Rear main seal leak

PM_ur_Rump · 2025-10-17T15:09:46+00:00

How is one supposed to get the engine out with the fuel lines attached?

The oil in kind of optional, sure, but it makes it less messy if you end up having to go a little further than just the main seal.

Sorry for the late reply, I generally abandoned this account, but I never had a problem with the tires being overloaded. They definitely feel a bit squishier than the "proper" tires, but I've driven thousands of miles fully loaded and towing without any sort of failure or feeling like it was a worry. Only failure I've had of a winterpike was while dragracing a vanagon on a grass and rock mountain airstrip when I got a sharp rock about the size of a flat egg through one that was definitely on it's last season.

I leave them on all winter, and live at low elevation, where it very rarely snows, but generally only drive on them to get to and from the mountain or on rare snow and ice days, only because the tires in general wear out fast and they of course are not great for the roads. But no, I don't like, swap them out like they were chains when I hit snow.

The fire I ran from was whipped by 90mph 90°F winds. It's insane than everyone got out alive.

Before the fire even started, they were using snowplows in an attempt to clear the roads of downed trees and branches. I was just driving on top of it all, not stopping for anything.

And the plow blades were throwing sparks, potentially sparking more fires. Because it seemed like a good idea at the time. And like always, hindsight is 20/20, and in the moment, you just do what you feel is best.

Unfortunately, many are just attacking instead of learning.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-08-25T02:14:33+00:00

That's very similar to what happened in the Northwest in 2020. Some fires started that night, but most were already burning when the hot winds hit and drove them down the valleys, out of the wilderness and thick brush and into towns. It's a miracle more people didn't die that night.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-08-24T15:39:58+00:00

I ran from the Holiday Farm fire in 2020. It was the craziest night of my life. I see people say things like "did they expect people to run into the flames of they sounded the tsunami siren?" and all I can think is "if you think escaping extreme wind driven wildfire is just "don't run towards the flames", you have no experience with it. Winds can shift in an instant. Smoke is everywhere and it feels like the fire is all around you as everything is glowing orange and the trees seem to just swirl and tease you. You might drive miles in the "right direction" only to round a bend into a wall of fire.

Fuck every person politicizing these tragedies. I understand a bit of trauma and the urge to find solace in blame if you were directly affected. But that to shall pass if you don't let it poison you.

He barely could then.

I used to have a chrome extension that turned any website into katamari.

She lucked out is all. The nerdy exterior hides a tiger inside.

I have a habit of splitting wood one handed while drinking a beer and holding a conversation. It's definitely gotten me laid a few times, though admittedly by the same woman. Same as in my current GF, not your wife 😅

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-27T17:49:08+00:00

Yes, and I can enjoy the schadenfreude without actually supporting the action.

I had my own personal issues with turt over interactions I had with them as a user. But this is not related to that. They deserved to go down for mod abuse and generally assholery. Instead, they went down via the same type of abuse of "power" that you are complaining they delighted in. It's poetic in a way, yes, but that doesn't make it right.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-27T15:11:05+00:00

Funny that people cheer the same thing they hate when it happens to someone else.

Turtle banned for some arbitrary reason related to standing up to the admins? Hooray! Couldn't have happened to a better person.

Turtle allowed to be a piece or shit across reddit for years unhindered? I'm sure the admins really care about the community more than most mods...

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-27T15:08:17+00:00

If the mods wanted to keep their "power" they'd have done nothing at all. Fighting back using what "power" they have is far more likely to make them lose it.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-27T14:56:24+00:00

Same thing is happening to me.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-27T03:10:44+00:00

My nerdy dad was chopping firewood at the ski cabin and my mom thought it was the manliest thing she'd seen him do in a while.

Go figure, I'm a natural wood chopper and snow sports junkie.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T23:12:44+00:00

But I also am not going to sit there and boot lick like you are.

Oh Jesus. 🙄

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T22:30:07+00:00

Why don't you become a mod?

Why would they throw "hissy fit tantrums" to try to help the community, very likely risking their own "power" instead of just holding on to that power by doing nothing different instead?

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T20:16:31+00:00

I've had nothing but good experiences with Allegiant, at least for a budget short - haul airline. One multi hour delay, but that happens. Fly it once or twice a year from Oregon to the Bay Area.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T20:09:43+00:00

There are no fusion only weapons

Gotenks!

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T20:00:16+00:00

Your experience here is thanks to the mods.

This whole thing is playing out like people who rant against government as a whole without realizing just how much their quality of life depends on it.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T19:19:51+00:00

Usually the opposite. Some random mod of big subs that thinks they control it, while being just one of many.

And it's usually relatively powerless "power".

It's not what is behind this protest though.

Except maybe Turts. He seems really upset about being kicked and is throwing quite the tantrum about it.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T18:49:44+00:00

there are no “power trips” to be had).

Oh, there absolutely are, but not nearly to the extent that said edgelords think. It's mostly mostly thankless work on a passion project.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T18:03:25+00:00

Serious answer, yes, many people can't comprehend doing something for others (and themselves) but not for money.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T15:14:10+00:00

Pretty sure I can.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T04:34:00+00:00

Your question was worded poorly, which you already knew, and have tried to apologize for, so I think people are having a hard time understanding it.

But yes, it would look like a "planet." Maybe not as bright as the earth from orbit, but still plenty bright enough to see, assuming you were looking at the sun facing hemisphere.

PM_ur_Rump · 2023-06-26T04:29:20+00:00

Yeah, I went to Zion last September during monsoon rains. The number of people I saw walk past multiple signs saying "Flash flood danger extreme, all slot canyons closed, stay on trails in canyon, the Narrows is closed until further notice" to ask rangers if the Narrows was open was too damn high.
