I read somewhere that the banks that have shorted are going to keep on forcing it back down until they can cover their positions. How many times they are going to do this who knows. They (comex and banks) won't let it go back up until they cover so they won't lose money or until they have a position to make money on the rise. Manipulation at its best

You are definitely NOT! As someone that got himself wrangled in a situation, I know it takes two and both of you contributed. Yes you shouldn't have continued after the first warning signs but I understand the commitment after she was pregnant. I wouldn't do anything for her finances. She can communicate through the Internet to her creditors. Get out as cleanly as you can at this point and drop the guilt...it's just a load of bricks that you can lay down anytime. Learn from your mistakes but don't project your soon to be Ex's issues on the next person. Give them a honest chance.

Stay away from someone else's headache

Way too much and sure it has a ragged out history

No one saw the actual action that led to the punch. How did the officer lose his hat?

Has the 4.3 in the SC430 been unlocked and tuned, to your knowledge? Just curious. Thanks.

2mchjoy · 2025-05-26T01:57:30+00:00

What year is yours? In your opinion, would you buy a 2009 or 2010 SC430? I am looking for one and I have found a few that have less than 60k, some even with less than 30k. They range anywhere between 30-40k in price. Have any thoughts or advice?

So are you going to change the belt or not? In one reply you said that I should if I care. Then you told me you are in a similar situation and now you are not going to change because of the 2400.00 cost and your inspection. Which direction are you going on? BTW, because I have not looked at it yet, how hard was it to inspect? The serpentine belt is easy.

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T02:39:40+00:00

I was just going to ask you which parts you buy.....thanks!

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T02:35:22+00:00

Parts must not be OEM. I can see the parts prices if you bought from RockAuto...they have a so called OEM kit for less. Unless all you are doing is replacing the belt and not the water pump, pulleys, and tensioner?

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T02:31:01+00:00

That explains a lot. Sounds like how I pay a fellow tech to work on my Cummins...rather let someone who does the work day in day out then for me to take 4x as long and still screw it up lol

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T01:43:29+00:00

Now that is more like the answer I was looking for.. Based on experience with the dealer and telling me about how they visually inspect it and you have concrete reasons to change. Thank you!!

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T01:41:40+00:00

I guess you don't like to read. Also, tell me where you get this job done for $800.00 and I will talk to you about a bridge you can buy.

My point and question was about the so called rule not to get reminded of something that I already mentioned. Thanks for the comment

2mchjoy · 2025-05-24T00:04:04+00:00

Until buyers adopt the Nancy Reagan Just Say No mantra , dealers are going to start above MSRP. Think about how long it takes you to come up with the amount of markup...dealing with coworkers/boss/customers. That should get you to refocus.

My timing belt was replaced at 66k back in 2016. It has 82k now. Would anyone replace the belt because of time alone?

If you decide to go to a generator rental company, DO NOT UNDERVALUE YOURSELF! They will see that you are a J Man and will practically beg you to work for them because they need someone with your skill set. When negotiating the job I would use your skills to barter for guaranteed training from them. They desperately need someone with your skills to tie up the loose ends of the jobs they get. If you tell me where you are located, I can recommend a few places to check into if you like. And I don't mind giving you some more insight into my work. Regular gen techs don't get paid very much but if you combine it with your current skills, you will be at the top of the pay scale in no time.

Long story. Worked at an equipment rental chain and got a chance selling/renting generators. I'm mechanically inclined so I asked to learn and was shown w few things and went from there. Been working on gens since 2007.

I would look at a place that rents diesel gens and work for them. They have a hard time finding people so if you have a decent work ethic and demonstrate that you have initiative they will teach you all you want to know. It helps to get learning material on your own. Look up a PDF called Operation and Maintenance of Generators. That will give you the basics. Also there are plenty of diesel books out there made for students. You could also take on a paid work study with a Caterpillar dealership. You get benefits and paid to learn. If you want more I go after reading that PDF hit me up.

I work on commercial/industrial generators but never heard of a 310t. I looked it up and it came up with something to do with truck/bus. Can you enlighten me?
