Hi guys. Well Valentine's is just around the corner and I need some ideas for my hubby. He just got Bully nerf bars, boy do they look good! I just need small ideas.

He's gonna get all the obvious things. :thumb:  :thumb:

He's the kind of guy who when you ask him what he wants he says, "Nothing, I have all I need." So...if you guys have any small suggestions I would be so happy to hear them.

If you live in a state that get's alot of sun you could buy him a dash mat......  Or you could buy him a new horn for the truck.

 

Just my .02 good luck..

I know exactly what I want from the girl I will be spending Valentines day with.  But it's probably not the type of answer you were looking for.    :uhoh:

Well besides the obvious like what Kansas Kid was trying to say (or at least i think he was  :uhoh:  )  

 

I would think he might like something that would match both his truck and his new steps such as maybe some bed rails or splash gaurds ?

 

If you really want to spend some dough get him a ranchhand front end replacment :D

Nothing says loving like a cool gift from JPCustoms.com  Can I recommend the steering wheel audio controls?  I mean, it's a gift that he'll use every day.

Ha, I can see Jason stealing that intro line for his website.

How's this?

 

A new holiday :

 

Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your

wife or girlfriend by showering her with  gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and

any other baubles that  women find romantic.

 

Secret...guys feel left out. That's right...left out. There's no special

holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation  for the men in their

life.  Men as a whole are either too  proud or just too embarrassed to

admit it.  Which is why a new holiday has been created.

 

March 20th is now officially "Steak & Blowjob Day."

 

Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created so

your ladies can have a day to show your man  just how much you love him. No

cards, no flowers, no special  nights on the town-the name of the holiday

explains it all...just a steak and a BJ. That's it. This twin pairing of

Valentine's Day and Steak & Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as

men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more

memorable March! It's like a perpetual love machine.

 

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little

push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and

peace to this crazy world!!!!!

Friz is the man  :thumb:  Seriously Batgirl try a set of Husky Liners. They go along way in protecting the interior of a truck. I have them in mine and wouldn't have a truck without them.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
