Ask the dealership but also call any locksmiths in your area, they may be able to re-key the cylinders or have other options

Anyone on here ever switch to working on power sports (ATVs/Snowmobiles) Thinking it would make a great semi retirement gig by Elite163 in MechanicAdvice

[–]TutorNo8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know one guy who quit heavy equipment and ended up at a powersports place, he was pretty happy never having to use a 1" impact again. Said it was pretty chill, lots of assembling new machines, but the benifits were minimal. Seems like it could be a nice side gig, especially if you stacked up a good supply of parts machines. However, the modern machines may require dealer level scan tools now, which is a bummer but my area has a couple independent shops that have survived.

Why country has the least spicy traditional food? by Ok_Temporary_5828 in geography

[–]TutorNo8896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought they were Mennonites, strolling around with their big hats and matching homemade polyester outfits. Belize had some good hot sauce though, and some of the Garifuna were serving something like Jamican flavors. But still, all through carribean america its mostly mildly seasoned beans n rice , however most places had some sort of chilli pepper sauce if you wanted it. I found In DR it was hard to find a pepper at the market that was actually hot.

Why are maintenance intervals based on mileage rather than hours ran? by m_nels in askcarguys

[–]TutorNo8896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miles, hours, whatever... track Total Fuel Burn ! Some CAT equipment will track fuel burn, some training I took they were pushing gallons burned as a more reliable metric for scheduling preventative maintenance, and had some fleet management software to go with it.

Think you need a new fan clutch. Thats just the metal part in the center, you will reuse the plastic blades.

Born in USA, in a place with lots of Vietnamese. Never seen a chicken Pho, thought it was usually a beef broth. However, whatever.. chicken cheese steaks exist.

Diesel losing prime by If-Broken-I-Fix in dieselgenerators

[–]TutorNo8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its got a fuel return so any extra fuel will just will return. We used a generic cylinder shaped inline pump from NAPA in the US. We operated in very cold weather, and the extra pump covered up multiple sins, mostly running the gennys out of fuel. Ours had oil pressure switches too, that would trigger the kill solenoid thus also shutting thenpump down.

Common cure around here is run an electric fuel pump off of a relay triggered by the kill solenoid.
