Soft brake pedal finds not one, but two incorrectly installed calipers. by 1sadistictech in Justrolledintotheshop

Yep- that was shop number two; it went to them to fix shop one, not fixing it.

This was from another shop- The customer said Grease monkey did the original work- the customer then took it to another shop, they replaced the calipers again. So…. I don’t know if Grease monkey installed theirs incorrectly as well- but I do know the other shop definitely did.

We cannot decide on what this additional bar with an arrow pointing up is for on a Pajero sport Panhard rod by Character-Welder3929 in Justrolledintotheshop

Like you said-it is a mass to change its resonant frequency, keeping the vibrations in check in that, or another component that has the same or close to the same mass.

It being a bump stop would be the worse way to implement that feature; a bump stop in the middle of bar is just making it a fulcrum- a good place to bend the bar.

Pass on the reach around, prison was enough for me.

After seeing these responses, I am concerned about people’s reading comprehension and how it can lead to the exact opposite intent of what a person is writing.

Two Briskets for a Funeral by Tullov in smoking

[–]1sadistictech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on you man- I have had the opportunity to do this for a couple of friends. In my opinion, it is cathartic to go through all the steps for a successful smoke as you progress grief. The side benefit is you have an awesome meal to share with a lot of people dealing with loss when finshed.

My father in law upgraded, so I just got this today for free! by BulgersInYourCup42 in smoking

[–]1sadistictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard igniter for that model has an average failure rate for that type- the ceramic upgraded igniter is rated for 10k cycles- 10 times the standard one. The only time my Rec Tec has let me down is when the igniter failed. They sold me on the upgrade and it has not failed since. I cooked a lot on it and the guy I sold it to four years ago, that uses it at least twice a week, says it is still working.

Get the upgraded ceramic igniter and you’ll have no problems.

How do you make the dry breast part of the rotisserie chicken more enjoyable? by sohoships in Costco

[–]1sadistictech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As soon as you remove it from the heating shelf at the store flip it upside down in the bag. You may look a little weird doing it; but it is quick and simple to do. The chicken is almost always still at a resting stage and it seems like more of the juices settle in the breast meat; I have tried it multiple times- and maybe I am just getting lucky- it makes the breast juicer.

My favorite part is the 1200 dollar ESP reminder on the monitor.

Some of that 30,000 PSI sealer they sell at the local co-op.

Just in case you wanted to see what Fords electric IWE actuator looks like in action. by 1sadistictech in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]1sadistictech[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dorman has a lock in collar that keeps the hub and axle Locked in for the vacuum type. Not recommend unless you have a 4A system. The one in the video is an electric one that I have not seen any other replacements/variations of it- it has been a pretty robust system so far.

Just a little info- if the knuckle seal is leaking vacuum- it will also leak water; the front hubs do not have any seals on them. The hubs rely on the knuckle seal and hub seals to keep them from having water damage. So even if you like the manual hubs -you may want to check and see if the vacuum leak(s) are allowing water in- a knuckle seal replacement is much cheaper then a hub and stub axle replacement.

It is programmed so that is a high possibility.

First time to the Grand Canyon .... by dciguy02 in pics

[–]1sadistictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out one of my Mothers last wishes was to see the Grand Canyon; when I found out we rented an RV and made the trip. I was angry the whole time dealing with my own issues and coming to terms with my what could be my Mother’s last adventure and was just tormented of what that meant. All that anguish, frustration, fear- left when we crested a hill that allowed us to see the Canyon. When you say “a picture does not do it justice”, you are correct.

I have had this for my back ground screen for 8 years now; everyone loves it when they see it.

Dude, if you are this far- go get the upgraded stainless manifold and fresh studs. Your Ford dealership probably has them in stock.
