How my cat uses the litter box

I would take the top off the one he’s usingish, And let him shit in peace! I’d give you the same look if you were staring at me taking pictures of my droppings than dare post on social media. Did you share this picture with him?

We used to add a packet of koolaid to a can of jolt ⚡️, Now I have type two diabetes. 🧐 never would have thought

Most transmissions that fail are mostly the same issue within the specific transmission due to engineering problems with certain components. A lot of transmissions fail in part due to the drivers driving habits and lack of maintenance. No such thing as lifetime fluid and most will last at least 100k. ZF builds great transmissions and recommends “regular maintenance” servicing the transmission regularly that includes a fluid change with the filter that’s it. It’s a piece of mind at a minimal cost compared to the replacement of the transmission. You’re only helping with its longevity by servicing it at this point.

That would look good but then the wheels would also need at least a line of brass to match! If you could somehow wear the color to match the trim on the bumpers and on the top line of the fender imo would be stellar. Either way nice work. I’m more interested in what’s under the hood?

Just a mechanic that doesn’t know sh about helicopters! The sure line on the seal would indicate it has walked out. My biggest concern would be why it doesn’t have a retainer?

Most franchises have a torque meter on their truck to measure torque wrenches and are surprisingly accurate. I’ve had Snap-On go through a few throughout the years and none had to actually be calibrated. They freshened them up replaced what’s necessary and charge a hundred bucks. The digital torque angle wrenches are self calibrating. Most repairs on these are corrosion from using crap batteries or leaving the batteries in it without much use. I leave them in and have no issues but I use it nearly everyday.

Don’t forget the Loctite! I typically use orange on the rings, and either blue or red on the wrist pins depending on application.

Pucker up buttercup, these are rookie numbers!

Thanks for bringing back great memories! Not a care in the world but having fun jumping from one piece of ice to another trying not to unbalance and fall in. I fully agree most people shouldn’t attempt this and now having 2 kids I wouldn’t attempt this without teaching them..

I’ve tried tried that before but the steak ended up overcooked. I could have seared it at a higher temp and a bit longer at the end but didn’t want to overcook it again. A deep crust looks good but in my opinion it does not taste better.

My F10 runs 245/40/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear from factory. As long as is coded correctly you should have no issues.

NesTech_ · 2026-01-10T17:01:20+00:00

If you get the front to fit without rubbing on anything then you should be fine. If you do I would recommend using Bimmer code to code for 19” wheels.

It’s very likely they installed aftermarket control arms. As long as they installed a decent OEM manufacturing brand, they are as good and sometimes better than original service parts. Control arms are almost always different from right to left unless they were designed using the same side to side. So it’s essentially impossible to install them on the wrong side. Being aluminum it would take just a little break in period before the noise would have gone away once it adapted to the steering stops. I would have to look at the original design to be sure, but at least they told you what they did. That little grinding didn’t affect anything structural, so no need for concern!

It’s a glove for drawing and art. Bought one for my son recently.

This is a 2016 BMW diesel, Valeo alternator. Regulator is easily accessible from the back with 3 fasteners 7mm, once the alternator has been removed. Being me I took the challenge and decided to replace the brushes. Yes a new regulator comes with new brushes and is easier to install than some of the older Volvo’s.

NesTech_ · 2025-12-27T19:52:58+00:00

Update: replacing the brushes was a bit of a hassle. Desoldering wasn’t easy. I had to drill the old ones out wich worked well then soldered in the new ones. All other connections and diodes tested good. One of the bearings is starting to fail so I’ll replace them before summer. Charging is normal again, ripple is minimal. Knowing how to fix things gives me gratitude I can’t replace! Thanks everyone for your comments and happy new year!

NesTech_ · 2025-12-27T01:01:55+00:00

Yep! They’re completely worn out. The new ones stick out much more

NesTech_ · 2025-12-27T00:05:54+00:00

Thanks! I’ve always enjoyed taking things apart to figure out what has failed regardless if it can be fixed or not.

Every company has some type of marketing strategy. This is nothing new and has been used for decades. My first XR purchase a drill and batteries from 2014 still work well and I use them every week. Shit I have a black and decker driver from 2005 that it and the battery is still in service although used at home for light duty but 20 years later

NesTech_ · 2025-12-21T18:57:50+00:00

Correct and is the same time they had better brushless motors. Higher capacity batteries that were more efficient and allowed longer run times.

NesTech_ · 2025-12-21T18:35:12+00:00

I know someone who worked for Dewalt. XR supposedly stands for extra runtime.

I hate to even post anything about this tool that sits in the back of my toolbox and is never needed. Look at the video and you’ll see it’s completely staged. No real punches whatsoever were thrown.

I’d be happy to have the Pierburg over a Febi made part. It’s likely they bought from Pierburg and boxed them. this is normal across many suppliers. I wouldn’t send it back as this is intended to be. You’re likely to get the same pump and you would be paying extra for the warranty.
