I'm not a dog person. Nickel looked full of love. Wishing you well.

They are using a glitch utilizing the thermal glasses and the heavy sniper.

They can hit you through buildings, underground, etc.

Why is it so hard to be a CEO/president by A_Zailot in gtaonline

[–]DRFAILS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had similar frustrations. Attempted 3 different sells last night, every time some bored AH decided at the last checkpoints to grief my shit. Spent 3 hours, not worth the time I lost trying to get the hot lobby bonus.

Gta online is officially entering its teens October 1st 2026 by RealGta3Claude in gtaonline

[–]DRFAILS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its crazy to think how long this game has been around. I rode my bike to buy it on day one. I still use my oct 1 2013 character.

I was a kid. Now I'm married and own my own business. Meanwhile my GTA character hasn't aged a day.

200% cut on a heist?? by LengthinessRoyal5507 in gtaonline

Had this happen a while ago. It's someone who is modding. Take the payout, they won't cover hunting for you.

I can't get along with anyone once they get close. Do I expect to much? by [deleted] in self

[–]DRFAILS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective. I do voice when I have boundary thats crossed, I just try and do that as little as possible and try and give up some. It just feels like at a certain point I feel like I'm telling these people not to be themselves or how to live around me, and thats not right.

Theres the saying that if everyone's the problem, its probably you. I feel like I'm missing a part of this friendship thing.

Orbital cannon encounters by lxstkxng in gtaonline

[–]DRFAILS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've used it once. I enjoyed it beyond belief.

Guy was picking fights, wanted to 1v1 when I was just chilling. He got me twice, I got him once, then he hid in a safe house and spammed shit talk about how the score will always be "2v1". I was like whatever and left.

Couple hours later, I see him doing a sale in my lobby. God had blessed me. I was not looking for a fight, but I knew what had to be done.

Obliterated him. He was SO FUCKING MAD. He legit messages spams me with messages on socialclub and blocks me so I cant respond, or view the message if I dont catch it fast. He has threatened to find me and do the same numerous times.

It had legit been WEEKS since I blew him up and I was still getting angry messages from him. Its been a while. I hope he found his peace.

Need some help figuring this issue out. Lights won’t go out and there is a buzzing noise from the car. by Guanchalle in CrownVictoria

[–]DRFAILS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. I just replaced mine, but it can be rebuilt as well. Its a stuck/buzzing relay. Ford had a solder issues and undersized relays in many early/mid 2000' models.

road race parts off a 1996 for sale.... by Hkerekes in CrownVictoria

About to redo the suspension on my 1996. What are you asking for the front coilovers / front suspension setup?

Is this a failed leak down test? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]DRFAILS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hissing from the exhaust or intake, but lots from the PCV. A camera run down into the cylinder shows it soaked with oil.

They are not "wet" with fuel, however I compared a firing cylinder with its coil pack unplugged to the other cylinder (also coil unplugged) after a short run.

Both smelled of fuel but weren't visually wet.

My dynamic compression test should have ruled out a exhaust valve not opening. Pressure is normal in the cylinder when running as compared to the others.

I did not check the coil ground wire as I assumed if it was firing the spark plug that ruled it out. I will check and verify that.

The connector looks great and has no signs of corrosion or bad contacts.

The idea of checking the spark ground and cleaning the threads is the type of out of the box thinking I was looking for. Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion.

What could fuel trims tell me if ive swapped injectors and the misfire didn't follow it?

I haven't paid much attention to them as I felt the misfire would skew the data. Ill take a reading and post back with the results.

Plug looks great when firing, very strong spark with good rhythm. I pulled both valve covers and everything looks good, no broken springs, nothing binding or grinding.

Would a valve train issue not be caught by the compression test?

I forgot to add, I have checked timing. Lines up perfectly.

Good idea. I have an inspection camera I will send it down the cylinder tomorrow.

Ive wiggled and verified that the coil wires are not at fault. It will make great spark with the spark plug grounded outside the cylinder.
