In reality, every time you get into your vehicle you can die, nobody even thinks about that.

 

On the contrary, with today's drivers (I do mean ALL of them), this is foremost on my mind, especially when I've got the kids in the back seat.

i recently watched a very legit documentary on this crap, explaining how advanced the mayans actually were. which is amazing to tell you the truth, they constructed pyramids with better accuracy than they can today! BUT it went on to explain that when they made their calender, their was no such thing as daylight savings time yet. so if we calculated and recorded time like the mayans(and other civilizations) did it would almost be year 2014 or something. its all a bunch of BS as far as im concerned.

 

 

I think thats how the last guy predicted the end of the world. Supposedly, it was all gonna end on May 21st 2011.

 

Dont know what we are all worried about anyway. According to the Superbowl commercials, all us bowtie boys (and girls) will survive.

The Mayans were only able to construct such pyramids with the help of ancient aliens....everyone knows that.

Give me a break. The Mayan calendar will roll over just like the Gregorian calendar did on January 1, 2000. Just like Chevyboy86 said above the Mayans did not calculate how many days in a year correct, and we could go on and on.

 

 

 

Good Point on mentioning the Gregorian Calender. The construction of the Mayan Calender predates the construction of the Gregorian system. An important difference is that the Gregorian Calender includes Leap Years. Mayan Calender does not. I did the math once....will have to do it again. But I know if you think of a Year as 365.25 days (Modern), and not simply 365 days (Mayan) ...there's a big discrepancy. If we followed the Mayan system, the current date would already be well into 2013 because of all the extra (unaccounted-for) days that have added up over the past many hundreds of years. So this whole 2012 scare is futile because "Doomsday" has already passed.

I know how they built the pyramids. They didn't have a computer, cellphones, television to distract them. All they had to do was kill and cook their food, procreate, and make a roof over their head.

 

While we spend most of our time looking down, they spent most of their time looking up. Just a thought.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
