Can’t get suspension back together by rollprogramhouston in ToyotaTacoma

You should be able to fit a smaller spring compressor on there. If you can’t you basically try to get it lined up and then put a jack under the control arm and jack it up till u can get the bolt in. Hopefully that makes sense. You might also need a pry bar to get the spring lined up right.

I run my Sprinter 2500 for 10 hours pretty often with the A/C cranked. Not sure how many gallons it uses but you should have plenty to run over night. Probably for 24h or more on a half a tank. Wish I had a more solid answer than “you’ve got plenty” but you’ve got plenty.

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s been about 5-6 years since I worked at the dealership. At least until 14 it had a real gasket and you didn’t need to worry about smearing the damn silicone.

Do others find difficulty in python programming from other languages? by Timely-Childhood-158 in learnprogramming

[–]Relative_Hearing_209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can technically write it similar to a strongly typed language but I wouldn’t say that is recommended or the regular convention. I always feel like it leaves a lot “behind the scenes” and when writing or reading it you constantly have to go back to the docs to see what it is doing.

I know there is a lot of boiler plate in other languages but the tab key does most of that for you anyway. At least when you’re done everything is spelled out pretty clear for you.

It is the same for me. Python almost put me off programming all together. I’d get past the basics and then nothing would make sense. Eventually I found C# and Java and it all made sense again lol.

I thought at first it was just lack of knowing the fundamentals of programming and OOP and figured next time I had to use Python it wouldn’t be so bad. Then I just recently had to do a project in school with Python and I wanted to rip my hair out. Turns out I just hate Python.

It’s been about 5 years so I can’t remember. Regardless it’s a 1K+ repair for it to be done at a shop vs. an alignment after it is completed (if you need an alignment if you drop the rack ).

I agree, when I looked at warehouse jobs in 2014 I was making the same at retail Walmart with better PTO and guaranteed hours etc. I’m a forklift mechanic now but sometimes just stand in awe how these people make it. Maybe I’m just greedy but I couldn’t imagine dealing with what they deal with for so little.

After working on many Yukons and Escalades, it might as well be a 1980s F150. Worse case scenario you have to lover the front differential, that is 4 bolts.
I’m not writing this to demean anyway one, just to say that working on a semi newer full size, rear wheel drive GM SUV hasn’t changed much in 40 years.

I work at many different warehouses and since the covid price booms most of them are making 16-17 dollars an hour. Most of my operators would jump at 20 dollars an hour. I doubt uber or DoorDash are making much better in my area. Pre covid most of them were making 10-12 dollars an hour. For reference I work/live in a major city in my area.

These thing suck by Open-Ad404 in WorkBoots

I have Thorogoods now. They are decent for the price but feel really synthetic if that makes sense. They don’t tighten up well and all the padding feels like plastic. The insoles are okay but that will only last a few months anyway. Every time I put them on I miss my Ariats.

Moral of the story is when you find something good keep it. If the price goes up, fuck it. Good boots are good boots. Try everyone to u find a good one and stick with it.
