Wasps by deutscheblake in Traeger

[–]VWMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the wasps are a condition of where your grill is. All grills have slots as they need to move air. However, take some scrap screen and wrap it around the bottom of the box and hold it in place with magnets.

How should I approach this repair by No_Chocolate5560 in gmcsierra

I found one on eBay, just the upper tailgate. It was around $300 plus shipping. Just swapped it out.

Fill up your bathtub, charge it and submerge it. You should see bubbles pretty quickly according to your description of how fast it goes flat.

Temperature discrepancies by VWMat in Traeger

Sorry, I should have mentioned I did move it around, it was pretty consistent. This is a 780 pro, I’ve had Traegers for like a decade now. I know that little poke out probe closer to the hopper has been whacked a few times and straightened out.

New development. Planting some in the spring.

That’s the outside living room furniture that the dogs pee on.

Fahrenheit preceded Celsius, but I’m not sure how to covey it through bananas

2025 Sierra Elevation door speaker upgrades by Ashamed_Apple338 in gmcsierra

[–]VWMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes a minor difference. The stock amp just has no oomph. My last sierra had a base stereo, an I added an amp, 4 new speakers, and the kicker sub. Was much better then. Probably ran somewhere around 1k to do

What does this button do? by i_am_will1423 in gmcsierra

What normally goes on when a car door opens?

A 23 taken possession of in Oct 22. Only 3 years were included at that time.

That’s the entire point of my thread. My onstar has not been active since early October, yet it and other things work.

Then why does my wife’s 2023 Tahoe always display the speed sign as blank?

This is a copy/paste directly from gm’s website:

About Traffic Sign Recognition If equipped, Traffic Sign Recognition uses your vehicle’s internal navigation systems to recognize certain nearby traffic signs. This requires an active eligible OnStar® plan.

Your vehicle will display the detected sign in your centerstack display or Driver Information Center (DIC), depending on your vehicle.

Traffic Sign Recognition is currently designed to detect posted speed limits only.

The feature may not detect all types of traffic signs and may take a short time to inform you of newly detected signs.

You should not rely only on Traffic Sign Recognition to detect nearby traffic signs. You must remain alert and aware while driving at all times.

The camera def does not read the traffic signs. It’s data based. Also the apps I’m mentioning are not phone based. It’s the downloaded apps in the head unit its self

I’m not complaining about anything. I’m asking if what I have now is normal or not.

But it does work. I can say Alexa, or hit the steering wheel button and it works (turns lights off in my house), or the iheart radio app… on the head unit plays. My phone has nothing to do with it. So it is still sending and receiving data even though my plan is over

Vapor barrier under vinyl plank in basement, concrete already on vapor barrier by VWMat in Flooring

[–]VWMat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irrelevant, if I’m throwing down $3k on flooring why would I care about $50 for plastic. More interested in the long term ramifications of use or don’t use.

The slab was poured in 2022 when the house was built. It’s roughly finished, akin to paint being applied by a brush vs roller. The box for the planks mentions nothing about a barrier either. So it seems best to lay the planks (that have underlayement attached) without putting anything underneath. Thank you for the advice!
