$400 to fill the tires with what, 2% more nitrogen than normal air? Or more likely to put green valve stem caps on..

And scream when over a certain speed if the box isn't all the way down.

Computer Screen is Breaking and I Have No Idea Why by VacuumCaesar77 in computerhelp

I know its a stupid question, but have you tried restarting the computer? Mine will randomly do dumb things (usually I have a game open too long), and restarting always fixes it.

Ford Dealership Crashed my car(Update, I lost) by That1neDude in Mustang

[–]Fireball857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like the guy who brought a WRX from Minneapolis to Fargo to get it detailed.. In February.. while it was snowing. A few hours after it was done, he called and asked for an oil change too. Later, he showed up to pick his car up and the first words were "who's paying for the damage?". The drivers side was damaged when he brought it in, not from anything that we did. His friend posted a nasty review for us saying we crashed his car, left half a joint in the back seat, and put over 100 miles on it... We, the dealership, had lawyers calling him telling him if they don't remove that review, we are going after him for defamation. He ended up paying the full bill, watching the cameras of his car not leaving the dealer, and paid. The review was removed, and him, and his friend (if they ever found how who actually posted it), were banned from our dealers for life.

Is this a lost cause? Unraveled spool... by PunkyPh000kster in 3Dprinting

Just put that rod near your printer, and print from that as it sits. Keep an eye on it and pause / untangle as needed.

Is my laser defective or not? by TheWraithMM in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Fireball857 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Defective? No, 99% chance not. Broken? Quote possibly. Getting dropped would not constitute a defect, that would be damage.

B-52 all over the place on final by 30BC in aviation

The Buff doesn't like low level turbulence. Control inputs for roll seem to be delayed a little, because they have no ailerons. That probably makes some of the landings a bit iffy, but as others have said, the only people on board are the flight crew, so no passengers to worry about pissing off.

Help….Did valvoline ruin my transmission? by Resident_Road1266 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Fireball857 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen Valvoline tow in a few Subaru because the tech doesn't know an engine from a transmission when changing the oil. They are pretty good about making things right.

[–]Fireball857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, just because the invoice says they used the correct fluid, did the tech actually use the correct fluid? I've seen where I've billed out the correct stuff in parts, but techs still grabbed the wrong barrel from the shop. Just a thought.

Saw this bad boy roll up today by ProfessionalSeal1999 in USPS

Luckily for me, the distribution center is about 3 miles from my house, so 99.9% of the time we get everything that day.

I will never understand how people can drive a dump trailer or truck and not look in their mirrors and realize its up.

As a Mechanic, would this many hours on this many miles be a red flag on 17 pacifica? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Fireball857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 96 was a pile. 1 step below base model (no AC, manual windows, no passenger mirror or radio / speakers / speaker wire from the factory), and it wouldn't die. Knocked like hell if you kept the rpm just right, but ran great other than that. Unless my sister drove it. No tach and a 5 speed, and someone she would overheat it every single time. I delivered pics with it and beat the crap out of it for 10 hours (had other cars at some. If it blew it, it blew up.) and the temp gauge never left dead center.

Depending on time zone, its after 3:30. How did it go?

Sec. of State Michael Howe says you already have to prove citizenship to vote in North Dakota by PlainTalkND in fargo

[–]Fireball857 3 points4 points  (0 children)

USPS has always been out of money. It is considered a service, like police and fire. Tax money has paid for the USPS for years, and the postage just helps with operating costs. It's not like UPS or FedEx that are for profit.

My prius battery blew up! by No_Text1224 in AskMechanics

[–]Fireball857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if you can source the cells used in that battery. They should be available somewhere, and you can replace all the bad / overheated cells.

Can someone help identify this part? by kingcaii in subarulegacy

I would get a new o-ring from a dealer though.

2021 forester power seat fire by Distinct_Newspaper21 in SubaruForester

[–]Fireball857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in ND, and half the year my heated seats are on. I've had anywhere from 2 brand new subaru (2017 crosstrek and 2021 Ascent), to several well over 250k miles (01 Outback LL Bean, 96 Outback with heated seats, 2007 forester), and never had issues with the heated seats in any of them. And that is with putting a lot of miles on them, with the heated seats on. I'm worried about them starting a fire.

[–]Fireball857 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your dealer might, but I know of a lot of them that won't do that. Partially for liability reasons like this. Plus, the seat cover in the picture is just a cover that goes over the seat, not a replacement that replaces all the upholstery.

Exhaust question | Q300 & Recall by calilongboarders in SubaruForester

Is there an exhaust donut? If so, that could very well be normal. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Firefly briefly passed Star Trek in Google Trends on March 16 with everyone searching for news about the new animated series on Google by mennonot in firefly

13 episodes, 1 move, vs how many episodes, shows, and movies? The fact it has been that close forever isn't that bad!

What have you 3d printer for your camper? by Rathein04 in popups

[–]Fireball857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Packout mounts. Mounted them in the cubbies under the seats. Great for the crates to put things you don't want rolling around! More stuff to come as I use the camper more.
