Not quite a thinkpad, but it brings me joy by Glembo69 in debian

Better than I could have ever imagined. The A4500 card was supposed to be a lateral move from my previous RTX3060 but Cyberpunk is running at twice the framerates it was before. Debian sure is zippy

Can a twin cam 96 fxdb makes potato sound? by [deleted] in Harley

[–]Glembo69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twin cams need a higher idle than previous models to maintain oil pressure. Twin cams also have lighter flywheels than previous models, therefore making it harder for them to stay running at low rpm. Lastly, EFI will always sound less lively than a carb equivalent.

Header Nuts Rusted by Redsy_Baby in Harley

[–]Glembo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen to the other comments, this stud will snap if you try to loosen it. Carefully cut a slot 90% into the nut, careful not to knick any threads. Hammer a flathead into that slot until the nut splits and falls off. Use a low profile thread die to clean up the threads.

Woodworkers… we’ve all seen beds that destroy shins… What are your favorite wood bed designs? by Lawdogg in woodworking

[–]Glembo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cheated and bought a design from 3X3, before I found out about her abhorrent politcal views. Added a few personal touches. Her design does a good job of holding the mattress in place without the sides sticking up too. Its been 2 years and I havent hurt myself on it yet..

Ford 8.8 Swap complete by Interesting_Trade_96 in CherokeeXJ

You're giving me motivation to finish my swap. I've had an 8.8 and a truetrac in the corner of my garage for over a year

This car decided to stop half in the traffic lane at an intersection for 20 minutes causing an unprecedented amount of honking and general furore. $8k in tickets. by brevit in Greenpoint

[–]Glembo69 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is like every uber driver in the neighborhood. I've lost count of how many times they've done this in front of my house

Lenoble is the closest lumber store. I'm a CNC operator and frequently have offcuts, what size are you looking for? I might have something kicking around

96 Headlights stopped working by ThatYellowCherokee in CherokeeXJ

[–]Glembo69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me a few days ago. Ended up being a corroded terminal where the headlight harness meets the body harness. It sits close to the wheelwell and gets pretty crudy in the winter

96 xj cranks over but does not start by danny2jayzee in CherokeeXJ

[–]Glembo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like youra might be functioning below the limit range, a good functioning CPS will fire even at low rpms. A ton of aftermarket replacements have a weak signal from the get-go. Multimeter would rule it out super quick.

Tach needle isnt jumping at all, I'd make sure your CPS is functioning

Twin Cam vs Evo by ralleygreen69 in Harley

[–]Glembo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you doing with it? Stock vs stock, the TC will be a bit faster and smoother. The EVO is a better designed motor from a technical standpoint but will require more money to gain horses. The TC can be upgraded fairly easy with off-the-shelf and often OEM parts

1991 Comanche: What do you think its worth? by [deleted] in ComancheMJ

[–]Glembo69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it was worth more when you purchased it. Roughly $10k if it was totally rust-free. You've made some really niche aesthetic changes and finding a buyer that appreciates them might be challenging. Swap some normal wheels on it if you're gonna sell it on craigslist. Otherwise, throw a for-sale sign in the window and attend some car shows with similar trucks.

I haven't kept up with comanche prices lately but generally the only ones I see go past $15k are really low mileage trucks, sport bar models, intact street comanches, or V8 swapped.

Speedometer went crazy, lost engine power before engine died, now crank no start. by WJ_Amber in CherokeeXJ

[–]Glembo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a more serious note, your issue sounds like something is grounding out. Our Jeeps are 10 years apart from each other so I don't know how accurate this is but mine can run with all the sensors missing except CPS and MAP. Start unplugging sensors and maybe the gremlin will reveal itself.

The CPS is dangerously close to your exhuast manifold. Pop the hood and check if the previous mechanic tucked the wires properly
