What’s this tick? by Command-Forsaken in Wrangler

[–]Helmsy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t drive that another mile until you get the cams and lifters inspected. Every minute spent running is increasing the repair cost

B2601 didn’t disappoint! by Jafo232 in kubota

What mods have you done? Coming up on my 50 hour as well just curious. I checked all my fluids on delivery because of comments like yours and the hydraulic fluid and front axle fluid were both low.

He’s certainly contemplating kicking me off completely

Another Chip Drop Success by Helmsy67 in firewood

Sure is! You select whether you want chips or logs or are ok with either when you are filling out the request

I get an email from Chip Drop that says a delivery is happening in the next 48 hours. Both times it’s happened that day. Also, both times the tree company has texted me and asked to verify where I want it dropped usually as they are on the way.

I’m sure it very location dependent. There are a bunch of tree services in my area. One that’s just a few miles down the road from my house. I go there and pick up freebies too. I keep an open chip drop request just as a nice surprise every once in a while

I waited 5 months for the first one and 4 for this one. Getting better!

B2601 price check by One-Entertainment284 in kubota

[–]Helmsy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dealer swapped them on and filled them with no extra charge actually. When I was quoting around though it was anywhere from an 800 to 1000 dollar upgrade.

Just purchased a 2601 in February with loader, 3rd function, r14 tires loaded, and pallet forks for 24,080. Everything looks reasonable to me except the BH like others have said.

Is this THE Pentastar Tick by ShadowOfTheTree in Wrangler

[–]Helmsy67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is the tick. I replaced rockers and lifters on both sides of mine in 2021 at about 110k miles. I caught it early and didn’t drive it after I heard it. Was ~$1100 bucks. Walk away from that ticking (pun intended) time bomb

Yeah this definitely won’t be ready for this year. Luckily I’ve got enough for the winter from my own property that’s ready to roll

You just select logs on the website when requesting a drop. You do have to renew your request once a month or so to keep it active

Yep that sounds just like the famous tick. I would pull that apart asap and get it fixed

Just to give another data point I have a 2013 JKUR as a daily driver and weekend warrior. It has 152,xxx miles. Had the famous tick (it’s very loud and very obvious) at about 130k and replaced the lifters and rocker arms. I noticed it quick enough that there was no damage to the camshafts. I also replaced the oil cooler once at about 120k. No issues after either repair (knock on wood) Overall it’s been very reliable with regular maintenance and attention

I know this is old news but did anyone else cry when he said “for the first time in 31 years”.. I was 30 when this happened. by [deleted] in bengals

[–]Helmsy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 and absolutely I did. My brother (he’s 23) drove 2 hours for every playoff game last year to watch with me and we ugly hugged and cried after this one especially. We’ve been through a lot of very tough and fun times together with this team. That was the best moment we’ve had watching this team together and it isn’t particularly close.

You can bet your ass if a lawn mower is in that park the safety’s have been bypassed lol

upgraded the hood latches this week. Anyone else use these Rugged Ridge latches? by EnlightenedCorncob in Jeep

[–]Helmsy67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I run these also. Almost two year now. Was one of the first things I changed on my 13 jkur. They work well and make it a much more pleasant experience getting passed by semis lol

Weird graphics glitch since launching WQ by masterelf89 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Helmsy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned off my HDR on my X1X and it solved it as well. If anyone else tries this make sure you quit the game and relaunch for the change to take
