He's modern-day racist.  When he steps up to the podium in front  of camera's, it's "corona virus".  When he's a keyboard warrior, it becomes "Chinese virus"...
Alright Chodester, does this look like it's from behind a keyboard?

I now know who the president relied on for the economic and health decision on the virus policy. Heath first, economy be damn. I believe they are the same. We probably will never know. Unfortunately we can’t save everyone. I remember when the ObamaCare was being shoved through. Obama was ask about these very same people in regards to cost effectiveness. His answer was. Some people may just get a pill and sent home. No uproar with that one.

I'd be more worried about a vaccine or cure.
 
HAVE YOU SEEN I AM LEGEND?!?!?[emoji1787]
 
I dont get all the gloves. It's airborne. 
 
My wife and I both work in "essential services", so no shut down will stop us from going out daily. I have read up and listen to world leading experts and.....
 
I'm not worried at all.

Yeah well you should be cause depending where you live New York is now shutting down even essential workers.

I’m optimistic. I’m reasonable don’t give in to fear. If this came from the Middle East I’d be worried. The Chinese need us sheep to buy their goods. They wouldn’t plan this under a Trump presidency, he can’t be bought. He’s the only president that will lose personal treasures serving us. Small minded people will say he has so much, he don’t care. Well, if you haven’t noticed the man has an ego the size of Texas. This is a sacrifice for him. He was loved by both sides ( money talks), he half that becoming president.

This whole thing started in China, covered up by China (as biological weapons always are), denied by China then later blamed the USA and now they’re all doing better in China while the whole world is suffering. The Chinese can do without us as they’ll eat their own. We’ve got to be kind towards each other and help where we can EXCEPT giving our Amsoil, that’s over stepping lol.

As a dog owner, I can live with that.

 

After a while, if you continue getting sick eating every living animal that you try to call a delicacy, you should really take a look at the way your society functions.....

My rant was not aimed at Trump, he is what he is.

 

It was aimed at a so called professional journalist, with everything going on, people losing their jobs and businesses, she keeps hers, because that type of news coverage is a necessity of life??????

 

If that is the best she can bring to the party, don't come.

They’re to busy focusing on world domination but Trump stands in their way. Give them some time, protesters will start disappearing just like your family pets did. In Greece, Greeks DO NOT eat Chinese food, the Chinese have been found to serve neighborhood pets.

Try living a city like Seattle, where we actually have a China town district, pretty sure it is not a rumor sadly enough.

 

If someone took one of my dogs, and I found out who, you would not want to eat the "meat" at my next BBQ.

Downtown Orlando has a big Vietnamese district. Like you will find official street signs and stuff in Vietnamese.

I don't eat there for the same reason.

Now, don’t you go jinxing this for me! When it comes to hogs, I don’t eat what I kill. I’m thinking chips and sandwich meat lol

We eat it here.

But we have to hunt them in brush. At night, because that's when they're most mobile.

Had a close call with almost getting gored and don't do it anymore. [emoji88]

    • If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.
    • Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin. 
    • Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85    
    • Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
