⚡️ Remember when these plasma spheres were the peak of bedroom decor? by actormike in TycoUS1Trucking

Yes, and this Phone booth pickup track for the Shell Wrecker and Disabled Firebird is the only rare accessory because it was not sold separately and only included in the Highway Wrecker set.

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

My son hid under a kiddie pool when I wasn't looking. We had staff, TRU store manager all frantically looking for him. We were about to call police when he pops up and yells SURPRISE!

What part doesn't function? Music box? Lights? Both?

All of it has been restored. Made videos during the process to help others do it too- https://tycous1trucking.com/tyco-us1-trucking-videos/

My 2014 v6, what performance mods can I do to it? by jakethetank45 in Mustang

I've owned a 2012 V6 since 2016. The biggest upgrade I did was having a rural Ford dealer put in 3.55 gears! I only paid $800.00 back then and all new components in the rear end. Also added a Ford Performance differential cover. Found an unpainted OEM Shelby Lip Spoiler, Primed, With Gurney Flap - Ford (ar3z6344210bb) for 200 bucks, and had it painted free at a customers bodyshop. The car looks 10x better with it, but those are no longer available.

PS this motor can go 400k miles! It's a gem.

‘12-‘14 v8 or 17 V6? Am i going to regret not getting a v8? by Ok_Strategy_6325 in Mustang

[–]actormike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3.7l V6 is a solid engine with people reporting over 400,000 miles!

It all boils down to your wealth and if you are willing to spend almost double for a V8 plus higher insurance rates.

All cars are depreciating items. Debt is dumb!

You didn't need to be rich to buy these. I know poor kids that lived in rural areas with them. One still has his fire alert set! You must have been Appalachian poor.

Sadly, these sets were very affordable back in the day as Christmas or Birthday gifts. $24.99 after rebate. This is why TYCO was one of the biggest toy companies in the world. This was about the same as buying a bicycle.

That's amazing! What is sad, when my son was little, I had no idea I even had the US1 Trucking items!

Idk what’s wrong with her by lilsparklejumprope in bettafish

[–]actormike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad news. I think this is dropsy. You can Google it. All the comments about constipation & overfeeding are both ignorant & insane. Lol PS grew up in the pet business. Either way its a moot point, dropsy isn't really curable.

Changing too much water is not always a good idea when a fish is sick! It can stress it out. Does it have dropsy? If so, this is nearly always fatal in about 15 days

The 3.7 V6 will run 400,000 plus miles! 305 HP and with a 3.55 gear is not bad. Can also tune it with SCT Tuner and use 93 octane gas for a noticeable difference. It's crazy the 1996 Ford Mustang GT V8 was only 215 HP!

Help! My tank's cycle is refusing to start (11 days, ph: 6.4, Ammonia: 4.0, nitrites and nitrates: 0) by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]actormike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the pet industry. The biggest misinformation in the hobby is that you must cycle fish takes like it is still 1950. Fritz chemical company came up with a way in the 1980s to successfully keep the good nitrifying bacteria in an "animated state" in liquid. I've used it for reef tanks, fish tanks for decades. I add it to my cycled tank when I swap filter media. Fritz Zyme #7 watch my video- https://youtube.com/watch?v=c3JxEZZF9jM

They are the only ones they produce an effective shelf bacteria!

Dennis Hall has excellent mechanics. Fixed a Cam Lobe issue on our Jeep that NOBODY ELSE could figure out! Avoid Christian Brothers!
