on GM vehicles, cranking the motor with the gas pedal to the floor puts it in "clear flood mode". Shuts off the injectors.

My old softener was giving me an overfilled brine tank. Ultimately what I found was my brine valve was sticking - worn out. New one from Bezos & all good.

It was in the ground for a million or so years...

These will be my next set once the OE Goodyears are done. I'd love to replace them now, but at $1200 for the set, I'll hold off...

Smart move: jettison ICE while it still has value before BEV completely takes over. Thank commiefornia for this. Really hoping they stick to their guns & don't allow diesel heavy equipment in to rebuild all the burned up neighborhoods - only battery powered equipment.

yeah....about that....

I bought a '25 L3B in December. Just did the first OC @1200 miles. First, I'd like to thank the gorilla at gm who tightened the filter. Wasn't sure which would break first: my craftsman band strap wrench or my hernia. Truck got one qt M1 & a jug of Pennzoil Platinum with a PF66 filter

Never met one an air hammer wouldn't rattle loose. Beats beating the snot outta it.

Nice truck!

I don't see anything wrong with the control arm bushings. I've had them fail and it was the noise from the arm clanking around while driving that clued me in. As for the pump, it does look like a wet spot on the housing. Best internet diagnosis I can give for free - YMMV.

For around $25K OTD nicely equipped, it's hard to beat. I considered it when I bought my wife her Equinox, but no AWD killed it.

Again, Bridgestone bent the knee. Nobody held a gun to their head.

I blame them both, but mostly Bridgestone. It's their name on the sidewall of a craptastic tire. Evidently they have no concern about their brand image; so in kind, I will have no concern for it as well.

That's quite a mouthful when they could've just named them Bridgestone Junk. OK, so we'll stick to a long name: how about Bridgestone DitchFinder 365? I've never, ever, had an OEM tire this bad - they came stock on the wife's '23 Equinox AWD. I bet if I got the FWD version, it'd have come...

A complete short-block rebuild kit from TEMU is $222. Complete rotating assembly, everything. JBWeld the hole in the block. $1500 tops. 🍿

Not uncommon to need both! I just run XPS in my SkiDoo

Thanks. Based on interweb research, some reports of noise indicate a precursor to pump mechanical failure; while some reports indicate it's a benign condition. I tore down the old pump & didn't see any signs of mechanical failure. Just trying to rebuild my confidence in this truck.

Long story short, I replaced my original L83 variable output oil pump 'cause the solenoid took a dump (P06DD). New one is working fine, but noisy/whining. No worse than the old one when I got the code, but I was hoping for no noise. Are these pumps inherently noisy, or is it an indication I...

Teardown is in process. Front axle & steering rack are out. Parts ordered & received. I'm spending more on new tools than parts, lol...

True statement & I'm still interweb researching theory & operation for this variable pump setup; as well as fixes tried and failed vs. successful. I'm finding a lot of evidence that points to a failed control solenoid/pump mechanical issues vs gage/sensor issue. This is exactly what my truck...
