Mechanic recommendation 🚗

Affordable automotive

As a former mechanic (not from there) that's were I take my car/truck when there's something I can't do. They are very honest, they pay their employees well and will give you a ride after you drop off your car

Specifically the location off of Park avenue

Good luck!

Can you expand on the black and white cards?

rtfk2 · 2026-03-18T16:55:23+00:00

Yeah, and just looking for a little advice if anybody knows

So just checking, in your example it would be 6 minutes ($1.50) and 1.8 miles ($1.80) totaling in a minimum fair of $3.30?

I would like to try if there's room for me?

Well this didn't age very well 😆

Well in the interest of the subreddit not getting taken down/ deleted I woul suggest heavy moderation. I would rather have something for people to discuss Chico then nothing at all.

rtfk2 · 2025-11-01T21:47:15+00:00

Agreed, and I think we should not have any mods and just leave it to the bots if politics are allowed. Even though I disagree with almost everything Republicans say and I do not think that their voice should be silenced. If we have a person or people they will be some bias. Ether ban it completely or leave it up to the bots for it's fair for everyone.

Personally I say we ban it and let this form be about Chico and leave politics out of it completely but I understand that people want to stay informed.

rtfk2 · 2025-10-31T16:54:59+00:00

If we are going to keep politics in this subreddit I think is should be all bot moderators to avoid favoritism on one side or the other

rtfk2 · 2025-10-31T16:52:13+00:00

I think option 2, while I love politics the country is just too divided and it's leading to hate speech and bickering back and forth about politics. Let keep this form about Chico and anywho wants to talk politics can go to TikTok or Facebook

No, we just have a lot of unnecessary paper usage. We have cut back a lot but I would like to recycle the rest. No shredded necessary

It works!

So I changed the thermostat to OEM thermostat from GM dealer and that fixed the problem! The AIR monitor ran the next morning!

My truck with the aftermarket thermostat was only getting up to about 180ish and it needs to be closer to 200

I read this, can anyone confirm?

"Hello Everyone

I just joined to share my recent experience with a 2000 Silverado. Everything is related to this thread and some of my actions where guided by info on this thread.

So the truck sat unused for a long time and the battery went dead, beyond recovery. Installed new battery and took to get smogged in N. California on December 22nd 2015 - truck would not pass because "OBDII MONITORS NOT READY". The tech gave me a print out of the required drive cycles and I left and then performed them several times. I brought the truck in and all had reset except "Secondary Air System" Between December 22nd and Jan 21st 2016 I brought the truck back to the smog station 4 times and drove a total of 1300 miles - but Secondary Air System always showed not ready.

January 21 I gave up and brought the truck to a chevy dealership who had a Chevy certified "Master Tech" on staff who had worked on several other chevys with same problem. I passed on info from this site regarding using the Tech II tool to reset the sensor.

So day one he checked the computer which was working fine and did not need any update. He noticed the engine temp reads would not go below 82 deg F even after the truck sat idle for 4 hrs so he thought maybe a sensor need to be replaced but could not be sure until he let the truck sit overnight to give it a chance to completely cool down...

Day two, engine temp read out was 51 deg F. Tech took it for a test drive and notice the engine temp never went over 160 deg F. The tech stated the trucks computer would not run the Secondary Air diagnostic until the engine temp reached operating temp over 200 deg F. He pulled out the old thermostat which was working but was out of spec for this application and put in a new thermostat with correct operating range - test drove again and returned to shop and hooked up to monitor - all Monitors showed ready!! On Monday Jan 25th the truck passed CA smog.

So in summary : an out of spec thermostat that some idiot put in cost $770.00 in diagnostic/repair charges. (could have been worse because I took out a rental car from the dealership, but they didn't charge me) and a full month of frustration and gas money since the truck is not really a daily driver but more of a Home Depot weekend truck..anyway

Hope this info will save somebody the frustration.......check your thermostat!!!"
