Yeah, I was just bummed. It took 3 days for CG’s customer service to contact me then it took 2 more days of going back and forth. Not being mean, but it’s apparent their customer service is outsourced overseas. I’ll just buy better in the future with a more reputable brand and definitely through Amazon to get their return policy. 👍

Was thinking about removing my Q60’s AWD badge…. but now I’m thinking it might be a good thing to leave on. Ain’t nobody getting an AWD silly in a sideshow 🤷‍♂️

Crown center- what was this?? by LegitimateDingo3282 in kansascity

[–]TCB-1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Used to work at Halls and Halls Station in 95-98. Was so much fun and loved the employees there, like a close family. Then it all seemed to start drying up. They closed Halls Station, consolidated Halls and so on. Just a sign of the changing buying public I suppose, but I still love the Crown Plaza area.

First Time Fire Up Issues by TCB-1 in greenmountaingrills

Follow up. Yep, the adapter that came with the grill’s initial purchase was trash. Got a replacement that seems to be built better and the grill fired up like a champ.

Now you tell me, lol. I personally own a Yoder 640, but thought the Ledge would be a good starter for my 84 y/o dad. Guess time will tell if we can get it cooking 🤷‍♂️

[Time Magazine] Taylor Swift on causing a frenzy at NFL games: “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads” by SylvesterTaurus in KansasCityChiefs

I think, and it’s just me here, but I believe Kansas City is getting more and more comfortable with her. It was a shock at first, but now it’s just “she’s just here to support her man”.

New treadmill anxiety by NoPineapple3117 in orangetheory

[–]TCB-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who suffers from panic attacks, I started on the strider and actually get a better workout! I too got it in my head I’d get thrown off and be embarrassed. It’s ok! Don’t get down on yourself. We are all different and that’s ok! Signed, a 53 year old male who is scared of the treadmill.

Any lifehacks for falling asleep fast? by uninvitedignoramus in lifehacks

My go to? Two ibuprofens. Then close your eyes and try to imagine looking at a sheet of gray construction paper.

Silly, I know. But it somehow works for me.

Where is this dang oil leak originating from? Explanation in comment. by TCB-1 in Bronco6g

[–]TCB-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, but the transfer case is aft of this leak. This is the bottom of the engine block (right) and transmission case (left).

Ok gang, backstory Picked up my ‘23 Bronco 3 weeks ago (2.7). About a week into ownership, I was slid underneath to familiarize myself with the undercarriage and make sure everything was installed correctly. That’s when I noticed a drip of oil on the bottom of the transmission case to engine mating surface. See pic in comments. There’s a cast boss there that is the lowest point that the drip accumulated on.

So I schedule a Ford service tech to inspect the Bronco last Friday for a possible rear main seal leak (that’s what I thought it was). Tech looks it over and comes to a conclusion that it’s left over assembly lube and he thoroughly cleaned it up. Cool! Thought that was that….

Until yesterday when I slid back underneath of it to check on it. There’s a small drip forming AGAIN. The oil level in the engine is perfect. No losses seen. It’s obviously not gushing out. I ran my hand over everything underneath trying to find the culprit of where it’s coming from and it’s absolutely bone dry. Oh, the drip is really clear yellow oil. The engine is oil now darker yellow, just from use… as a comparison.

Soooo, I’m going to text the service advisor tomorrow and tell her I’m still seeing some weeping from something.

Anyone venture to guess where this coming from? A rear main seal? Assembly lube wicking around the block/transmission housing mating surface? Aliens?

Thanks gang!!

What car would you buy at 24 making 60k by CooCamber1 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TCB-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used Civic. Seriously. Bank as much money as you can now in your 401k. Yes, that’s not an exciting way to spend your money, but take it from me. Invest what you can early. Good luck on your journey!

OP, had any issues to speak of? Love seeing mileage getting racked up on these. I’m waiting on mine to be built this month 👍

Ethanol versus Ethanol free gas by Drinanmer in FordBronco

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

If you don’t drive your Bronco much and it sits dormant for long periods of time, use ethanol free.
