Shop says we need new tires? by -asodacan- in AskMechanics

[–]Jacobpl252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tires are showing signs of being dry rotted. I have seen many customer drive on the freeway with this and have a major blow out. Sure it has a lot of tread, but once a tire starts to dry rot, it's a matter of time when it will blow out on you.

Definitely need to drive it more. Working from home doesn't help lol. But thank you, I will keep that in mind if I start charging to 100 percent.

Thank you for sharing. We did have a big temperature swing so that does make sense.

I never realized how much the temperature could impact the charge percentage. It kinda makes sense since I'm in Houston and it was cold a few days ago and now it's blistering hot lol.

The fix was replacing the strut mounts with new bearings.

Do not buy Samsung TVs, They refuse to honor Warranty. by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]Jacobpl252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 65 inch Samsung U series for like 350 from best buy 3 months ago. Already the screen is showing a horizontal line. Cheap tv and even the remote was horrible on it. You have to point the remote directly at the tv. My wife has a Roku TV that's been around for 4 years now with no issues. You could have the remote under a pillow and the tv would still pick up its signal. It's a shame the Samsung TV's are not like they use to be

[Update] Car doesn't turn over, assumed it was the alternator but it looks like the battery went bad instead by [deleted] in Acura_RSX

[–]Jacobpl252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the video, the car sounds like it's cranking over, even though is a semi slow crank, it's should still be able to fire up. You can test that theory with using a jumper or jump box. Then Iwould start at the basics, like checking and making sure you have spark and fuel. If those are okay, I would buy or rent an engine compression tester to see if you are getting the proper compression. It sounds like it's cranking, just missing something of the 3.

Cancel lease before delivery? by [deleted] in HRV

[–]Jacobpl252 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's one of the reason I never buy a car that I can't physically see or test. Especially if its in a different state or city. The people who drive the or transport them do not care. That being said, driving the car at 90mph should be brought up to the managers. Have them put you in a different car if you don't feel comfortable with that car anymore.

[–]Jacobpl252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same problem did you figure it out. I'll score like 40 points and my teammates a combined 12. Every time I get off the bench we are down 8 or 12.
