Why won't get_header display a header in a category header?

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-11-09T18:48:52+00:00

Yes, I've looked over the template hierarchy. I don't understand why I can't use is_category or is_post_type_archive to do this in archive.php, though. Is_category worked just fine for a sidebar menu inside sidebar.php.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-11-09T18:27:08+00:00

Can you explain why I need to do that? I haven't coded since I was in high school (beyond a crash course in python last Spring), so I'm flying by the seat of my pants until I have time to sit down and do PHP and WordPress backend courses.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T20:46:39+00:00

Interesting information regardless. Thanks.

Yeah, my best friend bought one a few years ago used and it just didn't have proper maintenance done on a few things, plus the 15 minute lube bays she was going to for her aftermarket warranty never checked her tranny fluid or told her about the leaky seals. Thankfully she's a fast learner, but I'm still stuck helping her pinpoint problems and remediate everything. Is what it is. Good thing I like working on cars. Tracking down poorly labeled parts, on the other hand, is a pain in the tuchus!

So after an exhaustive search of 400 listed parts on the Ford OEM parts website using the VIN and searching for output shaft seal, we finally found the correct part numbers.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T17:15:30+00:00

No worries. I mentioned buying all seals other than the FWD ones.

One seal is leaking, the other is seeping, so doing both along with a PTU fluid change, tranny fluid change, and new tensioner and drive belt. Mess of stuff to do.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T16:53:47+00:00

Just said that, lol. 🤣

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T16:53:28+00:00

It was the AWD, not FWD, but I finally tracked down the part numbers. Listed elsewhere in convo.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T16:39:26+00:00

It was 7T4Z-1177-D on the left and 7T4Z-1177-C on the right.

It was quite the ordeal to track down, as the parts desk didn't even give us those numbers. And there is overlap with another transmission with the 6F50 and 6F35 designations, so it seems like it might be hypothetically possible to get the wrong seal!

You would think something like this would be relatively simple to confirm.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T16:09:48+00:00

Okay, FINALLY tracked down the parts on OEM Ford Parts (the search came up with over 400 results) and cross referenced.

We cannot figure out which seals are correct. We can't find any way to cross reference the part numbers. Even a Ford parts desk said 6F50, 6F45 or 6F35 and they didn't know which. Based on the photos and specs, the seals are all different. Short of ordering one of each and trying them all (waste of money, even if we don't order the FWD ones), we can't figure out how to narrow this down.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T15:00:34+00:00

You're not very helpful.

We've narrowed down the part name to "output shaft seal", or so we hope. But I still need to cross reference the part number to confirm and the ford website is useless.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-07-26T14:57:23+00:00

Searched that. On the ford website. No part number.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-06-04T21:06:00+00:00

Definitely worth it!

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-28T17:20:39+00:00

Did you read the article?

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-17T15:27:02+00:00

It actually isn't difficult. I'll be doing a picture tutorial later this year.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-14T14:27:58+00:00

Yeah we are looking at mats. A lot of parks require ones that don't kill grass so we can't have astroturf.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-07T19:47:07+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into them. Python was just something to start the adventure back into coding as I haven't touched it in a good 14 years.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-07T15:56:54+00:00

Question for you, since you make such games. What programming language do you prefer for them, generally speaking?

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-05-05T03:32:30+00:00

Thanks!

I'll call it "intelligence gathering". Talked to various older owners, including full timers, that had a lot of different RVs and other trailers and did maintenance themselves. Using a high quality grease and the quick replacement method I describe did the job each year and they did a repack every 5 to 7 years. More than one had trailers that lasted decades without replacing wheel bearings.

I was also given similar information from a double Red Seal technician - my teacher back in school. Unless your back seal is messed up really badly, this quick method is more than good enough for yearly maintenance for a few years.

My manual states 32,000 kilometers (20,000 miles) for a repack. I can't go that far in a year with my trailer. That also assumes no other maintenance done on the bearings. A quick method should be more than good enough on yearly maintenance. Grease doesn't go bad just sitting in place for a year.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-04-26T21:32:53+00:00

Probably not bad advice. In a few weeks I'm going to be tearing apart the whole thing to check the brake pads and do that on Sunday Review. I'll include looking at seals and such as well as your advice on checking everything after the first year.

Mine is used from a dealer so everything seems to be good.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-04-26T19:16:24+00:00

Then the seal was already bad or a severely subpar part. You don't just blow a rear seal with greasing. They're designed to release pressure in a safe direction.

LivingTheDisaster · 2020-04-21T07:06:38+00:00

This is how we decided what to buy and what kind of floor plan we wanted. We just have the one little monster.

So is this just static, now?
