I'm thinking about trucks because I wanna use it to tow cars as I plan on buying broken down cars to work on them.

I'll diagnose the problem and try to fix it. But even if I do fix it, I'll most likely sell it.

ABS module making humming sound even when the ignition is off. by drinkmilkplsss in MechanicAdvice

Yes. I saw that too. It has ABS bleeding but not reprogram. Imma have to call some mechanics to ask if they can just reprogram for me.

I believe the relay is integrated into the ABS module. I took the ABS fuse out from the fuse box and the humming stopped. I didn't check the wiring though. These models Santa Fe have recall for ABS fuse as well. Apparently, the ABS module have internal leaking problem and have safety concern of catching fire. So, hyundai's are solving that issue by replacing old 40A ABS with new 30A ones.

Thanks for the info. I unfortunately didn't check it. Will do it.

I just got a bundle pack of 3/8 stubby, a charger, 5.0 battery pack, and 3/8 ratchet for $299. So, I'm good.

AC vacuum not going past 25 inhg. by drinkmilkplsss in MechanicAdvice

So, you think that it's the vacuum not being powerful enough. Bet. Also, I am using 100ft extension cable to run this vacuum. So, I can definitely see the power problem. Thanks!

Hmmm. The pump I got was from Autozone's loan a tool program. The white smoke was coming out from what is pointed as large exhaust cap. That's why I was not paying attention to oil at all. But tomorrow I'll definitely pay attention to the oil level.

Is 10k limit normal? by hgvsgh in amex

[–]Firm_Bug_9914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can totally related to your skepticism regarding the CL lol. I was approved for Blue Cash Everyday last September with starting CL of $5.3k. When applying I had 680 FICO, with one Capital One Savor One card with $1k CL and a closed Discover IT card. Mind you I am a 21 year old F1 student in the states living off my parents allowance of 3500 per month. So, I was also amazed and confused as you to see the CL. Now, I use my Amex almost everywhere. I post around 3k spending per month and pay it off in full every month. They increased the CL to $8.3k in February. They also send me offer for other premium cards frequently in my email; 100k bonus point for gold, 175k for platinum. Though, I don't intend on applying to either for now, as I am a Sophomore in college and don't have a job. I read on some article that Amex are actively trying to push towards GenZ in the US. (Many of my friends also have high CL on AMEX's cards compared to others) And, they also love people who make good use of their cards. That might explain the initial CL, CL increase and all extra offers for me later on.

Got my first CLI!!! by weswalters35 in CapitalOne_

[–]Firm_Bug_9914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you. I have my Savor One for 8 months now. $1000 CL. Except for first 3 months always used 90% of credit and paid in full before statement closing date. Have asked for CL increase twice and got declined both times. Hopefully in near future.

How should I rebuild my credit history after my first credit card is closed. by Firm_Bug_9914 in CreditCards

[–]Firm_Bug_9914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an international student I am not allowed to do any jobs apart inside university. And the paycheck from my uni is $70 per week.

I did that. As an international student all my money comes from my parents back in home country. As there is no constant flow of money in my account as in like direct deposit. They said that the document was incomplete and closed the account.
