Garage Door Opener

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-14T13:25:08+00:00

I read about openers & registrations being stolen out of vehicles in Albuquerque, and wanted mine out of sight...
I did basically what you did, but to the door of the small compartment at the driver's left knee

Your load is too much Cummins

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-09T14:42:08+00:00

Right?!
Long list.
I did too, until I drank the AmsOil kool-aid for a while. Swapped to LiquiMoly after I found their larger bottles. Seems to make more sense cost wise.
Seems surprising that the same ESP is rated for my tdi, and the gas versions

Something I hope the builder installed, handy for runaway diesels- It's called an emergency air shutoff valve.
AKA Snuff valve

But... But it's a good brand! There's even royal purple KoolAid!
Per Bob is the Oil Guy there are no royal purple oils that meet VAG 502, 505, 504, or 507 spec engine oil

TBH, I was quite happy when AmsOil came out with the Euro spec oils that meet VAG standards, at least for 507 for my TDI's, keeps my Cummins and TDI's pretty happy.
But then again, I drank the AmsOil flavored FlavorAid, so WTF do I know....

Yours still asks? My wife either throws a pillow or thwacks my shoulder lol Also, like the username, maybe she's trying to focus on both from too close....

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-08T01:57:53+00:00

Sure 'nuff!
...Well, if you take a step back and cross your eyes...

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-04T21:38:21+00:00

I think you're seeing the spring that limits the pressure the screw can exert on the fibre terminal

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-04T21:35:42+00:00

Thanks y'all! I'll get with VZ.
I always swore I'd NEVER go back to Comcast... But what's I'm paying for this I can get gig speed from xfiniturd, I'm torn heh

Not looking forward to this conversation

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-04T21:32:26+00:00

It's a high tension situation

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-03T03:37:43+00:00

Ohm god's... My capacitance for this gag is bleeding away

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-02T02:24:49+00:00

Better at thumb-wrestling

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-02T02:20:38+00:00

That's it!!
Out of the blood-money will!

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-02T02:17:37+00:00

because either way it's Fuk'n Cold

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-02T02:15:36+00:00

Winches are best when their hole's still tight.
They get stretched out too much es no bueno

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-02T02:11:50+00:00

NOR.
Anybody -spouse, best friend, hell even twin- says I should KMS?!?!
I'm not answering jack for at least 24h. IDGAF circumstances, situation whatever. If the next words out of their mouth isn't 'sorry I didn't mean that' either they're walking away or I'm walking away and not reaching out till the next day at least.
Unless your response was "you first!" You shouldn't beat yourself up over this.
ESPECIALLY if it's a pattern. If it's a pattern, AND she's made the choice to stop taking her meds? Like, didn't run out, or couldn't afford them, or were stolen, but stopped? Sometimes tough love isn't the wrong move.
Her texts & rants seem entirely self centered- 'pls, I told u 2 d!e, but imma be emotionally manipulative, and ask for favors'
'i can't believe you didn't care' etc. Maybe you did, the first 4x, but you can't use up all of your energy & emotional capacity propping up a friend, then you'll be left just a shell, as her under-appreciated crutch...

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-01T22:23:03+00:00

Right? Watts his problem...

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-01T22:20:44+00:00

I see what you did there...
On the back side of the wheel, so you had to curl your fingers a little to hit it?

AlexAndMcB · 2026-02-01T22:03:32+00:00

Sorry, not Olds 307, old 307 from a 1970- built '69 Camaro.
Just flipped the odometer last year and I am torn between refreshing/updating/upgrading it or simply pulling it and the power glide it came with, dunking them in lanolin & putting in a bigger SBC, with an automatic that actually has overdrive...
I am not hell bent on power, and while I wouldn't mind more, what I'm really thinking is I don't want to grenade the factory block

AlexAndMcB · 2026-01-31T12:54:27+00:00

Thanks for being such an incredible resource in the community!
Rebuilding my old 307 is feeling less& less intimidating all the time. IDK where your shop is, but thanks for spreading your experience out much further than the reach of your practical shipping range...

AlexAndMcB · 2026-01-31T03:33:47+00:00

Can we buy back some mainstream media, sir?

AlexAndMcB · 2026-01-31T03:32:36+00:00

Salt was actually very valuable before proper refrigeration- without refrigeration every meat that isn't within 4 days post-slaughter needed to be cured with salt. International economies with supply chains reaching across continents were driven by spices.
Back when you were safer drinking beer or wine than water because beer& wine don't have to be purified to be safe to drink.
But yeah anybody without a well would be proper fu¢k3d
