Both of our Harley Davidson plants went dark today and word is Louisiana Pacific's going to follow suit shortly. 

McClure seems like the right kind of insane.

The sensor was pushing coolant (THANK YOU).  The ECM connectors have coolant in them but they were damp not dripping coolant.  I cleaned them up. Someone hinted that the main engine power relay could be an issue as well. Is this one of the 4 relays to the left of the fuse panel in pass side dash compartment?  Where is the main engine relay?  The driver can not clarify on how the truck looses power ex. if the engine shuts all the way off.  One described the issue is he notices the gauges go flat and he states on a loaded truck he can not pull a hill faster than around 25mph but that is guessing with no gauge.     

   Just to updates on this post i did have a wire populated on the pin but the wire number was different.  We added the ground and ran the truck.  Still did the same thing.  I attempted to disable the vss limiting but tech tool required password to change the parameter.  The dealer has to unlock the password.   

Did you add the Anti-capillary jumper to your new coolant sensor for insurance against it happening again?

Also, If you have an AI engine, which you likely do, they don't have any low end torque. Software and mods can get it running right.

County brined two days ago for today’s freezing rain. It got good’n sun baked. My co worker is a mouth breathing fellow. He was on his way to work right behind another truck rolling up brine powder. Said before long he could taste the salt in his mouth via the HVAC fan. Stuff gets into everything, even cores. 

You guys brine? 

Make a mental note of where we're at before the subsidies start to flow out the door..... gotta love and hate this thing in realtime.

If you want to have fun go to the box on the right on the header label "Debt clock time machine". Even under Donald the acceleration is apparent. It'll give you a 2016 window to click, Obama's turnover at 19.4 trill. New home cost to income ratio is another good one, in 2000 its $30,000 to $162K and (20 years later) now its $34,000 income and $313K for a new home.

They push the US unfunded liability ticker as far to the bottom right as possible.

Rant time....

If the Dems could drown Trump in blood to get him out of office they’d drain their Mother dead to get enough. Trumps screwed.  He will have the leftist media screaming “American blood on his hands” (which Dems are praying for) if he doesn’t play along and he’s just now undone all the good he did for our markets. 

During his first winter in office 61,000 died from the flu and not a damn thing was said about it. Now look at this ridiculous 💩. 

My 401K dropped off 25.7% for absolutely no reason but a high publicity Flu-farce. Just healed up from the Tariff war with China and “Bam”, tanked again! 

Trivial Coronafarce-rus prediction......   Ruth Bader Ginsburg will get Corona and survive it like the last 10, otherwise fatal, illnesses. She’ll miss 6 months of SCOTUS deliberations and come back with clearly visible vampire 🧛‍♀️ fangs, hissing and clawing at reporters, unable to keep them hidden from the public because of a receding upper lip. Feminists will celebrate knowing she'll be capable of serving on the court for 100's of years.

Guys I think if we save enough people they will still be able to pay taxes!Now Thats Important!

Corona goes specifically after boomers on social security benefits who have expensive preconditions and, ironically, spares future taxpayers (kids)...... right now Uncle Sam’s doing some soul searching on an incentive for vaccine development?

Seriously, this is beyond sickening. What is going to happen if there ever was a REAL crisis? We're all doomed. The world is ending over flu. What would happen in a world war 3???

I just talked to someone here that works at Walmart in town. They open at 8 am but said when they show up for work at 7am there are already over 100 people lined up outside.

For what?????

My friend just went to the liquor store. Said it was packed shoulder to shoulder, people swearing at each other and the shelves all empty.

And forget about finding any kind of paper product or food.

And you can't even talk any sense to any of these idiots.

This will work out, let me explain....

I changed my tune about the food hoarding sect of Coronatards. Let them hoard and be well fed for now so they don’t turn to cannablism right away, because then the fools will REALLY be a handful.

The toilet paper hoarding sect will get their’s eventually. All non paper hoarders will smell and look terrible once things dry up and get itchy. Food hoarders will eventually run out, be disgusted by the smell of non-hoarders......while TP hoarders will present as clean, fresh and “grade A” for consumption by the cannibals. 

Joking aside... today a guy at work came back from his vacation in Mexico. SURPRISE, welcome back! Work told him to go home for 14 days before he could return because he traveled. I didn’t see the memo that came out, but my supervisor says anyone seen exhibiting any sign of illness at work, like a cough, will be instructed to leave. 

I've been waiting patiently to see my first Corona Balona's and I got it. For your viewing pleasure I present Mr. and Mrs. Coronatard. They have been running all over Wausau, pushing down pregnant women, frantically collecting all the water the local stores will let them buy. Unfortunately for our greed riddled survivalists they failed to tie down the slippery flats of water and sent much of the filthy lucre over the top rail of the trailer...… I couldn't get all the bottles in the pic, but they were spread out for 60 feet. Poor Mrs. C was on her hands and knees tonguing the pavement to lap up that precious live saving Corona cure.

