How many members do we have here from MO?

 

I'll start. I'm a new member and a new Chevy owner. Actually, the wife is driving the Chevy. It's a 2007 Trailblazer LT. We bought it yesterday at a used car lot with 4132 miles on it. This is the first Chevy either of us have had. Dare I say, I've always been a Ford guy? Sorry, sister-in-law works for Ford, so I've always liked the deals, but I got a great deal on this Chevy, so I went for it.

 

My first impression so far with this truck, it's NICE!! It's fully loaded and I gotta say, the OnStar thing is awesome! I don't feel near as worried about my wife going out of town with our kids! Ford really screwed up not doing something similar!!

 

We live at the Lake of the Ozarks near Osage Beach.

 

So who else is in MO?

Sheesh, 12 views and no replies? Either there are no Missouri members or this isn't a friendly type forum? Should I keep looking for a friendly forum or what?

Welcome to the group! :crackup: Glad to see a fellow Missourian post.

 

Where are you located at the LOZ? I have a house on the 36MM. I just bought a Cobalt 262 to keep my Triton TR186 company on the dock. Crazy weather. Snow on Sunday - 70 degrees on Wed. :crackup:

 

Overall this is a very friendly forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this board. I think there are quite a few Missourian on here, they just don't post very much.

 

Glad you like your TB. :crackup:

I live in Jefferson City. Just got rid of my 01 pickup about a month ago for a car. Wife still has the crewcab pickup. Right now I am looking for a older chevy pickup to buy, just so I can have my playtoy

Should be a nice weekend. I'm down near the 26MM, kinda by Tan-Tar-A. Last thing I want is another boat! I got one and I'm sick of it. It's a Commercial Water Sports Aerial Pro 30. If you've never heard of one, it's the ParaSail operation out of Tan-Tar-A.

 

It's nice to meet some fellow Missourians. Thanks for the welcome.

Yea actually Sam Houston is the name of our major street. :) What can I say though. People tell me its because he came through this area that they called our town this. :) I've only been here 4 years so no biggie.

Hey I'm another one from MO. I live in southeast missouri near cape girardeau by the mighty mississippi river :lol: I'm glad the floods finally let up but then we feel earthquakes from illinois. I imagine soon the plague of locust or the waters running red will happen soon. :lol::lol:

They have internet in Missouri? I figured it would be stolen by the residents of East St Louis. :M16:

    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
