what is up with this constant building?  all of these new buildings, mostly office and fancy condos, are being built, but nobody moves into them.  then the builder builds more when they can't fill what is already built!!  this is retarded, and it is happening everywhere.  soon we will have no trees, just construction sites

Great ain't it.  I hope to be one of those contractors when I get out of school.  I don't know, might go into starter homes.

:thumbs:

I know what you mean though, there is a large unused Lowes here, along with several other unused properties....however there is a lot of new construction here too.  I don't know why the new Super Walmart couldn't use the old Lowes building, it is plenty big enough and smack dab in the middle of the new location and the old walmart location.

 

By the way any particular area up there this is happening?

It's just happening everywhere....there's no one way I can drive to get away from construction sites & big rigs hauling materials.  It's pretty crazy the way things are popping up.  I guess it's not just CA.

The thing that burns me is the way they always gobble up the best ground to build this crap on.  Its sickening the way they pour concrete over the best ground in the world just to build another damn Walmart when the old one was just find.  

 

Yet another reason I hate cities and everything associated with them.

I guess that came out wrong, yes, cities are needed, but it sure seems that lots of stupid people congregate in them.  This thread being a prime example, everyone is too stupid to utilize the land they already have developed and instead take more and more and more.  It seems as though they all hate green space and love looking at concrete.

true.  there are plenty of abandoned/dilapadated buildings that could be renovated or torn down instead of tearing up the undeveloped land that we are running out of

I like to see new buildings going up but only if they are houses, we are growing trees on our farm and we need the people to keep wanting trees so we can become rich rich I say (NOT) but use paper not plastic!!!!

Dittos JP....

 

I'm sick of all the development.  The "city" I live near has a population of around 27,000 and that's plenty big for me.  It still has a bit of small town hospitality with alot of good shopping, services and other activities and I live in a semi-rural area about 10 minutes away.  Luckily my father has a few nice-sized pieces of rural land where I can hunt, ride atvs and relax whenever I want.

 

One local spot near a deceased relative's home which was favorite hunting spot of mine as a teen is now a housing development with a golf-course being excavated.  Sad... :idontgetit:

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      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.

      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.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
