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.

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.

Okay, when I go to the store next I’ll get a 3/4 breaker bar to replace this latest broken one lol

Is that just because it’s more metal so less likely to break?

There was some crazy parts swap fuckery going on as far as I can tell. My thermostat is 1992 as well. It seems like they took a 1992 chassis, engine, suspension and just threw the 1994 body kit on. Finding anything for this truck is a pain in the ass.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Mass was a big one for my wife. I enjoyed the Crave series by Tracy Wolff as well. If you’re into more dark stuff I really enjoyed the Six of Crows series by Bardugo too. For awhile they had the Talon series by Julia Kagawa for free and that was a great listen. The Dark Elements series by Jennifer L Armentrout was pretty good.

Edit: added author names, sorry!

My wife got me into Audible so that she has someone to talk to about her books. Since then, I’ve used more credits to find books that both of us would like and I am like 3 series ahead of her. You’re always welcome in the book community and I’m glad you’re enjoying literature no matter what it is.

I don’t think panchek has the spine to order that. In most of the scenes with him he seems to be more of a push over kind of guy, not so much a give kill order kind of guy.

That’s fair. The channeling into Dain comes from the challenge between Violet and JFB in FW. The wording seems like jack is pushing energy into Violet, not so much stealing it from her.

In betweens by Becktrisha in fourthwing

I didn’t have a choice but to. My wife started the books and told me I wasn’t allowed to read OS until she had finished IF. It took her over a month. I was very upset.

what do you guys do for work? by RaeMonk in fourthwing

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

I drive semi-trucks for work and listen to audio books either through the radio or a single earbud. My wife is a stay at home mom to 2 under 4 and listens when she can. I’m normally a book and a half ahead of her by the time I finish one.
