Supposed to just be lotsa rain up here in NH last I looked. I'll shuffle some things around and make space for the truck in the barn to keep it safe from falling branches but I already got canned soup and the house has a 175 gal pressurized tank for water so I'm good.

 

 

Also have 800-1000 rounds each of 9mm and .45 in case anyone wants to try and take that stuff from me. :)

Best of luck to everyone on the East coast. We had a storm Memorial weekend with 80 mph winds that only lasted 30 minutes that caused alot of damage, can't even imagine what you guys are going to go through.

 

God be with you.

Just gonna put some gas in the truck....get a few groceries....clean the rain gutters on the house.....almost forgot, a stop at the liquor store. I heard something about 100 mph winds in my area of Connecticut :) I won't believe it till it happens

Prepping up here in NH as well. Seems like this could either be a horrible disaster or nothing. Can't determine which at this point.

Central Mass. here. I heard this morning that the eye is supposed to go right over us.

 

we got some extra water, filled both gas tanks. Got some propane for the grill and some coleman gas bottles for the coleman stove just in case.

 

we will take in the pool toys and patio furniture then just sit and wait.

I grew up near Belvidere NJ and lived right on the Delaware River.

I remember Andrew, I was a kid yet so I don't remember the details of the strength when it hit up there but I believe this is going to be stronger and more direct.

 

Prepare and stay safe.

I live in Maryland, on an island in the middle of the Bay. We're only a few feet above sea level. I got my generator running, going to the store going to get some bottled water. Tonight I'm moving most of my stuff to the second floor.

 

The county that I live in has issued a volunteer evacuation order.

 

The last major hurricane, Isabel, did some minor flooding, got to keep the sump pump running.

Wife and kids are in Eastern NC and I am seeing that they should be getting tropical storm winds only. I am praying that is it as i am a long ways away and they had some nasty tornadoes hit in April not far from the house, so we dont need any more nasty weather to come down on us.

 

You guys further up the coast, be safe and I hope this thing dont turn nasty on any of us. I will cross my fingers for all of us.

Just starting to see it here in NH. Raining a bit and fairly windy. Power has been on and off. Nothing special yet, just another storm.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
