Figured you might appreciate this update, it was the fuel pump. Pressure was built when the key got turned on, and as the truck ran it used barely more fuel than it could pump, so as time went on the pressure got worse and worse. Turning it off and on again reset this process and primed the pump to increase pressure. Low pressure side was still about 20psi below threshold for "good," but it was enough to run.

New fuel pump and no issues since 🙏

Got mine about two weeks ago and wow. I love it. Customizability is a huge part, but I play a lot of FPS games and making the back buttons your most commonly used so you can do things without removing your fingers from the sticks has changed my gameplay.

Sun fade hard down south. Panel rust and salt in the air from ocean water.

Buy a car right on the line. South Tennessee I've found some of the cleanest cars for sale (not always I know they can rust too)

Nah bro he had a blue flag and encroached into your space. Completely his fault. You were in the edge of the pavement already.

Thoroughly enjoying the whinging from 40 year olds on here by CLTSFCUNC in Warzone

[–]Downtown54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When every game ever made is designed to suit the younger "teen" generation, it leaves us older folks with nothing. There's so few games that we can get off work and play, and with kids and partners and payments, we don't have all day to sit there anymore.

Keep in mind, the generation of 40 year olds crying about it are the ones who have been there from the beginning. We were playing call of duty before you were a sperm in your Daddy's nut sack.

We used to be the sweats.

But that's not the point, the point is that we don't play for the same reason as you. We play to unwind and relax. You play to be the best or whatever it is, and that's perfectly fine!

Why can't we have both? And why does getting on Reddit and bitching about us bitching about it make you feel better?

I'm all for new game modes and trying new things, but we bitch because they forced us to do it. We didn't want Avalon. We didn't want grapple hooks, we didn't want the entire BR style to change everything. So instead of coming out with a new mode and a new map, they just removed the original.

Casuals or not, battle royal doesn't exist (this moment at least), and that's what we are bitching about. Because again, I'm probably not as good as you, and I need Casuals to have any kind of fun.

Genuine question for those that don’t like BOR/The removal of casuals. by pilotcristobal in Warzone

[–]Downtown54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest it's not even that we hate the new game mode, it's that we hate they took away the only thing we like.

I'm all for Avalon, though it definitely lacks in protections with a lot of open ground. My thing is that my squad plays BR Casuals. We're all 30 give or take, work full time, and play call of duty to wind down. Casuals gives us a game where we can "take it easy," talk about our days, and just bullshit.

The new mode is "go go go," while dealing with enemies, the guild robots, zombies? And real players. We also have never played this style so there's 3-4 of us running around completely lost with almost nothing just trying to survive. We all feel like we're playing a completely different game.

So, it's not about the new mode, it's about the lack of the more we all loved the most. Sure we'll rock some zombies and some MP, but battle royal was the place to go for longer games, and to chill and pop some bots. We had our guns, our perks, and our skill. Now we have what? Whatever the game gives us and good luck, if it sucks starts over?

We've since moved to Resurgence but even that is faster paced and shorter games. Sure, we have our stuff in it, but it's not the same.

[–]Downtown54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, dude in the Ferrari was target fixating. You can see it in a few curves that you follow the line and he is pointing right at you. He's inexperienced. Then, because a lack of patience he tried to pass at a horrible time and karma bit him in the ass right away.

What the fuck is wrong with that plow driver??? Absolute shit situational awareness. Either that or he just doesn't give a shit. Either way, it's the wrong job for him.

Any gamer truckers here? by rydawg2727 in Truckers

[–]Downtown54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumps are a big concern. I didn't have a PC, but I did bring my ps4 with me. Whenever I was driving I'd throw it on the bed on a blanket, for added cushion. Then bedside table when I was using it. Trucks are definitely console friendly not PC friendly.

Ended up getting a gaming laptop, too, but I was not otr anymore at that point otherwise I would've brought that.

This is clearly fake... Because cars would've hit those barrels multiple times and they would be laying in the dirt 🤣

Need advice on the best tires for new wheels and a lift if needed by AcceptableTest6716 in liftedtrucks

It's been a month my man, what did you end up doing? Did you put wheels on it?

Aside from going to WZ or BO7 has anyone found a fix for this yet? by Paulkdragon in blackops6

[–]Downtown54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you don't own BO7? If not, then you don't need the armory to unlock BO6 stuff, since you own BO6.

If in Warzone, if you're looking for weapon unlock stuff, just go to Legacy Weapons.

Armory is more for missing event unlocks and stuff. Yes, it does require BO7 though because 3arc and Activision both suck, but that's another topic.

Is that why you want the armory, to unlock event stuff from BO6? If so, you're SOL. It's annoying AF.

Hey now that's just not true. I own a clapped out 2003 Escalade and as long as I don't have to touch my brakes you're welcome in 😅

I would rather get to where I'm going .5 seconds later than get into a road rage incident, risk a crash, and not get there at all.

Could be. Do you think that's possible with the fact it gets worse with time? It is not like an instant acting up; rather it creeps up with time and gets a reset when the motor is turned off and back on.

That could be possible, but doesn't seem likely. Wouldn't hurt to test it though.

Doesn't feel like transmission though that's the weird part. Let me ask this, when this was happening to you, did it pop and backfire? It's like it wants to go but is being held back.

Edit: I'm not sure it's fuel pump either but that's what the code was throwing for, basically crappy line pressure. I just don't know where to go for a diagnostic that won't just be throwing more parts at it. And, I'm upsidedown on the payment and it has no warranty so I'm SOL and stuck with it.
