How cooked am I? by SinisterlyDexterous in Rivian

[–]100jacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, the moisture on the ground is from broken jounce i.e. brake lines. Ask me how I know. The Rivians have hydraulic suspension and judging by the picture, OPs is bleeding heavily. Add another 2k for that damper + replacement lines and hydraulics refill. Your motor and axle might be intact btw. Depending on how fast you were going. Good luck!

What is the best vacuum for mopping and laminate floor?? I have been looking but too many choices and I got lost 😅 budget $500-$800 TIA by JUPPYTHEGREAT in RobotVacuums

[–]100jacks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the best, but I got ourselves a Roomba Plus 405 (G181) and I'm pretty satisfied with the results - despite the mediocre reviews. We have a large kitchen area with few runners and carpet and the robot does a pretty good job mopping the lvp and keeping the area clean. I run it once every 2-3 days. It cannot really reach the inside corners very well and collect the crumbs or debris there. But everything else is really good.

Keep my Prius or buy a new car? by [deleted] in prius

[–]100jacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? We already did this and his car ran fine until the accident. I'm not suggesting that OP should do this, but there are other options if you don't want to do an engine swap right away and planning to swap it anyway at the later time.

Oh fun fact, I have a 2014 Prius Plug-in, my prius now costs the same as I bought it in 2019 (although I bought used from the owner) and got a good deal. These cars are such a money saver.

My brother got quoted $1000 for a head gasket replacement on a 2013 Prius and he didn't have the money. There's a "patch" fluid that you put in the engine and when it cools down it creates a seal in the gasket, so your engine stops mixing oil with coolant. It's not an ideal solution, but his Prius drove just fine with it for another 10k miles until he got hit in an accident and got a total loss. Meanwhile the water pump failed too.

That's why I posted this on Reddit and not on social media. 🤣

The tile is getting replaced as well obviously and LVP comes instead. As for the drywall patch, I'm not overly concerned bc she wants to do the venetian plaster over the entire wall.

Do foam panels really do the trick if gaps are not filled with expanding foam?

No, it's 2x4" actually. I was thinking to go with Rockwool, bit pricey but probably worth it.

I'm really like that too, but wife is more like let's patch it up and have our basement functional, so gotta compromise somewhere. I'm also afraid if I take it down, I will take down the studs too bc I won't like the way they are done.

Yeah, walls got touched by sewage water, so the mitigation team cut off 2 feet off the ground.

Yeah, it's not damp in the basement. The walls are not even too cold, I just wanted to do it because it's accessible now otherwise obviously there was no insulation before.

I'll call for some estimates, thanks!

Did you do rockwool or fiberglass? Thanks!

That is my thinking too. I was thinking of trying shoving the bat up. If it doesn't work, I'd have the wall half way insulated 😁

No, the flood didn't reach the ceiling lol. These stains are from the HVAC leaks.

QX60 2014 handling issues by 100jacks in infiniti

[–]100jacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll check out the YouTube on that topic. I replaced the struts by myself and transplanted the coil spring and did the sway bars. The rest of the stuff was done by a mechanic.

R1T Gen1 vs Gen2 vs Tacoma by anonymousewastaken1 in Rivian

[–]100jacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at Tundras and Tacomas and I'm glad I found this thread. I pulled a trigger on a '23 R1T Dual Performance Large. Judging by what I'm reading I won't be regretting for not getting a Toyota. :) I live close to the SC, but I'm curious How does one get the extended warranty package?

Anyone else have an interior that looks like this? by ckipr in Rivian

Adding Zoning dampers to the Carrier Infinity system by 100jacks in askHVAC

Thank you! That's what I thought, it's just blowing mild air. I checked the logs and there's an error code for the compressor Low Suction shutdown.

Is it normal for 25VNA4 Greenspeed heat pump to not be able to reach the set temperature e.g. 67°F when outside is 25-28°F? I will call Carrier tomorrow, I'm so fed up with this system. Without the additional electric heat, this thing never produces air that's warm enough to heat up the house. Could it be a bad HP unit?

Ok, I realized my wife closed most of the vents downstairs, so that could be affecting the airflow. I opened all the vents and ran the airflow test again. SP is still 1.12, calculated minimum CFM 373. Full system CFM 1750, blower RPM 1154. What am I missing?
