I know that’s a problem but what am I suppose to do, start it, put in the boat, go for a ride, and come back and shut it off?

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Dropped it off at a shop. Hopefully they can figure out why it’s doing what it’s doing.

Got it back, was a short. Fixed. Hopefully now the misses go away but I will start daily driving it to see if it does.

Might do the duel batter this weekend but I also want to wait to see the problem is fixed.

Got a load of dirt in the avalanche today to spread around the house.

Also changed front diff gear oil with shockproof heavy. The front was wining a little when your cruising and just push a little on the gas, at least online says that’s front diff. Well the noise is much much less. I expect some and it was a little low and original fluid.

Need to do the transfer case. And engine oil.

Got code p0446. Already replaced the purge valve under the truck. I ordered the one on top of the manifold. But still can’t put gas in the truck. 15 mins to put in 8 gals the other day.

So you have a restriction on the canister/vent side of the system.

The purge solenoid has nothing to do with that. You replaced the vent solenoid.

That makes a lot of sense. I don’t know what do with that info though.

I didn’t take it to a shop per say. It was just the guy at works AAA place. They are good with electronics. Not really tracking down lines like this.

Getting code p0420 which is catalytic code.

Looking at those spacers, what’s the difference in them all? Basically which one am I looking for?
