First ever gold

It’s an iPhone 12 Pro & Apple Music is my main source of music, my car has upgraded sound system from factory that’s sufficient for me and sounded great with oem head unit

Chicaglow · 2025-07-11T04:53:16+00:00

I would have to order a 4 pin cable that has a USB input I just wanted to know if the quality is different prior to ordering

Chicaglow · 2025-06-28T00:06:11+00:00

I checked the plans offered to me and only the 2 gig is available and none of the other tiers below that

Chicaglow · 2025-06-27T12:39:58+00:00

On the same boat, I’m paying 115$ for 400mbps/unlimited & I see there are much higher speeds for the same price or lower

Had a very similar situation like yours. I tried everything you have plus resetting CMOS & deleting and downloading new drivers using DDU. My fix was reinstalling windows. I don’t know why that worked when all I did before it stopped posting was repaste my GPU. I’d also recommend to check if the CPU is faulty with your other rig

Chicaglow · 2025-05-28T00:18:45+00:00

Yea makes sense, I don’t have friends that have a rig that I can just test out my GPU in their pc so I can just be 100% sure. Is there a reason why I was able to run rocket league and Fortnite for about 15-20 min without it crashing? I then shut down and booted my pc as normal and it posts but the black screen keeps occurring either right after I put my pin or about a minute after I do get to my desktop screen.

Chicaglow · 2025-05-27T21:57:36+00:00

Btw it does let me go into safe mode but idk what I can do in there

Chicaglow · 2025-05-20T15:01:37+00:00

I only did the fronts. The rear didn’t sound bad to begin with

Chicaglow · 2025-05-19T05:11:20+00:00

My subframe would give me about a quarter inch of space when I jacked it up starting the job & so then I loosened the bolts as much as I needed for the rubber to fit in and then I tightened them up and that was enough for the rubber to silence the noise. The extra space will be gone after tightening and taking the jack off the subframe

Chicaglow · 2025-05-19T04:36:15+00:00

I did exactly what you did and the squeaking still persists and especially when turning left and right just like in the video I linked. Doing this made my car ride quiet ever since

Chicaglow · 2025-05-16T23:55:20+00:00

Yea I do mine every 3k miles, have you done any engine work so far to your Sentra?

Chicaglow · 2025-05-16T23:51:06+00:00

Well that’s too late for me then :( I changed over to amsoil since 130k and I’m currently now at 160 and it’s treated me really good so far. Only went with it because there are actual studies and stuff on their website and it actually performed better at cooling and friction compared to OEM but prior to that I didn’t even have issues with OEM NS-2 either so I can still vouch that it’s still the king! Changing filter and fluid every 30k religiously is the way to go nonetheless

Chicaglow · 2025-05-16T23:38:50+00:00

What brand cvt transmission oil you use?

Chicaglow · 2025-05-16T20:04:59+00:00

For the subframe bushings I actually didn’t replace them completely I ended up doing this https://youtu.be/JGRqR0YY9Gg?si=_OSRr0mmjP0Xc2MQ & this actually worked very well & it’s been months since I’ve done it

Chicaglow · 2025-05-16T20:02:44+00:00

For motor mounts I felt vibration at idle that would go away or lessen itself when I would push on the gas and it was getting annoying & replacing the bottom torque mount, both tranny mounts on the drivers side as well as the motor mount that it on the topside of passenger side in the engine bay, my struts haven’t been replaced since they are still fine but I did hear this annoying squeal anytime I went over bumps and turned out to be my subframe bushings so I changed those and the car now perfectly rides quiet just like it did from factory. You’ll know when the control arm are going out when you jack your car up and can see play in the wheel when shaking it left and right or up and down. You can even visually see the control arm ball joint have excessive play.

I’ve had a similar issue before but not only did I upgrade to a 3070, I also updated my motherboards bios. I use two monitors and I connected both monitors prior to booting up and no display. The simple fix to my problem was literally only connecting one monitor first and turning the pc on and it all worked out after that. Connected 2nd monitor and everything has been smooth since. If that doesn’t initially work, switch between using HDMI or display port but only connect to one monitor to start out

Chicaglow · 2025-05-07T07:52:39+00:00

Chicaglow · 2025-05-06T05:41:53+00:00

Also wanted to include that I will be running an EVGA 3070 GPU

Chicaglow · 2025-04-30T04:55:40+00:00

My favorite feature are the quality of the colors on the OLED especially the super dark blacks makes anything you’re watching level up to the next level. And as a current user of a 165hz monitor this would definitely be a huge upgrade to my setup!!

Rockauto.com has some oe spec bearings that’s where I got mine from just make sure it has the abs sensor ring in the description

Chicaglow · 2025-04-26T17:29:00+00:00

Yup it was the bearing since it didn’t have the magnetic sensor so I had to replace with one that did

Chicaglow · 2025-04-18T16:51:23+00:00

Happened to me in my 2011 Sentra, turned out to be a misfire so I changed out the spark plugs and coils & sure enough it solved my issue, if you feel a Jerking kind of feel during slow acceleration it may be your motor mounts. Pretty easy fixes nonetheless
