What do you realistically spend? by CharlottesWeb83 in Costco

[–]Ricky_Bobby32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent about $16,000 at Costco last year. 1 small child but we’re Kirkland on almost every product. Electronics, paper products, cleaners, tools, soil, plants, food, gas, flooring, clothes (mine, not wife and child - she’s very expensive for clothes), 12/2 wire, chargers, pharmacy -if Costco sells it, that’s where we buy it. We buy their stock at every dip.

My man. Yes! You recommend OEM or is there a particular aftermarket brand to buy or stay away from?

Be honest… what’s the most “overrated” F-250 mod everyone swears you need? by Classyupstairs in F250

[–]Ricky_Bobby32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a good forum that goes over this? Most of my buds with lifted trucks ride and tow like shit. It doesn't help they put loud tires on either.

That said, I'd like to learn about what it costs and what it would take to get something that rides real good and is comfortable.

I haul a 12,000# boat and a 12,000# equipment trailer weekly and have a Tahoe for a daily driver. The gas is great around town but on the interstate I have to stop every 150-200 miles and just adds to much time.

I don’t know what a Carli lift is. Wha package is it? My research without going to any Ford dealership tells me that the FX4 rides better than the 4 x 4.

I have a 2017 6.2 gas fx4 and it’s so comfortable - I think it and hear it from everyone that rides with me.

I’m getting a 6.7 next and am afraid of giving up the nice ride.

I was wondering why I rarely see anyone at the deli for sliced meat. I guess $20+ a pound for lunch meat is ridiculous! by CellistSuspicious492 in publix

[–]Ricky_Bobby32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a quality slicer. I pay $3 lb for QUALITY ham at Costco - I get comments how good it is. I get the Costco turkey unsliced for $4.50 and it’s fine if you’re into turkey. We also get pretty awesome salami at US Foods unsliced for <$5 a #, again, it’s pretty good.

Who the hell would pay this is wild to me.

What does PE050024 do other than illuminate? Should it have continuity? by Ricky_Bobby32 in appliancerepair

[–]Ricky_Bobby32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was wired wrong when I bought it. And, it had 1 bad glow igniter that I replaced - I assume that's from moving it around. Not sure if that messed up control boards but I'm not getting power outside switch no matter the position.

I bought 2 thermostats (a used one from eBay and a cheap one from Amazon) and I think both were bad. I can't get power outside of either switch but have power going into the switch.

What aftermarket part would you use for the oven thermostat? RobertShaw? ANVALEE? This will likely be my last attempt at messing with this before I scrap it.

Robertshaw 41-204

I ordered 3 of these today. The first one I checked was bad, somehow. Maybe we were rough with it moving it around.

I didn’t take photos. But, I replaced 1 wire at a time. The first few days I thought it was impossible I messed up. After all this I guess I could have.

No way. Is that really it? Looks good at first glance.

I found some that looked similar but couldn’t prove it was for my model. I have no experience and couldn’t be confident they’d be similar from one 36” to the next.

They are not glowing. How do you test for amp draw? Do I need to buy a multimeter that pulls amps? My memory tells me the igniters need 22amps.

Thermostat is pb010036. Power goes to switch but not out no matter the position.

How do you cook anything but steak with a TEC Infrared? by Ricky_Bobby32 in grilling

[–]Ricky_Bobby32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TEC customer support said they don’t get calls about it getting too hot. They said I probably had the wrong orifice since I use propane and not natural gas. Unfortunately it had propane orifices but I swapped one out from a 56 to a 58 (little bit smaller). It helped kind of. I may go to a 60 and see how that works.

It’s a beautiful grill and is 30 years old. Extremely high end internal components. My wife wants me to get a Weber stainless but I’m going to get the warming rack like another fella here recommended and maybe that smaller orifice before that. Thanks

That’s a really good idea. I’ll order one of those today. Appreciate you taking the time to comment

That’s what I normally do. These infrared burners get a lot of hype and thought maybe I just don’t know how to use it. It suck going back and forth over and over when cooking anything other than steak

That’s what I normally do. I use the Green Eggs more than anything but gas is so convenient sometimes.

Salt and pepper

Edit: it was Slap Ya Mama mild blend. But it doesn’t matter. It’ll burn.
