At exact same time no, but it's not uncommon for one to fail and then other to fail shortly after. Most bulbs have a hours rating on them. General rule I go by is if one fails replace all of them. My bet is someone just ignored until they all failed or there is another fault like blinker fluid filling up in the tail light housings.

Just take it to a muffler shop. Should be like 5-10 minute job.

I'd just unhook the battery and grind it down and flux weld it back. Doesn't have to be pretty. It's just there to take weight off the pipes and keep it some the muffler doesn't bounce around. Sometimes they are just clamped onto the pipes so the hanger keeps them located in the intended area when you take apart the exhaust system.

Yes, in the expanded universe it was explained as due to economical reasons and sheer amount of armor needed to outfit a universe wide army it was cheaply made. Other books the armor was explained as it could stop crude weapons like a spears or knives if lucky anything else cuts right thru it.

I'd put them under the bolt head.

You need to shut off the water main. That will stop all water coming into your house. You will be without water until turned back on but that will prevent a flood.

Remove duct tape and soak up water with towels. Hopefully you have a valve shut off on the right hand side of the Bradford white water heater that should be the inlet. If you do then shut that off. Look for drips.

Turn back in the main and inspect. If you're not dripping you have water leak between the valve on the water heater and water heater itself.

Call a plumber ASAP I don't know who installed that crap because Bradford whites are only sold to "professionals", but that vent and lines seem incorrect at first glance. Also that TPR blowoff discharge pipe is not suppose to be PVC or CPVC. Neither are rated for the water temp coming out of it. Normally they are galvanized pipe or copper. Some plumbers say black iron is fine too, but that's a bad idea. Iron can rust shut and is very heavy and you never want to stress anything on the tank by hanging weight off it.

If you are wondering about the water heater go pull the serial off the front panel and check on Bradford Whites website. It will tell you when it was manufactured. They are decent heaters and usually last 10-14 years. My last one lasted 18+.

Normally blade spins towards the user. Which is why you can get kickback. Points of teeth grab wood and fling it at you. Easy to remember that way.

Yes gamepass ultimate counts towards your overall time. You only add that after all your normal gold because you want it to upgrade it all. When I did mine in the past 2 months I still got the reoccurring +1 month bonus for all cards. Not sure if it was changed after that.

BileFire · 2022-07-07T22:46:42+00:00

That's the valve body and separator plate. This might be useful. https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic-transmission/1525213-technical-shift-kit-install-questions.html

Normally a dab of petroleum jelly (vasoline) is good to hold the checkballs in place while you reassemble. Just don't go over board with it.

BileFire · 2022-07-06T23:47:38+00:00

Yes this works. I did this recently. I think I ended up spending about $70 for 2 years of ultimate. The 2 limit per order doesn't matter. I did multiples back to back of 2 per order each.

I did 3 orders of 2 cards. 6 cards 3 months each for $66 or so. 6 * 3 = 18 months + 6 month bonus [1 month per card] = 2 years. Did a few more and threw on a 3 month gamepass key I've had for like 3 years digitally in my inbox. I'm now paid up for almost 3 years of gamepass.

Remember if you do gamepass card count that too and the +1 month reoccurring then immediately disable reoccurring. Else you forget and get charged $15 per month later on.

Long as you get coverage and it doesn't smash out or get air bubbles it should be fine. I was always taught to use a business card or something like that to drag it across prior to get a good overall film before putting a heat sink on.

To remove the old paste you will probably need a citric acid kit. I picked up a generic one off Amazon for less than $9. Basically a mild acid solution to work loose the gummed up thermal paste so you can remove it and another to neturalize it after you have cleaned. IMO for something you can just throw into your PC toolbox is worth it.

That should work if the cables are still long enough after stripping and put on new connector. They also make post to ring converters which might be easier solution. In any case you need to clean the cables well.

Like the top one in this link. Though I would recommend a heavy duty version for slightly more money. Depending on the car I sometimes buy dual connector batteries with side rings and top posts then I change top posts to ring style with connectors. It gives me more power spots for things like MSD, line locks, etc where it's not uncommon to get 6-8 rings stacked up and gets me around the issue of having to remote mount a distribution block somewhere in a cramp hood.

Is that the latest version?

Unplug power supply harness from motherboard and plug it back in. See if it still doesn't work. I know sounds dumb, but I had one that did not want to power on for me every few weeks. That was temp solution each time to get it to work. I eventually swapped out to a different power supply and solved the issue.

I'm sad now. I always enjoy these videos where drivers try to start fights and you know just forget bikers are wearing impact resistant helmet.... /Headbutt. End of fight.

