    Truck reporting over hitch weight

    I use a Sherline scale. https://www.amazon.com/Sherline-LM-1000-Trailer-Displays-0-1000Lb/dp/B0825D2RN8/ref=sr_1_5?crid=17X68100C8U9J&keywords=sherline+scale&qid=1702941245&sprefix=sherline+scale%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-5 for my boat/trailer that weighs around 6500# I get around 600#. Since that is...

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    Yep....measure first at the output of the starter switch S terminal. If that is low, look at the input to the starter switch. All of this is done while trying to crank the engine in the start position.

    Correct...not a fan of poor losers.

    2023 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    The officials said after the game that if the WR had asked, they would have told him he was offside. Poor losers all around on this one.

    2023 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Show me in the rule book where a WR is supposed to get a warning...I will wait! BTW...both pictures were taken at the exact same time if you look at every player's arms and where they are located.

    He was completely offsides! Wasn't even close! In what universe would this be ticky tack?

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Supposedly, they are starting to enforce using it on Lake Tahoe. We are a Coast Guard enforced lake and the local Sheriffs and Lake police will also be enforcing the law. I am using one if I can remember to attach it. You are only required to have it attached at planing speeds.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    I have done a bunch of work on my Cobalt under the dash. I don't really see stuff like that. What I am having issues with is a Garmin problem. One of my Garmins lost NEMA 2000 connectivity. That took a while to diagnose since it took down the NEMA network on both my devices so I was without...

    Trailblazer for Tow Vehicle?

    And not a chance in hell I would tow that heavy of a boat with that vehicle. I wouldn't even tow that heavy of a boat with a Tahoe!

    Can't decide who's the most annoying

    No home phone anymore...not needed. My cell phone, which is a Pixel, has call screening. I just turned 65 so the Medicare junk mail just went in the recycle. Not sure why this is a big deal to people and why it annoys them so much.

    Shifting problems

    Higher RPMs cause shifting out of gear to be harder. Shifting into gear won't matter. Of course if running on muffs, RPM doesn't matter much since no load on the dog clutch pawls.

    Shifting problems

    You shouldn't be shifting without the engine running. It's a poor test and puts pressure unnecessarily on your shift cable. Many years ago, I changed out my console shifter to a Gen II and new cables and the shifting went from just marginal to silky smooth. Definitely recommend it.

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    What year is this engine? Does it even have an electric fuel pump?

    That's an old buckle along with an equally old strap...buy new ones.

    5.0 GXi oil extraction

    Sounds like your engine pan is empty. If you really don't believe that, unscrew the dipstick tube from the fitting at the bottom of the pan and then unscrew the fitting. This isn't rocket science! There hasn't been a camera made in the last 30 years that has only 640 pixels. My very first...
