I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Somehow I doubt the antimalarial drug boxes have COVID-19 related warnings on them...

That’s funny. You mean don’t take it you have covid 19? I like the drug that’s for regulating your heart rate with heart problems. It’s says don’t take if you’re pregnant. If you have heart failure you shouldn’t be pregnant. Some things are common sense, right?

Why can't women with heart trouble get pregnant?

None that you know about of course because you have tested all 300 for antibodies?  I guess we all get our "fact" out..............

Oh sure we had some hits on guys who've had it. Guess where they caught it from..... their own families, at home, just before the lock down, according to tracing. About 21 or so. We shut down initially just like everyone else. Then phone started ringing and we were requested to "fill  in" providing maintenance and major repair where needed when regular workers failed  to be present or when the work was beyond their capability. We assembled the groups of guys. In heavily infected areas we quarantined within our own crews. Rented blocks of rooms. In some areas trailers were used. Hired our own cleaning crews. Had food prepared and brought in. Testing has been on a regular schedule. If anyone even thought they didn't feel right, they stayed out for a few days and then tested. If we were going to get it or give it, it was going to be someone in our group. This is nothing new to many of our group. We've worked all over the world in all kinds of environments, with risk of exposure to other "bugs".

 

We've relaxed things quite a bit over time and are resuming normal operations... back to previous projects that got pushed aside since they were far less critical. Still have be vigilant and follow proper practices.

So this is the last dance.  It's been fun and informative debating with you.  We'll have to start up a NASCAR thread to keep the banter going.

So Trump says churches are essential. About time. The press freaked out. I got an idea let’s have our service at the grocery store. We can push each other around in carts. It’ll be holy rolling. Give me a break, he said it was the last day. I may cuss someone out for good measure. I bet you can’t guess who.

I’m living a normal life with just minor precautions. It’s a shame you’re ending this thread when every other day we get another oil change thread. People don’t have to click on it. I realize this is a truck site. It’s nice to be able to discuss other things that really matter, with out browsing multiple sites. I thought my answer to GB was very reasonable and it’s gone. I’m disappointed and may go the way of this thread. Doesn’t matter I know. Cheers.

This thread is a pain in the ass to moderate.  Y'all call each other names, then somebody runs off and reports that someone is name calling. Or some political thing comes up that makes someone butt hurt.  I don't care which side of the aisle your ass is sittin' on. Honestly, you don't get enough of it all day long on radio and TV, you have to bring it here too? This thread wins the prize for complaints. If we don't moderate it, then this place turns into GMFS, a free for all.

 

Most of you seem unable to make good points without throwing some personal insult in or make unnecessary jabs. Yep some good points in some posts have been lost because they got deleted.

 

Again there is a reason the Admins specifically have rules against certain topics.

 

Warnings have been given out and the thread goes out of whack again on a regular basis.

 

Make ya a deal. The thread will stay open through Memorial Day

Which is a good idea, other things to discuss besides Covid.

 

This thread will stay live through Memorial Day

Agree on both points, the "international you are number one salute" was awesome!!!

 

The Busch brothers are pretty much punks all the way around.

Well you’re right it’s probably run it’s course. If I’m threatening and have to be reported or my response gets deleted. It’s time for me to go. I never even had to go to the principals office in high school. Back to oil change threads.

The thread may have run it's course, but the subject will run until a vaccine.  People should leave their personal feelings out of forums and usually it's enough to keep Mods out.  Hard to do though when a subject impacts all, differently.

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
