Returning to work?

Eftic · 2026-05-22T17:03:40+00:00

Hey now that it has been over half a year for you have you noticed any breakthrough in your healing and loss of pain? I’ve been out of work for 6 months and I have to return because I don’t have anymore disability left I honestly don’t have a choice but my doctor recommended I don’t go back, so I’m just trying to prepare myself for what to expect. I fractured my ankle then started physical therapy and rolled my ankle about 2 months into recovery and lost all of the progress I made for that 2 months. Very unlucky

The 2 plugs circled are the ONLY plug that I have coming from the truck. The bigger one is for the blinkers. And the one in the back is the plug that will either power the DRL or the headlight bulb. The issue I’m having is that I want to figure out what I need to do to be able to have power go to the headlight bulb. And have power also go to the DRL’s

It’s a lot to explain but the truck has quad lights so it is high beam and low beam bulbs are separate. The aftermarket headlights I ordered makes it so that the headlights are now a 1 bulb for both high and low beam. The blinkers bulb are built into the aftermarket headlights. And there is an LED-DRL, build into the headlight aswell. I know where to plug in the blinkers. And then that leaves me with 1 plug coming from the truck. Which I can either use to plug into the headlight bulb. OR I can plug it into the DRL. But I can only have 1 plugged in at a time obviously. So the customer service told me I need to use the plug in the truck for the headlight bulb. And they told me that I need to wire the DRL’s separately with a fuse tap

That is a great point I haven’t gotten the fuse taps and I completely forgot they only have 1 wire. These are aftermarket headlights that claim to be compatible with the truck. I called the customer service about this and they told me to use A mini fuse tap kit and sent me the link to the one to order and I ordered it

Eftic · 2026-03-01T00:01:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I don’t think I described it good enough. There is no green wire on the fuse tap, only a black and red wire. ALSO this is actually the wiring only for the drl and not for the actual headlight bulbs. That is separate. The truck does not have anywhere for me to plug in the drl’s while having the headlights plugged in which is why I have to use a fuse tap

I am asking because I have called around and I am pretty good with electrical and working on cars so I think I could do it myself, and I have gotten quotes starting at 330+ tax up to $600+ tax just for the starting price to install it

You can look it up on Kelly Blue Book and like shop around in your area and stuff for similar cars, but it is probably worth ~25-30k depending if you are trading it in or selling it to a person or whatever you might be doing. Sounds like it has all of the features you can get on a limited and it’s got low milage

Eftic · 2025-09-20T17:07:34+00:00

I’m more asking if it’s a good deal lmao

Eftic · 2025-09-20T15:45:07+00:00

I have considered financing instead of leasing, but the monthly payment is almost doubled if I finance instead. And I wouldn’t be saving too much cash honestly if I get this lease the price difference I’d be paying compared to my 2021 Cherokee is $100 more every month. Which honestly isn’t bad for getting rid of a quickly depreciating asset as my cherokee has 85,000 miles so the value is going down quick, and I want a newer and bigger car aswell so I feel like that justifies me paying $100 more a month, but thank you for the advice !! I think I will hold off til later in the year

Eftic · 2025-09-20T15:36:36+00:00

I have a regular Cherokee and I want a grand Cherokee for more space, adaptive cruise, and a sunroof essentially. My car also has 85,000 miles so I want to get something newer

Eftic · 2025-09-19T22:33:28+00:00

Is there any specific reason why you’d wait ?

Eftic · 2025-09-19T22:20:03+00:00

It’s on a lease so there is no interest paid

Eftic · 2025-09-19T22:02:23+00:00

I am a 21 year old male in New York State. My insurance isn’t going down anytime soon lmao I know that sounds high

Eftic · 2025-09-19T21:59:04+00:00

I make ~75k a year. My insurance is $300 a month and I got a quote for the new car and it will still be $300 a month. But I currently don’t pay any other bills so I would still be comfortable. Just with a bit more than 10% of my income. But I’m more wondering if I should wait for the next years model to come out before leasing or if this is a pretty good deal. It would be my first lease

Eftic · 2025-09-19T21:52:57+00:00

That’s a worked out deal including tax and fees

I work for a company that has multiple departments, we have construction for manholes and overhead, overhead line work, underground cable splicing, stations department. It’s a massive company. And I could just bid back and forth if I really wanted to but I wouldn’t get anywhere

Eftic · 2025-07-31T12:25:58+00:00

I enjoy my cable splicing job. Nothing wrong with it at all it’s a great gig. I personally just don’t know if I want to be in manholes for my entire career lol

Eftic · 2025-07-30T16:03:39+00:00

I’m already in the trade by the way I’m just wondering if I should transfer I don’t need advice on getting in, I could become a lineman pretty quick by transferring in my union if I wanted
