Morning boys. *f-wordit! Ain’t got time to go to work work. Off to cut a couple loads of wood. Y’all have a good one.

PUSSY?!

I say that every day Adam.
This week has been a rough one. Every job just goes to chit.
Tore the entire front off this GMC for a grille shutter. Made sure new one operated. Put together, took for a road test. Quit working.
Of course, whole front end had to come back off for me to find the wire that was pierced and corroded and only making contact at certain times...like when I fukking tested it.
Then a shackle bolt that ended up spinning the bushing..

While I agree with some of this Gary I feel like conceding that "the drugs are already here" feels a bit like endorsing the distribution of them. Also, decriminalization may take down some barriers to rehabilitation, I feel it also takes down barriers to experimentation, which for some can lead to addiction. I have no statistics to back this up, just first hand observation. Removing punishment for mis-behavior is a big problem in the home as well as in society.

Punishments are required!
But routes to Rehab needs to be an option for sure. It won't help everyone but some will get it done while it would be a minor percentage.

What happened to it?

After that hard rain we had last week, started acting strange and barely eating, eyes lost the pink they are supposed to have. Wormed him and vitamin b, kept getting worse. Was peeing and making pellets. Barely eating. Turned hard for the worse last night. I should have done it then, wife said wait as we were having a thunder and lightning rainstorm. He was gone when I got out there this morning. Just finished burying him. He was a rescue and had a great life right until the end. Died with his herd.


We tend to get too attached to our animals here. They are pets, not food. We keep a distance to the animals we eat. Some call that cowardice, but not to my face. Going KY for the day. Y'all be safe.

The wiring issues we are having on the 2015ish and even worse on the 19 and newer trucks is ridiculous. I still think it's an issue in manufacturing the harnesses. It's never the same location, but it's always pierced insulation resulting in corrosion. And oftentimes in locations you know haven't seen the light of day since the harness was built.

Bring that bish up to central Sconsin.
I'll fix it up.
Or, the Prodigy could whine to Daddy he doesn't want to work on it.
Or, Lord of the Wrench can throw random parts at it, because each new part failure was caused by the last part replaced.
Or, Vajayna can stare at it moodily while reprogramming a control module on it because that's his fix for everything from a rod knock to an exhaust rattle.

Good morning. Sunny 68°F/ 20°C going up to 77°F/ 25°C

Just call it some nasty names and tell it what you think of it. Slam the door and call it a few more names and then park it over night. In the morning it’ll be fine. It’s worked twice on my truck now. Once with auxiliary not turning off when a door opened and once with the trailering app screen being all black.

I can't speak to exterior wiring, but before I left hvac assembly the wiring had become so small that we had to wear ESD shoes and attach(ground) ourselves to the assembly line so a stray static charge couldn't short wiring out.

Good morning fellas. Nice weather here.

Test probe for the Micro 50 terminals..

Morning GM owners of nothing but problems...74 to 92, hit and miss rain this afternoon/evening.

Here recently in a local FB group, seems about 50% of all posts are from folks camera surveillance/home videos from Ring/other camera/video systems, etc...showing god damn thugs easing up their driveways and breaking into vehicles, stealing whatever they can, etc. It's been posted a thousand times that these thugs are gonna *f-wordk up and hit the wrong home one night. Well...last night two of 'em f'd up and picked the wrong house a few streets from me. Home owner came out, one of the thugs had balls enough to fire off a round, and now two POS thugs down. Gotta love it!

Am sure most understand I was being sarcastic! Have seen effects of addiction too many times, it's a hard fight to overcome for many and not only effects addict's (friends, family and even health care workers). Was going to say why not just start a vending machine business. I will leave it there and no longer comment on social issues

Just installed a mini-split system for our house. Wiring is small, panel connections are way to small to connect 8ga supply line required if following directions. Contacted company and they suggested, just use a lighter supply wire. Huh!

I have a thing only comes on occasionally for a few seconds. Usually does a series of three. Then it shut the heck up for a few weeks. Pretty sure there’s a problem with the harness on the right rear. I wish would disable the traction control permanently.

This guy owns a tree service.
And doesn't want his air filter replaced.

Did GM change the wire insulation to the soy based material, like some of the asian manufacturers...

A neighbor had his Tundra in twice under warranty for cracked insulation/corroded wires. Seems critters like to munch on them more as well.

We have the same issues here on later harness's. Komatsu tells us the smaller wire has a higher tensile strength and needs to be smaller due to the amount of wire needed and of course cost. I say bull chit on the strength, so here is my simplified that makes sense to my simple non college edumacated mind. Because we are seeing areas in wires not chaffed or poked with a tool but have corrosion glorified areas under the insulation or totally open burnt areas in one wire on a multi wire run. I really think this so called special high tensile multi strand wire will have a single strand break or burn open due to possible stress under the insulation. Hence this little strand burns a hole in the insulation that cannot be seen with the eye. Of course when exposed to the elements and oxygen corrosion sets in and it fester's.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation Ed but this has been a pet peeve of mine for many years. These failures as your well aware of can be very challenging to find. I've come to running a 24vdc bulb on circuits as times with a battery source just to see if the wire can carry the load.
Sorry mang, I've got a little out of hand on this. Better just eat my sandwich.
