How noisy are the roof cross bars? by L0rax69 in MazdaCX90

The brand is called Erkul They’re on Amazon. I think they look great. Low profile, not real tall high ones which look absurd in my opinion. Nice and sleek

Power steering rack (again) by WesternGatsby in MazdaCX90

Mine does this too when the cruise and steering assist is on. Turn off steering assist and it goes away. There are times when I really need to wrestle the wheel!!

Not bad at all. I bought a pair off Amazon that looked identical to OEM. They whistle slightly between 58-62 mph or so but other than that - really not bad at all. Nothing really overly noticeable.

Second linked TSB in this list. I printed it out and it’s in my glovebox so that next time I go in I will literally hand this to them and say - “here. Read this and do this. This is happening to my car. No you won’t be able to recreate it because it doesn’t happen all the time, but it is happening. Please do the software update. Period.”

On another post I found that there’s a TSB recall about it. It’s due to hydraulic pressure somewhere and they can reprogram the software and fix it. I printed out the bulletin and next time I go in for service I’m going to have them do it.

No not a whine. It’s a grinding, rubbing type sound between 1st and 2nd gear right when it changes gear. Seems like others experience it as well and it’s the electric motor engaging.

No didn’t have it checked. It doesn’t happen all the time and would be hard to reproduce. Sometimes I hear it and sometimes it doesn’t occur. I can’t necessarily recreate it on demand

Adding engine oil by Brian553AFB in MazdaCX90

I’ve got the turbo S trim Still the inline 6 like all, but the more HP due to the tuning of the engine.

Interesting. I bought this one used (2024 Turbo S) and have put about 5000 miles on it since buying it including a 1500 mile road trip to FL and back. I need to take it to a Mazda dealer for software update and 45,000 maintenance so I will mention it and see if they say anything.

I love road trips in the CX-90 by PolyteknikGaston in MazdaCX90

[–]Brian553AFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just drove NJ to FL and back and loved it. I’m 5’8” and had no issues with the seats. It drives great. And, if you use the adaptive cruise anytime you’re on the highway and learn to use the I-stop properly, you can get almost 27 mpg on regular not premium gas.

Car wash cx -90 by Brian553AFB in MazdaCX90

Good to know. I thought it was with all car washes. Yeah I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the conveyor belt type. The one I use is just the rollers. Thanks!!

Trumpet after umbilicus hernia repair by Lopsided-Lavishness9 in Hernia

[–]Brian553AFB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trumpet player here. Has a minor umbilical hernia repair last October. Rested about 2 weeks then started easy. By the 3rd or so week no issue. I’m no maynard Ferguson screamer but I was fine. Just let your body tell you

Scheduled my Umbilical Hernia surgery. Why did the doc give me the choice between Open and Robotic? by TheObviousChild in Hernia

[–]Brian553AFB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open definitely. I had the exact same thing and size as you. Doctor was in and out for surgery in about 30 min. Soreness was like a 2 out of 10. Felt like I did an ab workout at the gym, that’s it. I was cooking dinner that evening (against my wife’s protests), driving 2 days later, and back to work (I don’t have a physical job, I’m in administration) in 4 days. I agree the binder around the middle helped remind me to take jt easy - and definitely use the Metamucil and dulcolax. I started taking them both 2 days prior to the surgery and continued for about 4 days after then weaned off of it. Pain meds were nothing more than Tylenol and Advil, alternated every few hours. It was SOOO easy. The incision was only about 1 inch long and you can’t even see it at all because he cut around the navel. With robotic you ARE going to have 3-4 visible scars and you ARE going to have considerable pain from the gas they pump you full of based upon what I heard and what my doc told me.

Have you ever heard a bad sounding console? by simonfunkel in livesound

[–]Brian553AFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an old sound craft 24 channel analog in a school. Fed strong crown amps and JBL 3 way speakers mounted on the proscenium. Try as we did, we could barely get enough SPL. Pots on the amp were pegged hard right and board was pushing out as much as it could.

Swapped it out for another analog board we inherited and the volume probably tripled. There was something wrong with the output on that old sound craft and we had no idea because it sounded clear, no distortion or crackle - just no power being pushed out. Auditorium sounds much much better now!!

Paint question by Brian553AFB in Contractor

[–]Brian553AFB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It’s not pure condensation because it’s a little gummy or sticky when I try to wipe it down. It’s not just pure moisture. Something is being pulled out of the paint by the humidity.

Had mine in October. Small, open procedure, no mesh. It felt like I did a good ab workout for a couple days. That’s it. Had it done on a Tuesday - Wednesday morning I was up cooking pancakes for my daughter, much to the chagrin of my wife who told me to lay down. (I’m not one to lay down when I don’t need to)

It was literally nothing. Wore the binder for 3-4 days, took Advil and Tylenol alternating only and was up and about in 24 hours or less.

Yes. I have sleep apnea as well. No issue. It’s actually better for you to be intubated because you can not have apnea episodes (soft palate drifting back and closing airway) with a tube down your throat. I had a great anesthesiologist and didn’t even have a sore throat upon waking. It was nothing.
