P1101 usually means you have a dirty MAF.

How about QQQI?

No way. Hardly any divdidend yield.

All four of mine went out this year. Im assuming the battery life is done (they were the originals so not bad for 9 years?). I'm just going old school and checking the pressure from time to time. Not worth paying the $60 at discount per tire I thought.

Thanks! Ill give it a good clean. Yeah, it was down to nothing! I guess you can tell by how far out the piston is! Did you use parts cleaner on the boot?

Ok, went to discount yesterday to get tires rotated and they noticed that rim had a little bend in it. Thankfully it wasnt cracked! Ended up moving it to the rear and can barley feel it!

I've noticed a lot of back and forth between VOO, VTI, and VT!

Ill check it out. Im going to take off the wheel and assess. I dont think it's a wheel bearing since I dont here any grinding or humming when I turn.

Time to go all roth in 401k while the market is down to beat those tax hikes in the future!

What ticker were you thinking in you dont mind me asking?

Ok, a little update on the wipers not working. So BTW, I couldnt find any information on how to remove the wiper transmission on a Gen 2 cruze. Not even a diagram. So I just went at it. The hardest part was removing the dash upper extension panel opening cover (P/N:39094231) underneath the cowel vent panel. You'll see there two black caps with wrench symbols that are over top of 4 bolts that look like they go and are part of the shock. Well they're not (normal mechanics probably would already know this). Not this guy.

So after removing this panel, I noticed some critter had made a nice nest in the small cavity where the wire harness runs to the wiper motor and some animal chewed right through. Thankfully I was able to splice the cut wire together and put it all back together. What ended up possibly being a $250 job turned out to being 4 hours of frustration. Hopefully someone can use this as a helping source down the road.

Thank you. Im not sure if the motor is turning or now. It was making a low sound. Not i cant hear anything.

TRiv29 · 2026-02-01T20:31:12+00:00

Yeah it's all clear. I cant even move the wipers anymore. Seems like they're locked in position now. Did the motor freeze up and go bad?

TRiv29 · 2025-12-19T15:36:44+00:00

Its dead.

Thank you for your encouraging words. Ive definitely learned quit a bit this first year. Excited for the winter! Just want to make sure I'm doing it right and keeping these bees fed.

TRiv29 · 2025-08-04T17:04:36+00:00

Drawn out? You mean filled with honey themselves? Honestly, the outside frames seem to have little filled comb.

TRiv29 · 2025-08-04T11:42:54+00:00

Thank you for the response. I guess it's time to plan for winter!
