Again, if you spoke to the ancient Romans about cars, planes, televisions, radios... they would have thought you were a heretic talking about the supernatural. What was once unbelievable and inconceivable...

Threw a cam position sensor code, got the sensor replaced. Few weeks later it threw the same code. After two days at the dealership and a reported call to GM they replaced the engine due to what they said was "excessive crankshaft endplay". I didn't question it much, mostly because it was just barely still under the powertrain warranty so I was thinking that I'd be okay getting a new engine at 60k if its free to me.

Gotcha. I'll see if anything obviously funky is going on down there. On my way home from work the left signal position on the lever didn't do anything, the right signal position on the lever activated the left side signals, and I lost the hazards. Got to be more centralized than just the signal switch if I lost the hazards, too, right?

Saw a Camaro with the 3.4 v6 where someone installed a heavy duty clutch and the extra force would wear out the thrust bearing on the crankshaft. Coming to a stop the engine would stall because the crank would move so far forward it would lose the crank sensor signal. I learned something that day.

Oops. I guess it could've been worse. Almost looks like he just parked it there.

I've got a scan tool but it's the bare minimum. It has thrown a code for EVAP P0449 but I can't really see how that's related.
Nothing obviously wrong at the BCM, everything is clean and no scorching or anything crazy like that. Still just starting simple and disconnecting the battery for an hour or so, the internet says that it should reset.
It can't hurt, at least.

It did keep running, just once though.

I have a deep fear that the outcome of all this will be a clearing of small companies and the final domination of the megaconglomerates.

Now that my financially imprudent partners have lost a big chunk of change and are askeered, they have changed their mind and it's looking likely the group will sell out.
Sad. Very Sad.

On a more personal level, my small organization had been in discussion with a HUGE "partner" and previous to the current crisis, the consensus was to stay small and lean.
Now that my financially imprudent partners have lost a big chunk of change and are askeered, they have changed their mind and it's looking likely the group will sell out.
Sad. Very Sad.

But also, since I hadn't said it yet. Wish it were under better circumstances for everyone.

We have two franchise restaurants in our area that have said they probably will never reopen.

Sunday I did 50+ miles, a level higher ride than I had been doing. No surprise my legs and even lungs weren't up for it. But my neck also bothered me. The next day it was apparent I had pulled something in my lower neck or upper shoulder, presumably from looking behind me.
Four days later and it still hurts almost as much as on Monday. wut

THE CURE
Roll neck slowly left. Try not to break anything by rushing it. Then roll slowly to right. Repete a few times. Then reach to the back of the neck and you should feel one vertebrae that seems to be protruding. Push it around from left to right a few time and you should feel it pop back into place.
I do some neck exercises almost daily to maintain strength in the effected muscles and this helps minimize recurrence.
