Hopefully, I will stop today. It'll be hard, but I can't wait to hand my grandson the carton of cigarette's I just bought this morning, and tell him to destroy them. The look on his face will be priceless. I better have the camera ready for that. He get's home from school at 4:00. The way I figure it, if I can quit, I'll be saving around $250. a month.

Hell yes!! On top of the health probs the cost is staggering.I'm gonna go to the market and maybe get some the gum for quitting.Maybe when I feel like a smoke I'll pop in a stick of gum. Three cheers for us,Jeff

Good luck guys! :thumbs:

 

Thank's Jeff, I'll need it. I've failed miserably at this before.

 

I stated before that I'd let my grandson destroy the carton I just purchased. A friend of mine just called me and asked if I could loan him some money for, you guessed it. I'll give him all but 2 pack's out of that carton, a long with a sermon, if I can do it, so can you.

I have about 1/4 tin left. Once that is gone, I'll join in the quitting efforts. I think having this thread near the top each day will help out :thumbs:

I just pm'd Gary. I told him that I have a good feeling about being able to pull this off. I'm starting to really get pumped up about quitting. I think I broke down when you said "PLEASE". :D

Great for you guys. I lost all four of my grandparents to cancer directly caused by tobacco. Three of them died before I was born, and the one that I did get to meet died when I was pretty young. My only memories of her are her going through chemo treatment, and suffering from emphysema.

I'm up for a go... I'm going to wait till friday after work for zero hour though.

 

I did do the chantix route earlier this summer and it did work while I was on the meds. I had some issues when the meds stopped, so if anyone is doing that I would suggest bringing up the topic of antidepressants with their doctor when they are going to get off of them. I did manage to be smokeless for 2 months though!!

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.
