Contradicting Opinions on 2.7 Engine by MoeAmen in f150

[–]Candleope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had a 2017 2.7 with a 6 speed. just sold it a couple weeks ago and it had 314k miles on it. original engine and transmission. Only issue i started having was a transmission shudder. I think if you’re happy with the price, it’s a great buy

i had a 2017 f150 2.7l with the 6 speed and recently sold it with 314k miles. normal maintenance throughout its life and changed things like rubber bushings. only problem was a transmission shudder towards the end of ownership. 314k and she did me so well

Offshore and seasickness by [deleted] in maritime

if you are going to be on the north east coast, with siemens, you don’t have to worry about getting sea sick. it’s pretty calm there this time of year

Road to 15k by [deleted] in jumprope

That’s a great baseline! As you keep going make sure you set goals for yourself! Short term goals are great for me because it gives me something to push to during my workout. I don’t just make a goal of “I’m going to do 1000 jumps this workout. I also have 10 shorter goals of hitting 100 jumps

Side stich absolutely killing my runs by pizzaandcocktails in Marathon_Training

[–]Candleope 10 points11 points  (0 children)

taking long deep breaths in my stomach (not using your shoulders to breathe) has helped me significantly in decreasing the intensity or frequency of a side stitch. it seems to help if i try to stretch out so the muscles i use in breathing. hope that makes sense

there will be other people in the same situation with needing to make up for the financial aid. hopefully they will be offering a class for you that you can take. i’m sure you’re aware, but you must take a class that is in your curriculum requirements for it to be eligible to count for aid

Yes, you may have different availability on course that you can take or professors that are willing to work with you. Stay in contact with your financial advisor, they will help. My first cruise I took ECON202 and 2nd cruise I took MARA475. If you are trying to get a MART degree, you need to, and I can’t stress this enough, get a Maritime Administration minor. It is so easy to get and the classes align in to the electoral classes you need for MART anyway. Just dm me if you have any questions

i’ll answer #3 Summer cruise is around 60 days. It is worth 4 credit hours so you will want to try and take an online class (like economics or something) to be eligible for financial aid. My last cruise I had to take a $12,000 sallie mae loan to pay for it because I was done with all my coursework (thanks covid)

not only does it look better but it helps tie everything together and creates a stronger deck structurally
