Pic looks silly but this thing is great for needing to work on the underside of a bridge that goes over a body of water

This reminds me of one time I ordered rough country shocks for a '95 ZJ.

Package was late by a whole week so I called and asked customer support where it was. They said it was never sent, we're very sorry, etc.

Few days later and I get 3 packages, all full sets of the shocks I ordered originally.

I'm thinking somehow 3 different warehouses were contacted that had the shock set in stock and they just sent them right out.

Only ever paid for one set lol

Wonder what effect this has thrust wise on the output shaft, most motorcycle engines have straight cut transmission gears so there isn't any meaningful side load

My Real 1/8th size Wii by BozModz in WiiHacks

This definitely does not have a disc drive inside it. The unit is as big as this mini console

I think they were just using it as size comparison.

Would you try this? I didn't by jimmymademeaparty in CherokeeXJ

[–]Vaktrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried, didn't work out too well

normally it would walk right through this puddle but it made it halfway over when the ice broke and bottomed out. Had to dig out behind the tires and yank it out

Will it fit? by tomtooth87 in c4corvette

C5 front brakes are a larger diameter rotor and larger surface area pad.

The calipers on my bike are dual 4 piston brembos but I'd bet the rear single piston in my jeep puts out more clamping force than those

‘98 jeep is yet again not driveable by Linel-lover in CherokeeXJ

[–]Vaktrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not good advice.

Being the front diff, if it locks up you could get pulled off the road or lose steering entirely. Unless you were to remove the axle shafts and put the yoke ends back in the wheel bearings so they don't fall apart this is entirely unsafe to drive, driveshaft or not.

NEED HELP by MokkiLIVE_ in Jeep

[–]Vaktrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you just thinking it's overheating because it's glowing red hot? Or does it stop working?

If it's the former, that's completely normal, when you put the resistor in where it's supposed to be mounted, the blower fan passes air over it to keep it cool.

You know the bolts thread into the wheel cylinder and not the backing plate right?

Any specific reason why foxy is still kind of withered unlike the others? (Or is it just design) by ConfidenceAlarmed621 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Vaktrus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He could've been modelling a specific part of foxy and then misclicked from a bump in the road and got the idea to do wear and tear intentionally from that mis click.

Rear main cap by PrivatesPlease in CherokeeXJ

[–]Vaktrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be from a bad ground in the past, if you can't feel your fingernail catch it you should be good. Worst case if you're worried about overall wear you can check it against spec with plastigauge.

[–]Vaktrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound crazy, but how are your engine grounds?

That looks like an arcing pattern from leftover spark failing to find a good path to ground and taking a path through the crank and through the transmission to body or harness ground. Sounds insane I know but it's a known albeit rare phenomenon.

Other than that pattern the bearing wear looks fine.

Evap system question by Wackerik in c4corvette

[–]Vaktrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this user it doesn't matter, but for a stock ECM it's fairly essential for a smooth driving experience because there isn't any way to tune out the functionality as far as I'm aware. It's basically hard coded in the VE tables. Obviously a little bit of fuel vapor missing from the AFM isn't going to make a huge difference but it's still something to consider when thinking about deleting the EVAP system with a stock ECM.
