    P0307 misfire on 2016 Silverado 5.3

    My girlfriend's '16 Silverado (5.3 engine) has been throwing a P0307 misfire but only above roughly 3500 rpm. Apparently she had to accelerate hard to avoid a collision and it had a noticeable lack of power and a check engine light came on. I scanned it to get the code and clear it, then took it...

    Car museum in Northern Michigan

    Found this hidden gem in Frankfort, Michigan a couple years ago. My dad and I visited it and we were the only ones in there, other than our lady friends of course :) . This lovely older couple owned it, they bought every single car in the museum and drove all of them over the years. He worked...

    2020 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited

    Just got back from a 1500 mile road trip (total miles round trip) to northern Michigan with the old lady on the back seat. Toured the Keweenaw peninsula (the roads were fantastic) and we were blessed with perfect weather. Bought this bike in September of last year and I can't say enough how much...

    2015 Silverado - Six years later

    I bought my 2015 Silverado new and posted it in this forum when I bought it. It's a double cab 4x4 with the 4.3 V6. I currently have 83k miles on it. Reliability has been solid, no mechanical issues at all. Wait, that's not true; it did have a stuck caliper in the drivers side rear at 70k...

    Bought a new Silverado

    I don't post much here, I mostly lurk and try to learn a thing or two. But here is my new truck that I bought yesterday. 2015 Silverado LT, the "All Star" package they call it. 4.3 V6, 4x4, double cab. A bunch of bells and whistles I really didn't need, but nice to have anyway, I guess. Walked...

    Went to buy a new Cruze today....

    ...and GM wouldn't let me buy it. About 10 minutes before I was going to sign the paperwork, Gm sent out a bulletin to all dealers putting a stop on all Chevy Cruze sales because of potentially faulty airbag inflator modules. So now I still don't have a replacement car for the Cruze I got into...

    Dummy ran a red light, wrecked my Cruze.

    Last week I t-boned a guy who ran a red light, I bounced off of him and then ran into a power line pole. Fortunately I have a dashcam, and recorded the entire thing. I sent the video to the police and my insurance company. But anyway, here are some pics. It was a 2013 Cruze LS with 9000 miles on it.

    Pair of Cruze's

    The red one is mine, a 2011 1LT. The "Autumn Metallic" (I just call it brown) one is my wife's 2013 LS.

    I met Fifi today.

    Visited Willow Run airport for the annual air show today. They had the B-29 Superfortress "Fifi" there, and since I am friends with the flight engineer, I got a tour of the plane no one else could get unless they paid for it. I've never had a chance to see a B-29, much less get a chance to be...

    I want to buy a new bike...which one?

    I like cruising for long distances, and my old Suzuki Boulevard C50T was just to uncomfortable and too small. After lots of research I have it narrowed down to the Kawasaki Voyager, or the Harley Electra Glide Ultra. Has anyone rode the Voyager? What are the pro and cons? On paper the Voyager...

    Autozone sold me used oil

    I do the oil changes on my friends Chevy cube van (6.5 Turbo diesel). I don't usually go to Autozone, but I was in a hurry and they were the closest store with oil and filters. I picked out 2 gallons of Rotella from the shelf, then waited in line for 10 minutes while the clerk was arguing with...

    New Supertech filter?

    I was in my local walmart today, and I noticed that there were a bunch of Supertech filters in a blue box, called "Supertech 2X". I've never seen these before, have these been out for a while?
