Is it just me or are gas prices back on the rise.  Last week I filled my Mom's van up for 1.13/gallon, and a few days ago the Mobil that I use exclusivly is up to 1.39/gallon.  Does anyone know the reason for the increase?  What are prices by you currently?

I just read that they are starting the switch back to summer grade gas. This may have something to do with it.  ???

Haven't you all been watching the news????

 

It's almost price-gouging season again!!  Seems the station owners don't need to get a license for this, they just start jacking the prices up in the spring and keep 'em there until fall.  I know I always feel like I've been shot, stuffed and mounted after filling up during vacation season.  At least the new beast gets a lot better mileage than my 454 gasser did.

The excuses I heard were "summer blend", "more people traveling", and "the economy is recovering ".   OPEC is trying to maintain an approx price of $25 barrel, so theoretically gas prices should level off now because that is what the price of a barrel is right now.  Realistically though the oil companies will probably raise their prices another $0.25 so they can line their pockets some more...  :angry:

That's how much I paid for a tank of gas the other day -- $25.  I think it was 1.19/gal.  I should've gotten a whole damn barrel for that price.

$90 for 22 gal. What a crock of shit. I guess it's better than the $110 I paid last week. It is $3.85 to $3.99 around here. :uhoh: I would be happy to see $2.00 a gallon again.

I feel better, I just filled up the Cavalier on $3.67 a gallon, but compared to the original thread, that is way to damn expensive

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.

      PPE Transmission Pan Install

      By GMC4Zee · Posted

      With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
