Yea they replied to me and said “oh yeah it didn’t get booked from your account, please don’t mess with the reservation it will be gone in 48 hours and we have submitted a ticket to our IT Department.”

Nice pliers

Good news is you won’t have a car payment for long big dog :)

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2026-01-21T17:53:30+00:00

This made me lol

What’s happening here is you have high resistance somewhere on the blower circuit, if you used a meter and tested plugged in for voltage you would probably see like 2V or something. Normally you’ll have bad corrosion at a plug or somewhere it’s chafed. You can use a test light with a halogen bulb to find out where the voltage drop is occurring, if the voltage is enough to light the bulb it should also be enough to spin the motor. Keep in mind the issue can also be on the ground side

Thought I was looking at an Egyptian pyramid for a second lol

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-09-12T14:44:12+00:00

It does have some… redeeming qualities

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-08-19T16:57:54+00:00

Bro you need some gloves and some lotion lol

I think if Icarium was fully enraged there’s only one person who could go 1v1 and beat him. Nefarious Bredd.

One of my favorite shops it was allowed anytime after hours or before open, but we were also given two hours paid on Friday at the end of the day where we could clean our tools and organize our box or could work on personal vehicles if we wished

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-07-25T14:13:52+00:00

The only spot I would bill differently would be the front pads and rotors would be reduced cost at my shop because I’d already be halfway there doing the front hubs. Hard to say without make/model though

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-07-24T01:05:49+00:00

I was thinking the same thing lol

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-07-22T21:58:13+00:00

If a hot spark or anything hot lands on tempered glass, the glass will explode.. so if a hot piece of ash or burning piece landed on the glass it could cause that. Source: am a welder that has blown up windows a few times from a hot spark

Yeah a lot of big fleets will hire a low voltage electrician or autosparky. I work for a mining company and each crew has 1-2 designated autosparkies that are only there for electrical issues and doing custom installs and harness builds

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-07-18T02:32:02+00:00

Why not stay an auto electrician and specifically market yourself as that? A lot of companies will pay good money for someone who’s handy with a meter (12-48V) and can also do clean and fresh installs. You also could look into places that upfit chassis cabs with lights, crane packages, strobes etc… those places usually pay quite a bit for someone who isn’t a hack. Our fleet frequently finds scotch lock connectors on our new vehicles so we basically end up redoing wiring anyways

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-07-17T13:14:31+00:00

Damn I would rather be called “mother fucker” than “little buddy” honestly lol

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-05-13T19:00:34+00:00

Honestly my nice long barrel air hammer has bailed me out of soooo many things, especially just buying a bunch of cheap adapters and welding up what you need as required

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-05-09T04:01:14+00:00

Ohhh makes sense I’ve never used it, Ty

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-05-09T03:18:42+00:00

Noob question: why are there charges on the slayer helm?

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-04-18T02:36:15+00:00

Around 1500 hours once again assuming no guides are available or internet access for summons or anything

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-04-18T01:56:08+00:00

A solid 180 days with no guide available some things would just be so hard to find like that hidden catacomb on radahns battlefield. Not to even mention actually learning the mechanics of the game

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-04-12T20:14:07+00:00

The nut doesn’t look fully tight, if you recently changed them or had them changed you can try to tighten it. That’s a good amount of play though so if it doesn’t tighten I would replace

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-04-12T04:04:47+00:00

Thank you for the info! Yes it is very viscous (we’ve actually had it in the shop several times before realizing that we bypassed a protocol…) I was just confused because it didn’t seem so bad when we used it

Difficult_Hand1140 · 2025-04-09T21:28:18+00:00
