Absolute worst experience with CAA , I think he concussed himself when he told me to get out of the truck & I opened my door on his head ...didn’t get off on right foot . I was like fuk this I don’t wanna see what we might hit , I couldn’t see out of his windshield & neither could he . Cut countless cars off , drifted , tried gauging me at drop off . Maybe he wuz having an off day & I get it he’s trying to make a living & prolly hates what he’s doing so I’m not gonna pursue anything with CAA . That bump on his head will be a reminder not to be a dik to people.

Change at CAA for tows, car broken down and you want to just take home and perhaps fix yourself or give some time to decide what to do, they are now labeling that a "convenience tow" no longer covered under your membership. In both cases we've seen in the last few weeks, push them on the phone and they back down saying they'll make an exception "this one time only" but are making a notation on your account that your aware tows like that are no longer covered.

[Screw]

Far from convenience tow lol , had many dealings with CAA & they’ve been very fair straightforward....this guy not so much
& vehicle left at a commercial lot not my driveway

[ZR]

Just letting others know things are changing at CAA that may make a new membership less appealing to some.
Changes we've seen have been over the last few weeks, thought first one was a fluke, happened again this week.

[Scrape]

If that is the case then why bother having CAA? Sadly this seems to be the case with everything.

Still fully covers your broken down on the road and tow to a shop for repairs. Not sure how they figure refusing tow home is gonna fly in the long run. For some, matter of figuring out where they are going to have fixed, for at least some others, saving up until they can afford the repair.

maybe they are trying to eliminate the amount of tows for a single vehicle, knowing it will need to be eventually towed again to a shop...just a thought

[ZR]

Combo of that and perhaps peeps abusing the intention of having CAA. Can guarantee at least some of the tows are fresh as is purchases with plates slapped on from another vehicle to get it home or to shop for certify. Some might even claim a break down when just wanting it moved from one storage location to another. Be interesting to read the CAA blerb on what is and is not covered.

[bluetoy]

Way back I had my F350 dually towed to Toronto because the trans was weak. I drove to meet the tow truck guy and he dropped me at a shopping center in Scarborough. Does that count as misuse of CAA... LOL I have used them to tow my broken down car home though. I would be pissed if they told me no.

It's in their terms and conditions. Tow to service facility.


Towing will be provided if attempts to make a vehicle safely operable at the roadside/location have been unsuccessful. Flatbeds or dollies will be used when required as per the AAA/CAA towing guide. Towing will be provided within an allotted Membership kilometres in CAA North & East Ontario territory in any direction from the point of disablement to the repair facility of a Member’s choice. Classic Members receive four tows up to 10 km, Plus Members receive four tows up to 200 km and Premier Members receive one tow up to 320 km and four tows up to 200 km. Towing beyond this set amount will be at the Member’s expense. A charge per kilometre will be applied by the service facility to any additional mileage that exceeds a Member’s coverage (service coverage varies by territory). For areas outside of CAA North & East Ontario territory, CAA Plus & Premier Memberships may provide a set number of kilometres of towing with the balance being charged to the Member. The Member may in turn request consideration of reimbursement from CAA North & East Ontario for the balance.

You'd expect that from "The Spectator" - I guess those arsonists have caused the droughts and 42C temps across the country as well. They should arrest the firebugs and Australia's problem will be solved - yay! Maybe they can investigate why some people in Venice keep leaving their taps running and causing flooding.

lack of forestry control. massive fires are a large part of world history. for years in a lot of places forestry effort including clean up and controlled burns have helped stem these. the pull back of conservation in the name of saving th eenvoronment have left built up of dead fall and debris that leads to fire running out of control.

Doesn't have to be common but it’s happened.

1850-1851: The "Black Thursday" fires of 6 February 1851 in Victoria, burnt the second largest area (approximately 5,000,000 hectares (12,000,000 acres)) in European-recorded history and killed more than one million sheep and thousands of cattle as well as taking the lives of 12 people



Was that due to man made climate change?

"it's been the hottest temperature in recorded history" - well okay, perhaps, however: 'history' and 'recorded history' are not even on the same scale and mostly objective cause nobody cares to actually do any research themselves...

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto/article-toronto-police-make-appeal-for-information-after-dog-found-abandoned/

Dog found in zipped suitcase at Toronto park appears to be in good health, animal services says

TORONTO -- A dog discovered inside a zipped suitcase by a group of joggers at an Etobicoke park this weekend is now in the care of Toronto Animal Services and appears to be in good health.

