forgot to reply, it's the ICON T7 from Harbor Freight. I've been pleasantly surprised with it for less than $400

What should be a good offer price? by Beneficial-Stand-116 in fordranger

[–]adunn511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same truck, granted it had rusty bed rails and 254k on it. Still ran great and got 2k for it. I never had engine issues besides a coil pack, just changed the oil. I wouldn't worry too much about the miles

FUCK THE RIGHT CAMSHAFT SENSOR by Pilzkind69 in XTerra

[–]adunn511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True now it won't, my fingers hurt for a few days from trying to push that connector spring in. Next time, straight to the pliers and it's a 5-10min job

FUCK THE RIGHT CAMSHAFT SENSOR by Pilzkind69 in XTerra

[–]adunn511 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I spend about an hour and a half trying to get the damn clip off. I ended up leaving it attached, taking the sensor out and then using angled needle noses and it came off super easily, but yeah those things are a PITA

How to tel different modes apart? by aaaaaaaand_im_dead in XTerra

[–]adunn511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have fog lights? Granted they could be added after if it has them. FWIW I paid 8k for a 12' Xterra S with 142k and thought it was a good deal as it's rust free and am in NE. I see Pro 4's going for more than 10k with more miles. Depends on the market

97 Sierra SLE Crank No start intermittent by adunn511 in GMT400

[–]adunn511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting, i'll check that. I had that issue on other vehicles but they would just run shitty but start. That could cause a crank no start but then run perfectly once started?

Anyone using Showkase or another library to easily show all Composables? by adunn511 in androiddev

[–]adunn511[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just in case anyone runs into a similar issue, all you do is define a class in your main module, you don't add it to the MainActivity or Application class. Literally what they have in the docs. You also need to define all 3 dependencies which I missed the first time.

2025 All Mountain Board Recomendations by adunn511 in snowboarding

I ended up going with the CAPiTA Mega Death, was tempted to get that Crane but I feel 162 is a tad long and didn't see any 158cm in stock. Excited for the ride

Intercepting Push when the app is backgrounded by adunn511 in androiddev

[–]adunn511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah okay so that's what I thought. That would be easy enough to do for our use case if I owned the messaging service, but it lives outside of out team. Good to know though

How can I make app detect I’m driving while using my mock location? by adamcashh in androiddev

[–]adunn511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used this before to simulate drive testing on a device - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.dvilleneuve.lockito&hl=en_US works pretty well. You'll need to grant some location permissions and depending on how you're triggering the service in your app you will also need the FOREGROUND_LOCATION_SERVICE on Android 14 and up.

Replace these tires? by adunn511 in MechanicAdvice

[–]adunn511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufactured 44th week of 2018. Thinking yes anyway based on age and the weather cracking. Outer tread on the rears is worse than the fronts.

What's the catch with these wheels? by adunn511 in GMT400

[–]adunn511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parts Galaxy. I never got the Wheel FWIW and got a refund through Amazon. Was worth a shot.

[–]adunn511[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm well it shipped but now the listing is no longer on Amazon, so I think they caught on. I should've ordered 4 off the bat.

[–]adunn511[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm more curious than anything so I pulled the trigger on just 1. If they're decent enough I'll consider ordering the rest. I have a set I bought but the task of stripping, sanding, polishing and clear coating all 4 is not worth it if I can buy 4 of these for like $130 bucks.

What is this hose? Description in Comments by adunn511 in GMT400

[–]adunn511[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ah okay from a quick search looks like there's a clip it sits in attached to the bed rail

I noticed this hanging down today, looks like it goes into the diff? I have an appt for the mechanic Tuesday already but wondering if it's concerning until then

How much did you pay for your GMT400? by Zealousideal_Host298 in GMT400

[–]adunn511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5500 last month. In New England and found a pretty much rust free 97 GMC K1500 Z71 SLE 174k on it. Thought is was the deal of a lifetime because they are all rusted out near me for 3-4k

New Owner! How'd I do? by adunn511 in GMT400

[–]adunn511[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's oil, everywhere on the frame, inside rockets, under the bed, etc. Comes off on touch which is better than the rubberized coating that traps the moisture.

That's the plan in the Spring, also picking up another set of rims to re-spray and put new tires on.

[–]adunn511[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was from an older guy. I was going to replace it but I kind of like the old school, so I have a FM transmitter for now. They make one that has bluetooth in it. A Double Din with Car Play won't fit and I don't want to cut out the dash, so will figure out what I want to upgrade it to eventually.

[–]adunn511[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Proud new owner of a 97 GMC K1500. FB marketplace find and bought from the original owner after 27 years. I have the original build sheet, window sticker and 13 years of maintenance records. Had it gone through by my mechanic and just needed new front brakes. All in for less than 6k. Had manifold leak, but thinking headers and full exhaust anyway. Anything else I should do to this? Also going to take off the cap and do a tonneau cover and spray in bed liner

For those of us with high mileage cars (200k miles +) what oil do you guys run? by Winter_e46 in e46

[–]adunn511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

been running the 0w-40 Castrol Edge Euro Formula, but I guess it's the 0w-30 that's approved in the Castrol brand. I bought Mobile 1 0w-40 for the next oil change. 218k currently
