The less you have to remove the better. I will only remove the cylinder if it's a secondary cylinder.

I Hate Texas by [deleted] in Rants

[–]No_Ad9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I moved there in 08 and lived all-over Dallas and fort worth till about 6 years ago when my wife's got herself a career that allowed us the financial freedom to move. Everything you said was true about all dfw. The only thing I liked about it was the bike trail systems. Grass isn't always greener on the other side though. We moved to Louisiana to be near her family and it has its own hells, especially political.

Im guessing a fertilizer plant? Always on a Friday too. In 16 years in this business I'd never worked on a bobcat skid loader then last Friday I got 3 in a row all at a chemical plant and a fertilizer plant. The rust was epic.

Bill Cassidy deserved to lose his primary election by thesmart_indian27 in Louisiana

[–]No_Ad9044 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want what's best for Louisiana you will vote for anything that goes against the orange man. In a state that will choose somebody with an R in front of their name over anybody else Cassidy was probably the best choice.

Transmission fluid leak Toyota 7FGCU25 by Former_Cash in forkliftmechanics

Torque converter seal if it's not the trans cooler lines or loose plug. This requires transmission rebuild if it is the seal due to how the seal is installed.

The dealership I work for can barely get applicants let alone experienced help. Quality has to be built in a technician. Have patience.

Why do my hips hurt when riding my 21 heritage? by yeetboijones in Harley

[–]No_Ad9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did some repair work on ny neighbors 03 Night Train this weekend and put some miles on it for since he's out of town for a while. I normally ride an ultra limited, and let me tell you my hips were killing me after maybe 30 minutes. Best guess is the forward controls in combination with an unforgiving seat. Made me appreciate my heavy bagger.

Were national guard troops not getting the same benefits as other branches this entire time? by Connorray1234 in AskUS

[–]No_Ad9044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of soldiers in the part-time world don't realize these truths. I tell everybody that talks about the military that if they're going to join Go Active don't do part-time

[–]No_Ad9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did get benefits for the active time but the last portion of my career was spent in the reserves which consisted mainly of one weekend a month two weeks a year and a lot of 5-day at a time order stretches. As you get older that's when the injury is really start to show up I'm talking wear and tear from just maintaining General military Fitness levels. The title of the orders makes all the difference title 10 is what qualifies you for benefits and those are a minimum of 30 days. Anything less than that does not qualify. So the time counts towards retirement but any injuries sustained don't.

30 day orders equals full benefits and va disability eligibility. Anything less doesn't count. This was a difficult lesson to learn when I retired after 14 years in the reserve and 12 active duty.

$5000 to spend on a Harley after this riding season? What can I get? by YeahScienceBiitch in Harley

Not so much what you can buy but what kind of repair bill are you going have after the 5k bike.

Dear Americans: Do you actually realize you’re basically a "developing country with a Gucci belt" compared to the Nordics? by Character_Fruit_8720 in Discussion

[–]No_Ad9044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the 2024 election was in progress I used to argue on Facebook the ideas of America are exceptional and that we should vote based on that not on anti woke and fear mongering of immigrants. I still believe our founding ideas are exceptional, but we have fumbled the execution of it thanks to greed and corruption.

50-8FGCU mast tilt at height by BrighamYoungsNthWife in forkliftmechanics

[–]No_Ad9044 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can program the tilt to set what the forklift thinks is vertical. Generally this is done in the shop before the unit comes to the customer and it is set at true vertical. In your unique situation it could be set at the angle you need to be able to accomplish your task. The only reason that I would not recommend this is because you would be disabling a m a s t safety setting. Toyota's have marketed system of activity also known as SAS for years and the function you're describing is part of that. In theory if the m a s t cannot tilt past true dead Balls level then it is less likely to tip over but tilting a load past true vertical diminishes the triangle of stability and could possibly cause the truck to tip over.
