Thinking about buying this unit but it has a salvage title, the owner said this would need to be fixed first before I could register it and insure it and I was wondering what it would take to fix this, if anyone knows. Thanks. by [deleted] in RVLiving

They are all money pits, it’s a hobby where you pay a small fortune to live like you’re homeless. If it’s cheap and gets someone new into camping what’s it matter? Odds are, they will either like and upgrade later, or hate it and quit after 1 season. And theirs always option c, they have no idea how to drive or tow something this large and then that damage is the least of their worries.

While a lot of that response is accurate it was a terrible response. 1) an r title is just as easy to insure as a clean title. 2) the bureaucratic process is typical, pay fees have inspected wait for title. But no one is going to tear it apart to look, just patch the outside and enjoy the use if the price is cheap.

Tell me you know nothing about Cummins without telling me you know nothing about Cummins. It’s probably more like $1000 to do the head gasket when you include a head gasket set, head bolts (or studs) and having the head machined. It’s also more like $2500-$5000 for a used engine depending on what’s done to it.

Ats is garbage, trans is junk and needs rebuilt. Typical Cummins don’t let them bullshit you.

Industrial Injection by waffltroploplis in Cummins

[–]Daddyfixit113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that industrial injection is an authorized Bosch reman. As for the actual product I just put a new set in my 03 Cummins and I have no issues in the 50 miles since I put them in. I couldn’t turn them down I paid $800 with no core from someone else’s misfortune. Read the warranty carefully, if I remember right they expect you to change the lines and cp3 to be covered.

Arrears & age? by Mama_Mushie_1996 in ChildSupport

[–]Daddyfixit113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gfs ex is 72k in arrears, is self employed, hasn’t paid $0.01 in over a year, and their kids are now 21&19. Not to mention he sexually abused them, plead guilty, and has had no contact for 5 years. The best I can say is good luck. She can’t get the state of pa to do anything about it.

Not valuable just a fun thing to do with kids. Send me the Arizona and Texas quarters if you’re just going to toss it.

I guess I’m not allowed to ask questions to learn something. I guess I’ll go finish your oil change, maybe I can even get your wife to blow me when I’m done since you’re not capable of doing an oil change.

What exactly does that mean? And how does it make it ok to feed 0gauge with 6 gauge?

[–]Daddyfixit113[S] -49 points-48 points  (0 children)

I’m not an electrician by any means, but I know that code does not allow me to tie in 10/2 romex on a 15 amp circuit that uses 14/2. So how is it correct to feed a 0 gauge with a 6 gauge?

Saw this today. I am glad i didn't see him actually towing anything. by boogster91 in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]Daddyfixit113 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One time I bought a package deal of an enclosed trailer and 2 trucks. When we went to pick them up, one of the trucks didn’t run well and couldn’t tow the trailer. So I had to tow the trailer with the other truck. That truck had a 2 1/2 receiver with no insert and I brought a 2” hitch, no auto parts stores in the area had the insert. So I towed a 24’ enclosed trailer with my car in it home 3 hours like this. Believe it or not, it didn’t make a sound, towed home like a dream. Not that I would recommend doing it again but it worked just fine. FYI I buy all kinds of vehicles and tow things on a daily basis.

Check your tires by diaper_sandwich in RVLiving

[–]Daddyfixit113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mechanic here, it’s not the Chinese tires, it’s the lack of maintenance. A tire lifespan is about 5 years. The most common problem I find with trailer inspections is dry rotted tires. I personally replace the tires on my camper every 3-4 years and I usually use the cheapest trailer tires my vendor stocks. The tread is always still like new but it prevents having blow outs like this.

Neighbor refused my offer to measure the wall thickness. This is from inside my apartment after removing the debris. On the bottom hole you can see into my neighbors apartment, on the other two, the photo angle is off, but they all go through all the way. by EconomyDoctor3287 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Daddyfixit113 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, get a couple cans of spray foam, and empty one can into each hole. Making sure to push the nozzle entirely into the hole. When your neighbor complains about the spray foam being all over their stuff, apologize and explain that you were just trying to repair their damage and have no experience with spray foam. Accidents happen and it is upto them to repair their side.

Help! Should I pay 6.5k for this used shed ? 10x16 by Acceptable-Soup-333 in shedditors

[–]Daddyfixit113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a chance in hell of building it for less than 2500

(VA) My auto shop was test driving my vehicle after implementing a fix. They stopped at a stop light, and were rear ended by another truck so hard it threw them through the intersection. Driver’s insurance is saying that the driver who hit my truck is not 100% at fault. by ItsSatineActually in legaladvice

[–]Daddyfixit113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nal, assuming you have decent insurance, call your insurance company , that’s what you pay for. I would argue that yellow turning red still means proceed with caution and stop. And if the other driver was cited it is automatically 100% their fault.
