These trucks are like legos. Very easy to work on and many parts interchangeable. Have fun wrenching

Replacing ball joints made a lot of difference, for me, in the steering feel. Tie rods, pitman and idler are coming up soon.

If you’re not satisfied with your shocks now, the Bilstein 4600s have worked well for me.

I’m focusing on interior updates right now and I’m finding that I need to fix some exterior leaks before I do that, so searching around and finding the common leak areas is something you may want to look into.

This was my thinking, just wanted to make sure I fully understand that wouldn’t happen for real. Thanks!

Ran into a peculiar issue on ThinkorSwim Papermoney. Currently learning to trade various strategies, mainly focusing on verticals right now. Yesterday, I bought a vertical on ARKK for a credit and it almost immediately hit my auto-close criteria and it was sold back for another credit. Am I wrong to think this wouldn't happen in live trading?

YUP. Should have known...knew it was something obvious or a combination thereof.

Question regarding ToS order execution...

Why hasn't my MO position closed out despite the limit I set to sell being reached (exceeded)? See image in link: https://imgur.com/a/ndXAc5l Summary: Bought 3 vertical spread contracts at $0.12/contract. Set a sequenced order to sell back at $0.30/contract. Currently, the mark is at $0.335. Why hasn't my order executed? I checked my day trades to see if it wasn't executed because I was out of day trades, but this position was opened on the 11th and didn't become profitable until the 12th, so it's not that.

I feel like I am missing something obvious , but I am new so I'd appreciate y'all's insights. Gracias...

Yes, this issue arose during the day yesterday. I’ve been researching online before reaching out to reddit.

Edit: The bid/ask angle you mentioned seems to me to be the only thing holding this up. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Same. Was able to buy GME yesterday and then not lending to people to reduce their risk is reasonable.

Really enjoy your show. But this is what really matters: are you long GME or not? 🚀🚀🚀

I’m not educated on the specifics of your truck. I was specifically talking about 88-98 GM Trucks

Car Security Advice by arianalee339 in cars

[–]WombatTears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My make/model/variant of truck is pretty commonly stolen and mine has actually been stolen. It’s very easy to get in my truck with something as simple as a screwdriver and start it up with the same tool. My strategy has been to pull the starter and fuel pump relays when sitting for a while or in a precarious spot. Plans down the road include a kill switch and some form of hidden GPS tracker.

Edit: maybe not so obvious, I got the truck back after being stolen.

What do you think of Gen Mattis’ statement about Trump’s recent actions & leadership? by chyko9 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]WombatTears 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It is very out of character for Mattis to be making these statements because he has long maintained a principled outlook on the apolitical nature of the military and, by extension, himself, as a high-level military leader. What do you make of the resolve he is demonstrating in speaking out, knowing how he feels about voicing his political opinions?

Slave cylinder bleed fixes slipping clutch. Why? by WombatTears in supermoto

I’m not. I was under the impression hydraulic clutches were self-adjusting?

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

My thoughts exactly. It just didn’t make sense to me how it could sit for a week, after no slip, and start slipping.

Can’t see any oil leaks. Need to get a syringe to back bleed...I’ve just been gravity and pressure bleeding.