A post to the Facebook group Black Dog Rescue said the joggers were in Lambton Park, located in the area of Dundas Street West and Scarlett Road, on Saturday morning when they discovered a closed black suitcase appearing to move slightly.

“They could hear a dog inside,” the online post said. “They could tell the suitcase was thrown down the hill above where they found it.”

The group said 200-metre long “drag marks” were discovered leading up to where the suitcase was discovered.

“Thankfully the weather was warmer than normal or she could have frozen to death,” the post said.

On Monday morning, a spokesperson for the City of Toronto, Alex Burke, said the incident is being investigated by the Toronto Police Service.

“The dog was brought to Toronto Animal Services (TAS) by the finder and remains with TAS,” Burke said. “She appears to be in good health.”

Black Dog Rescue said the female Jack Russell mixed breed dog had been scanned for a microchip, but does not appear to have one. She does not have a collar or an identification tag.

The owner of the dog has not been located.

Toronto police confirmed they have received a report on this matter and an investigation is underway.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact investigators at 416-808-1100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

Tried the vets recommended shampoo, it did nothing. Then tried the spray.. again nothing. So I said fuck it and ordered the top rated amazon mange shampoo.. on his 4th bath and no signs of improvement. Poor lil guy looks horrible (bet he feels it to with all the scratching).

I’ll just go broke going back and forth to the vet. Don’t mind paying if the problem resolved but I feel like they just rape my wallet every time and do fuck all. Insane what a vet charges here in the GTA.

The pair was hurling snowballs at passing cars with a group of children on Saturday evening, Milwaukee police said in a series of tweets. One of the snowballs struck a white Toyota, and the driver of the car shot at the children, police said.
Police found the 12-year-old girl and the 13-year-old boy minutes apart. Both of their injuries were non-life-threatening. Both children are being treated at a local hospital, police said.

What happened to it?

started throwing an intermittent. "turbo boost pressure system error"

mechanic thought it might be a faulty map sensor. the one day, while waiting for the map sensor, it went into limp mode and wouldn't come out. tried the map sensor and that didn't fix it.

talked to a couple other Izuzu tech and they said turbo.

sure enough the variable vains set up is stuck.

found a reman turbo. and decided id change it myself instead of paying a couple grand to have someone else do it.

better than a detonation failure.

[ZR]

So veins stuck in max boost I assume?

[5.4MarkVIII]

Looks like it. Leaver is cranked all the way to one side and won’t come back

[ZR]

Are so many years of turbos being dead nutz reliable, someone came up with a way to make em fail faster...............job well done.
How many kms on the truck?

[5.4MarkVIII]

140000 ish.

Izuzu wanted $5k for the turbo. Found a reman one for 2800. This is one month after the $10k brake job.

[mavrrrick]

OUCH!!

[ZR]

Your not kidding on ouch.
Good reason you see most light-ish duty tow trucks n similar have gone back to mostly gassers.

[Scrape]

Sometimes I really wonder about turbo motors.

[Laffs]

Only turbo failures I've seen on ours are from other issues like clogged oil coolers or EGR problems. Worth having a look around while its apart and making sure all systems are good before you slap a new snail on and it fails again shortly after.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Everything else looks okay. I contacted an izuzu dealer in Hamilton because carrier centres in London are crooks.

They said it was common. had done 3 in the last week of the same vintage with the same problem.

To top it off carrier in London had quoted my mechanic $5k for just the turbo

Asked the Hamilton guys On a price for the turbo just for shits. $2700 and that included a the kit with all the studs and gaskets plus he said they also supply the edge gaskets and the exhaust gaskets because I’ll need them. All for 2700 and they have it all in stock.

Debating moving to montreal. We have enough money to buy a house in the area in cash. So no need to make 150k a year to survive in the awful GTA anymore meaning I can take a job that doesn't require me to be on meds to survive anymore. Wife can choose to work or not.

I wonder how I can pass mechanical inspections with all the mods on my fox lol.

Wow Fox, you’ll love it there, your quality of life will change for the better I’m sure. As a former Montrealer myself, you will have to immerse yourself in that culture or else it may take you longer to adjust.i wish you and your family well.

now for your modded mustang, go directly to see Ted at Mustang Direct in Ville St Constant on HWY 132 on the south shore. He will make this process painless.

i say this because my cousin from there purchased a Super Snake from a good friend of mine with as you know, modded to extreme and all went well.

