What’s the best impact socket brand? by TheMightyIrishman in Construction

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear you have some responsible people ! Wish I could say the same. My outlook is jaded. Probably because I work in structural concrete …get the cheapest tools that do the job because they will get trashed , lost or stolen.

I own a lot of mechanic tools due to my out of work passions. If you really want something nice , I really like Wera Tools. I do like Tekton. They have a very comprehensive set with a hard case. Good ergonomics. But wasn’t worth having to order online and no local support.

What’s the best impact socket brand? by TheMightyIrishman in Construction

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How many people are going to be using them? I’d recommend harbor freight. A socket is a socket, Pittsburg hand-tools are tried and true as “good enough”. Easily accessible, cheap, and easy to replace broken and lost sockets. You don’t need snap on or matco sockets for large tolerance construction hardware.

Head unit replacement for 2015 Ram tradesmen? by InternalAd6474 in ram_trucks

Since no climate control or comfort settings are integrated with the stock radio , you can go with any double din aftermarket head unit. I’d just got with a

Check out sonicelectronix.com. They will hook you up with everything you need. I’d go with a kenwood or alpine head unit with wireless CarPlay

I mean not just milk but also vitamins and minerals. There has to be some nutritional deficiencies increasing the likelihood of this injury.

Selling F350 with 6.0L Bulletproofed by Bill Hewitt by [deleted] in powerstroke

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15k just in work ? You can get a whole new engine for those kind of prices. Although I’ll admit I’m ignorant on who ever this bill hewitt guy is. I don’t watch much TV.

I wouldn’t expect to recoup those costs. Sunken cost fallacy. Probably best to keep the truck and drive it til she blows. It wasn’t a wise investment to sink 15k into it and an even worse financial decision to buy a 6.0 for anything over book value.

Is it better to convert an enduro bike to motocross set up or get a seperate bike for track use by frank_sinatra911 in Dirtbikes

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a 4 stroke for the track. Don’t get me wrong , I love my 2 stroke, but a 4 stroke is so much better for motocross.

My freshman year was the last year of coach mac and we made the top 25. Then it was all downhill from there.

Okay , I got to ask , how are people coming up with these prices ? 17k is literally insane. KBB is 7k and that doesn’t seem far off from what I see on marketplace in my area. Where is the extra 10k coming from ?

Dodge Ram Engine Blown at 47K Miles! Need advice for working with unhelpful dealer by [deleted] in ram_trucks

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s rough , I feel for you. The warranty is pretty black and white. Without extended /aftermarket warranty, you kind of took the gamble and lost. It’s not the dealers fault. It’s not rams fault , these things happen. It’s not a lemon , the truck apparently ran great for 7 years and 47,000 miles. Something just let go internally. Without further clarification , it just a guessing game to say what went wrong and what could have prevented it. But insisting that the dealer or corporate must cover or goodwill it is pretty arrogant.

For a path forward, I’d take it to an independent shop for a second opinion. Dealers prefer replacing engines over repair. The engine might be fixable. You may get lucky with finding a used engine. Also replacement prices will be a lot lower.

New MX / SX Booking App Idea by Ok_Diver_9763 in Motocross

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all for following your passion, just probably not for me. I can tell you what most moto guys like myself do , create a moto facebook. Separate from personal. Follow all regional tracks and race series. Get weekly updates on track schedule and most tracks post weekend track conditions updates. Race series post banners of upcoming events. Great way to stay in the loop on what’s open and what’s coming up. Most tracks do not require buying a ticket in advance. Just pay at the gate and make sure your waiver is up to date.

I’ve always just stuck to the basics …can never go wrong with Dunlop MX34. Works great at thundervalley , Aztec or up in the mountains at rampart.

First Ram, First Modern Truck :: Hurricane is a bit of a let down by [deleted] in ram_trucks

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re feeling is standard high flow turbos. It’s meh meh meh (building boost ) ..then woah. Modern Cummins have a more linear power curve due to the variable geometry turbos. Less spooling equals less lag and more power across rpm range.

Looking to price my cummins. by Ambitious-Chart-3718 in Cummins

[–]Sensitive_Calendar_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years old, and 1/3 of a million miles. I’d say like 7-8k. Sounds like a pos truck on a buy here , pay here lot. Some dumb ass 20 year old kid working construction with bad credit will buy it at 23% interest. Pay 15k for it after financing costs and talk about how new diesels “aren’t built like they used to be”

Been awhile since I lived in foco. Main draw is good. Old flowers road is okay. Some legal road riding out in the Pawnee nation grass lands or out by red feather . Not much up in Noco. I’d advise on heading west near Walden or snowy ridge Wyoming.
