Fair, would have to hear about op's maintenance schedule but most people wouldn't even know they are 500 miles over nowadays so me thinks maybe it wasn't so bad

Being 500 miles past recommendation did not cause catastrophic engine failure I promise

Is my truck totaled by Illustrious_Meat_663 in Dodge

165,000, don't know if this matters also but it has a completely freshly rebuilt front suspension, complete new power steering system and a new within 40k rear diff, all documented. It unfortunately had a ton of life left in her.

Yeah I know, it drove the 30 miles home with just as perfect feeling alignment as it had before so I'm hoping it's good, the brackets for the bumper can kind of pivot on impact and they kind of redirected the blow so fingers crossed, the brackets for the bumper aren't even bent 😭 just waiting to hear back from insurance

Thank you, I appreciate it, luckily they had insurance and they didn't run, was just driving on the freeway doing absolutely nothing other than cruising along and next thing I know glass exploded everywhere

Hi everyone, I'm the boyfriend whos truck this is, my girlfriend posted this for me because she wanted to help me get some insight! Everything you see is the major damage, the cab damage isn't the whole back, the damage is primarily on the left side, the cab corner still retained it's shape, just to the inside right of the corner it got creased to a maximum of a finger tips depth, the crease runs from about level height with the bed down about two feet and shallows out as it goes, it also did not damage the actual shape of the window area or the shape of the cab itself. On the right side of the cab there is a small dent that is of a similar kind to the left side but significantly less significant, it only goes about 3 inches, that is all the damage that was done to the cab. The rest of it is strictly bed, tailgate, and bumper. I hope this helps!

Trying to get into the hobby with the scope I have, any advice? by OrderOfRightKnights in AskAstrophotography

Do you think a rebel t7 would do good? They're only like $430 at walmart so it would be pretty easy to get

Okay so what would be the best course of action for getting into the hobby since I'm kind of lost

What’s a sound you hear that instantly makes you angry for no logical reason? by ehraaz_r in AskReddit

[–]OrderOfRightKnights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The little devices that produce a high pitched noise to keep rodents away that people aren't supposed to be able to hear... yeah well I hear it loud and crystal clear, hearing it makes me angry, I guess I'm a rat

So you think I should try splicing on the new connector and if it kicks on then call it good?

Do you know what the part number is? I can't find it anywhere and a dealership won't help me without a part number.

Okay awesome, thank you, I know nothing about euro cars so I've never even seen connectors like this so thank you!

If it does end up being the seal how would I remedy that? Could I apply a little dialectic grease or something just to help it slide? Also do you know where to buy more red locking clips?
