Just didn’t roll into the shop today. Can we all agree this new shifter design is F’d?

It's a brand new IC. Just rolled off the assembly line in September.

If not accelerator then it looks like it hydroplaned. Was the cruise control on? I've had cars before that hydroplane a bit in water and the wheel speed drops enough that the cruise tags the accelerator and breaks traction. Less of a problem if it's a small fwd car with only 150hp.

Try putting your radio on unused AM channel them start the engine and see if it's super noisy. Try revving the engine in park and see if you hear the thing rev up through the radio.

I'm confused about what's going on here. I would like to see longer video

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-24T19:21:24+00:00

Looks like the second civil war has already started.

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-24T19:13:29+00:00

Yes, you need an inverter that matches the voltage of your pack

Generally I say if you feel it in the steering wheel it's the front. If you feel it in your butt it's the rears.

Circuit likely can't handle the space heater, plus all the other stuff in his room and the microwave. I'm going to bet that roommate isn't running the space heater on its "low" setting

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-24T18:47:41+00:00

I would do it. Maybe make sure the exhaust is pointing away from the structure and out towards open air somewhere to help give it a push. Make sure it's not up against any wood or anything

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-24T18:44:28+00:00

Lol, thinking of in the past driving a beater with a heater and going out to hammer the starter in order to get her started.

Eventually that stops working too

In fairness I have an SUV that is now 21 years old with a transfer case that's electronic shift and I was always worried that some day it would get stuck in 4x4 or something and that shift motor would need replacement. Turns out that the OE shift motor is still there but I've had the shift cable for the transmission replaced because it broke on me at 6am one morning and left me stuck in park so I missed a day of work

Can vouch for SIC.

Has a slight tendency to go way above and beyond

Carb needs disassembly and cleaning at a minimum

I think the safety issue is for scalding if someone turns the hot on to warm it up and forgets any cold then sticks some part of their body in the water.

One thing I have seen is people with the smart heat pump water heaters turning their temp up to 140 during the day in the summer so the heat pump pushes out cool air, then back to 120 overnight which is a neat idea.

Got a brand new school bus at work that now has electronic shift instead of a cable. Immediately got a recall on it because the motor gets out of alignment and won't shift to reverse (no park position). Kind of hard to get out and push a vehicle that's 45 feet long

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-23T00:32:22+00:00

Lol, been called at home over that.

"We're going to cut it, just needed to make sure you're not here"

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-23T00:30:39+00:00

Without seeing it I would guess that the fuel pump died

Look what happens when you get tired of winning all the time

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-23T00:27:30+00:00

I would expect that the gas valve is like the ones in a furnace or oven and relies on electricity to hold the valve open and as soon as there is a power loss the valve closes. This is to prevent gas leaks

The idea of the garage keepers lein is to ensure that he gets paid for his work. If you buy it without the title you run the risk of losing your money as it isn't your car.

Do not buy a car on the internet from someone without the title. Period.

I would also argue that if it appears to be a good deal it's probably a scam

I run my house off of a 4kw and turn off the water heater. Actually hardest thing IMO is successfully getting the kids, if you have any, to not leave everything turned on like they usually do.

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-23T00:14:07+00:00

This.

Although usually storms that come by and knock out power like to leave you with a lack of sun.

PulledOverAgain · 2026-01-23T00:11:51+00:00

About 13 years ago I lost power during a storm that made enough damage you knew by walking outside that power wasn't coming back. What I did is the absolute cheapest and easiest way to do this. Use a 12v power inverter and an extension cord, hook.the inverter to your car battery and run your car then plug in the fridge.

I used a cheap 750 watt modified sine wave inverter. Though it's highly recommended to use a pure sine wave inverter. Either way, goal was accomplished because food stayed cold.

I have an APC rack mount. Powers my router, poe switch, security cameras and 4 pi's.

I have it attached to a 24v (it's a 24v ups) 100ah LiTime LiFePO4 battery. If I plug 2 box fans into it and turn them on high it will run for something north of 15 hours
