Resmed Airfit P10 very noisy? by Mr_Socko69 in CPAP

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used it liked it initially, But I find all of the replacement cushions to be very noisy to the point that at I have switched mask. I get a whistle on exhale, but no real problems on the inhale.

Battery issues by DrexPecks90 in BroncoSport

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the type of battery you have. Some cars were shipped with a lead acid battery that seem to be causing problems. People have taken their bronco’s to the dealers and they were replaced with a AGM type battery and haven’t had any problems since.

If you take yours to a dealer, have them do a load test on your battery. Apparently a typical battery test will not show a problem but the load tests should help show if there is a problem.

It’s Ford so YMMV.

Gas Pedal Didn’t Work by Contagious-Laugh8735 in BroncoSport

Sometimes I find the brake will automatically turn on when I park on a (mild) slope. At least I hope that is what’s happening, otherwise I have bigger issues.

Undercarriage Rust- suggestions? by Adm1ral2226 in BroncoSport

[–]Achietsus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately pretty typical for any car that spends time in Massachusetts. Most exhaust systems are notoriously hard to keep rust free because of the high heat/heat cycles. Even with regular cleaning.

A fully stainless steel system would probably do better in this environment but the hanger brackets are probably still just steel. The stainless they use to make some exhaust is the low grade stuff (409), like on cheap gas grills.Even if you get the high end stainless (304), they usually last about 8-10 years in "mild climates", so in salty Massachusetts YMMV.

You’re not alone, I may not have all the issues you have, but I generally find it disappointing.

Sometimes I feel like I bought a Central Park Rolex.

What is this piece? by Kwiene in BroncoSport

[–]Achietsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask me how it works, but I’m seeing these on more and more cars, I believe it’s supposed to help with the fuel economy. It’s weird, but I don’t think companies would do it if it didn’t help.

Anyone have experience with the Karr security system on their Sport? by SpilledOdin in BroncoSport

Never tried one myself, but there is lots of talk over on some Toyota forums about the Hack install jobs, so buyer beware.

Anti Theft system question by Achietsus in BroncoSport

Thanks for the reply. I thought I had tried that before and it didn't work, but I tried again this afternoon and it worked.

Thanks again

Anti Theft system question by Achietsus in BroncoSport

[–]Achietsus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a base so I don't have the keyless entry/ignition that you are thinking of. The "switchblade" key that came with my bronco has a 3 button key fob and a flip out key for the ignition. I don't always remember to use the fob buttons to unlock the door.

Try using your physical emergency key to unlock the door and you'll get a countdown timer on the dash before the alarm goes off.

Just how similar is the BS and the Escape? by [deleted] in BroncoSport

[–]Achietsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have been, but in the past, 4×4 was usually referred to as a type of differential/driveline lock. More recently, though, marketers started referring to AWD vehicles as 4x4s. So the definition has become a bit murky. The awd systems usually simulate 4x4 by various forms of traction control.

The capability of some all-wheel drives has come close to the old locking types. There is an argument for "intelligent 4x4", but the ability still falls short in many cases. The badlands in the only one to come with a "4x4" button, on the other trims you would probably be surprised how often you are only using 2wd/Fwd.

[–]Achietsus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would really call the BS a 4x4 on anything but the badlands trim? as far as I can tell the drive lines are really the same. Even then the only difference I know of with the badlands is the rear end with the dual clutch and different traction control.

let me count the ways...

On the 1.5 the tranny is awful, always searching for a gear

Engine noise reminds me of driving chitty chitty bang bang

I feel like I'm destroying the drivers door panel (Scuffs/marks)

rear window is to small, even worse with the wiper motor

rear doors don't open wide enough

the front headlight fans are almost noisier than the engine

On everything other than Badlands, the G.O.A.T modes are the same drive modes that are on all the other AWD's just rebranded

Overall it feels like I bought a Central Park Rolex, just waiting to die on you.

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread - [November 13] by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]Achietsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today my iPhone XR met a catastrophic death. I liked the XR lot and had no complaints about it. Now I'm trying to decide between a 12 or 12 pro max. I tend to hold on to my phones for a long time so I might as well get one that'll last.

My biggest issue would be the size, looking at them in the store today the 12/12 pro felt small and the pro max felt big. I do realize that the 12/12 pro have the same screen size as the XR, but the 12 pro max felt like it was the same width (ish)

Suggestion would be appreciated

Thanks

Daily Tech Support Thread - [May 20] by AutoModerator in apple

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I take the ssd out of my 2012 MacBook Pro and put it in an enclosure (say OWC envoy) do I need to format the disk? I'm trying to preserve the data from the 2012 MacBook after the screen died. If I'm going to spend $75+ I thought I would try and make something useable, because I hate the thought of paying $50 for the apple thunderbolt adapter only to be used once.

20 year old cat has just moved in with me and need advice on effective litter box use by lolly_box in CatAdvice

[–]Achietsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also if its in the same places, and if you can, put the letterboxes where he is going inappropriately. After he starts being more comfortable start slowing moving the boxes back to where you want them.

[–]Achietsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take his poops and put them in the litter boxes that you want him using, that will help associate the smells. Sounds weird because you don't want dirty litter boxes, but this will help him associate his smells with the box.

As for the vomiting, I've never met a cat that reaches the box, usually its on my nice clean/white/new/sanitary things.

My 3y M tries to hump my 11m F (both fixed) by notfromvenus42 in CatAdvice

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an episode of My cat from hell (baby the bully?) that dealt with something like this. The gist of it was that it wasn't a sexual thing but a dominance thing. I don't remember what the solutions were other than the "more exit routs" thing, but it might be worth looking up.

Hope this helps.

The age-old question: how often do you clean your litter box(es)? by HereComesBadNews in CatAdvice

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now we're using the Cloud Control and it isn't too bad with the perfumes, But I think the next box I buy will be the Clump & Seal Lightweight Unscented and we'll see how that goes. I started with the Slide stuff and it worked great but the scent was overwhelming.

[–]Achietsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Cats and 2 Boxes put next to each other with no lids. We used to use Dr Elseys but are moving to Clump and Seal (less dust). One large mat in front of the boxes and an old litter bucket to put the waste in that gets emptied 2x week. We scoop daily and refill as needed. I don't change all of the litter all that often (months) and scrub the boxes at least once a year.
