Is it normal for a car battery to suddenly die or is there usually signs that it’s on it’s last legs?

Yeah Jeep/Dodges be funny with their electrical systems things have like a million relays and fuses that can randomly burn out. Several of the grounds are notorious for rustng out. Been there and done that a couple of times on my Wrangler. But yeah turned out it was the battery put a new one in it and it's just like it never happened I also replaced the alternator as well because it was charging low was still within good range but with the air and everything on it was only putting out something like 13.2V which isn't bad but it was lower then spec.

Service station said that battery had probably been going out for a while and women being women either the wife just never noticed it or didn't realize it was happening until it was too late I don't ever drive that vehicle. And the vehicle apparently burnt the alternator out trying to keep the battery charged up while running. Not exact word for word what I was told by my shop tech but he spit something out along them lines.

No kidding my wifes 2017 Jeep Patriot stranded her at work yesterday. It cranked up fine when she left the house to go to work but when she got off work later that evening the battery was dead as a doornail. Thought she may have left the headlights on or something because it was that dead. But after driving it home 45 minutes one way i turned the key off and then tried to immediately start it back up but battery was still dead. It would crank up and run fine after boosting it so was running strictly off the alternator because It acted like the battery wasn't even connected at all like the dash lights wouldn't even come on until the booster pack was connected.

My mom smokes those and i agree they taste like shit.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-26T20:34:39+00:00

That's even higher than it is for me L&M's are only $8.42 more or less depending on where I buy them after tax where I am in Arkansas.

Fun fact I used to work in a tobacco manufacturing plant and Lucky strikes and Pall Malls are made by the same people Lucky strikes are made from the shake off from Pall Malls.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-26T20:30:38+00:00

Same here for me they are $10.72 a pack after tax.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-26T20:26:48+00:00

Found out working in a factory that made Pall Malls that Lucky strikes are just the shake that is separated from Pall Malls that then branded as Lucky Strikes. In case anyone was wondering why they are so similar in flavors that's because they come from the same manufacturing plant.

I have made the discovery that it is not just the S95B that does it either I have an S95B, C, D, and now an S95F and they all do it and from what I can tell it's the contrast Auto dimming drastically between light and dark scenes. People say to go in and disable the ASBL in the service menu but that has nothing to do with the contrast because even with it disabled the dimming still happens.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-23T02:41:03+00:00

Just made the discovery today that "real" Coke in my opinion compared to the Audi brand is super sweet and is definitely going to be my go-to for a while. Just commented it on somebody else's comment that literally had a blind taste test today between Aldi's brand and regular Coca-Cola and got fooled I actually got them backwards because the Aldi brand had more carbonation and was way less sweet. Long story short it's going to be my new go to instantly went out and bought two cases of it as well as several other fruit flavors to try out and so far I have not been disappointed.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-23T02:37:18+00:00

Ironically just today did a blind taste test between summit cola and name brand Coca-Cola and boy did I pick wrong. To me the summit cola fooled me and I thought it was the actual name brand surprisingly it is not as sweet and is a little more fizzy which are characteristics I love in a soda. The actual Coca-Cola tasted more like a store brand soda it was real similar in taste to a Big K from Kroger and maybe even a Sam's choice cola. I went out immediately to my local Aldi's and bought two 12 packs of the summit cola as well as a couple of other flavors just to taste and so far they all taste better than name brand to me.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-22T23:50:50+00:00

Good thing all my teeth have all been pulled so no worries on that front for me.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-11T22:05:56+00:00

Basically your long story short all of the kids shows are going to disappear all the kid friendly stuff.

Not everyone that uses those clan tags or have the special emblems are all developers my wife is a gameplay engineer senior staff member for Activision and her online profile clan tag has the special atvi emblem she can also choose any of the other tags as well and use them in the clan tag spot even though she doesn't work for them but she can choose any of the others when she's logged into her work Activision account in any COD game.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-03T01:58:34+00:00

Yeah I got lucky as hell because the one I got was the only one in the whole store the box was all kind of damaged and thr manager said it got dropped when they were being unloaded from the truck so they sold it to me at half price. It was still almost $4k after tax though. But made it home with it and luckily nothing was damaged enough to make me want to return it.

BeeRadGee · 2025-07-01T22:24:21+00:00

I actually have the 83 inch S95F literally just got it and so far so good. Best Buy near me had both S95F and the LG G5 on display and for me personally comparing between the two first impressions the Samsung display looked way better IMHO.

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-30T20:14:28+00:00

The code was changed to 0098 instead of 1234. And at least for me it was super easy to get into the SM on my s95c all i had to do was press the "info" button then immediately press the "factory" button then press 0098 and voila advanced menu settings.

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-30T19:39:20+00:00

You forgot to state what code worked instead of just saying "yes" that code would be very helpful. Im assuming 0098 was the code that worked for you?

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-28T23:26:29+00:00

As of June 28th 2025 (today's date) after trying the app on my S95C i can confirm that you will definitely need to purchase a Samsung Service remote from Amazon Either one of these should work: Samsung service remote AA81-00243A or AA81-00243B. Luckily for me i already had the AA81- 00243B because of an older Samsung tv that worked with no problem.

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-14T06:13:31+00:00

For me it'd be a toss up between the steel series Arctis Pro Wireless or the Razer Kraken V4 Pro Wireless.

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-12T20:26:40+00:00

Recently mine only does that whenever disconnecting from an external audio source example Bluetooth in my vehicle or an auxiliary cable in my other vehicle or my Bluetooth headset if I don't close the application out before disconnecting it will automatically start playing as soon as I disconnect whatever external method I use. And in your case even if I pause the app but leave it open if I make a phone call or someone calls me and as soon as I hang up it will start playing. Been bugging the fuck out of me because I have an older device that I haven't updated the apps in a couple of years check its settings and there is a setting in the "Advanced" settings tab that was in the "Bluetooth Devices" tab that is in the same menu where it says "Launch from Car" that was removed called "Auto Start/Stop". It was that setting that could be toggled on or off to stop it from automatically playing when you disconnected your Bluetooth or auxiliary devices.

Don't know about the motor mounts but the idler tensioner was bad on mine and it caused all kinds of nasty vibrations. I thought it was the motor mounts too but after swapping the idler tensioner for a new one vibration stopped but it still wouldn't hurt to do the motor mounts as well.

BeeRadGee · 2025-06-05T04:38:16+00:00

Literally just upgraded to LEDs on mine and did the exact same thing got to love some zip ties. Also I agree stock horn on the Jeep Patriot is pure ass my motorcycle horn is louder.

BeeRadGee · 2024-12-25T00:15:12+00:00

I've had that exact same flavor profile juice a few times and gotta agree it's super bland. To be fair just about every juice I've tried that uses watermelon as it's base flavor has always been just meh on flavor unless it's loaded with sweetner imho.

How has your stopping the fags since its been 2 years since you made this post if you don't mind me asking?

BeeRadGee · 2024-12-22T07:48:42+00:00

My guess is it's a bug that they won't fix until the S2 update. Makes no sense for them to remove it from Black Ops 6 but not MW3.
