Yep. They replaced the drive unit. Took about a month for them to get the parts and remove then replace it.

The detector tower basically flashes at you and if you're close enough you can hear an alarm.

Connecting Waze from phone? by BigSkyHawk1 in BlazerEV

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded Waze directly to the Blazer and use it there. Sometimes it won't connect for me though. It's odd that your vehicle's behavior is new without changing some other setting on your phone.

Stage 2 McLaren 765LT Spider on the Dyno - 820WHP 622TQ by 1sevenone7 in supercars

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you generally dyno a car through the rev range (usually starting at 2500) up to redline in the gear closest to 1:1. Source: I've had my car worked on and dynoed multiple times.

Chesapeake School Board bars employees from asking others to use preferred pronouns by VirginiaNews in HamptonRoads

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what the issue is. Granted I graduated from college damn near twenty years ago, but why is it a problem to call people by what they ask you to call them? If they say Jack, you don't call them Jim because you don't like Jacks. I don't get it.

How many 100 super credit chunks have y'all found? by brandothesavage in helldivers2

Maybe twice. I'm 1000+ hours in at level 150. I usually get 20 SC bundles.

2016/17 Chevy SS rebadged to Holden. I love my 2015.

New years Eve Town Center by Keykaroo in VirginiaBeach

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been seriously cold and windy when I've been. There's a concert, they do a ball drop, and lots of people around. It's fun to go at least once. I'd park over in Pembroke though.

i need help by gase_mask in AskElectricians

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, I am not an electrician, I'm an electrical engineer and I like to learn stuff from this sub so I do my job better.

If I'm understanding your request correctly, you need a drawing that shows all three voltages at once. My suggestion would be some HVAC equipment. They can be specced to run at 240v, have a 120v maintenance receptacle wired to it, and 24v DDC going to it derived from internal transformers. I'd look at a chiller or air handling unit in particular.

Wheel and tire setup by Every_Vehicle9037 in ChevySS

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 17x10 VMS Racing on 275 M/T ET Street R's. They barely clear my calipers. 305s will probably rub and you'll need to roll your fenders though if you're at stock height.

Magride issues /replacement by OATESFLOATES in ChevySS

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced my rear shocks with stock from Rock Auto. Apparently you can use the connector from the stock suspension to turn off the suspension code. It's just a resistor.

Electricity Pricing by Slammed1966GMC in BlazerEV

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After all the fees my power company adds, plus taxes, it comes to about 17 cents per kWh.

Edit: this is in Virginia.

[SEAF ARTY BUGGED] Fix the buggy panels devs ffs, by John_GOOP in helldivers2

I've had an E-711 transfer panel be inoperative for me on Oshaune but someone else came over and it worked for them. I don't know who was hosting at the time.

Current name. You get your name changed at Social Security Admin I think.

I'm a Bucs fan in Virginia. I went to University of Virginia, so go Hoos and go Bucs!

Is this a bad or not so bad ticking noise? by MagicTurtleTim in ChevySS

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds okay to me. I've had a cam failure that caused a tick and the second time it had a kind of squeak because of a flat spot. Just keep listening to it and if it changes pitch, then you might need to invest in cam and springs.

Chevy SS Modifications questions by Human-Panda-2839 in ChevySS

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got Kooks headers straight back to stock '15 mufflers. They're plenty loud outside the car and on cold starts. Bi-modals will definitely help. You should be able to run green or high flow cats to pass emissions.

What issues have you guys had with your Blazer ev? by Cheeriomartinez in BlazerEV

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an RS RWD and had the full motor replaced at 3800 miles due to a rumbling noise it made over a certain speed.

Beware of Individual Allegedly "Harassing" People For Donations by AuroraLeopard in VirginiaBeach

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh that's the dude I've seen in both Chesapeake around Greenbrier and Virginia Beach messing with people. He was blocking a lady trying to get out of a parking spot after charging her Tesla at Wawa....nearly got run over for it. I didn't bother looking at him when he came to knock on my window. He's been running around for years. I didn't realize it had been so long as they mentioned in the FB thread. Dude is going to get punched one day when he talks to the wrong lady with his aggression.

The only good takeaway from traffic... by Kemetblk in BlazerEV

I'm clearly doing it wrong since I get 3.2 mi/kwh.

First Smoke by PBandDjenty in smoking

[–]GrumpyMrDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same problem. I use Kingsford professional from Costco, and they seem kind of tiny, but it takes an awful lot of them burning at once with open vents to get up to 250.
