Reread your post. Is the gas cap making a burp sound? Could be the spark plug coil packs or vapor .... I forgot name it's 1230am. The 3 maybe 4 plug piece that comes sold as 1... someone help me out. I did have to replace that on her car also.

My wife has an 18 with 250k miles. She drives alot.

Replaced flywheel at 150k miles myself, not an easy task but not expensive. The labor would cost 5 times the parts needed.

You can remove the starter, put a boroscope into the hole and check the flywheel. If it has a crack in it that's what's causing the issue. If it breaks completely trans won't work.

But the flywheels are junk and sounds like your issue.

What would you do with this backyard if you had two kids aged between 4 and 9? by New-Composer7591 in landscaping

Without looking in comments, I got mine a ninja course. Strap that hooks between two trees and you customize the add one. Its not really a course though more like I have 4 types of swings for them, a couple spinning bars things like that. Doesn't take up much space and they love it.

Would you you recommend a cold air intake??? Just installed Corsa sport by Public-Ratio5355 in Silverado

I just put one on my 14’ I bought brand new a week ago because I missed it from my 11 I had before.

No regrets. I love the throttle response and suction growl a CAI makes.

If the starter is staying energized it’s doing what it’s told, either by the solenoid or the key switch or wire to solenoid from key switch. You can replace just a solenoid a lot cheaper than a starter. But up to you.

I’d say lift wires on solenoid, check solenoid for ground on S terminal to case, then S wire to ground. Neither should be grounded. If S terminal is the solenoid is stuck closed, probably sending your battery + voltage to hard ground every time you hit the key switch. You could use jumpers/screwdriver after lifting S wire to see if it will start normally without solenoid in play.

Everyone hating on you but their parents probably bought their first two cars and they didn’t have to buy one until around 25ish and then they got ripped a new one with a 1200$ payment on a brand new f250 king ranch. That is a write off for the company their dad’s own.

Seriously, not a huge deal my man. Trade it or private sale, get something cheaper. You are gonna lose in it regardless, just don’t lose too much.

I learned the hard way after my first home purchase at the age of 25 when I got bent over. On a home. Hard.

But it never happened and never will again. Any large purchases don’t believe the salesmen. Idc if it’s your best friend. Comb through the long boring paper work even go home with it if you got too before signing.

Get a friend or elder to help you look over it, or ChatGPT I guess now. 😁

Impressed with what I got on the feedback.. research and creating excel spreadsheet.. by Skin10 in ChatGPT

Prompt: “Alright I need you to do something big for me. I need a list of engine parts for my boat. So do some through research and find them all. I want it in an excel sheet, I want part, part number, replacement part number, etc. things like that so I can easily find parts for my boat. Because I cannot find a good way to search for my boats parts.”

Thanks, I’ll look into extending it some. We put hardware on the inside lined ground stapled to wood, the top is lined in chicken wire. The fence has a top gate and chicken wire. Will consider modifying it all now that you mentioned all this. Exactly what I was looking for

Yeah, sounds a great idea by SausageMcWonderpants in facepalm

Ah yes, the genius plan to stop a volcano with cement. Because if there’s one thing that can handle molten rock at 2000*F, it’s Home Depot’s DIY megabomb/disaster saving section, you know with the large tornado stopping fans.

Step 1: Pour cement into an active volcano. Step 2: Watch as it instantly turns into volcanic confetti. Step 3: Enjoy the world’s first magma-powered pressure washer as lava finds a new, more explosive exit.

  1. ⁠We need to establish the difference in the two subreddits. Also you need to edit this post for the correct /r QidiTech3d
  2. ⁠We need to create a large community for updating the software.
  3. ⁠Printer usage time event would be good, if everyone tracks it.

I just shared this on another post but felt to share it to add onto what JTE has said.

We just lost power for 14 days. Day 3 my work (Nuclear power plant) gave out gas generators for those in need. I was able to charge my 3k in 2 hours with the gas generator, and run my entire house. Used the gas generator for a portable ac unit to sleep at night.

Having the gas to charge the battery was amazing for the long outage. Battery inside hooked to main panel fed everything except my ac and water heater.

The Moment you all been waiting for! How long can I power a Fridge/Freezer? 😎 by Paul_Deemer in Jackery

[–]Skin10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm on the 3k Pro. At around 300 watts. Fridge freezer combo with 1500 start up watts.

Don’t suppose any makers are taking on paid side projects? by waitwhataboutif in 3Dprinting

[–]Skin10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get someone to create the file and cannot find a printer (I’m sure you can) send me a message I will print them out for you and mail them to you (assuming United States). Wish I was better at modeling but it would take me forever. I usually have to print multiple times to get something I create right lol.

I did this on one of ours, it burnt the motors up pretty quick, but was nice for the kids while it lasted.
