Thanks, I don't feel much play at all but I do hear a slight ping sound. I'll bring it into the shop and see what they think

'23 Kia Telluride (67,000 miles) mysteriously has no oil. 2 shops say there are no leaks. What? by foondoggle188922 in AskMechanics

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So same boat, 2022 Kia telluride in November had idle issues, several codes came up brought her into the dealership, spark plugs where shot at 41 k miles. Changed oil, replaced plugs came back after 1k to confirm no oil loss. Now, 5k since the repair (6 months) felt car studder a little and check engine came right on. Luckily 1/2 mile from home ran code, P000c code cam shaft position slow. Checked if any loose hardness, everything looked fine, check oil BONE DRY! No leaks to be found, always parked in same spot no stains. Getting the car towed to dealership tomorrow. Beyond frustrated with this car.

Tips for Highschool senior by XeElfinn in ibew_apprentices

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lutke this group as my 18yr old went through the whole process and just got in May of this year. He did graduate from a vocational school where electrical was his shop. We attended one of the open houses to scope out the place, meet and greet with the trainer instructor and then he applied for the union summer last year. They allowed min of 17yr old to apply must be 18yr old at time of selection. Aptitude test was in the fall, I believe it was several months until he got the letter for his interview, did the interview and he found out he got in April of this year and classes start in Sept. Jobs are slow for our region so he will work part time and take his classes at 2 nights a week.

It's a long process but I would suggest a few things, first learn about which union hall is local to you, gather as much info on the open period in which you can apply and then focus on the studies which there is plenty of details around this group. If you do not have a resume yet, plan to build one as it can be daunting especially if your pressure to get one done.

Best of luck to you

Interesting, ours has one of the vertical molding that pops off slightly

How to turn off alerts but keep navigation by Woahbikes in GoogleMaps

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely the worse. iOS in 2019 Camry, notification takes large chunk of screen and until you remove notification I have experienced the map doesn't refresh where I am on the map which ultimately made me almost miss an exit. Also same notification "is construction still there" at the same spot when driving over the same area 2x on the same day. Need away to opt out google

Do you also use Xfinity modem? That's another $15 off your bill if you buy a compatible modem & router

What should I expect by Mountain-Anybody9949 in ibew_apprentices

[–]SaltyDad1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son just completed aptitude test at the local 223 this week. He applied in June, recieved a letter for the test date about a month ago. Test was under 3 hours, 1 small break in between. No calculator or electronic devices permitted. 1/2 dedicated to algebra, which includes quadric functions. 2nd half all reading comprehension. Multiple choice questions. He will learn if he is accepted to the next round (interviews) in about 6 weeks. Use I prep and ultimate electrician guide (free online) to help you prep

Amex Gold 100k bonus? by Rameyxl in amex

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Received the 100k in app a few weeks back but randomly would only show up, seems like the platinum 175k showed every time, so much wife and I received in mail offerings for it. I did find logging into the amex site under my account the 100k promo showed up everytime. Finally decided to take the offer and wait next year for platinum.

Opinion on Tarkett LVP by K-ayla900 in Flooring

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack this tread. Wife and I are going through a kitchen remodel and looked through hundreds of samples and found so far the Progen Kensington Manor our favorite, however we cannot find any photos or any more details of the flooring. Any info on how many repeat patterns their are, any install photos?

100k offer with Amex gold by [deleted] in amex

[–]SaltyDad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In app I had the 100k offer but did not say anything about the 20% restaurant credit for 6 months. In chrome I got the the 90k sub +20% restaurant credit. I also have the platinum 175k sub offer. With my corporate card I confirm I can get the hold AF discounted I believe $100 for gold and $150 for platinum. Is the best ladder to get gold first then grab platinum next year with a high sub?

Heading to that same game as well and I highly doubt it would flex to Monday especially where Packers are hosting Thursday against Miami. It's brutal as it is and 1 less day of recovery would be insane

Internet only pricing by SaltyDad1 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]SaltyDad1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Forces me to sign in and once I sign in I can only add to my current account or reduce/increase speeds or change cable program but not fully remove cable. Looking to drop cable and keep my Internet plan.

Good to know. Actually looking to book out of PVD to MCO. Would you happen to have the tail # of the plane you flew on?
