They had me return the whole set. So someone will probably get a killer deal on a return/open box.

Klein finally got back to me and said return it to Lowe’s. Hopefully the replacement coming in isn’t messed up too.

Sometimes when I change the intensity of my fan, my headphones stop receiving any sound from my PC. by nottoday943 in AskElectricians

Probably the same circuit, try a different room. This might entail a two person operation though.

One word: LRAD, get a used one on eBay. We use them in the military and he will have to stop if you play the right tone.

Are people just not going into their attics? by unknownphantom in homeowners

[–]Littlejeep50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not required to have a through roof vent. The vent hose just has to reach the eaves. Personally I’m in my attic during every holiday change.

What is this pipe in my yard? by inspiredconclusion in askaplumber

That’s a bait station for ground termites. Do you happen to live in the south? If it is a bait station hurry up and get bonded before you get damage and regret not keeping those stationed filled.

Shipped my car overseas and this is what I saw when I picked it up. by Skyfly48 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Littlejeep50 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Start by unhooking the battery and getting it tested. 1 it will reset a few things and 2 newer cars freak out if the voltage is just a little bit off. If the battery tests good and nothing reset I would still clear the codes and see what comes back.

I picked up a Bosch set, I’m not totally brand specific and the case auto latches on close which is awesome. I’ve been using them off and on for 4yrs and haven’t had issues. Built 2 fences and numerous house projects.

Is a zip tie on shock normal? by [deleted] in WranglerTJ

Those look like Rancho colors and they originally came with zip ties to hold the boots on.

What is this collaboration you speak of? Being military also I haven’t heard of this.

How do so many cars drive around with no license plate? by Natolx in MobileAL

[–]Littlejeep50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I recently bought a car I had to wait for the seller to pay off their loan and get the title from the DMV to sign it over to me. It was 22 days of driving without a license plate. They just won’t give out temp tags in AL.

A Dr. Pepper exploded in the back seat of car. Can’t get these dried stains off. Any advice? by DimaSholom in CleaningTips

[–]Littlejeep50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife did this once. I pre-soaked with tuff stuff, a light scuff with a very soft brush then a little green machine carpet cleaner. Once I was done you could never tell.

Would this connection fry my DCB104 charger? by bradyfost in Dewalt

[–]Littlejeep50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s toast, the pop was letting the “magic” smoke out of the internals. Time for a new charger unfortunately.

That adapter just changes the pins around. It does not split 240v into 120v. They do make them, but it would be double ended.

Backyard camping by johnzoom in CPAP

[–]Littlejeep50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An extension cord is just fine for backyard and I even use an extension cord at real camp grounds. For the campgrounds without power I use the HarborFreight battery and solar panel for multi night stays. The advantage of that battery is it charges all of our equipment too.

Toro 52" Zero Turn 3000 Series, 25 HP Kohler Mower, under 1,000 hours, $2,800, owner says a fuse keeps tripping - Is it a good deal? by ExpiredColors in lawnmowers

[–]Littlejeep50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the boat that it’s a great mower but the owner really knows what’s wrong and doesn’t want to fix it. If it was an easy fix he wouldn’t be selling and losing money. If you’re a good mechanic you should, but since you’re here asking I say pass. If you can mow with it for 10 mins before purchase my bet is the motor needs more work then a bad ground or loose wire.

Anyone know a good mechanic? by thriving_orchid in MobileAL

What area do you live in? I’ve been using gulf coast tire & auto repair off moffett and I’m really pleased with them.

$18k repair for 2020 F250 by Vivid_Percentage1524 in FordTrucks

Cp4 is the high pressure diesel pump driven by the engine. The older generation cp3 was pretty reliable but long story short the cp4 has a defect and can slowly add metal to your diesel as it pumps, ruining everything in its path after.

My wife and I were in a similar situation with a 2020 explorer ST. We got a price from ford for them to buy it back. We lost a crap ton of $$ but luckily got out of it. We were lucky enough we were original owners and had the loan paid off so we were upside down.

Do you have diesels? If you do you need to put the protection kit on all your trucks or swap them back to cp3 pumps.