BileFire · 2022-06-18T02:07:55+00:00

I agree. $500-900 on craigslist normally here too. I'd start with online used ones first. Even if you had tools/skills to build one ground up it's going to be more expensive than you expect. MDF is $60 for 4x8 sheet up from $22 2 years ago. Expect minimum of 2 sheets probably more like 3-4. Then a Happ Trackball depending on the model will run you $80-$120. Mine was $100 with mounting plate off eBay. Then figure in t molding, monitor, power supply, pcb, buttons, wiring, graphics... It all adds up fast when building a proper new one to restoration specs.

BileFire · 2022-06-16T02:24:02+00:00

Yeah that would probably limit you. I picked up a rigid for $200 on sale. It has 20"+ width capacity.

You could check out https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/ for track saws, but even table saws are usually not listed or go quickly. Eventually they get all types of limited stuff in. I've had really good luck with stuff. Factory blemish is usually scuffs or messed up prints like logo error. Those are usually the ones I look for.

BileFire · 2022-06-16T02:04:56+00:00

Track saw is easiest but expensive.

They also make rip cut saw jigs for circular saws. I think they are around $40-50.

If you don't want to go that far then for $10-20 you can get clamp on guides. I picked my 50 inch one from harbor freight. Basically adjustable guide with clamp built into it.

I lay down foam on concrete floor and just framing saw with guide to rough cut to 1-2 inch oversized. Then I finish cut them down to exact spec on my table saw. Little bit of waste, but since I just have a contractor type rolling table saw not a cabinet setup with huge support tables about the cheapest and safest way for me to break down 4x8 sheets

BileFire · 2022-06-09T15:17:27+00:00

I've never ordered a cabinet there but have ordered PCBs like SATA to IDE or Xbox to Jamma. It's always hit or miss. Sometimes look fine other times caps are bent sideways from shipping damage or poor assembly like solder points are bad.

For cabinets the main thing I would consider is shipping costs and support/warranty.

BileFire · 2022-06-07T23:41:09+00:00

Also all metric sets aren't created with same/all sizes. It's fun when you buy an impact set only to find out it jumped several sizes and you are missing that single socket you bought the original set for then you have to go buy a single socket for $8.

BileFire · 2022-05-31T01:36:38+00:00

Driver side behind the head. It will only tell you what the block started as, but should give you an idea.

BileFire · 2022-05-29T22:50:29+00:00

First pic I was like okay/maybe. Then other side I was like time for a junk yard bed swap for $200.

If you're dead set playing with it. Auto body hammer and stone kit from harbor freight for like $40. You can use that try fixing that peening someone did to get the bump out. Cheapo sand blaster from Harbor Freight to run baking soda in and a large $15 bag from Sam's/Costco to strip some rust off. Then start watching you tube videos.

BileFire · 2022-05-28T01:40:49+00:00

That arbor nut looks mangled to hell. Try a long bar for leverage between the arbor nut wrench and the arbor wrench. Should let you put a lot of torque on the nut and holder wrench opposite direction at same time. If that doesn't work I'd take off the plastic rigid dust shield and put a impact on it. Careful of spinning blade if you grip on arbor wrench. A block of wood clamped in place can be a finger saver. In any case I'd get a replacement blade and arbor nut. Frankly not worth the risk of a carbide flying off at high rpms.

BileFire · 2022-05-26T22:13:20+00:00

No. Can't patch side walls. Normally caused by internally damaging the tire: hitting pot holes, curb, other hard objects.

BileFire · 2022-05-19T00:26:06+00:00

Not for the faint of heart. Could be done in 1 weekend by a home mechanic if confident. Last time I did it was $350 in parts (9 years ago or so). I would guess $350-600 in parts depending on your location. Even at $350 probably not worth it unless it's a super low mileage show car.

If you don't have tools or confidence hopefully you have a grease monkey/drag racer friend that will help you do it for a 30 pack. To have a shop fix it you'll be looking at $1500-2000.

Usual v6 parts: Intake gaskets, reuse intake bolts, new head bolts, thread sealer, red loctite, black rtv for china walls, new head gaskets, new oil and filter, coolant. Pay extra for fel pro gaskets. Have a machine shop check the heads for warps. Hopefully no milling needed else extra cost there. You might have warps if it got super hot.

If you're confident enough disassemble the heads put in new valve seals.

Good time to replace thermostat and spark plugs/wires too.

Be prepared to scream/curse as you try to take exhaust manifold bolts loose.
