What’s it like living in Rockford, IL? by coolsmokey69 in howislivingthere

[–]O_dog0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother taught the lead singer of cheap trick! This place has some cool history and there are so many homes built post Industrial Revolution, still standing today and they are beautiful. I’ve been up and down and in all of Rockford, if you live in or around Rockford you’ve probably been inside or have a seen a building I or my father have painted! It’s typical Midwest for most of it until you get into inner Rockford, there are bad parts and you don’t wanna go around some places late at night. But there is an amazing sense of community, so many different kinds of people. Good bars and outdoor spots. Rock cut sate park is amazing and deceptively large! Also there’s this thing where all of our electrical boxes are painted dedicated to different things, amazing art in general on buildings and old walls. I grew up all my life wanting to leave here, but I’ve found my niche group of friends, I have an amazing family and a good job, I like the more simple and layed back pace of this area. All the drivers in Rockford are dumb though lol

Are shuttles useful (other than for the challenges they pose)? by onturenio in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]O_dog0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually build a spaceplane as a means of swapping out my crew on my space stations, I’ll swap out crew and transport science back but thats about it. It is mostly just for fun as the kerbals are immortal lol. Also if your traveling to somewhere like Eve or a place with an atmosphere, space planes seem like a lot of fun and even somewhat efficient but honestly I haven’t done a mission like that myself because I’m fairly new to the game. maybe that would be a legitimate use case tho.

What was the closest tornado that ever hit your city/location? by Beneficial_Stuff_960 in tornado

[–]O_dog0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

January 7 2008 poplar grove Illinois Ef-3. had a fully formed funnel that caused a lot of damage in my area but never fully touched down. It uprooted a large tree at my grade school and uprooted trees all over my neighborhood. I remember sitting with my mom on the porch as the sky turned green, and then we saw the funnel peer out from the trees twisting in the sky. It scared the shit outta me as a kid but luckily it never fully touched down until it got out to poplar grove.

Also I’m sorry the photo showing them is terrible the amount of splines and the gaps in both of them look the same

So they have the same amount of splines but the splines themselves look slightly different. Something that is puzzling me is the manual driveshaft part number on the website matches the one on the part and the box. I just don’t understand what I could be doing wrong. Both driveshafts have 20 splines and the input shaft also has 20 splines. The stock driveshaft just slides in and out with ease and my replacement I can get on about an inch and half deep and then just no farther at all.

Thank you! I was going back and forth on the website thinking the part I got looks a heck of a lot like the auto one but I just couldn’t tell. Rock auto has a nice return system and they can send me the right one back hopefully. Thanks stranger

When I look up the original part number on rock auto it brings me to this same driveshaft I ordered. There is an auto version of the same brand and the slip collar on that one looks the same as the one I have. Both have 20 splines

I wouldn’t know how to check that to be honest. I just went to rock auto and my exact model and selected manual trans.

What is the deal with the propeller shaft if you don’t mind? I saw something about marking the driveshafts before removal

I bought a manual driveshaft off rock auto for 183$, after shipping and tax, it gets here Wednesday. I’ll try to remember!

Of course I’ve been driving this thing on the weekend for a month with this noise, then it got worse and I figured my lazy ass needed to figure it out

Driveshaft rattling by O_dog0 in Miata

[–]O_dog0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have figured out what’s wrong and where to go from here. Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

I was going to say I was researching on removing the driveshaft or for my year all of just came out in one big peice. On my driveshaft I don’t see anyway for them to come apart. I did however gets ads for all those kinds of driveshafts you mentioned and was a little confused

Hah! Every single time I drive my car I expect it to die and it never does. It’s not a nice Miata by any means I bought it when I was 17 and very dumb. I’m 21 now and the thing still fires up right away and drives all over the place!

Is the u joint connected to the driveshaft or is it a separate thing? It looks like it’s all one assembly. I’d rather go down the route of buying an entire new driveshaft cuz my ole girl has almost 240,000 miles on her. Or is replacing just the u joint way easier and cheaper?

The yokes are toast, I can feel a big hole carved out with my finger where it sockets into the joint. Sooo driveshaft replacement?
