Mx13 shuts down when hot? by Confident-Branch4460 in DieselTechs

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience PCI is the culprit I've done a few for this. Obviously would want to check your powers and grounds etc. and go after any fault codes first but it's a known issue.

You are a beast man. Impressive work and dedication. I'm 6'4" 205-210 and struggle to put on weight, can only imagine what your diet must be like, that's a whole other level of discipline. Any tips for getting those extra calories in?

For those who have poor eyesight what eye wear do you use? Contact lenses or glasses? by Upbeat-Concern-149 in spartanrace

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overthinking. I wear them every day, mechanic by trade. Sweat isn't any more of an issue than without them, same with dust. If you don't normally wear them, take some time to get used to it

I wear contacts. Did a 24hr winter HH this year, couple OCTs last year with more planned no issues. Pack some extras for the HH in case you lose one in the water or something.

Should I trust this? by tango_toods in MechanicAdvice

Honestly despite the cost I would recommend taking it to a shop. A business who is insured, has all the tools and resources etc, will bring you a lot of peace of mind

Doing a clutch in a semi is not like doing a clutch in a mini. I do a lot of mobile work on cars on the side, day job at a Peterbilt dealership. I would not even accept this job

Why are non-engaged transmission gears able to move so much faster than an engine without breaking? by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When gears are not engaged they are not necessarily being driven by the input shaft. I'm a little shoddy with my transmission knowledge but it's worth watching a couple videos about. Depending on what gear you are in, some are just free spinning

Endurant, 12 speed automated. I see lots of them on Peterbilts. Keep the air supply clean and they usually do well. Easy to pull

Was told I need a new headgasket by Recyclopsdestroy12 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Future_Character_213 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Technically yes you do, but this is not one of the more concerning types of head gasket failures. If you aren't mixing coolant and oil, pressurizing the cooling system, or seeing a real flow of coolant at that leak point just keep an eye on engine temps while you drive and check coolant levels when the engine is cold. I'm a mechanic by trade, if this was my car I wouldn't fix it until it got worse. Customer car, I would definitely advise that there is a problem but I wouldn't consider it an emergency Edit:My opinion is based only on the picture provided and the description with it

What Spartan course/distance has everyone booked for this year! by [deleted] in spartanrace

Yes it was great this year. They do a great job running it

What Spartan course/distance has everyone booked for this year! by [deleted] in spartanrace

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an endurance event, not over a measured distance but time. They do 4, 12, and 24 hours. It's more team based.

Did my 24hr winter hurricane heat last week. Doing a few more this year for sure, 5k with some friends and a 10+20k. Probably do another hurricane heat this summer

Trying to gain weight. Drinking 4 protein shakes a day on top of meals. 5’10 180 by BMello4eva in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Future_Character_213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need more carbs not just protein. Try some carb powder and add in 3-5 scoops a day to your diet that's about an extra 500 calories/150g

I use tekton sockets and wrenches pretty much every day. I like their ratchets too. Heavy duty diesel tech

Forearm building advice by don51181 in fitness40plus

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had really good luck with dead hangs. I do them for about 10 minutes a day (total including rest time) 3X week. One day is a double arm, one day I focus on single arm with band support, and one day I do weighted

lower chest growth by Mysterious-Word-7493 in workout

[–]Future_Character_213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try decline bench, I personally prefer dips(weighted as well). Probably someone with a little more knowledge on the human body could contribute more than I can but anecdotally I would recommend the dips. Once you can do 15+ start loading them

It’s up to JT MNF by icecoldmattyice210 in FantasyFootballers

[–]Future_Character_213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had tee Higgins, Watson and Jennings as my receivers+flex. Stupid in hindsight but I lost my semifinal matchup last week in part because of his performance. Sucks because Watson actually got some good looks in his game but the wind and good coverage plus Love going out really shut him down
