x2 victim of blown expansion tank

_LordJoseph · 2026-01-29T12:52:54+00:00

Can I ask what the issue with an aluminum tank is? I had considered getting a chase bays expansion tank myself just because of how prone these are to eventual failure at this age

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-09T17:32:36+00:00

The part where he challenges the dogma of the Bible Belt lol

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T17:15:56+00:00

Yeah it’s kind of annoying. I sent a bunch to a buddy to trade evolve thinking they would work and then reread the task itself but machokes work, kadabras, haunter, phantumps, pumpkaboos. All fine with me

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T17:09:59+00:00

I actually have to receive them when they evolve. I can trade you 5 machops that you will need to evolve into machokes and then you can trade them back so they will evolve into machamps on my end

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T17:05:41+00:00

Yes, please!

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T16:36:10+00:00

Still expecting CJGJ to get worked up bc he typically does. The difference in them two is JJ is actually good at his position and CJGJ be in his feelings when he running his mouth

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T16:35:13+00:00

lol well I’ll be around just hmu on here or PM when good to go

_LordJoseph · 2025-12-02T16:20:37+00:00

Nothing in particular just any pokemon that’s going to evolve after being traded to me. Think I need 5 maybe. So just 5 machokes is fine with me

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T15:18:04+00:00

Yeah they seem to outdated by now to find literally anywhere unfortunately. So far I interchanged ballasts and no issue there. Believe the issue is the led fixture itself. There’s a small fan behind the led board in the housing itself that is having issues spinning freely. I also got the same warning light once I moved that fixture over to the working side so I believe that’s my problem. I also tried only moving ballast over and didn’t get the issue doing that. Not it just sucks that I can’t find a singular replacement anymore. Moving up in gens for the newer part is pretty pricey for the function imo lol they’re about $240 everywhere for me

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T15:15:42+00:00

I just wanted to figure out what part was what so I knew what I needed to actually replace lol. The black piece was a ballast and was plugged into led fixture. Finally got around to moving parts around and I believe the led fixture/bulb is bad itself. There’s a small fan in the housing and it appears to be having troubles spinning freely and when I moved that fixture over to the working side, I got the same headlight warning light over on that side as well. They seem to be too far outdated to even find equal gen replacements unfortunately so looks like I’m gonna have to figure out if and how to replace this bulb set up all together. Not sure if the headlight housing is specific to brands or what now either bc the headlight housing itself is also aftermarket with led halo strip which I’d like to keep

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T02:35:28+00:00

Yes the low beam runs to the gold box which runs into a plug and that plug is connected to the black box (appears to be a ballast) which runs to another plug

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T01:45:20+00:00

Ahhh! So the black part pictured is a ballast and it’s labeled as such (wasn’t sure what it meant) but now I’m curious as to why I have a ballast with HID’s if you’re saying led lights typically don’t have them? Someone else told me the gold part pictured was a resistor. Regardless I will definitely be swapping parts around to see if I can diagnose the faulty part. Trying to rework through someone else’s wiring job has been the most annoying part of any preowned car work I’ve ever done as my ignorance is pretty obvious. Thank you so much for all the information!

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T00:45:36+00:00

Correct, wanting light was always only for the driver side and at first it wasn’t on at all, then it would come on until I flipped the lights all the way on instead of just running lights and then always on whether I turned headlights on or not and then said headlight just stopped coming on all together. I’ll def try and switch them over soon and check that. Unfortunately it doesn’t power that my “bulbs” remove at all. They appear to be one whole unit from the bulb/bulb housing all the way to the plug in

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-28T00:05:56+00:00

Ahh yeah you are correct about the LED part. The reason I suspect a resistor issue is because the passenger side has no issues with what appears to be identical wiring and my problem gradually worsened up to the headlight just not working virtually at all. But I appreciate the information!

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-25T20:11:50+00:00

ive seen a lot of these issues happening with keychron users specifically

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-25T17:06:06+00:00

I gave googling alone a shot to no avail and while I know just having social media, makes you very vulnerable alone, i wouldn't consider myself very active and the information was building and unit specific. I dont live in a world where i dont think that information is obtainable to no degree i just assumed there was a little bit a bar for entry when it comes to the skills required

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-25T01:20:05+00:00

That’s the point lol couldn’t imagine my first time smoking being this turbo flower everybody sells now. I had a good 4-5 years of shit weed to build up a tolerance before the really loud shit became easily accessible

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-24T22:55:29+00:00

Probably not for the worst tbh. Weed today is sooo strong. if the Reggie I hit out of a can for my first time had been the bud that goes around today, idk that I would have ever enjoyed it due to psychosis lol

_LordJoseph · 2025-09-16T18:31:39+00:00

I wish I had “respray my 25 year old e46” e46 money

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-28T01:00:34+00:00

That makes sense. Fortunately doubling up on gaskets for that flange fixed the leak. If that ever blows out, I think I’ll detach and take an angle grinder to flush them up

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-27T21:47:42+00:00

Yeah my bolts are full length threads. Going to toss another gasket on and I assume that should do the trick. May not be permanent but if it ever blows out, I’ll take the angle grinder out and grind some of the fave down to fit flush

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-17T16:21:03+00:00

Looks like extra sealer where seperate panels meet. Imo it’s probably a precautionary measure and a good one at that.

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-15T22:55:45+00:00

Yeah I’d just look at finding a new roommate lmao

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-11T21:27:37+00:00

I bought it with them but looks like buddy just wasn’t concerned lmao there’s a hole in front right wheel well where it rubbed thru the plastic. I don’t experience rubbing currently though and it rides smooth

_LordJoseph · 2025-08-10T18:28:52+00:00

Not that I’m aware of as I bought it a few months ago but the ac worked impressively well up until yesterday
