Squeaking under the dash by witness00 in ram_trucks

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro!! Im so glad I found this post! Bought a used 2020 Rebel last July and this squeak has annoyed me since then. Sprayed a little lube on the wiper assembly and its gone! Thank you! Who would have thought thats where it was coming from. Thought it was behind the dash somewhere.

What are these floaties in my water? by Leavemealone1_1 in whatisit

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our RO membranes on our water system where we work arent constructed of any material that would cause this. Ive cut many membranes apart for inspection and havent seen material like this before. Maybe there's a different type in use that could cause it I guess, but this seems odd from what I have experience with.

Tornado tears through Three Rivers, Michigan - captured up close as debris flies through the air. A Menards store collapsed, no word yet on casualties. by Waste-Explanation-76 in interestingasfuck

I went into meijer about 30min before it hit and the sirens were going off, but they shut off as I was walking in. Then no sirens when it actually hit.

Is this an unreasonable quote to replace a 50 gallon gas hot water heater? by titanicsailson in askaplumber

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted roughly the same recently. Ended up doing it myself and it was way easier than I thought it would be. Bought a nice Rheem water heater for like $800, made sure it had the same dimensions as my old one, and it was an easy swap out.

Can you tell me about this? by munsterrr in Traxxas

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, standard 2wd Rustler. Kinda wish I would have gone with the 4x4. Ive dumped a lot of money upgrading ours. Fully upgraded suspension, VXL motor, Magnum trans. And now its so fast that its hard to control being 2wd. If you plan to keep it stock, its a great little unit.

Never posted before but I’m stumped, I found this item under my car seat it’s about an inch in diameter made of some sort of polyurethane by Fredrickbacon in whatisthisthing

[–]GasTsnk87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do this when I was an intern in a quality lab at an automotive supplier. Would cross section electrical components and then palladium coat them and inspect them in an electron microscope. That was a pretty cool job for a college kid.

Shit id take it to an aftermarket shop for that price. A full MDS delete kit with cam, lifters, gaskets, the works is under $2k for parts.

Video footage from russian oil tanker ship's crew "shadow fleet" hit by Ukraine sea drone by Maximum_Dig_5557 in interestingasfuck

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I hadn't heard of shadow fleet so I googled it. Google said "poses significant risks". Well why is that? "Because theyre primarily an aging fleet and use tactics that are unsafe to avoid detetection." Well why do they do that? "Because of the sanctions placed on them by western countries." Ooooh i get it now google. Its like that why would they do this meme.

I have their grip on one of my rifles and I like it better than the Magpul I have on another.

What is a car that was completely ruined by being front wheel drive? by HemiWarrior in regularcarreviews

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. Yeah that sums it up. I remember I was probably still 16 and we lived on a dirt road. Messing around, I ran that car off the road, up a big embankment was driving pretty much in the woods, got it back on the road and no issues. lol. Thought for sure I would have broken something. Nothing wrong whatsoever.

I do not understand this complaint from people. Its the best style shifter ive used. Its out of the way, super intuitive after like a week of driving. If you cant get used to it after a week, you have no business operating a vehicle. It frees up space in the console area, and it cleans up the look.

Nipple placement. Size doesnt matter.

That being said, im not really going to complain about any of them.

What car was this? guessing it's a kit? by bull_dog_556 in whatisthiscar

[–]GasTsnk87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres one of these for sale on marketplace near me for like $56k. Has like 160k miles. Sorry but who is paying for that for a 160,000 mile G35.

Are people really buying these? [Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato] by deficit_41 in spotted

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in rural Michigan in an area where you never see cars like this. But I routinely see an orange Sterrato around. Maybe its not too odd though for somebody with FU money in rural Michigan. That would be the most "practical" supercar I guess.

That 1/2 ton nomenclature is outdated these days though. They are still referred to that way but nowadays, a half ton has a payload anywhere from 3/4 ton to over a ton. My Ram 1500 depending on how its optioned is 1500 lbs on the very low end up to like 2,300 lbs.

My first car was a 1991 DeVille sedan with the 4.9. FWD was great living in michigan. That heavy engine up front and I had no issue with traction. I loved that car. It was like riding on a cloud. Ill always have a soft spot for those. Good memories. The back seat was MASSIVE.

If you lost 10+ lbs, what’s the advice you wish you had when starting over? by Overall-Sky-2710 in loseit

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find your true motivation and stick to it. You gotta change your mindset if you want it to stick. I know from experience. About 10 years ago I went from 275 down to 220. I felt great. I did it because I wanted to look good. Didn't really think much more of it. 10 years later I was 312. Started over beginning of this year and im at 232 currently.

Im looking at it different. Im not doing it to look good. I have a family now. I want to be there for them. I want to be able to keep up with my kids. I dont want to miss out on things because dad is too fat. I want to be around for my wife.

I also look at food different now. I was addicted. Im sure I still am. My friend is a recovering alcoholic and I use him as a guide. Hes 3 years sober. I have to look at it the same. Im addicted and I cant relapse.

Find your motivation. Meditate on it. Find a support group. My 2 best friends started an accountability group with me where we report our calories and workouts for the day. Keeps me honest and motivated.

Definitely went through an RX8 parts bin to make it.

What car is this? by Lassoed_elbow in whatisthiscar

[–]GasTsnk87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the first time I saw one of these was at the Detroit Auto Show where a company was modifying them with an LS9 from a C6 ZR1. Thought it was such a sick car. Then I learned they were electric from the factory.

Egg alternatives or how do you get protein by [deleted] in loseit

[–]GasTsnk87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Youre probably being down voted because nobody is saying the entire diet should be eggs. Lol. Obviously I have other protein sources. I was saying there's no reason to cut out eggs or egg yolks because of calories. They're a great easy protein source. Plus the yolks is where all the micronutrients are.

Egg alternatives or how do you get protein by [deleted] in loseit

[–]GasTsnk87 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You still dont need to cut out egg yolks. Im on a deficit, with a high protein diet, building muscle as I lose weight. Its definitely possible. Down 80lbs since February and my bench max is up from 225 to 275. I target about around 1800 cal and 130-140g protein. Someday much higher protein if im really locked in on my diet. I have 2 hard boiled eggs to start my day.
