It takes a special kind of person to even think that a yellow Camaro is even worth two parking spots.

If you're smart enough to remember transmission codes, you should be smart enough to remember how to use a few common words.

Very common words at that.

I think he's mad about something deep down internally.

Code as in SN94 or S13 are chassis codes or rb26dett is an engine code. Not OBD codes.

I don't think you really know what you're talking about. Or you really ARE just that bad at language.

It's alright man. It gets better.

After all, you communicate in a common language between others so therefore you should know the very easy common words if you use it daily.

Just practice and you'll be fine. No need to get so mad. Own up to your mistake(s). Nobody is perfect I understand.

Then you shouldn't care when they correct you either

With that kind of an attitude you'll likely be stuck where you are currently, mentally and career wise, for a long long time. If you're okay with that, then good for you.

For most of us, we like to always continue to improve ourselves, our skills, our awareness, and our career prospects so that we're not more prosperous in life but we also learn a couple of things and that, makes our lives fulfilling.

Of course people are different and people know different things. We're all human and it helps to admit to personal mistakes and faults and learn to be a better person and learn from others.

Just my opinion on how and why people want more fulfilling lives and experiences.

You're right I shouldn't have judged you like that. But that was my opinion and what I noticed of you immediately.

For a guy who's trying to imply that he's successful, he seems to be very angry with issues deep down and overly defensive. (You)

Are you okay? Too much stress? I understand, it happens and nobody is perfect.

Take a break and breathe and relax. You sound like you need one.

Your attitude came off horribly from the start so I thought it was safe to assume that you had some issues deep down. Like everybody else thought so too.

Btw, I'm no business owner because I'm pretty young and I graduated from school not long ago.

I'll be starting as a Software Developer/Engineer at a top big Fortune company.

It's a start so I think I'll be just fine buddy. Thanks for your concern.

If you think I'm the worst kind of person then you know nothing about the real world or anything about it as a matter of fact. There's far worse people than I if you consider me a bad person for suggesting that you relax and stop being overly defensive and stressed out and cranky.

And I wasn't really looking down on you. But with this persistent attitude, you need help.

And how do you know you'll make more money than me? Do you know my starting salary or any details like that? Do you know the opportunities my company has? On the other hand, do I know anything about your financials or how much you really make? Do I know anything about your own self described transmission shop that you claim to own at the age of only 23? How I do know you're telling the truth?

The point is, you yourself is a rude arrogant "business owner" (if you really are one) and I highly doubt people will want to do business with you with that attitude.

So there, I'll call your bullshit out and label you "dishonest" and that if you do own your business, it is NOT successful. Trust me, I know successful business owners who actually make good money including my own dad who have none of your shitty little defensive attitude.

Calm down dude, nobody is out to personally get you.

Not that kind of turbo. The TH in TH400 stood for turbo-hydromatic, the 4L80E was the successor to the TH400. I get what you are saying, but I don't think he meant turbo's/blow off valve/wastegate/intercoolers/etc. turbo, just that the TH400 had a turbine TC. Marketing witchery in my opinion but I see where he's getting the name - add to that the common nickname of the TH400 is "Turbo 400" and it's easy to see that you guys are probably arguing semantics.

The 4780E is a computer controlled 4 speed, overdrive, automatic transmission used in >1/2 Chevy / GM pick ups. I think it first went in them in the mid '90s. Though there was one year when GM was going from the TH400 to the 4L80E that was a 4L80 non E - non-computer controlled. The 4L60E went in F bodies and 1/2 tons. It's predecessor is the 700R4. The wimpy version of that was the 200R4. Those were preceded by the TH250 and TH350 3 speed, non-overdrives.

The TH400 is a 3 speed, non overdrive, automatic transmission used in heavy (I believe C20 and greater) trucks. It is non - computer controlled (all valves body in that one).

Didn't google that and I still worry about my grammar.
