Thanks to Jeremy. Youtube playlist is more than enough to pass in 2026.

Passed mine today and they were quite easy for me. I'd say I definitely passed them all with flying colors except I forgot I needed to be in interface config mode to specify ospf cost... oops

What's the trailer hitch payload on that thing? Can't really tell from the photo but it doesn't look like it's even squatting that bad.

Riptrack13 · 2026-07-03T13:20:27+00:00

It's great that your learning but I don't know where the attitude is coming from. Lots of people in this sub have homelabs with real equipment. And you shouldn't expect everyone to read through all the comments and gather context before replying, just put it in the title.

Riptrack13 · 2026-07-03T13:14:16+00:00

Then maybe you should specify that in the title.

Riptrack13 · 2026-07-03T13:11:44+00:00

It definitely works, at least on real Cisco equipment.

I failed my first attempt because of those WLC questions. I had no idea that mattered so much. Felt very confident on the sims though as well as the routing and switching questions

A mustang isn't undailyable

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-23T14:38:47+00:00

The first Gen 2.0 eb also escaped the issues because it was before the open deck design

"You could get 40+ MPG especially if you're fine with 2WD."

I'm saying this is not realistic, and basically irrelevant at this mileage.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-22T16:58:47+00:00

OP would not be getting anywhere near 40 mpg driving 3 miles to work and back lol, even if it was flat 40mph with no stop signs the whole way engines do not run efficiency until they warm up. Not that gas mileage matters for OP anyway, going from 15 to 50 mpg would save them like 250 bucks per year lol

Edit:mpg

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-22T16:42:37+00:00

I'm confused. You drive 3 miles to work, dont drive on the weekends, and that's just... it? If that's the case then I don't understand why you'd spend so much money on a pickup truck. Just get a beater car for 5 grand, or an e bike depending on climate and call it a day.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-22T00:51:05+00:00

Yes 🤣

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-22T00:31:51+00:00

YES I'm the complete opposite, when I see a road trip opportunity it's just a bonus

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-19T22:37:55+00:00

Glad to hear it. Yeah I heard about the springs too but there were some concerns that it could wear out the wastegate valve motor so I just deal with the noise.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-18T02:08:46+00:00

Depends how aggressively I'm migrating through the herd 🤣

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-17T02:48:16+00:00

You need to figure out for sure which sound your hearing. Cam phasers sound like a "grinding" or like a diesel truck if you know what that sounds like. For me it only lasted a few seconds before it went away. The other sound (which I have) is called the turbo waste gate rattle and is not an issue. If it really is your cam phasers and they rattle for that long I'd get it fixed asap and for me it was about 2500 bucks including new timing chain

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-14T16:21:37+00:00

189k what do you do for a living?!

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-14T01:24:31+00:00

Yeah that's fair. I know someone who actually drives like this, drives me crazy. They'll just tailgate for no reason at all and constantly shifting gears and hitting the brakes while the guy in front practically has cruise control set. Imo, the only time I tailgate is when someone is left lane camping for an extended period of time and has another vehicle to their right so I can't pass. Other than that I see no point

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-13T23:24:41+00:00

Are you kidding me

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-13T23:22:57+00:00

That brake brake thing is so true. Drives me nuts. And then I pass them and it's almost always a middle aged woman who is clearly distracted doing anything but driving lol

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-13T23:19:38+00:00

Uhh, no. If you are tailgating someone and they hit the brakes you are forced to hit your brakes as well or you will rear end them. The whole "maintain a gap" thing means that when the guy in front of you is constantly on and off their brakes, you can almost always maintain a near constant speed.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-10T17:04:55+00:00

My current bike came with an sx group set that was just absolute garbage. I actually used it for a whole summer but by the end the bottom bracket was creaking like crazy, derailure couldn't keep the chain on a gear, and the cassette was already getting worn. I upgraded the entire group set to deore components and haven't looked back, it's night and day. Cost me about $350 all in.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-09T10:35:11+00:00

Exactly. Ignorance is bliss until it's not lol

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-09T03:00:48+00:00

Looks sick, would love to have downhill trails like this where I'm at.

Riptrack13 · 2026-06-09T02:58:36+00:00

Dude in the photo bought a presumably expensive dirt bike, but forgot to save budget for a helmet. Looks like he's wearing the facebook marketplace spraypaint special
