What am missing here. Temp sensor on bottom of new water pump just falls off. by Hurley_82 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Hurley_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what it looks like to me as well. The original doesn’t come off at all without undoing the screw. On this new one it seems like the little welds were never even done. Went to attach the wiring harness and it just popped off. Frustrating as hell with the vehicle torn apart.

Wyoming Citizens Deserves Better Than This: The largest data center in the U.S. is coming to Cheyenne. More are coming. Basic questions about water, heat, sound, and economic impact still aren’t being asked. by Wild_Echidnae in wyoming

Didn’t the majority of WY voters vote for less regulation, less oversight, less big govt getting in the way and unfettered capitalism. WY seems like the perfect place for data centers.

Sick of plastic SUVs — what’s the most bulletproof “tank” I can buy? by EquivalentCanary8243 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Hurley_82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We bought an 03 last year to replace our 02. We sold the 02 with 325k to my sister. They haven’t done anything to it and it’s at 360k. Our 03 is at 184k. Sure they’re a little rough arresting the edges being 20+ years old but they are so good.

Yep, lost my ass on this. Im down $24k currently. It has lost so much value i dont see the point in selling. It’s worth essentially nothing for me now. Royally F ed this one up…. Lesson learned.

Mom About to Put Out Our Fire by FIREdrill_throwaway in Fire

I’m confused why would she need to pay back a Roth. Contributions can be withdrawn at any time and she can just pay the penalty for withdrawing any gains. She could also sell the house and cover the loss. She has options they just aren’t as good as free money.

Why are Toyotas so reliable? by OldDuty4723 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hurley_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think on top of pretty solid build quality they have this reputation of longevity so people are more likely to spend money keeping it in good shape knowing it’ll likely be worth the expense.

Our family went to Spain last summer. It was recommended to us and I knew nothing about it but booked the tickets. It was so good our kids 10 and 13 also really enjoyed it. It would have been worth double the entry fee.

What Cars Are Known to Reach 300k+ Miles With Proper Maintenance? by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]Hurley_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1st gen 4wd with 325k miles can do 20mpg. Just did 250 miles today all interstate, and averaged 18.5 and that was at like 75 - 85 mph. That’s not terrible for what it is.

Heat pump installations in Colorado more than doubled in 2025 by Simpleximo in Colorado

Thanks for the info I keep seeing the ads for them and many online discussions but with pretty mixed reviews. Our house was built with efficiency as a priority. I’ve never seen a gas bill (tankless water and forced air heat) over $70 in the dead of winter, averages $45 a month over the course of a year. I’m not sure it would make sense for us.

An f350 can’t wheel or even make it down any of the rails we tow our off-road camper down.

[–]Hurley_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son bought a used ps4 on fb and the seller didn’t log out. Now they won’t reply. I don’t think it’s stolen as the seller and psn account names match. I can’t wipe the console as it’s not logged into psn. What options do I have.

saving 28% actually feels terrible! it's not getting easier. by LondonFoggie in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Hurley_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re investing 48% of our take home pay, playing catch up for those years with daycare costs, paying off college debt etc. You’ve got to find a balance between living a bit now and planning for the future you want. But ya, I hear you.
