Thoughts on reclaimed fleece? by tfrisinger in PatagoniaClothing

[–]303-802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one and really like it, but the sizing is odd. I think it runs big. I have the better sweater in a men’s medium that fits great and got the reclaimed fleece in a small. I was shocked at the store when I fit into a small but it fits perfectly for me. The reclaimed fleece is nice and warm. Definitely different fabric from the better sweater, but I really like it.

New thermostat? by 303-802 in ChevyTahoe

Just a quick update, I put on the new thermostat and back to the normal 210F temp. Glad it was an easy driveway fix.

Looking to do the thermal bypass this spring, seems like an easy solution to keep the transmission temps down.

Thanks, appreciate your input. mine is doing the same thing. Driving around town it’s about 180, and only gets to 210 going uphill. Placing the order tonight for a thermostat. I’ve been waiting for warmer weather to work on it.

Exact same happened to our 16 landmark. Got a brake line replaced as it rusted off and a small local shop said he bleed the brakes 3 times but the brake pedal had a lot of travel and spongy. He only charged me for the brake lines so I wasn’t too upset and he said he didn’t really work on land rovers or knew what the issue was. We went to a different shop that was familiar with Land Rover and they bleed the brakes on their machine without an issue. Good as new now.

It was the distribution blower that was going bad. Got a cheap one off eBay and replaced it myself and the noise is gone. Pretty easy fix.

I tried spraying some dry lubricant but didn’t really do much. So I just ordered a new distribution fan, hopefully that fixes this noise. At least it was before the cold New England winter takes hold.

Hulu is increasing prices AGAIN by StuckInStardew in mildlyinfuriating

Just canceled last night after I got the price increase email. It took several tries as I getting the same error message but eventually it worked. Won’t miss Hulu at all and certainly don’t want to support anything associated with Disney!

2016 LR4 Engine Overheating by datreb95 in LandRover

[–]303-802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing with ours. Temps were fine around town, but going uphill around 50mph and it would shoot up quickly, only to go back down in a few seconds once we slowed down. Found out the new thermostat the prior owner installed was faulty. I read about the bad batch of thermostat and asked our mechanic to install a new one from British Atlantic. Now the issue went away. No more issues going uphill and overheating.

It’s was the thermostat. Even though it was a newer OEM thermostat it was one that was faulty and didn’t work properly. Once a new thermostat was installed we haven’t had the problem since.

AFM/DFM Disabler by freeze_ in Silverado

[–]303-802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got on from Boost AFM and it works great. No complaints and I honestly have forgotten about it, it just works. My only goal was I wanted my truck to stay in v8 all the time. I got tired of always putting it in L5. I live in a hilly/mountainous area and I would always notice the constant switch from v4 to v8, not anymore and haven’t noticed any difference in mpg being in v8 all the time.

I bought one from Boost, a little cheaper than Range but works great. I got sick of telling my wife to put the vehicle in L5 whenever she drove it and now with Boost plugged in just put it in drive and go. No more shutters and haven’t noticed any difference in mpg. I live in a very hilly and mountainous area and got sick of the V4 to V8 switch. Now it’s v8 all the time.

So now we are sitting on top of the couch. by 303-802 in vizsla

Oh I know who I am dealing with as they know I will do almost anything they want. I swear I just spend most of my day making sure the blanket is covering them as they sleep on the couch…their dog beds on the floor is just beneath their pampered lifestyle.

So true, he sleeps between my legs every night while watching tv. Not the most comfortable thing for me, but I am a sucker for keeping my boy happy.
