If this has been around I apologize, but the minute I read it, I thought of all of us here on the forum.

 

Dear Walter:

 

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my

husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a

mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a

halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't

believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbor lady making mad

passionate love to her.

 

I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years.

When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he went into the back

yard and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but found her

unconscious. He'd carried the woman back to our house, laid her in bed,

and began CPR. When she awoke she immediately began thanking him and kissing

him and he was attempting to break free when I came back. But when I asked

him why neither of them had any clothes on, he broke down and admitted that

he'd been having an affair for the past six months.

I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six

months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed

and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum

he has become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him

anymore.

 

Can you please help?

 

 

Sincerely,

Mrs.. Sheila Usk

 

 

 

Dear Sheila:

 

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a

variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no

debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the

vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the

problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low

delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

 

I hope this helps.

You guys are good and also either not married or very confident that your wife never visits this forum.

 

Who cares what she thinks? I haven't worked in 6 months and I'm sleeping with the neighbor...She's going to leave me anyway.

I am married, in fact she once showed me that joke and thought it was funny.

 

I will be the first to tell my wife to her face that she is a horrible driver. In fact the other day I met her for lunch, as we were leaving she left the parking lot before me and I watched as she almost hit a BUS, a f***ing BUS! :thumbs:

 

It's one thing if you almost hit a pedestrian maybe a person on a bike/motorcycle, with blind spots and all, but a BUS.

 

This is why she has her car and I have my truck, yet another reason I bought a manual and not an automatic, she can't drive manuals. :chevy:

My wife love this stuff. She has an excellent sense of humor. If she didn't she would not be married to me!

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
