I just want to remind everyone today is election day and you should make sure to get out and vote before the day is over. As Americans it is both an honor and a priveledge to have this oppurtunity and it shouldn't be taken for granted. PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS POLITICS/VIEWS/CANDIDATES IN THIS THREAD. This is simply a reminder to take advantage of one of our many rights as Americans. Have a good day.

But.... DONT VOTE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE VOTING FOR!!!

 

Not a political argument, just a statement. IMO blindly voting without doing research on the candidates and knowing what they stand for IS worse than not voting at all.

Although I believe every American citizen should have the right to vote, I think Hank Hill says it best. "I just think if you don't read the newspaper, and the only TV you watch is the MTV, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote." :lol: Seriously though I agree with Matt.

Then you should never rejoice or complain about anything when it comes to any action that Government takes at any level. After all, you've chosen not to care about voting, so you don't care about the outcome. And to think there are places in this world that people would love to have the chance to vote and have a say in how they will live their lives, yet they don't have the opportunity to vote.

 

You have a good life in this country because of this right that has been protected and preserved for you. Apparently other US citizens care more than you to exercise that right.

 

Have a good life just going with the flow and not making any ripples.......

I find it kind of ironic that people have such animosity towards others who express their freedom to CHOOSE not to vote. Isn't this their right? Kind of any oxymoron to "force" someone to vote on the premise that its their "right" to vote, isn't it?

 

I don't care who votes and doesn't vote since we live in a country where we're free to make that decision. What I do care about is that those who vote are educated about what they're voting for since pulling that lever has a direct effect on the other citizens of our country. $.02

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
