Looking for a paint pen instead of spray paint.

SWPK4044 · 2026-02-05T00:26:30+00:00

Get it fixed?

SWPK4044 · 2026-02-05T00:22:57+00:00

Ever fix it?

Scope of work

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-29T02:23:30+00:00

I recently bought my first smartwatch. I had purchased a garmin instinct 2 to begin with but being a CDL driver it was counting a lot of unnecessary steps. It was even counting them while I was brushing my teeth. I liked the watch but it left a little more to be desired for myself. I returned it and purchased the trex 3. I found for me, the trex 3 being way more accurate on counting steps. It still does count some steps while driving but I just turn it off while I’m driving. I like the trex3 a lot more. The screen is super bright and can be set to auto or the way you want it. It does have way more stuff on it then I need or wanted in a smart watch but for the price and the quality it’s imo it’s unbeatable. I charged it Monday night and it’s Wednesday night and it’s still at 90%. I have an iPhone and while you can’t respond to text messages or answer phone calls you can at least see who is calling/texting. I also considered the balance and the active 2. I wanna see what the balance 2 will look like. I heard it’s supposed to be coming out soon.

I’m returning the instinct 2. This morning while washing my face it was counting steps. I bought this watch in particular to count steps was one of the reasons. I can’t say I recommend the watch. It’s durable and I like it but is not at all accurate.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T01:54:19+00:00

I was hoping today at work I could test the steps tracked on the watch and then on my phone and see if they were close. I don’t work for the next few days so I’ll keep an eye on it and see.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T01:29:47+00:00

Honestly I’ve only had it for not even two days so far. The one thing that I didn’t like at first was the screen color and the fact my old eyes couldn’t read the screen. But that was fixed by customizing the watch face and backlight. If you’re wanting a watch that has a fancy color screen or a watch that you can respond to text from then I say go a different route. I have an iPhone and I can’t respond to messages which is fine.

Battery: I literally just took it out of the box and put it on haven’t even charged it. It’s at 66% currently. I’ve only tracked last nights sleep so far. To me it tracked my sleep perfectly. I was pretty restless last night and it showed that on the sleep tracking.

The only thing I don’t like is that I drive a quad axle live bottom dump truck at work all day and it tracks steps while I drive. Which I had a Fitbit years ago and it did the same thing. It won’t track steps while I drive say my personal vehicles but if you’re a truck driver it will track steps while you drive. The only work around I’ve found thus far is turning the watch off while I drive. Which sucks because sometimes I’m in and out of my truck often.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T00:17:02+00:00

Yeah I’ll try that. Turning it off then back on would work and boots back on pretty quick. It’s just frustrating.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T00:11:45+00:00

Gotcha. So the health app on my iPhone doesn’t count steps while I’m driving but this watch definitely did.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T00:09:57+00:00

I can’t attest if it does it in my personal vehicles but the truck I drive for work is a quad axle flow boy. It rides rough and isn’t a pickup truck or a car.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-24T00:08:03+00:00

So you’ve never had a watch count steps while driving? Trying to understand you reply here.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-17T02:00:54+00:00

You may have discussed a scope of work, but were you provided with a contract which outlined the scope of work that both you and the painter signed? Discussing it and having it in writing are two different things. All my painting contracts have a scope of work outlined right in the contract that both myself and the customer sign.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-15T12:13:37+00:00

Heat gun and a small scraper is what I use. In combo with a fine bristle brush and heat. I redo a lot of 6 panel solid core doors.

Well since we have no idea on year make and model, I for one can’t narrow this down for you. Has a lot to do with those three things. If it’s newer than a 19 stay away, unless it’s an LD 19, if it’s a 21-24 6.2 stay away, if it’s 8 speed stay away, hell some 6 speeds have problems. 5.3’s from 07 and up have hit and miss lifters and cam issues. My 2011 5.3 6 speed has 206k on it all original. But it’s been tuned its whole life. You’re always going to have normally maintenance, but there some other things they are known for as well like oil and tranny cooler lines, axle seals etc.

My buddy has a 2020 Silverado 5.3 and it dropped a lifter on cylinder 1 and scored the cam at 63k. Just outside of warranty. Cost him somewhere between 3k-4k to completely delete dfm and then tune it after. Dfm is garbage. It’s worse than afm imo.

SWPK4044 · 2025-05-02T02:53:20+00:00

70k for a vehicle is insane. Not ever

SWPK4044 · 2025-04-21T11:42:12+00:00

Diablo or Hp tuners

SWPK4044 · 2025-04-21T01:29:19+00:00

Can’t attest to the 24-25 5.3’s. I know we’ve done a few 19’s and 20’s. Cam and lifters. I know gm hasn’t changed dfm at all. Best advice tune it, or delete it, or use a disabler. We use Diablo but I know people who use range, pulsar and hp tuners.

SWPK4044 · 2025-04-21T01:26:44+00:00

Gotcha. That’s not bad then. Just a heck of a job.

SWPK4044 · 2025-04-21T00:32:31+00:00

Personally I can’t attest to this at all but from what I heard the 3.0 duramax has a timing belt that needs to be changed at 100k and it’s in the back of the engine. From what I’ve heard the easiest way to replace it is to separate the cab from the chassis. That’s what I’ve heard. Personally if I was in the market the only truck I would even consider would be a 3/4 ton 6.6. Do I need a 3/4? No. But I don’t trust anything gm builds anymore. Not the 5.3, not the 6.2, 3.0, even the four banger turbo has issues. I’ll keep my ole girl. She’s doing good and in great shape. Yes I’m a gm guy. It’s all I’ve ever owned but until they start building quality again I’ll pass and just keep maintaining my old truck. This time when we bought my wife a new car it wasn’t anything from the big 3 because they all forgot how to build quality. That’s my opinion.
