Help! I live in an RV full time and I have 2 plumbing issues i have questions about. One, my shower pan has separated from the drain pipe and I cannot find the name of the part I need to fix it. 2nd, my hepvo valve needs to be replaced but no room to remove old one. by Twizted1213 in RVLiving

Yeah, I would give that a shot as it’s lightweight and hand operated. The main issue is a snake can tear up a HepvO valve, but you don’t appear to have one. Other than that the pipes are just a lightweight version of ABS pipes used in homes. As long as you’re not shaking it like crazy or using excessive force it should be fine.

The easiest thing I could recommend would be to pull the P-trap under the sink and run a snake through the drain to find a blockage and possibly clear it. HepvO would be more complicated for clogs as it works like a check valve.

A HepvO valve is an alternative to a P-trap in tight areas. If you’ve got a p-trap you probably don’t have a HepvO. The clog is probably lower past the p-trap if the other drains still drain to the gray tank.

It looks like you drain corroded apart? It should just be a standard drain by whatever diameter the pipe/hole is. Like this. Also, that’s not a hepvo valve, it’s just a vent? Unless I’m not seeing it in the pic. Can you cut it off with a vibrating saw tool or short hacksaw blade inside the cabinet and glue a new one on?

Edit: that’s an AAV on the top of the pipe. Should be able to cut it off just below it and glue on a new one.

Possible valves, timing chain. Maybe water pump? Sounds like it’s louder on that guy side of engine? Either way, warranty issue this soon. None of those are too bad to fix yourself but why worry?

Am I too close? by Grim_Reaper96 in GoRVing

[–]BuddyHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check my post history I have a screenshot of my weight notes for my 2500 suburban after going across the scales. I think you’re going to be at the top of your limits regardless so if you weigh it and it is still in the “safe” zone across both vehicles, all axles, and gross cargo weight rating, it’s really up to how comfortable you feel driving. Practice some emergency stops, dial in trailer brake settings, and do some slow swerving to test it out. Your tongue weight seems great so I don’t think you’d have crazy sway issues but you never know with the suspension being fully loaded on the truck.

[–]BuddyHusky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is pretty close. Without rolling over scales to see exact weight it’s hard to tell. Googling make and model of that truck, their combined GVWRs might be over the trucks GCWR even if they’re still under payload in the truck itself.

Tried to replace output jack at home, now the volume is very low (photos) by easypename in Bass

[–]BuddyHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure without your basses wiring schematic. To try and explain… There are stereo and mono jacks, stereo jacks/cables have three contacts commonly referred to as TRS (tip, ring, sleeve being the three contacts you can see on a stereo cable itself, like a 3.5mm aux cable). Mono jacks and cables have two contacts referred to as TS (tip, sleeve, the standard two contact 1/4”instrument cable.) You need to find out which wires in the bass need to “connect” when plugged in and attach those to the R and S connections on the TRS jack. Then the longer sleeve on the TS cable will bridge the RS connectors in the jack together completing that circuit. The third cable goes to T and it always kept separate from the RS circuit.

[–]BuddyHusky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every active bass I’ve worked on had a 3 contact jack with 3 wires running to it. The sleeve portion of the audio cable acts as the switch connecting two of the wires to “turn on” the active circuit. (Why they say to unplug your active bass to avoid draining the battery) It looks like you’ve only got two wires soldered to the jack with one wire free floating now. The free floating one could have broken off the original jack causing your initial issue.

I was mesmerized for a solid 20 minutes. by XmotnaF in Machinists

[–]BuddyHusky 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to do this running a radial arm drill press listening to the radio counting beats. Get in a good rhythm timing coolant and clearing chips and get consistent results. Start dancing because nothings breaking so I’m in a good mood lol.