Ted is a very good friend of Joe DaSilva here and runs the same type of operation. He is English speaking like you and I if you have a problem with the language.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-reportedly-killed-in-california-helicopter-crash/amp/

Legendary NBA player Kobe Bryant has died in a California helicopter crash, reports said Sunday.

He was 41.

Bryant was among at least four people traveling in his private helicopter over Calabasas when a fire broke out, sending the chopper spiraling from the sky, according to TMZ Sports.

There were no survivors, and the cause of the crash is under investigation, according to TMZ.

Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, was not among those aboard the chopper, according to the report.

Bryant starred for two decades with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five championships and making 18 All-Star Games before retiring after the 2016 season.

Still blown away by this. Growing up Kobe was THE guy. Seems so surreal someone who you look up to as an icon growing up and was larger than life to be gone in the snap of a finger. Life is so fragile, nothing is guaranteed and we're foolish thinking otherwise. The fact that he had his daughter with him, beyond heart breaking. Nothing makes sense.

[Foxstang]

Severance for director level management after 5 years of service is 5 months, right? And being in your 40's. I need to confirm with a lawyer but from what I read that sounds legit. It's not binary and includes different factors.

[RedSN]

Sounds about right.
Definitely consult a lawyer. Your employer will.

In 1-2 gears 100% I go all the way to 5500 rpm and I get back pressure.

You'd have to see if tuner locked the tune or if you can access options, if locked, simple enough to have them alter.
If it's a stock 2v under the blower, likely prudent to make 6-6200 your absolute top pull.

Not to be a dick, is traction control on? Also you can sometimes adjust rev limit in the handheld but it's not by gear so if you can rev it out past 5500 in 3rd-5th then the limiter isn't your issue.

[ZR]

Thank you.

If rev limiter is set, should start to flutter / lay down when it hits the limiter.

If unsure, especially since it's boosted, strongly suggest you get someone in the know to drive it and give an opinion. Gimme a shout come nice weather, happy to go for a buzz in it with you.
If limiter is not set, all working as it should, under boost should be having to control yourself not buzzing it to 6500 or more. Like seeing Jeff n Chuck at Beatty n Woods roll their eyes when we talk about how at Mosport / up the hill, Cobra saw 7-7500 shifts to pull mph I was shooting for up n over the hill. With Whipple, no need to spin it that hard.

When the weather warms up I’ll take it to you to take a look. I’m no mechanic, I could just be getting over ridden by traction. I’m not a mechanic so I don’t push things that don’t want to be pushed

I think that's your traction control kicking on my good man, especially if you're testing it now when the roads are frozen. In second try to accelerate using 1/2- 3/4 throttle past 5500 RPM. If it goes beyond 5500 with light throttle it's not a limiter issue it's a case of TC stepping in. Because you have a centri blower it makes more boost with higher RPM. Not super uncommon for it to try and break loose in lower gears at higher RPM.

Under boost, IMHO, TC should always be shut off to ensure it's not just taken a huge gulp of fuel n air only to see TC system shut it down and you lift a head or worse.

Mine is set to default to off because of this. Heard horror stories. Better to modulate the throttle with your right foot than let 90's era electronics step in.

Yes exactly why bulk of tuners set it that way. On my own, prefer to turn off at start myself but just how I like it.

I don't think it's traction... you said it's an '03 I believe? TC works different in the new edge cars, it cuts off the fuel and just bogs the car right down, least in all three of mine it worked like that, I couldn't figure what was wrong one day when I tried to do a little wheel spin from a light in first gear, I looked like an idiot I really thought I had heard the engine and something was wrong. but if it's consistently just not going past 5500 that sounds like something else, you would hear and feel the fuel shut off otherwise...

anyways, just a thought, if it does turn out to be TC though, like Laffs said he's got his permanently shut of, you can do this with your tuner, I had it shut off in the Black Mach (well my Dad did) and in Red one it was still on, so I had to hit the button everytime I started the car...

I have a '14 1500 in the fleet with the 5.7L. I bought the 16 plugs for it over 150k ago and just never got around to it. With over 320k on it now and it still runs like a top. I'm thinking i'll just leave those plugs in those aluminum heads as long as I can now.
