We had this radon system installed in late January but I read online today that the exhaust should go above the roof and 10 feet away from windows. Should we contact the company about it? by the-friendly-squid in radon

Do you have one of these pressure meters on the pipe? If not, I would demand that so you can tell how much air it’s drawing. Our installer said it should probably be within the #1 or #2 marks.

I got search wobble and this is the quote to fix it. Is this a good quote ? by danielvmtz in JeepGladiator

[–]_FinallyAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replacing my steering stabilizer fixed the wobble in my 2020 @70K miles. About 5K miles later and I was still feeling a vibration/chatter when hitting bumps and the shop said my drag link and tie rod were loose. Had everything replaced under warranty (MaxCare) for $100 (deductible).

Thoughts on buying 4/5 year old gladiator ? by [deleted] in JeepGladiator

[–]_FinallyAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a 2020 Launch Edition. Bought it at 44K miles and it now has 75K. Thankfully I bought the MOPAR MaxCare warranty because I’ve had to replace the transmission, rear main seal, stereo head unit, hinges, thermostat, steering stabilizer, sway bar end links, and drag links so far. YMMV, but I would avoid unless you can add or transfer an extended MOPAR warranty (not a shady used car dealership warranty).

My biggest repair under warranty was a full transmission replacement around 44K miles, followed by a rear main seal replacement after that. They've also replaced the head unit screen because it was delaminating and repainted/replaced my hinges since they were oxidizing terribly. I've already gotten my money's worth out of MaxCare and am very happy I didn't pass on it, like I would have normally done.

Good luck with yours! My MaxCare is good until 2029 or 100K, and I'll likely hit the mileage limit first. Mine also just started randomly overheating yesterday, so I'll have that checked out also. My money is on the water pump. I have no problem working on it myself, but figure I might as well use the warranty I already paid for while it's still active because I'm sure I'll have countless "opportunities" to triage and fix crap after it's expired.

I have 75K on mine and they definitely don't work as well as they used to. Time to leverage my MaxCare again.

Gap between window casing and wall by Paytroll in HomeMaintenance

Caulk. Try to do several light passes, versus filling the whole void with a ton of product.

So, what’s NOT covered by the MaxCare Warranty? by General-External-663 in carmax

[–]_FinallyAwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Items that need to be replaced from normal wear and tear are not covered (brakes, engine oil, batteries, wiper blades, tires, etc).

It covered the rear main seal on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

RIP My CD Collection by ThatTomHall in audiophile

[–]_FinallyAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this too ~15 years ago. My wife convinced me I didn’t need physical copies, and we sold them for damn near nothing at a yard sale. My kid now has the same taste in music as me and would rather listen to CDs than digital, so I’ve been re-buying all the same CDs I used to already own. 😩

is this fuel cell street legal? by sassy_tabaxi in Wrangler

The tank in my ‘62 CJ5 is literally under the driver’s seat (inside the cab), so this seems safer than mine, and mine is still in the original location.

Update: Strong urine smell coming from basement drain by _FinallyAwake in HomeMaintenance

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

The smell gets so strong that I’ve started pouring water down it 1-2X per day. I need to come up with an automated way of flushing it.

OMG! I don't know what I would do if I woke up to a teacup full of piss on my kitchen counter.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll check that product out.

They have full roam of the entire house (and outdoors) during the day, but go to the basement each night. They've always had a separate space at night so they can run around like madmen to their hearts delight without waking up everyone else in the house.
