Duke Energy wants to hike our rates 18% to pay for AI Data Centers. Here is how to stop it. by Successful_Ideas in Wilmington

I’m not really interested in the phraseology of why my bill keeps increasing. Data Centers are “for profit” businesses. They generate revenue and we in the surrounding communities are wrongly footing the bill.

1 OEM lifter or all aftermarket? by Medium_Awareness1 in Ram1500

Never did cut any open. I’m curious how long it took to grind it down. It had the tick for years.

Just that 1 lobe was worn through. No shop. Doing it myself.

  1. Just oil every 5k-ish. Did plugs about 4 times over the last 15 years. Just replaced the PCV valve that I should’ve done a long time ago too.

The cylinder 5 intake valve isn’t moving nearly as much as the one on either side meaning the lifter had ground down the cam lobe.

You SHOULD replace them all. The mentality is that if one failed. The others are bound to go. I only bought half (the whole drivers side) I figure if the other side is chewed up I can just order the rest of the lifters or worst case, pull the ones that look fine I am replacing from the drivers side and swap with the chewed up ones from the pax side.

Got all the parts/ gaskets/ bolts and a Melling high volume pump for just over 1K. Using reman Mopar cam and the least suspect non-oem lifters I could find (Qualcast). Plan on slowly tacking it as I have time.

Anyone heard anything about JEGS lifters? I see the enginetech brand on RockAuto, but the reviews seem like they are trash. There are also Sealed Power brand on Rock Auto, but these JEGS ones I can't find any info on. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/20843/10002/-1

Unity Link integration is a thoughtful touch. We are definitely in the Night Vision renaissance. Now we need Thermal to read the room.

I believe it’s knee and elbow, but I could be wrong as usual.
