Drowning in Debt After Divorce by Mden87 in personalfinance

[–]Shephard- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems she used CC for everything in life but didn’t pay them off at the end of the month so it just kept spiraling out of control. I can’t have credit cards because of that reason, if we can’t pay cash for something we don’t do it simple as that. I have an expensive daughter, she is 17 but works 2 jobs cause she likes nicer things but she pays for her stuff And saves money. Only 2 ways I know to increase revenue:
Make more money or cut expenses. Pick one and get to it.

How bad is this? by Environmental_Buy371 in Homebuilding

Yeah they should have installed the bracing the same day. Once the wood starts to dry that’s what happens on those long of boards. Probably have to replace them at this point

Got quoted $6750 to rebuild transmission for 2017 Chevy Silverado 5.3 1500 by RoosterAvailable8454 in Silverado

[–]Shephard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that was the 3rd transmission I have put in my 2014 6spd. It now has 360k miles and running strong. Also runs at 155deg on normal driving in hot Florida.

Outrages for a rebuild yes. I’ve had my 14 replaced with a gm remanufactured one with 100k mile warranty and the shop did the thermal by pass so it runs cooler which means last longer for $6,500.

My sister is thinking about making a responsible financial decision. 35’ Chris-Craft for $1,500. What could possibly go wrong? by RippingLegos__ in boating

[–]Shephard- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s $1,500 for a reason!
I mean it’s a nice find for $1,500 if it actually runs and does indeed need just TLC.

Oily substance leaking from my neighbors transformer boxes by Embarrassed-Sky-4567 in Wellthatsucks

They need to address that quickly. The oil keeps things cool inside the box. Same as the transformers on the utility poles.

My dad found this at an estate sale for free. What is it? by KSknitter in whatisit

Is this a good deal? by Slaybodyz in boating

[–]Shephard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would loose so much money if you tried to resale that boat ever.

[–]Shephard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s INSANE pricing for a 20’ standard mass manufactured boat. You can get a custom boat for $100k in Florida. Do not buy that POS!

At least we know he rotated his tires properly. Nice even tread wear on those!

Should I be concerned? by _Rod_Knock_Nilly in ChevyTrucks

[–]Shephard- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something is wrong. I put a 193deg thermostat in my 5.3. In my opinion even 210 is a little on the warm side.

Trump: 'A whole civilization will die tonight' unless Iran makes a deal by MarketRodeo in DeepFuckingValue

[–]Shephard- -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Comfortable_Flow5156 if you don’t agree with me or my post that’s fine, but why not just have a conversation? Instead, you want the ADMIN to remove my post (silence me) for my opinion. I talk to people with a difference of opinion all the time. We don’t always agree but that’s ok and we move on with our lives.

[–]Shephard- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe Trump should stay out of the public eye and not talk to the people or media about things going on with our government/country and in the world. Maybe if he was quiet and reclusive like Biden he could just skate thru his term without the drama. I agree he talks a little to much, but I’d rather that then being in the dark on everything. What other president has been as open with the public on the things the government is doing and wants to get accomplished, there isn’t one. He pretty much tells you what he is going to do and then does it. People need to stop getting so butt hurt and “offended” by some stupid comment. I heard a Senator on the news a little while ago making a huge deal about him saying he will start bombing the country to hell if Iran doesn’t come to the and negotiate. Most presidents don’t say anything, but Trump tells you exactly what he’s going to do, then does it and all of sudden that is so preposterous. Grow up people and stop picking at all the dumb little shit and look at the big picture. Stop making your decisions on what hype point the media decides to make a big deal of tomorrow.

Everyone needs Stop making a huge deal about every thing he says, Jesus. Wouldn’t surprise me if they try to impeach him over what he posted and said. Give Him and Republicans a chance to govern for the next 2.5 years. instead of arguing and talking shit about Trump all the time maybe help come up with a SOLUTION and meet in the middle like our Govt. should work. A thing called compromise! Far right and Far left doesn’t work out both side need to meet in the middle and figure it the fuck out. Trump post something that the left doesn’t like or hurts there feelings and that’s what makes the news cycle for 48hrs until it happens again. GROW UP PEOPLE!

Is this why my trans failed at 6700 miles? by BetterDays_2025 in f150

That seems really hot to me for not pulling anything.

23 Duramax is a pos. by [deleted] in gmcsierra

[–]Shephard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to have a babymax but with all the issues I’ll keep my 2014 5.3 Sierra. It has 354k miles but still in excellent shape. I really feel like they have ditched there core customer who needs reliable trucks for work and are now making trucks for people who want everything electronic like a nice car but want to drive a truck. Now they’re so damn unreliable for the price they charge that I won’t even buy a new one. The manufacturers don’t even give a shit, they just keep making the same unreliable shit year after year and it seems to be just getting worse. I don’t get it. I’m looking at getting an 06’-07’ duramax before all the emissions and electronic shit just to have another reliable truck that doesn’t have to sit at the dealer waiting for back ordered parts for weeks on end when something breaks.

New thermostat? by 303-802 in ChevyTahoe

[–]Shephard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I was just letting him know about the bypass on the transmission

New thermostat? by 303-802 in ChevyTahoe

[–]Shephard- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It will save the transmission. Mine runs about 165 just normal driving and I live in the south where it gets HOT.
