I've got a 2014 Chevy Equinox with new pluigs, coils, fuel injectors, recent top-engine carbon clean, new AC Delco O2 sensors, and relitively new CAT. Getting a P219A-00 for Fuel trim cyliner balance. Any ideas where to start diagnosing? I saw this online as possible causes:
Leaking or contaminated fuel injectors Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel Leaking evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve Exhaust or intake air system leaks Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open Ignition system Incorrectly seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap Just curious if anyone has had this issue with a GMC of Chevy and succesfully diagnosed.

No, cars haven't always had wipers. Early automobiles lacked many safety features, including wipers, leaving drivers to rely on goggles for protection from rain and debris.
The First Windscreen Wipers
The first wiper was patented in 1903 by Mary Anderson. Her manually operated design allowed drivers to clear the windshield using a lever. In 1917, Charlotte Bridgwood improved on this by introducing an automatic system powered by rollers. Despite their innovations, these early wipers were slow to gain popularity.
Widespread Adoption
By the 1920s, as cars became more common, manufacturers started including wipers as standard equipment. Early systems were vacuum-powered, but in the 1960s, electric wipers became the norm, offering more reliable and efficient performance.
Modern Wipers
Today’s wipers are advanced, featuring variable speeds, intermittent settings, and rain-sensing technology. These improvements ensure clear visibility and safety in all weather conditions.
Wipers have come a long way from their manual beginnings, evolving into essential safety features that every car relies on today.

When Should You Replace Your Wiper Blades?
Wiper blades keep your windshield clear, but since they’re made of rubber, they wear out with time and need to be swapped out regularly. How long they last really depends on how often you use them, where you drive, and whether you take care of them. Watch for these signs that indicate it's time for new wipers:
Streaking or Noise
Notice streaks or that awful squeaking sound? Yep, it’s probably time for a new pair. For a temporary fix, clean the blades with vinegar or alcohol, but replace them as soon as possible.
Visible Damage
Check the rubber blades regularly for cracks, chips, or deformities. Any damage means it's time for new wipers.
Age Considerations
Standard wipers typically last 6-12 months
High-quality blades with proper care can last 2+ years
Frequent use or harsh conditions (sun exposure, dry wiping) may require replacement every 6 months
Just a heads-up—if your car sits in the sun a lot or you use your wipers all the time, it’s smart to check them more often.

link hidden, please login to view proudly shares the story of its recent NTN Bearing Community Engagement event. This event took place at link hidden, please login to view in Lake Bluff, Illinois. On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, a dedicated group of NTN employees volunteered for the charitable organization. The organization sources and distributes new and gently used books to children in the Chicagoland area. Volunteers Pack and Inspect Books
With the help of volunteers, Bernie’s Book Bank has provided over 23 million books. These books went to families without children’s books at home since 2009. During this event, NTN volunteers packed eight books into bags for distribution. They also inspected donated used books to ensure their good condition. In total, NTN employees assembled 1,852 bags with 14,816 books for distribution.
NTN Bearing Community Engagement: Supporting Local Communities
“Over the past two years, we have formed a great relationship with Bernie’s Book Bank,” said Pete Eich, president of NTN Bearing Corporation of America. “For many of our employees who participated, including myself, we believe there is no better feeling than to reach out and help kids. Many of us have children or grandkids who love to have books read to them before taking a nap or going to bed at night. Unfortunately, there are kids in the Chicagoland area who do not have this same opportunity. Our involvement with Bernie’s Book Bank helps address this issue and brings the joy of reading to many children.”

“I am looking forward to strengthening our relationship with our established community partners during quarterly community outreach programs in 2025,” said Eich. “We also look forward to creating new partnerships.”
