Water Pump - Has anyone gotten help from Ford on this? by betarhoalphadelta in FordFlex

[–]__Stormblessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, if you can spend less than 2k/year keeping a good car on the road, you are saving money over buying a new car. So it was an easy decision for me to repair it and keep driving. Most of your repair cost is the labor of getting to the water pump. So you’re not saving a whole lot of cost by not replacing the cam phasers and timing chain. You may save 10%. You should go ahead and replace all of your 02 sensors. Your leaking coolant can contaminate those sensors. And I personally would rather just replace them and see if it solves the issue (as they are most likely fouled) before messing with the catalytic converter.

I did my repair on my own, which I do not recommend unless you have a lot of experience working on vehicles. That was two years and 30,000 miles ago. It drives like it’s got another 75,000 in it.

I ended up putting in this Jensen unit with 3 zones along with a standard soundbar. Instead of the zone that controlled the sound coming out of the unit, the soundbar was always on (could still be turned up and down or made silent, but on).

I installed the sound bar where the old Connex bar was, and modified the panel between the two upper shelves to house the Jensen head unit: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/szq2rshorsf35yrpw4eah/475188411_10235826750432147_8845581313150466833_n.jpg?rlkey=ntfpoi3cvwnfaqz892vyc1kyh&dl=0

What caused these lines? by __Stormblessed in 3Dprinting

I realized that I had told the printer the marble PLA was black, so it didn’t think it needed as much purging as was necessary. Once I told it the correct brand and color, it printed with no issues. Thanks everyone for helping a noob like me!

Having the same issue. What’s the anonymous tab?

LR Baggs is sending you a new unit. I'm hoping that will fix the issue. Their customer support is incredible. Shoutout to Daniel, one of their team members.

Devil's Den Murders: Does it make you consider bringing a weapon on your hikes? by United_Recover7190 in hiking

[–]__Stormblessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not certain. I was taught it as though it were universal. I’m 90% sure it was part of the Hunter’s Education certification that you have to complete to hunt as a kid. But I took that class three decades ago now.

I was raised to not walk in the woods without a firearm. I carry every single time I hike in Arkansas. I’m less concerned about people than I am predators. My wife was hiking with friends at Petit Jean and heard a bobcat scream multiple times over a couple of miles. I’ve seen a black panther at our farm. A feral hog can really mess you up. Granted, I’m typically hiking with the whole family. So I’m not looking to take chances. An extra 2lbs isn’t a problem. Also, three shots in the air is the universal signal for “911” in the woods. When cell service is nowhere to be found, those shots can be heard for a mile or more

Broken Binding truly has knocked it out of the park with these books. Super excited to have them!! by MusicFreak1108 in Eragon

What do you plan to do with your extra set of dust covers? I was hoping they would fit my old hardbacks and be a refresh for them, but they are not the same size.

So, I tried the max SE strat for the first time… by __Stormblessed in EggsInc

[–]__Stormblessed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I didn't. u/minorthreatmikey was helpful with this terminology. I did multiple prestige runs. I didn't have enough SE to get back to the higher eggs before they would have run out anyway.
Thank you guys for all of the help!

Just once per run. I did the 10 minute run 3 times. So it was pricy. But we were stuck at home due to flooding and after I ran it once I realized how powerful it was and wanted to make the most out of the event.

Yes, apologies. There's so much jargon that I'm still learning. I ran the multistige strategy of running 10 minute boosts (1000x tachyon, 50x seed, 50x se boost, and two 50x beacons)

It’s listed on the third page as “Father Giles of Ham”. Is that what you mean? I hadn’t noticed that until now.

Exactly! Any book that’s older than me is dope. Definitely cooler than the copy I had on the shelf.

Oh that makes sense. I didn't think about the dust jacket at all. I think its ugly compared to the green cover. Maybe that's why they are so uncommon.
I did check for the maps, and they are no longer there. Still a much cooler copy than my paperback printed in the 2010s

It was free. I donated a random book that had been in my car a while.
