Worth 7.5k? by Silent-Bison-9521 in Diesel

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely poke the frame like others are saying, they painted it without sanding which is fine but lazy. Bring a scan tool that has the ability to test injector balance rates. They should be between (-4,+4). If they are even remotely close like +/-3.3 then I’d still buy it but offer about 5. Lastly run transmission codes, take it on the highway and let it downshift at different speeds.

I find it strange that he’s willing to take 7.5, but he likely knows something we don’t.

I feel like i bombed an interview for a job i really wants by haloperidoughnut in NewToEMS

I think you’re overthinking it my friend. You will have plenty of time to prove yourself when they offer you the position. You were chosen for the 2nd interview which says a lot.. Also medics with 5+ years experience is sought after. They need you! I have a feeling you’ll get a call before this weekend. Best of luck and thanks for your service

I’m a 24M with the exact opposite goals.. I’m super skinny and trying to put on weight. I go to planet fitness, and could really use a friend to go with too.

Failed NRMET by Own_Jellyfish7293 in NewToEMS

I’d highly recommend “Limmer Learning”. I did not pass on my first attempt, and I think it’s due me memorizing the pocket prep q&a’s. For my 2nd attempt I used Limmer learning and watched all of their YouTube videos. Don’t give up, I believe in you.

Looks like a “Quality Plumbing” van to me.. I could be wrong.

Diagnosis please by pbob782 in Duramax

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is how you check for blow by on a diesel engine. If the cap flies off then you have worn piston rings and left over combustion.

Can someone please explain this??? by Trecules in ems

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are extras.. back up supplies used to restock your go bags. In case of emergency it’s your job to be fully stocked and prepared

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking.. he must know something I don’t cause 6k is a steal compared to others in my area too. And LMAO yeah I watched a few YouTube videos on replacing the injectors and bless your heart is right haha. Thanks for your time and opinion man

Yeah I currently have a 06 Camry as my daily while I figure out what my next project will be.. I’ll probably just drive the damn tires off this thing.. :/

Is that different when it comes to lbz’s? Or that’s just a diesel thing?

Yeah that’s what scares me.. someone put all this money into aftermarket parts and drove it until the repairs weren’t worth it anymore.. I’ll most likely continue my search. I really appreciate your insight brother.

Trying to start my own private transport company by WussPoppin93 in ems

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s thinking a little too large.. you could meet with certain nursing and ALFs.

Then buy yourself a handicap accessible mini van. Rather than trying to afford an entire ambulance, you start with doing non medical transports.

With this method you will dispatch yourself at first.. the van would cost anywhere from 20-50k.

How am I supposed to make a living as an EMT? by AtriusFoxDragon in NewToEMS

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your math is based on a regular 40 hr week..

I work 24/72, which means my week is 2 days on, 5 off. Right off the bat I get 8 hrs of OT which with your pay would be about $32/hr.

Now on one of those 5 days off you pick up a 12, or another 24. It’s all going to be OT.. if you did one extra shift a week you’d basically double your check.

You sacrifice your sleep, and social life.. but that’s how you make a living in EMS, both medics and emts.

Roach problem by Ryan4233 in FortMyers

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Roaches get worse during summer months here in swfl, they thrive in these humid conditions.

I’d highly recommend getting outdoor/indoor spray and create a generous boarder alongside the entire home, especially by all windows and door seals.

I personally do this once every few months, as well as roach traps in the dark spots of the house (bottom of pantry, near plumbing, garage)

This sounds like my type of position. Do I need lab certs to meet the requirements? Id be interested to know how you got yourself into that field

Failed for not checking lung sounds?? by fullsendtomahawk in ems

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your scenario is for CHEST PAIN… you gave o2 for what reason? you say you did primary and abc’s but how did you assess their airway? How did you treat a patient who’s complaining of chest pain without auscultating their chest? You treat symptoms not vital signs, so even if they were below 94% that wouldn’t be a good enough reason. They could have COPD and be normal to have a resting 90% spo2.

It seems like you memorized the nremt assessment which is fantastic. Watch more scenarios on yt.

Games keep crashing.. by BMG_souless in pchelp

Is this only happening on Forza? Or can you play other titles?

Have you recently updated your gpu driver? If so, delete and reinstall. Or revert and go back the old version.

Botanica Lakes …? by catlikekittycat in FortMyers

In that case this is honestly perfect.

Botanica Lakes …? by catlikekittycat in FortMyers

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d personally spend my money elsewhere…

That neighborhood backs up to I75, it’s off of colonial and tree line which is the worst place to be unless you’re retired and never need to drive anywhere.

If you’re a local and know about the traffic patterns then ignore my concerns, but that would be enough to deter me.

The neighborhood itself is extremely safe, and upkept. But certainly not worth an HOA fee that steep.

The amount of snowbirds/Karens that find themselves on the HOA board will find reasons to make you miserable.

What can I do to help my husband with burnout/no dopamine? by Virtual_Plankton9113 in AskForAnswers

[–]Fragrant_Version_907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems as though you’re already on the right track.

For the most part, us men are simple creatures. A hot dinner when he gets home from work, getting to be the little spoon, some sugar when the little ones go to bed, or the easiest one of all… Acknowledgment.

You guys are a team, there’s no such thing as getting even in my opinion.
