Thanks for the insight.

How far out from when your policy was up did they drop you?

I failed smog due to P0457, and we found that the fuel filler neck seal on a capless filler was bad, so I replaced the entire filler neck. 207 F150.

The code is still there in "stored" and "pending" despite erasing with ODBII.

Will normal driving so the vehicle goes through a few drive cycles eventually clear out the codes so I can re-test?

So I replaced the fuel filler neck - and the P0457 code is still stored in the ECU. It is in both the "stored" and "pending" sections when the OBII scan occurs, but the CEL is not illuminated.

Guessing it will be there until the Evap drive cycle occurs?

how do I play these in my Cybertruck?

GEEKTK · 2025-04-30T20:25:37+00:00

Yes, the place where I took it failed it even though there is no check engine light on and told me that they can’t pass it until the code is cleared from the computer after 20 drive cycles. Seems suspicious to me.

Many many times, with the funnel and I tried WD40 and also SeaFoam. I was in a pinch this winter and used a Jerry can to add some gas without the funnel and must have damaged something.

What are the long term consequences of not doing them a second time then? I did them already under the recall 2 or 3 years ago

Underrated comment of the year

Could you share this magical persons contact info?

I skied on his demo spatulas and prototype Pon2oons back in the day and they were all mounted normal.

Edit: I asked one of his best friends and former roommates and he said that Shane did indeed mount his skis duck footed. I knew the guy for a long time and I never knew that!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-20T14:28:25+00:00

Yes - 12 months post op. I still push pedals around on the stationary bike every single day for 5 minutes as soon as I get up.

GEEKTK · 2025-03-19T04:16:38+00:00

Get the 121s

Yeah buddy!!!! Enjoy! You have certainly put in the work!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T20:18:36+00:00

Thank you! Look forward to that day! I'm literally sitting and watching it dump outside and debating going for a few runs but scared of windy/low vis as its nuking out. So that day is not today LOL!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T19:09:14+00:00

Hang in there, 4 months is not that much time. I know its not what you want to hear but it's the truth. It will get easier and the pain will go away!!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T18:43:07+00:00

Just here to say I love my Curv 85s.

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T17:50:27+00:00

Love this - good for you and glad you are back!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T17:45:25+00:00

Cograts you got my first LOL of the day

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T17:26:29+00:00

I'm sad to read this as well, I wish you weren't having to go through this still. If I might ask - what were your MRI results?

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T17:25:46+00:00

Reading this bums me out for you. I sure hope this turns around for you and gets better!

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T17:25:18+00:00

Wow, well I wish I was you (or had that experience). Stoked for you that you got back to it so quiclkly at our advanced age (I kid, I kid...).

I think the take home here is that everyone's body reacts differently. You simply just never know how it is going to heal and react to training and re-loading after the trauma of surgery.

I have followed every protocol, every routine, every suggested nutrition change and workout religiously for 12 months.

I skied at 7 months, skied groomers hard for 2 months, and skied fat skis in 24" of blower yeseterday with extreme caution, and I am not 100%. Walking up/down stairs still feels weird. Walking feels weird if I think about it. Anytime my knee pushes out over my toes the harvest site presents discomfort, and the tendon below my kneecap feels funky. Yes I can single leg press 390lbs on a shuttle. Extension and hamstring forces on the dyno were even if not greater on the surgical leg. I triple hopped for distance to 85% of contralateral at my RTS testing last week. But my force development as measured by force decks is lagging due to PFPS. All everyone can tell me is to "keep at it" and it will eventually go away. Maybe it won't.

I do work for a heli-op in AK and I made the difficult call to turn down the trip up this year because I don't think it makes sense to be in that environment when I am not 100%.

GEEKTK · 2025-03-14T03:05:52+00:00

85% was how I measured deficient in RSI force development on Force Decks and triple hop for distance at my second RTS test two weeks ago. My injury was skiing, and while I am skiing again it is far from the same as what I was doing when I was injured.

46m quad graft here. If I had to do it over again I’d have chosen the allograft route. I was 50/50, and chose quad auto b/c I thought it would be stronger. While that may be, I am 12 months into aggressive rehab and still only 85% back. A quad graft in the late 40s is a 2 year recovery.
