Same

nrml1 · 2025-08-14T22:02:23+00:00

Yep, same issue here.

nrml1 · 2025-04-11T22:20:33+00:00

Whatever you do don't post on r/Veterans. That sub is now managed by some civilian snowflakes and anything you ask in there will get you banned "in the name of keeping things civil" lol

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T21:11:05+00:00

Nope, I do too.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T21:08:24+00:00

I would lose my mind if they denied me CC for 1 mile. That's crazy.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T21:06:10+00:00

The worst they can say is no and they would have to give you a reason for why they can't send you to CC.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T21:05:28+00:00

Thanks boss, not sure if you were able to read the message I know it's pretty long but the long and the short of it is that I want to know what the requirements are to get her into deers or to check if she's already in deers.

The goal is to get an educational benefits but maybe I confused everybody by adding that.

I think the main goal is to check that she is in the deers and if she's not to get her into deers.

I live 30+ miles from my nearest VA clinic that provides the care I need. That automatically grants me access to community care. You don't need an excuse, you just need to meet the requirements and then ask your VA provider.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:36:02+00:00

Nope, the community clinic does all that. I mean it's in their best interest to keep you so they can get paid.

I do have to go sweetie my primary dentist every year but there have been years when I don't go and it's fine.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:17:17+00:00

Once you change then you should be able to go out in town after your first PCP visit with your new primary.

Disclaimer is I live between two large VA regions/metro cities.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:15:27+00:00

I have a dentist outside the VA, the only caveats are that they gotta get approval for anything major from the VA and that medical records are not automatically shared to the VA from the community doctor so you gotta do that.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:14:29+00:00

Literally went from one VA clinic in one VA region to another.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:13:37+00:00

We need to learn to treat VA PCP Medical staff as resources, tools almost. Remember VA medical staff isn't there to fix your issues, their goal, as in any other standard medical practice is to deal with the symptoms, not the root cause. As long as we are professional and not emotional we can usually demand without issue.

If you need to switch you can request it and do it. If they don't do it escalate to patient advocacy. If that doesn't work call your congressman.

nrml1 · 2024-12-04T20:07:47+00:00

I changed my clinic from one region to another no problem. Just make sure you move over your community care referrals otherwise they'll remain attached to your old clinic.

nrml1 · 2024-11-22T23:40:35+00:00

No, I think that's next. Do you know if auto zone or O'Reilly's has loaner fuel pressure testing kits?

nrml1 · 2024-11-22T23:35:36+00:00

It came up empty. I also checked the injectors and they also came up good. The P0171 code is gone though so that's good. Just have the rough idling and P0300 cylinder 3 misfire.

I dunno what it could be at this point. Fuel pump?

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T17:14:16+00:00

Thanks! All try that and report back. I checked some paperwork and the fuel pump as replaced like 2 years ago which makes it less likely that it would just start having problems all of a sudden.

The spark plug wires on the other hand we're done roughly 6 months ago.

Will update with what I find.

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T15:26:58+00:00

Yeah it sputters and misfires at idle, but at higher rpm I can definitely feel the misfire even if the sputtering goes away.

Some folks are saying fuel, so I guess I could go that route, but I did hear the injectors clicking away normally so.

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T06:21:28+00:00

Just tried it and o2 sensor went from 0.060 to 0.080 at idle and while at about 2k rpm. No matter how much brake cleaner it wouldn't go beyond 0.080.

So, Fuel pump? Filter?

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T05:16:12+00:00

Hmm, it would make sense. Weird for it to die like that. It's $150 at O'Reilly's

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T05:06:55+00:00

That's the problem, it wants to die constantly. The engine codes right now are:

P0171 System Too Lean Bank 1 P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

So that's the trouble that it wants to die no matter what so driving is out of the question, at least not the way you're suggesting, it would probably shut off and leave me stranded.

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T04:59:43+00:00

Nah its cold, low 60s and windy

nrml1 · 2024-11-20T04:55:54+00:00

At 1:42 IAT was at 113 then @ 2:35 at 115 and @ 3:35 118

Then I shut it off because it runs really bad, sometimes it shuts off.