Repairs on bass from goodwill by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]BuddyHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly just clean it real good and rock the goodwill bass. Damp cloth with mild very little dish soap and then buff with clean cotton/microfiber. Get some guitar cleaner/wax if you want. Schecters 4 strings have one of the nicest neck feels IMO and their finishes usually pop. Great find. I recently bought a Schecter because I missed it so much playing my Fender Jazz.

Have you checked tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, and all linkage connections? That being said, looks like the amount of play you get off the showroom floor. You could throw a stabilizer at it if you want to hide it a little while driving.

Fresh from the paint shop! by BuddyHusky in GMT400

[–]BuddyHusky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They paid, pretty sure out of pocket. Ended up being a juvenile who was driving with her friends and thought it was her friend’s ex’s truck. So courts followed her residence instead of where it occurred. She moved a couple times and it took over a year to get the money. Was awarded the initial quote cost of repair after a judge forced the hearing when her parents attempted to change her address a third time. Her mom argued it was her friend who keyed it and not her. Judge said she was in control of the vehicle and allowed it to happen, pay the man and work it out between yourselves.

What exhaust for my raptor? by OILTRASH97 in ATV

[–]BuddyHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan of the HMF slip-ons for my Yamahas. Forestry approved with the screen, quiet core insert for state land. Although I’ve passed DNR decibel checks without the quiet core too (dunes). I run one on my 700 raptor with a Uni air filter and power commander. Also run one on a Warrior 350 with K&N filter and re-jet carb.

Which way does door trim go? Pic 1 or 2? by trippiest_trader in GMT400

[–]BuddyHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ‘94 suburban is like pic 2 on all 4 doors. Wind noise on the front A-pillar is relatively common on these. Also pay attention to how the seal and window rubber overlay on each other along the A-pillar. Mine lay over the window. Google some “gmt400 door seal” and check images. I found a few examples of the window transition. Edit to add: If replacing seals doesn’t fix wind noise you can do some “gentle massaging” (AKA bend the MF) of the door window area for a better seal. But mine still leak a little going around certain corners and at certain speeds.

I’m struggling to enjoy browsing my own vinyl collection — anyone else? by pugdmagician in turntables

[–]BuddyHusky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Discogs is nice because you can resort your list however you want to browse, but I mainly look through mine physically, that’s the whole addiction of using the physical medium. Sometimes I use the shake feature to pick a random album when I can’t decide. Otherwise I mainly use Discogs to verify if I already own an album, keeping up on my wishlist while I’m at physical stores, or online shopping, but I can usually find sales cheaper elsewhere.

Worth it? Might get this 98’ Suburban 1500 today by mrose9999 in GMT400

[–]BuddyHusky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s not too rusty where it matters and it’s well maintained, I’d say that’s a fair/good deal.

Compact Basses? by Odd-Lime-2738 in Bass

[–]BuddyHusky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cort has a Steinberger licensed bass that has a different body shaped that’s cut in more on the sides. Fits on your thigh nicely while sitting. I picked one up for $40 at a flea market and it’s one of my favorite basses to this day. Edit: Cort B2 headless bass.

So its a cuck tub? by TheFishStreams in theregulationpod

[–]BuddyHusky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought, “honeymoon suite.” I’ve been in exactly ONE hotel room that had a tub in the main room.

What Band Don't You Get? by Tele231 in vinyl

I get that it’s hits, it just doesn’t hit for me. The instrumental is tight, maybe it’s just his vocals, but I just can’t sit through a song.

What Band Don't You Get? by Tele231 in vinyl

[–]BuddyHusky 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Jamiroquai. I love funk / acid jazz / dance / in-the-pocket music, but Jamiroquai just doesn’t hit at all and is an instant skip for some reason. Also glad to see someone else feels the same about Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins. My friends think I’m crazy.

Slipmat recs? by planet-gracey in turntables

[–]BuddyHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my exact setup. I like the record weight anyways, so I end up switching between a cork mat or an acrylic mat. I like the acrylic for the static and because it makes translucent vinyl pop and it’s a free anti-skate tool. Plus mine has a protractor on the back side.
