck for 3 years. Had the oil pressure warning go off at idle the first summer I owned it. I changed out the oil pressure sensor and changed the oil. It solved the problem to some degree. That warning would go off again at around 5000 km after the oil change. I would change the oil and again solve the problem of the warning sound going off, the pressure seemed to read low at idle still, but no sound. Recently the oil change would not solve it and the warning sound was going off at 40 km/hr. There is no knocking or noisy lifters coming from the engine at idle. I had brought it in to get checked and it was determined that the pressure is dropping after a manual pressure test with a gauge. So, $560 later I know the pressure is dropping at idle and they wired the sensor to trick it so the warning sound wouldn't drive me crazy. That was another brand new sensor installed from GM (I had just replaced the senor with an aftermarket one). They put in 15w40, which I have since changed out (wasn't comfortable with the thick oil in the cold) and added a bottle of Lucas. I have thoughts that the o-ring on the oil pick going into the pump up might be a problem, but they want $1500 to drop the oil pan and replace the pick up and o-ring. I would do this myself, except for the fact that the front diff has to be loosened to drop the pan. Tough when laying on my back at my age. It was suggested that I just put in a used running engine for approximately $3000. One of my concerns is that I replace the engine and then the tranny goes. I am rambling a bit, sorry. So, one of my questions is, shouldn't I be hearing noise from the engine if the engine is breaking down? The truck is in great shape for it's age and it has 360,000 on the Vortec 5.3. Any suggestions, tips, pointers or past experiences would be appreciated. I feel like I'm driving on borrowed time. Thanks Jimmer

I forgot about Kadri. They might not have to protect Liljegren. No use worrying about any of this now, it's all speculation on who will be with the team at that point.

I would have to say that I see quite a few things that might interest me but I don't pursue them because of the distance between me and the seller. I tend not to post things because of this reason also. I find it much easier and successful to post on local sites. Just my thoughts. Oh, I have purchased items that have been listed on the classified section.

Drifter is right, because the Leafs will probably have a different lineup by that time. However, this is when a team loses a player like Hyman, Brown or Johnnson after investing time into their development.

Thanks for clarifying that.
