I can not believe it is really snowing here on Christmas Day.

 

 

Where are you in the South? It's sunny and going to be close to 70 here in N. Florida (about 50 miles S. of the GA border)

I guess that's the cold front headed this way. It's supposed to drop down to the 40's here in the next couple of days. Enjoy the snow!

Suppose to Charlotte here shortly, right now Hickory has snow, It will shut down most of the side roads if it sticks more than 2". Only thing they do here is through liquid salt brine on streets and plow the main highways.

You Northern Mississippians (yankees LOL) always get snow.

We never get snow around Jackson but it was actually snowing earlier today. Not cold enough to stick yet though. But I'm working today so it's a good thing. Mississippi folks CAN NOT DRIVE if the forecast even mentions Snow.

:rolleyes:

The last time it snowed in North Florida was 21 years ago. I was born a couple days after it happened. People suck at driving in Florida when its dry, so I never hope for snow. I don't really see why everyone is always excited about it. I loved that it was shorts weather for Christmas today.

I was stuck in my cabin in Pigeon Forge an extra day. Didn't get out until Monday afternoon. It started snowing Friday night and didn't seem to stop. I had no shovel, no chains, no 4 wheel drive, nothing. I dug the truck out with a piece of plywood i found and waited for the sun to melt the ice on the roads enough to get up the hill. They stopped plowing the road 1/2 mile from the cabin. Great adventure for a guy born and raised in Florida and only moved to Tennessee 2 years ago. But, i didn't wreck the truck or anyone else... got me and the wife home safely.

We were hoping for snow on Christmas Day, but we got it the next day instead. Not to often we get to see the white stuff here in Myrtle Beach.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
