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!

    • The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.    A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.    
    • Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a    
    • You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.
    • I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
