    D5A943A4-3168-4852-B291-5C6DB1899949.jpeg Here’s the free computer check from autozone. Nowhere is a throttle body mentioned. Abs, and PCM brains only. $500+ worth of parts. Chances are a trip to the Mechanic would have ended up with all these parts, add labor. How much ? $1000, $2000 Bill? I have no idea. I’d rather throw Common failure parts at it. At least you get the new parts. So many horror stories on the inter web. It’s still guesswork at best, even with the code readers.

    Found me one. Some ref to a 2009 circa. Listed as used, but does not appear to ever have been sharpened. Holster so flat, like never bee used.

    Yes, Keri is taking Hydrocodone 7.5 Mg. This makes Keri a bit sick and eats several crackers while taking the pill.

    I only have 1. Taught her to drive when she was 10 or 11. First car was a big Buick Century. Told her if she wrecked it, she’d be driving a Le Sabre like her Grandma. She was grateful for the Buick. Bought her a 2 yr old Pontiac G5 for her 19th birthday. Driving to college classes, sometimes downtown. Girls need a reliable vehicle. Boys only need a junker to tear up. I got great pleasure giving her both cars. Especially the little black Pontiac. Never made her change a tire. Check oil, tires, jump start. Flat tire? Drive on it, to a safe area. Call Road service. She’s always had at least one job, and never had an attitude of entitlement. When I sold her Pontiac, she mentioned since I bought it, I keep the money right. I said well yeah, only fair. No problem, that’s what I thought. Then I laughed and told her the money will be in your account later. Lol. School doesn’t teach practical financial stuff. It’s too bad. I’ve taken her along when buying a car from the Dealership. She knows how to negotiate and not get roped into extras. I took a hands off approach when she was buying her Jeep. She called and asked a couple questions. Better that way. Like any parent, I’m very proud. She’s self reliant, good job, own place. What more could a Parent want or expect?

    What exactly are those paper tags? You see them everywhere here in Austin. 99.9% of the rigs with them are dump trailers.

    Temporary For use till the real license plate shows up.

    High percentage you are seeing is because the construction crews are starting up in your region.

    Now my version of reality: Since the truck was a recent acquisition the operator may not have the trained knowledge to keep themselves out of trouble. The trained knowledge may include taking a load and listening to dispatcher/broker that they must drive in a unsafe manner to meet an unrealistic deadline. The lack of experience of said operator causes them to do stupid stuff like not tell the "boss" to go F... themself.

    Saltines are the best. I like mine with a some real butter spread on them... I can eat an entire box and a couple cubes of butter like that in a single sitting if I don't pay attention.
