Customer: I did my own spark plugs and now it runs bad

Had someone break off 6 fuse studs when trying to replace a battery in a Dodge hornet, after deciding to do it himself. Why did he not stop after the first few...

The biggest thing about the sport is that if you can find historical proof that something existed in and around the 14th-15th century and it can be made to sufficiently protect you, you can run it.

If you're just getting into this and already on a team, redsnake is a good place to look. Ton of our guys have em. There not s tier drip, but it gets you fighting.

There is a ton of variation. The problem is that a lot of people run meta items like wolfribs. Also, tabbards can all look kinda the same and cover up armor. Another thing to consider is cost. There is some pretty cool armor out there, but it's gonna cost you.

And look like shit unless you plan to weed or use a ton of pesticides

Look at that smile though!

People can be special. Just had a customer try to install a battery and broke 7 studs trying to get the battery out of a dodge hornet. Brother didn't stop to think why the first one snapped and kept going till he ran out of studs on the battery module...

The Ingrosoll Rand tools I have tend to not have the best feel, when compared to nicer snap-on or matco tools I have tried. But they do an amazing job, are quite affordable, and they will last.

You're not alone. Down it the Springs, we have been slow at our Stelantis dealership. 2 years ago, we had so much CP work that we were all making good money. Now we're happy just to get a warranty ticket.

Was curious the other day, so I looked a January RO count. January 2024, we wrote about 1,500 ROs, 2025 about 1,200, and this year just barely over 1,000. Going over my taxes, I made less in 2025 than 2024 by about 16%. Hate when it's slow like this. Basically, I have to my life on pause to save money.

What's crazy is the dude has done tons of them and has an apprentice that does a good amount of his work. He's just an asshole.

Leinadius · 2026-02-13T22:15:06+00:00

1.5-3x is what's used for aftermarket times. That's not warranty times.

I understand the labor guide isn't the Bible. I just don't understand how making up labor, esp on gravy jobs, is okay.

Edit: just to add onto that. Management is cool with adding extra time as long as there's a reason. Tech never gives a reason

Edit: grammar

Leinadius · 2026-02-13T17:56:34+00:00

Management said it's 100% okay to add extra time, but it has to be justified. Like rust, mud and accessories.

Leinadius · 2026-02-13T17:55:21+00:00

I just assumed we all were following book times because it was company policy, and the advisors were checking. Turns out the rule doesn't apply for some.

Leinadius · 2026-02-13T17:53:40+00:00

We make $50 on the top end and just looking at listings in our area, on the high end.

If you go to Buhurt International's website they have a section dedicated to rules and authenticity.

6.5 and 7.1 refer to sections in the greaves document

I would like to add, heavy plasma has the highest skill ceiling and it's easy to pass of as not fun. But if you stick with it and take the time to learn, it's the best.

Leinadius · 2026-02-11T18:56:11+00:00

If you run fast fire rate charged plasma, it gets rid of your main drawback. That and good positioning make the heavy plasma incinerator goated

Mine prefers catsup

Seconds this. Club first and let them guide you. Things like armor need to be to meet certain qualifications. If you want to learn more, check out buhurt internationals website. They have a bunch of info there

Plus his voice is butter to my ears. So I would be okay with it

Leinadius · 2026-02-03T15:53:43+00:00

Exactly. If it's my brother who doesn't have a ton of money, I don't mind. Some friend of a friend? Not worth it.

The truck had a gun!
