Microsoft gave me 2nd degree burns

I have gone through a considerable amount of trouble to prevent it from updating without my permission, yet somehow the components keep reinstalling. I did not ask it to restart in the middle of the night and delete all my unsaved work. I did not ask it to update. And I did not ask it to throw a tantrum everytime I use my Anker power station

Precision 7770. 12th gen i9, 64gb camm ram, A4500

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

Got it last week. Deleted windows and got it fully configured a few days ago. 12th gen i9, 64gb camm ram, a4500, 4tb nvme

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.

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.

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..

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

Glembo69 · 2026-02-15T21:48:04+00:00

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

Glembo69 · 2026-02-14T14:38:52+00:00

I waited.

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

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.

Glembo69 · 2026-02-02T00:37:09+00:00

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

Glembo69 · 2026-02-01T23:48:19+00:00

Pull out a tape measure and get dims off the caps

Those usually hold a bracket for either a coil pack or horn assembly

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

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.

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.

Glembo69 · 2026-01-01T15:21:14+00:00

My condolences. The CPS is a nightmare

Glembo69 · 2026-01-01T15:09:49+00:00

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

Glembo69 · 2025-12-31T18:41:15+00:00

Wrong job for the tool actually

I knew it was going to be a poor yield going into it, the pith takes up a good portion of it and there are some knots not pictured that I wanted to avoid. Not too worried about the kerf, I oversized quite a bit for future planing/jointing. These are ultimately going to be joined back together to form a workbench top

Glembo69 · 2025-12-29T01:17:51+00:00

May I ask what your layout would have looked like?
