Loginfailed's Stolen Idea Emporium (plus BS)

House was built in 1960s

Full Repipe (owner did a DIY repipe with questionable solder joints and inadequate pipe size)
Full Rewire (All the wiring is two wire so no ground)
New windows (Original single pane windows are still in the house)
Mold abatement (Almost every wall that had plumbing in it also has mold. An addon done in the 90s was leaking like a shiv and all the wood in two of the corners needs to be replaced because its all rotted away)
Asbestos abatement (All the heating ducts are asbestos lined
Replace furnace and all ducts and add A/C
Insulate entire house since there isn't any.

Pretty much the wife and I bought a frame.
Probably needs a new roof but since it rarely rains in LA we don't need to do that right away.

S/C is gonna be stock for much much longer now

 

Got the new ECU in and used your procedure to get the immobilizer to work with it. Thanks again for the instructions Login! They worked flawlessly. Sadly, truck is still running lean, so now off it goes for a TRD flash.

 

I feel for you. I'm going through a mold remediation right now for my two year old house, and nothing about it is pleasant.

 

Well, damn so basically everything. That bill is probably more than I paid for my house new!

Balls. So you doing a TRD flash and then remove the UCON?

 

My neighbors went through that this summer, it cost them big bucks.

 

How long is that process supposed to take?

 

Yessir. Thats the plan. Been through just about everything else at this point.. Not sure what else it could be besides the injectors, but i figured if one of those was bad, it would at least be throwing a code relating to that..

 

Keep me posted. I know you're not the first one to have issues with the UCON. Mine has been pretty solid, but honestly I do not trust it. I would prefer to do a stand alone like Haltech, but I need to pick up another daily driver since I know that getting a stand alone installed and tuned is much more than an "over the weekend" project.

 

Definitely will do buddy. Been meaning to update @Roostfactor on this as well as he has been helping me trouble shoot over the past couple of months. Everything got put on hold recently as the truck needed a clutch. Just picked back up troubleshooting it this week after the new clutch finished breaking in.. I am starting to convince myself that its the UCON.. Gadget tested it on his truck but im about 100% sure he doesnt have a maggy blower on it, so testing it with the URD centrifugal s/c is apples and oranges.

 

The home builder is footing the bill since the mold is a result of their fantastic design and construction. Realistic estimate of time out of the house is six months to a year.

 

Holy shit. That long?

 

That's what we've been told. In a nutshell, the roof, HVAC, and the entire interior of the house has to be replaced. I suspect even the pex water lines have to be replaced since they're discolored from mold. What isn't known is a solution or even a consensus on the cause. There are people (latest estimate is approximately 300 homes are affected) who have had to endure this remediation process and move out two or three times because the mold returned. So there is no telling what will happen.

 

Wow!

 

That's an understatement.

I edited my post, but in case you missed it, there are approximately 300 homes in my neighborhood that are affected.

 

That is crazy. At least I know where the mold in my place came from.

And.i haven't moved into it yet. We only closed on it 3 to 4 weeks ago .

 

Damn, I had no idea it was that bad. So where are you going to be staying?

 

Yikes! Now your comment about essentially having bought just the frame a house makes sense. That's so sad man, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes sir, and the details of the past year and a half from when we first noticed the mold just makes things worse. Oh well. Hopefully it'll be fixed. We moved to a rental not far away from our house. I will say this, its kind of really nice to have a clean and empty garage.

 

That would definitely be nice! One of these days I will have two separate garages. One for parking cars and the other for a little shop.

 

Interesting to note @rjbiii is that while hanging out with a bunch of the old timers what you sent me in the log (the one that captured the leaning out problem) was supposedly the first time it has been captured on a datalog. I of course gave you credit for the capture. I just found it in the log.
