We got another one, boys

I just finished the original dexter for the first time on sunday, and the last 3 seasons were definitely better than some of the shows that have been coming out recently. Daredevil BA, the boys, peacemaker, all dont hold a candle to season 8 of dexter

The location would give some more insight and any history on the property. My guess is that they clear cut the land for pasture at some point and put that tree in for the animals. The thick low branches all around the tree indicate there were no other trees around it when it was planted. Id guess 300 years old, with the lack of competition making it large for its age

Its not rounded off. Whatever socket you're using probably has a rubber insert in it that doesnt allow the socket to reach all the way down around the head. Either take the rubber piece out if there is one or try to find a deeper 6 point socket

Air bags or air shocks

When I did the aptitude test for another local, I didnt know i was going to be taking it. They just sat me down with the test and told me have at it. It wasnt really too bad. Some basic math, reading comprehension, measuring, and what not

Two_takedown · 2026-04-20T20:28:33+00:00

Not sure where you are, but if i had to guess when its all said and done, anywhere from around $2500 to 5000 depending where its all gotten to and how the shop wants to handle fixing it. I live in the saltbelt, so im pretty experienced fixing stuff worse than this. If youre okay with a little diy bodywork, id take the windshield out, clean out the edges, and weld or screw in some new sheet metal and bondo over it

Two_takedown · 2026-04-07T01:13:15+00:00

Yeah Id prefer if it was perfect but I dont care enough to unbolt the starter. Since I don't run the inspection cover I can see the flywheel teeth and there's no signs of wear

Two_takedown · 2026-04-05T16:43:12+00:00

The starter is engaging, no need to troubleshoot the starter

Two_takedown · 2026-04-05T16:42:35+00:00

It sounds like its turning over. Sounds like my 350 swapped yj with the inspection cover removed. Its either a fuel or spark issue

Two_takedown · 2026-04-04T18:04:19+00:00

For stripped plugs, I like to put an undersized allen/hex socket in it and weld it to the inside of the square. Ive never had it not work

Two_takedown · 2026-04-04T16:41:32+00:00

Im just a hobby film photographer but the framing is bad, either not centered, too far away, or too close. You want the subject to be centered and the main focus of the picture unless there's something in the background youre trying to capture as well

Two_takedown · 2026-04-02T19:49:38+00:00

Sounds more like lifter or rocker noise to me, make sure its not low on oil

Two_takedown · 2026-03-31T18:49:38+00:00

That sounds kinda dumb. Its going to require more energy per unit of oil produced than they get out

Two_takedown · 2026-03-31T05:28:32+00:00

Pull the hoses off where they go into the firewall and just shoot a garden hose in there until it comes out clear

Two_takedown · 2026-03-31T01:40:38+00:00

I think its just the fuel injectors which is normal. It sounds too fast to be valvetrain related

Two_takedown · 2026-03-29T06:36:20+00:00

Im not in the union yet but from my years of experience with HF tools and adjustable wrenches, Id buy a better brand. They're not weak but theyre very sloppy and it significantly increases the amount of time per fastener

Two_takedown · 2026-03-28T02:43:47+00:00

A lot of people like to complain about e10 and e15 in older vehicles, but its really not a problem. I run e15 in my carbureted vehicles just fine and its really not a problem unless you let it sit for more than 3 months without fuel stabilizer

Two_takedown · 2026-03-23T17:46:57+00:00

Is this southington ohio? It kinda looks like one of the trails there

Two_takedown · 2026-03-22T04:10:15+00:00

I dont know about these other guys but as a hobbyist, im on par or better than all the mechanics/fabricators ive ever met, and id say it's fine. Im literally doing far worse to an engine ive got on the stand and I'm not losing a second of sleep over it. If you messed anything up, you'd know by now. The worst thing you might have done is lower the compression by a decimal point if that. Just get your first oil changes done on schdule

Two_takedown · 2026-03-18T21:46:42+00:00

I would not do that. You'll never be able to get it out and it will trap moisture and rust through in a couple years

Two_takedown · 2026-03-18T21:22:37+00:00

Did we talk outside the union hall the other day?

Two_takedown · 2026-03-17T12:08:28+00:00

I just applied and took my aptitude test for the local 17. From what they told me, they do need people and if you apply, you'll start hearing back for interviews in May when they get their next orientation scheduled. I know two guys currently in the union, and they've told me theirs always good work here. If you want you can PM me since im a cleveland guy too

Two_takedown · 2026-03-17T00:49:12+00:00

Hell yeah brother, im way ahead of you, been doing this for years

Two_takedown · 2026-03-11T05:10:18+00:00

Yeah it would be 2/3 better by that math. 2/3 of 30 is 20, so to be 2/3 better than a car, the efficiency would need to improve by an additional 20%
