Life has ups & downs. Any relationship has that. Have been lucky to be married almost 25 years, it has not been easy. My wife was diagnosed with MS, so we cannot do allot of things we used to do. Sometimes you think you have problems until you hear other peoples problems. Have learned that sometimes you need to step away from situations & give yourself a little time instead of just Blirting something out in the heat of the moment. But also understand, some people, no matter what you do, are just miserable, unhappy, people that you cannot change.

Hey, marriage has its highs and lows. Whether it's worth saving depends on a lot of things. I accept that some guys think putting up with a certain amount of unpleasantness is balanced by other redeeming factors. useless.gif

Two words us men need to remember if we want to have a happy wife. "Yes, Dear."

Me? No...and perhaps for the best...I still live on YOUPLANET :D

 

My parents live in different states...for the better.

 

My sister seems to ride a rollercoaster with her baby daddy.

 

I am far from anything beggining to consider starting to resemble an inkling of experience in the field, but if you want it to last, look for that someone like you will be stuck with them forever.

 

Hope you can get it worked out. Or can get out.

I'll never understand staying in relationships that have constant arguing. Or why women feel the need to control men's hobbies

Never really saw the point in getting married. You can be perfectly happy with someone without having to sign a contract with them.

Simple. Commitment and integrity and vows means something to some of us. We live in a world where it is acceptable now to simply throw something away like a marriage when something goes wrong instead of giving our best efforts to make something right when both still have the desire to make it work out. Compromise is not a bad thing.

Your personal experiences will influence your views on marriage. I have had a very positive experience lasting 40 yrs and excellent role models with in-laws and my parents. I liked sharing the experience of raising a family and I adore having grandchildren! I know I was fortunate to find a partner that likes being married to me as much as I like being married to her. The only suggestion I can think of for the OP is a gm truck forum may not be the best source for relationship advice! If you seriously want guidance with your relationship, speak to someone you know and trust or a professional in this field.

I don't remember any "contracts" only a commitment, and a devotion of my life to a partner that I promised to spend the rest of my days with. She made that very same commitment, a promise, a 'vow'. We vow things that we take most seriously.

 

Mine was to my soulmate, one that I'll never be without, not as long as I'm breathing.

 

Of course nowadays we are on the heels of the second generation coming from the times where our president told the youth that he wasn't having sex, (because it didn't involve both of them in the traditional sense) and they've sense grown up, and have children that have (almost) grown up all hinging on those words, that 'sex' is not SEX.

 

And that's like saying "I'm a little bit pregnant". No such thing as a 'little bit'.... you are either in all the way, or you are NOT.

 

Marriage is something that you're in all the way on, even when it doesn't feel like it. Don't have to give up on your 'space', or your 'hobbies', or your 'time', just remember that there is always a time and place for both of you to have them all. :-)

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
