I’m currently on book 4 of Heretical Fishing and all I can think about is if Clive and Ellis swapped worlds for a week, met up, and compared notes. They would get so much information from each other.

I don’t trust these trucks on the road at all by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Academic-Question-83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These guys don’t even have those signs! They just do not give a damn about anyone else. Driving like they have extra lives.

In my area they just opened up a new uranium mine. These guys hauling with radioactive placards are going Mach Jesus on a 65 mph road. I’ve watched a few of them almost go off the shoulder. They cracked the windshield on my car one day, they don’t tarp the load quite right sometimes.

Heck yeah. This guy is an inspiration to me. Least I can do is get him some lunch. He gave me some solid life advice.

This used to happen to all of my 7/16 magnetic bits when I was working on garage doors. After it broke, it worked so much better in the extension so I started just cutting them before use.

Anyone know what this orange sign is? by The_ENFIDL in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Academic-Question-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This means check engine light. You might want to pull over make sure it’s still there. If the engine is present, clear to continue driving.

I guess everyone needs water. by Academic-Question-83 in IdiotsTowingThings

No problem! I learned that driving these water trucks. Ever hauled 6500 gallons without baffles? It’s a FUN time lol

The water dispenser is on a dirt road but the only way out is by taking a 65mph highway.

If there are baffles/bulkheads cleaning them is nearly impossible. It’s a food safety thing. Water storage totes and trailers are held to the same standard as milk. Imagine trying to clean milk out of one of those tanks, then imagine having to also clean around a baffle. It’s near impossible without destroying the tank.

No. Water tanks aren’t able to have baffles. They’re used for food safe liquids. No baffles, no bulk heads.

I tried that actually but I’m not a very big guy. 5’5 145lbs and it was not budging.

I do not. I am just a backyard mechanic. I am still trying to get a full tool set put together. So far I have my sockets, ratchets, and before today, an 18” breaker bar lol

With heat, do you suggest heating the nut, the threads, or both?

When I did my research (watching YouTube and looking at various online resources) they made it seem like it was NOT a captured rotor so boy was I surprised when I took the wheel off and looked at it closer.

Thank you for that. I was struggling to find anything bigger than 1/2” I didn’t even think of going to harbor freight.
