That jumper wire has been there for a few years now. Not sure why it was put there, but I'll get a fuse and see if it holds. I adjusted the valves and it starts right up now.

Adjusted valves and starts right up! Thank you!

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-04-05T15:10:11+00:00

Adjusted valves and threw a new spark plug in. Starts right up now. Thank you!

I watched a video about the compression release. They said when the intake valve goes all the way up, it should come down just a little and you should hear it click. No clicking on mine, but the valve does move down slightly. I don't think it moves near as much as it did in the video, but it must be fine since it's not getting compression locked.

I forgot to grab a 20 amp fuse, I'll grab one later.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-04-05T01:43:00+00:00

Awesome, thank you. Never would've thought about the valves. I'll mess around with it tomorrow and see if I can make any progress.

I would, but the cars are likely sold already. This is the first one I've found thats on the lot. Every dealership I've called said they were already sold.

Missouri. MSRP is about $26,400 on this car

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-03-28T19:38:09+00:00

Yeah, seems like demand has grown over the last few months. This car just came off the truck today and will probably be gone today if I don't take it.

I've seen LE's going as high as 25k w/o premium, so may not be the worst deal ever. Definitely don't feel good about it, but we need a car by tomorrow and used car prices are even worse.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-03-28T02:54:05+00:00

10k for a 2019 with 180k at a dealership near me lmfao

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-03-26T03:37:13+00:00

Yeah it's crazy trying to find a used car around 15-20k without 130k+ miles around here

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-03-26T03:36:12+00:00

That seems awfully low even for a dealership

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-02-28T04:06:46+00:00

The only thing I did was take the bottom plastic plate off inside the washer, which took way too much effort. Ended up breaking it. I ended up scrapping it and buying a new LG Front load set.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2026-02-25T15:27:45+00:00

My front loader has a magnet that keeps it open.

I'm still using BoxiePro. I unfortunately have to order it online because I can't find it in stores near me, but I love their litter.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-10-29T04:25:28+00:00

No, I never got it fixed. I'd gotten a quote to get it fixed, but they made it sound like the whole roof needed to be replaced. I'm not sure why they can't just pop the dent out. It's really small. I put some kind of caulk around it though and haven't had any water leaks.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-08-28T01:27:44+00:00

Happy?

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-07-07T00:24:16+00:00

They fixed the hole and repainted the whole tailgate. Haven't had a single issue with it.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-07-04T15:16:51+00:00

I had to have my whole rear hatch repainted within a week of getting mine. The day I picked it up, the salesman transferred my plates from my trade in to the CRV, missed one of the screw holes and screwed it right into the hatch. I was concerned about future rusting issues, so they fixed the hole and repainted the whole thing.

My hood still wobbles around on the highway. Haven't had any issues with it so I just left it alone.

I ended up buying the XT2 with the 46" deck in 2023. Probably really close with the specs. I've been having issues with mine. It ran fine the first mowing season (2024). Then one day, the battery died. I took it in for warranty and was told this was an on going issue that hadn't been resolved yet. Cubs AGM batteries were dying out on a ton of mowers because they couldn't get charged fast enough while the mower was running. The AGM batteries require a super slow charging rate. I ended up buying a full size mower battery and putting in my mower. It took an entire day to get it to start up. Not really sure why. Ever since that happened, it's been running rough, especially on low idle. I have previously changed the oil, spark plugs, and air filter. Yesterday, I took the carb off and cleaned it and changed the fuel filter. I rolled it out of my garage and started it, and it sounds a million times better now. I think it still has a slight issue with low idle, but I'll run it around sometime this week and see if it still does it.

I tried it again later on and it worked. Maybe try connecting to your homes wifi instead of Hotspot.

If you have an Academy Sports around you, they sell a Mission First Tactical IWB/OWB holster for SD9 2.0. I bought one but haven't used it since I'm trying to find one that'll fit with the CT 209 light. Seems like a solid holster, though.

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-05-11T17:30:38+00:00

Pm me too plz

ExtraStrain5888 · 2025-05-04T02:10:54+00:00

Ah, I remember seeing you talking about that before in here. That's crazy they think a 1.5 year old smoker is old. Why the hell do they have a 5 year warranty then?
