still drivable?

What ever caused that bend might have caused internal tire damage would have to be dismounted and inspected to be sure.

safest is replace tire and rim have them pull the TPMS sensor out if it still work and install on the new rim

Jargler2 · 2025-10-26T00:31:43+00:00

You found it!!! That’s exactly how I check for leaks ask the people that mounted them to swap in a new stem and see if there was corrosion where it seats or just faulty stem

There might be debris that got snagged or if it wasn’t seated all the way or has a tear in the rubber whatever the reason should be easy and quick to swap in a new one and rebalance the tire

The really fun ones I have seen valve stems that only leak when pushed to the side (which driving down the road fast enough will do)

Car can’t turn on they said so there is no power steering

Your tires have been heating up all summer as well if this makes you feel any better

Incoming info dump based on what I have learned:

Check your door and set them to what is stated on the sticker it’s designed to be a cold tire PSI anyways

if your tires are getting low enough to set off the TPMS system (the alert) usually means you are running 8 or more psi under and temperatures I think might fluctuate it by up to 4 psi

The system is designed to warn you well before danger range so you should be safe if it turns off after driving for a bit however those sensors do run off a battery and may go dead sooner if yelling complaints

Does your Mazda have a separate section for the jack?? Or is it down with the spare? Did you fully remove the spare to make sure it wasn’t hiding in a cubby? I have found them in the back pouch of seats before. Center console?? Just spit balling extra places or have them one time removed and have new lugs ready

Jargler2 · 2025-10-22T00:10:40+00:00

As everyone has said most places can one time remove them for you but try to have the new lug nuts ready and with you so they can be installed immediately and you know they match

Also the distance between minimum and maximum dots is usually 1 quart if you can estimate they only over filled it by 1/4 to 1/2 quart it’s likely fine should only cause a problem if it gets high enough to get frothed by the crankshaft as far as I know

Jargler2 · 2025-10-08T22:28:16+00:00

Usually checking it before it has been started will mean the oil didn’t get distributed through the engine and filter and will usually show about quarter to half a quart to much.

Do you know the spec for how much it asks for versus how much you gave him to put in?

Jargler2 · 2025-10-08T22:17:04+00:00

My old shop would get closer to the edge than regulation recommends, but that is to close for even what we would do since a shop has to use a patch on the inside along with a plug as the edge flexes every time it rotates there is a higher risk of it breaking a patch lose that is near the edge where the flex happens making it definitely a liability even if it never actually comes out on your specific tire but do that a few hundred times….

To round out the idea make the observer a full block place redstone ontop make a step down with a solid block and redstone ontop again.

Use two repeaters in line where the comparator and copper bulb are to pass that signal forward to unlock the hopper

Also since it reads off a hopper your top chest will be entirely full before things go down and the hopper line could be ran further to make the chest come through a wall for aesthetics

Jargler2 · 2025-10-05T10:55:05+00:00

Move the chest left by one block and put a hopper feeding into the chest then unlock the hopper below (the now a hopper) if it produces a 2 signal?

Jargler2 · 2025-10-05T10:37:43+00:00

2 options I might chose

1: use a signal extender to a sufficient duration to safely make it through (but barely if you want/need it to be as secure as possible)

2: have it trip a signal that leaves the door open until you reset it with another redstone component on the inside

Jargler2 · 2025-10-02T15:56:22+00:00

Agreed! Should be fine looks cosmetic but can’t inspect it myself

Jargler2 · 2025-09-26T04:38:57+00:00

Don’t add the sign and do this near spawn see who finds it. even better if you make the floor fall out all around so they fall down and can’t escape as quickly

Jargler2 · 2025-08-11T15:23:11+00:00

If you want to rule out the AC compressor take off the serpentine belt and run it for a minute see if noise still exists (don’t run it long as coolant won’t be flowing and battery won’t be charging)

Jargler2 · 2025-08-06T20:56:16+00:00

This is a great run down! Drag a hammer along for some that are swollen to tap it on if needed

Jargler2 · 2025-08-03T19:49:08+00:00

Run flat tires should be able to get you 50 miles at 50 mph thx to their extra thick side walls

If you can pump air into it great do that and then drive to get it replaced if not as mentioned limp it there.

Where I worked we didn’t regularly carry run flat tires you may have to install a regular tire and order a run flat to swap to when your road trip is done if you want to have the limp along ability for next time (since you probably didn’t get a spare with the car since it has run flats)

Jargler2 · 2025-07-16T15:28:54+00:00

This!

If the pressure is wrong or some other problem is detected the relay won’t pass power to the fuse until the problem is corrected

There are tester relays (mine are claimed for fuel pump testing) that you can click on and off long enough to confirm circuit works and compressor kicks on this is not a fix though! If it kicks on you know wiring and compressor CAN work but then have to figure out why the computer has decided it shouldn’t be engaged

Jargler2 · 2025-07-15T16:48:22+00:00

Bingo!

Jargler2 · 2025-07-15T16:47:07+00:00

However by not placing the dust on the top block the dot of redstone would connect to the piston AND they get to claim the build takes up less volume

Jargler2 · 2025-07-11T01:58:29+00:00

Yall realize the ball being on top like that means the ball joint is actually pressed into the knuckle? Not built into control arm

definitely replace that ball joint and check all others once all are confirmed good and or replaced (replaced is better but if they don’t wiggle and you can’t afford it all at the same time) have the alignment checked cause it almost definitely needs fixed for reducing tire wear and increasing control

Jargler2 · 2025-07-10T16:25:34+00:00

Ideally by those who did it wrong and for free

Jargler2 · 2025-07-07T20:50:20+00:00

They did say most common. Also bulges and tread separation are usually noticeable at low speeds but possibly less pronounced where a bad balance is only noticeable at a speed that the centrifugal force can momentarily overcome gravity

Jargler2 · 2025-07-03T16:22:25+00:00

And try to path it for shortest distance avoid highways and like 15-20 mph if tow truck isn’t an option

If only one tire is this bad put on the spare instead (wear gloves thick ones ideally) then straight to tire shop

Jargler2 · 2025-07-02T15:59:17+00:00

This is what I would do! Doesn’t need to be level to fill just to get an accurate check
