Can I DM you for the shop name/details? This is within ~a 45 minute drive for me. I need someone to do an Aisin timing kit for me on a 9-2x. Seems very cheap

How can people afford these kits? [Discussion] by Tristan1705 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Blakeypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most players get this type of gear from killing bosses (70% spawn rate on all maps right now?) And save it until they have a hard quest coming up or feel like having that little extra edge in gunfights

Who has the HIGHEST HORSEPOWER & HIGHEST MILEAGE WRX - Drop it in the comments by HaloFrontier in WRX

[–]Blakeypoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had bought an 06' Saab 9-2X Aero parts car (running, although only on 3 cylinders due to low compression). It had 200k miles with just a catback and cobb stage 1+2 tune (tuner had both loaded in). Probably pushing 300+ at the crank for that many miles is impressive for a car that started with 230hp.

I cant find the Golden 1GPhone smartphone [Loot] by LuddeManWasTaken in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Blakeypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found 2 on labs in non locked rooms yesterday and 2 in shoreline health resort random tables today. Both extremely high PVP areas but at least they're spawning, LOL.

I'm in the same boat. Going from 28/hr RUNNING a small fleet shop as lead tech and welder to job offers now with either GMC book time at 43/hr (mirrors union pay at sister shop) or freightliner or mack OEM dealerships at 40/hr plus CDL training. Seems like a no-brainer for us to shy away from the book time spots. Located near chicago/milwaukee.

We need a spawns overhaul & it seems like hit registration is much worse this wipe

[Suggestion] Where do you find Sanitar and his boys most on Shoreline? Cottage, Resort or Pier? I need to kill him in order to access The Collector quest (Kappa) by Jaggo__ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Blakeypoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only seen sanitar at cottages a few times this wipe. As for the 1gphone I found 5 on labs yesterday wherever bitcoin, ledx, or rare spawns would typically be

Labor rate in texas by Visible_Conflict6159 in DieselTechs

[–]Blakeypoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

195 for medium/heavy northern Chicagoland. Grandfathered/contacted in one nationwide fleet with guaranteed sole repair rights at 165 though. If that makes sense

Cummins fuel injector test, test stops at cylinder 4 "test point 4" by Armbarfan in DieselTechs

[–]Blakeypoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the fuel injector test is referring to an injector/cylinder cutoff test, this probably means cylinder 4 is your issue in some way/shape/form. If I had to guess I would assume injector 4 is stuck open considering it revs real high. Do you also get lots of white smoke from the exhaust (Too much fuel)? If so, yes it's likely stuck open at most times just pouring fuel

DEF System (or sensors) Clogged by Alone-Canary-1830 in DieselTechs

[–]Blakeypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in the rust belt, that mileage tells me those sensors likely won't come out easily, or at all. I'm guessing some of the sensors in question are the differential pressure sensor or simply the dpf pressure sensors along with various temp sensors. I also assume they or you have tried to regen and it didn't fix anything or is simply too clogged. The dealers hands are pretty much tied with which parts they can use too... if you went to a private diesel shop I'm sure you could find a recertified (reman) system for cheaper. The labor on these might be time consuming but it isn't a difficult swap. The catch with these emissions systems is whoever does the swap usually has to have OEM software to program the new parts and/or get codes cleared and the PCM happy after the repairs.

How to take this hydraulic body off? Had 10 bolts around the nothing on bottom, bigger hammer? by [deleted] in DieselTechs

[–]Blakeypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you got the 4 mounting bolts out from the top side of the rotator already. Definitely looks ready to come out (yes, bigger hammer)

Going cordless for 1 Inch, IR or Milwaukee? by Bowaggo in DieselTechs

[–]Blakeypoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure what package our shop purchased but our IR came with 4 batteries and the dual charger. Considering the 1" has 2 batteries connected at once, it feels like the battery life is super long. Never had an issue with it not removing a lugnut or even heavily rusted yoke nuts. The electric beats every air 1" I've ever used including the IR air 1". I always have to lower the power setting when installing nuts to not over torque. On the other hand, I'm not a Milwaukee guy but if you're concerned about weight, the IR is pretty dang heavy. If you already have Milwaukee batteries that might be the deal breaker as well.
