Fun stuff today.  Wake up to more snow.  

 

I changed my oil this morning and i went driving to warm the engine up.  First intersection i came to i went sliding abs kicked in and i stopped.  Kinda scary.  Put it in auto 4wd and never slid again

 

Hey Lane did you hear about the roads in chicago they closed today?  Every major road in the chicagoland and northwest indiana area had at least 1 accident

Ryan,

 

This is absurd!  I realize March is a turning point so you tend to have questionable weather but it's generally going from bad to good.  So far it's gone from winter to, well, winter!  :)

 

Yea out west by me, the Elgin-O'Hare had an accident by Irving Park Rd..  Route 83 around 290 had a rollover semi accident, 90 had another, etc, etc.

 

Seems as though everyone else besides myself is gearing up for spring but obviously mother nature isn't doing the same!

 

According to Michelle Leigh on Fox (hubba, hubba) we are due for some possible accumulating snow next week too!     :angry:

Well the first intersection I came to had three accidents that had pulled off to the side of the road, none looked to bad.  I saw a Focus going the opposite direction...sideways...  Had a Camry all most run into my trailer hitch, almost gave me a heart attack!!!  Jon you know why that would happen.

I told you joe, they see that freshly painted trailer hitch and they automatically go for it.  Just like birds at a car wash :)

 

 

I woke up this morning and went upstairs to get some breakfast and upon seeing the white stuff on the ground I muttered WTF.  Not too bad driving into work, everyone seems to learn how to drive by the end of the season.  I almost slid into a fence post when I pulled into the parking lot at work.  The back entrance to work is horrible, all shady and ice covered during the winter, but it beats weaving between everyone trying to pull in and out.

We got snow this morning.  My friends at work mentioned they saw quite a few cars (mustangs) in the ditch.  One was some 20ft off the road next to a fence........no tire tracks.   :)

 

I didn't notice a slick spot anywhere.   ???

At noon today it was blue sky and 50 degrees.  At 2:00 it was white-out conditions.  It's going down to about 12 degrees tonight.

 

The migratory birds have all returned and the Maple trees have buds.  They are in for a "collddd" night!!!

It is about 80 or so here already, which means in about a month we will be breaking a hundred  :angry: Stupid desert.  But I am kinda glad that I don't have ice to contend with, otherwise all that cold weather sounds nice, I am already sweating too much just from steping outside. :)

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
