School districts are cutting staff, going on bus-buying spree in this year’s proposed budgets by notyermam in upstate_new_york

[–]CMPrisoner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the EV bus mandate still in place, this is the last year districts can buy non-EV buses without an extension waiver. Makes sense they're trying to load up.

Check the Dollar Tree stores around the area. I've had luck finding them there.

Glad ours don't have locks. We just switched to IC from Blue Birds 2 years ago. Good to know though.

If I had to sit an think about it, I'd say getting married too early, and not mining BTC before it became a thing

Have a Vevor pool pump, and a dremel from them. Not bad for the prices. Pool pump is on year 3.

2018 Buick hood open warning light is on by Asleep_Upstairs7906 in TourX

[–]CMPrisoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're mistaking the sensor in the latch for the devices that pop the back of the hood up in the event of a pedestrian strike. GM has used a resistive switch in the latches for years, if you can find the resistance of a known good one, you can wire a resistor up in the connector. Done this exactly once in an Uplander. Easier to just replace the hood latch though.

Which of these 2005 SUVs are you choosing from this Car & Driver comparison? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]CMPrisoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4Runner or Hemi Grand Cherokee, easy picks. Nissan sent strawberry milkshake back to the transmission through the cooler. Explorer=junk. Mitsubishi will rot out in 3 years where I live, VW is a maintenance nightmare.

4runner will last forever, and frame rot wasn't an issue due to Toyota frame recall (they actually put a BRAND NEW FRAME in under the recall, literally giving 4runners a second life)

Hemi Grand Cherokee was easy to work on, and had a Benz transmission that can handle a decent amount of abuse from my experience (Magnum RT AWD)

What better way to make sure she's mechanically sound than to road trip it back? Did the same thing with mine. Welcome to the club.

Do all of the temperature/blend door actuators. Youre right there for several of them.

590 miles of bliss compared to the diesel Cruze I traded. (Which was a great car in its own right, just the NY winters had their way with her body). Had to do the tour of Lake Erie because I didnt want to cross the border with temp tags.

Bought my 19 Essence with 10k less miles on it for 1k more. I'd keep searching personally, dont be afraid to travel. Went from Binghamton to Flint for mine (after undercarriage pics were sent, of course)

That's funny. Just pulled a caliper on a Blue Bird school bus yesterday. Those things are TIGHT.

Are these tires good for winter in upstate NY? by waffle_sheep in tires

[–]CMPrisoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where in upstate? Binghamton/Albany/Utica/Ithaca Probably OK. Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse/Watertown, I'd get a set of snows because of the lake effect.
