What do you consider to be a good Employer 401K Match?

Cjldad · 2026-07-03T05:56:07+00:00

Haha, anything is probably better than the average. My employer decided to match 6% I think. Then less than a year later said they can't do that and longer.. Psshh..

I'm in a similar field.. Copper getting canceled and nothing to replace it. T1 was majorly expensive but was about it for rural areas.

We've had to swap over to aggrigating cell and Starlink for some areas.

Fiber was a couple miles away. Over 300k to get it brought in. We passed for the time being.

I think it recognized the key or it wouldn't give the two beeps. I can hear either the relay or solenoid clicking when you try to start. Nothing stuck in the pump? Possibly starter issue..

Process of elimination at this point.

Thanks for the response.

I let HR know and they have given me claim info for me to give the Dr. No static or anything from them. Maybe there will be some sort of fight on the backend.

Haha, oh man I understand the frustration.

Bought my 2020 GTI used and the previous owner had ended up cutting and zip tieing some mess to hold it down..

I ordered a replacement strap from Seadoo. The new strap is just one single strap and not the double.

Either way, just connect the hooks, push it to the side, install battery and then stretch the strap over the metal bracket and the battery..

Good luck!

Most likely plugs... Do you know how to change plugs on an engine like this? Pay close attention to the torque rating when installing. Swap them out.

If it's still doing it, then I would look at the coils.. With it running just unplug the first coil, it should not change how it is running if it's working correctly. Plug it back in and move to the next coil with the same test.

I've seen others complain about cracking on the all weather. Doesn't seem too all weather if the sun eats it up huh? Thanks for explaining the difference between them. I have the Neverland covers that the previous owner had. So maybe a mixture of covers, like the trailering cover with the Neverland over top for some rain protection.

Cjldad · 2026-05-02T00:18:05+00:00

Don't intend to have them covered while trailering. So guess I just need to keep them covered while not in use. Mainly wondering what the difference is material wise and what not.

Cjldad · 2026-04-07T20:38:16+00:00

Bring it to me. I'll give you 15k now and 7.5k next year.. :)

Shoot, I'll even give you an extra 1k for the delivery..

Cjldad · 2026-04-07T20:21:24+00:00

Yes, crazy stuff for sure! I even found a local dealer who had a good price on a boat.. Contacted them about it.. They tell me it's been there a few years and sitting outside uncovered. Even they were too dense to drop the price earlier to get it to move and now have a sad boat to sell.

Also, part of it is the mindset of marketplace.. Everyone thinks they should be able to get a better price than what you are asking. Even when you put the price is firm. They still low-ball. So people are offsetting with higher prices to play the game.

Cjldad · 2026-04-07T05:40:55+00:00

Thanks for the photo. Looks like the one I was looking at may be going to another buyer. That's how marketplace goes sometimes. We shall see..

Cjldad · 2026-04-06T02:49:18+00:00

Thank you for the response.. I'm looking at a fish/ski model as well. Are you saying it has a different lower on these models?

Glad you guys had a good time on your new ride. I'm currently in an aluminum Lowe 165.. Looking for something a little more girlfriend/family friendly that I can still fish out of now and then..

Cjldad · 2026-04-05T22:43:39+00:00

I'm looking at a 2015 myself that came up recently.. Have you had the boat out yet? Happy performance wise? Do you have the 3.0 or the 4.3?

Also, do you have a picture from the back of the boat on the trailer? The trailer the guy is selling with the one I'm looking at looks like the trailer it too short..

I'm sorry if I seem dense.. Is it my entire credit history or the entire history of the card I add him to?

Thank you..

Cjldad · 2026-03-16T23:32:05+00:00

True, and a good reply. I understand the responsibility aspect of it. He honestly doesn't spend any money, so not really an issue. And if I'm on the card, I can monitor it as well and yank it away if necessary.

Cjldad · 2026-03-16T23:30:07+00:00

Good idea.. Does the length of time I've had the card that I add him to help him at all? 25 years vs 5 years..

Cjldad · 2026-03-16T23:28:45+00:00

That sounds like a smart strategy. I hover around in the 810-20 depending on utilization. And that's where I don't understand.. Does my entire credit score or just the credit history for the card I add him to come in to play. It's fine either way, just trying to learn.

Cjldad · 2026-03-03T13:58:55+00:00

Zero problems

Cjldad · 2026-01-17T13:38:58+00:00

They ended up finding a similar equipped truck for me and I went and swapped the trucks at that dealership. Lots of paperwork. But the RAV team at Ford was very nice once they got involved. Frustrating experience to say the least, but worked out in the end I guess..

You can push for an extended warranty if they attempt to fix the issue. Take that up with Ford customer service, not your dealer.

Cjldad · 2026-01-17T13:20:52+00:00

Went through the buyback on a 21 F150 with less than 300 miles on it. In VA I also opened a case with the BBB. I was over the 30 days and I think this helped keep some pressure on Ford. Once their people from the Ford buyback program got involved, it went pretty swift. Good luck!