I'm one of the high risk people according to my grandson. No spleen, one kidney and 6 or 8 feet of intestine all of which abandoned me to live in some zipperheads stew pot. Told my grandson that I wash my heads a zillion times a day in the parts washer, I dislike most people so contact isn't a big issue, cars and trucks are constantly being cleaned  before and after use. Most all my food is shot, caught on a hook, dug out of dirt.dried, preserved or butchered and frozen, by me so grocery stores aren't an issue really. Worst comes to worst my M114a1 is also NBC equipped.  So I guess unless the local Barney Fife somehow gets in to my property and coughs on me (assuming he survives the mile drive to my house and shop, and the walk to the door through the Basset Hound mines, I should be good to go. 

I don’t worry about you Paul, you were prepped before being a “prepper” was cool and if zippy really tried eating the missing goods all he got was a sore jaw and the experience of what a tough S.O.B. tastes like. 

The more I learn about Cov-19 the more tinfoil hat I am we already had it here in mid February. China was getting hit in December. Talking to family, neighbors, friends, who had (have) what we had in our house and it’s the same adventure.....

Able to eat through it, all fever, respiratory, sore throat and aches.....

kids had mild symptoms, adults got it handed to them.....

I had a fever of 102.3, lasted 36 hours, broke, returned to work next week for a few days and got hit again with a second fever of 100.5 for 12 hours(w/same symptoms)....

Chest feels heavy like you inhaled a bucket of swamp water... 

follow up lung-butter cough/hack for 3 weeks to dissipate....(kids had hardly any follow up cough). 

Most of us had flu immunization and it did nothing to prevent or ease symptoms same as the peeps who didn’t have any shots at all......

So if that’s our current seasonal flu, and it was here before all the hoopla started, what (is it) was it?

Mack Technician "They cut the antennas off each vehicle as a show of solidarity against media mental corruption."

 

The whole world needs to do this!!!! This is the whole problem.....media brainwashing and fear mongering.

10-4 sir, if we could get just the facts, unadulterated, bare bones, drama free, unmanipulated, FACTS, imagine how different things would look?

I’ve noticed the Amish and Mennonite do a lot of things right.

They’re pacifists, but around here they wanted to hunt, so now they’re church sanctioned pacifists with guns. Perfect!

Conversations you never hear at the local country store....”Ruth has a hard decision to make about removing Zachariah from life support” or “does this dress make me look modern” or “did you hear what Trump tweeted” or “Esther is dating a boy I’m just not sure about” or “Miriam, put down that smart phone!”. 

The real kicker, I mean total frigging kicker, is they train their kids to speak with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent. They want to sound East Coast Dutch like the folks back in the mothership and I’ll testify you can’t tell they were born and raised here. Even the little kids. 

At this point it’s not a matter of who’s guilty of starting a naturally occurring phenomenon so much as who’s handling it properly. We aren’t. 

The people in charge of sailing our ship are the ones most at risk of dying. It’s a gentleman virus that spares babies and pregnant moms, but not people our age. Our 45-70 year old leaders are sweaty palmed.

Through it all the killer for me has been watching my 401K tanking.

I want to exploit the gullible to recover my losses. Sorta like the traveling salesman of old who sold botttles of Uncle Jed’s tonic water to simpletons. I’m going to sell “Magic Elderberry Infused toilet paper” to cure a debilitating condition (I’m inventing) called “Coronasphincter”.

The f'n gene pool of society really has run out hasn't it? Wife just called from work. My city is sold out of toilet paper. People bought every f'n roll on the shelves.

What, is corona going to cause mass shitting and diarrhea or something?

The stupidity of this world sickens me. People should not be allowed to reproduce.

Where's the corona virus? I'll lick it. Know why? Because I have an immune system and it stays strong by being around germs. F'n morons. 

Go drink more bleach you dumb @#$%^&*'s

Sorry for your situation Bull H. It’s uncivil.

Been searching for the reasons why Corona-dorks are after toilet paper of all things. Guess it’s because they consider it a comfort item they can’t do without? Read that Psychologists say when people panic they horde to gain a sense of control over the situation. Also because they assume they will enter a state of self protective quarantine from the outside world and don’t want to emerge from hiding looking like they sat on a boxful of dried fudge. 

The stupidity is toilet paper should be the last thing you horde? A washcloth and working shower/sink can sustain you indefinitely. Even if your spraying mud like a sick monkey you could just hop in the shower.

Guy next to me at the lunchroom table thought I was watching a helicopter video. 

I haven’t seen many in an RD or DM either. They’re out there. Think the CV was attractive and took over on the vocationals during the AI generation. 

Windshield looks to have a body size “I’m getting the H€|| outta here NOW!” hole pushed through it. 

You guys get some wild winds out on the plains. Spent a fall night with my pop-up camper hunting out in the Montana sage. Duct taped the windy side seams of the vinyl castle to stop the cross wind blasting through it. Middle of the night I woke up....swear I felt both stabilizers and a wheel rock up off the earth. Wasn’t a dream because I heard my Dad holler from the other bunk.

Out of my crew there’s some who will and some who won’t. It’s born right into them. I’ve had to jump into a river with my clothes, shoes and cellphone in pocket for the brave ones. They give you the gray hair. 

The grenade pin must have been Wuhan then.
