Here it is April 16, and the temp in Western PA was 88 degrees.  After all the rain we had this past weekend I may have to mow the grass twice today!!!   LOL   :D

 

It's supposed to be in the 80's again tomorrow and then some rain rolling in later...  I guess I'll enjoy it while I can!!!

Its been hotter than #### here yesterday and today.  I just hate this so early in the year, what is summer going to be like?  88 degrees both days and plenty humid.  Wish I could be home planting corn these nice days, but thats not going to happen.

I want to take the cover off the central AC but I refuse to do that in April....  Humid is not the "word" JP,  "Obsessively Humid" is more like it...

It's 90* here right now, at almost 8: 00 PM.  :D   Don't know what it was in the middle of the afternoon, but it was up there.

 

BTW, we've been mowing grass for over a month now.  :D

Heck those temps are cold, we already broke 100 in a couple of places around here already.  Though today it wasn't so bad, only 80ish cause of a major hurricane wind storm we had yesterday that brought cooler air.  Even this weather is out of norm for this desert he!!.   ??? Usually we won't get into the hundreds until June, so this means it will be a horrible summer with the 120 + days coming real soon. :D  :angry:

It was 70 out at 7AM when I drove to school.  Supposed to get up to 80 today.  Monday when I got out of school at 2 it was 91 degrees out!!  I was in jeans, I hate this heat, its not to bad if I'm in shorts but I'm down to one pair until I can get to the store today.  This is the middle of April, I'm gonna hate this summer, at least my trucks A/C is blowing out frigid air, I put a meat thermometer from work in my vent the other day, my A/C's coming out at 20 degrees F.

Hot as #### here today again.  More humid than yesterday.  :D    It's supposed to start raining tonight and rain for a day or too, but the temp is supposed to stay high.  So it'll be really humid here between storms.  And there is no A/C in my dorm except on the first floor, it sucks!!

      Thank You Another JR, I watched the transmission temp the highest was 214, the engine temp seemed normal.  Hoping not a valve body issue, but...

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Z45 · Posted

      dexos began as an effort for GM to control the oil change market because the Quick Lube Industry was eating into dealer service department profits big time. So they attempted to get other oem’s to develop standards as well and that would make it hard for Quick Lubes to compete because all the oems would be different. GM faced lot of industry push-back, mostly the quick-lube industry and they went to licenses. Still GM it making a ton of money (est'd 30-40 million in 2025) off the license structure as they charge a hefty fee to get oil tested then require a royalty on ALL gallons sold applicable to GM vehicles.

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

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

      By newdude · Posted

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
