    Right now, it appears to just be a companion code; If replacing the O2 sensors doesn't shut off the TC light, then I'll address that.

    Pete had to use a torch to get the old oxygen sensors out, and then regroove the holes!

    I never even thought of that; This truck was seriously guzzling gas in a manner similar to Bluto from Animal House drinking whiskey!

    The same shit everyone else has.

    LOL.

    O2 sensor isn’t going to throw a wheel speed sensor code.

    @ColoradoTJ and my mechanic both said that the other codes were companion codes that were automatically triggered, and when my mechanic used his own OBS scanner after replacing both O2 sensors, the other codes were gone as well; I'm still a wee bit confused as to what was going on...

    Once a CEL is generated, it removes traction control from service since it most likely shares the same module.

    The companion codes keep this in the same status until the original issue is fixed/condition no longer exists.

    And now the truck is just fine; My mechanic had to use a torch to get the old O2 sensors out though, and then rethread the holes to put the new ones in!

    I don’t doubt that bud. One of the reasons I have a rosebud in my garage to heat up stuff like this.

    I'm probably gonna be buying one of those sooner rather than later! Doing work on this truck myself is much better than making payments on some overpriced newer piece of shit!

    Always a wise idea. Once you have the knowledge…priceless.

    Today my dishwasher quit working and my craptastic Amazon LED garage lights went out.

    So after taking my kids to school I ran into town and checked out Home Depot. I picked up 4 more LED lights (had 4 already) and then hobbled over to the appliances. Instead of being lazy I and buying a new Bosch dishwasher (1600) I decided to fix it myself.

    Went home, tested my DMM on live circuits, then turned off breakers, retested, wired up LEDs. Had I not been able to do that, not even sure what an electrician would cost or how long I would be out of garage lights.

    Then went in and troubleshot my dishwasher. Clogged drain and clogged up filter. Boom.

    Maybe I should reward myself with some new DeWalt tools. :D

    It seems like quality is going down in the interest of energy efficiency...

    Not this guy. All LED lights, 2x6 house construction, heavily insulated. I like my 130-165.00 per month utility bills. That says a bunch since I live at 7550’ of elevation and our weather gets nasty.

    @ColoradoTJ
    @shakerhood

    This girl was very nice to me and never the least but unkind, but I was so far into the dreaded "friend zone" that it wasn't even funny; Even if I wasn't a socially awkward autistic kid, she still would have been far out of my league...

    For starters, I'm a white dude and I never once saw her date anybody but black guys. On top of that, the two boyfriends she had that I saw were both older than her...

    In 2004, when she wasn't even old enough to drive in most states (she did get her learner's permit in late 2004, at the age of 15 and a half, the youngest allowable under Virginia law), she was dating a 21-year old guy she met at the grocery store where she worked...

    I am not the type to stick my nose into the romantic lives of others, but that relationship kind of unnerved me; I have a friend from middle
    school who's my age, but dating a guy in his early 60s, and that kinda creeps me out!

    That’s gonna end well (see bold). He will be talking about CCR and she will ask if that’s a reality show.
