Supposed to be a high of 100 today, then all the way down to 97 for high Sunday. Both with a *chance* of t-storms. Then right back up to 102 Monday according to Accuweather. Much better than it was though.

I was just in Laughlin NV. and Bullhead City AZ. on thursday. 113F. From there we went to Las Vegas where it was 111F. Years ago I lived in Bullhead and in July and August it gets over 125F on a regular basis. I was so glad to leave that part of the country on friday and even happier to be back in the P.N.W. Home sweet home.

Let me tell you all about some heat. I'm in MD and we just had a bad storm on Friday night. We lost power and therefore a/c. It has been upper 90's to low 100's and very humid since. I just got power back this afternoon. We stayed put and just dealt with the hot house. Luckily I have a basement and that provided some relief. I'm so thankful to have the power and a/c back.

At least its somwhat less humid there versus here in Georgia. I know that's no help for you as air conditioning isn't always available or reliable.

      Blend door actuator

      By Charly · Posted

      Trying to replace the temperature control, blend door actuator in my 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500, but can NOT get to it by just removing the under panel on passengers side. It seems like I will need to remove the side panel of the center console, or the entire center console just to get to it- can anyone offer instructions, pictures, videos… step by step so I can get this done!??!! It’s TOO HOT to be without AC!

      I am new to this… but I saw some of your replies to another person doing the same as me… trying to replace the temp control actuator in my 05 GMC SIERRA, And can NOT get to it… how do I get the center console panels off, do I have to take ALL of them off to get to it? 80481681120__F97CE005-C5E5-4FBF-9589-1388214E3586.MOV

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
