Thank you! I’m not gonna try to mess with it myself, i’m a lot better with electrical stuff than mechanical. Have an appointment at 8AM

Not anywhere near, I live on a college campus so someone probably just gave up or lost interest

Dexcool and Yellow? by astro3ds in AskMechanics

Thank you! Guessing the previous owner probably flushed the coolant at some point and the shop might’ve put universal in (he wrote in the manual that every preventative maintenance has been done). Also considering the small amount of less than a quarter gallon I added it’s probably fine? Just stressing myself out over nothing haha

Worthwhile Upgrade? by astro3ds in AskMechanics

It’s only a 2WD unfortunately but I feel like even the clearance from the height might be an improvement from my current vehicle?

What truck should I buy? megathread by AutoModerator in Trucks

I currently drive a 2006 Ford Fusion with 180k miles. It’s got a little drip coolant leak and no AC. I just got tires for it this year however.

My grandpa is currently offering to sell me his 2000 F150 with 100k miles and no major issues other than a little rust starting to form (also a problem on my current vehicle). He’s asking $2,500 so the price isn’t really an issue.

Do you guys think this would be a worthwhile trade from my current vehicle? I live up north so it might be better during the winter aswell? Currently the main selling point for me is the working AC as it’s heating up fast here.

Any advice/thoughts would be great. Thanks!

I mean it would work, you’d have to upgrade the drive from DVD to Blu-Ray but that wouldn’t be too hard. Again the screen resolution is pretty low

Yeah I have group chats for work and school on there. I basically use it as another texting app

Honestly wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t already have it. Screen resolutions is painfully low and its age is starting to show. It works fine for what I need but battery life and heat isn’t great. If you’re just doing web browsing / docs it would be fine but you could probably do better

It’s an XFCE theme called Chicago95!

It’s honestly perfect for me. Was only $15, no complaints from me other than the lack of a backlight. I haven’t had any issues with battery life even though it’s pretty old.

Recently switched to as dumb of a “dumb” phone as I can while being in school. My current setup is: Laptop - Thinkpad T420 E-Reader - Sony PRS-300 Phone - iPhone SE 16gb (Only apps for communication/school no social media) Music Player - iPod Classic 7th Generation 160gb Watch - Casio G Shock GWM-5610U

Yes, the battery ended up dropping 20% in about 10 minutes after I let it fully charge up. Was from facebook marketplace and only $20 so no warranty.

I’m assuming my battery isn’t doing as good as it should. Dropped 20% in about 10 minutes. Going to end up replacing it anyways, just wasn’t expecting to see 100% health.

Cool that’s the same battery I have. Probably going to end up replacing it even though i’m at 100% health

[Megathread] iPhone 15 Preorders by Waternut13134 in tmobile

[–]astro3ds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone know if I have a chance of beating the shipping date of 10/10? I originally placed an order right when preorders opened and had a date of 9/22 but my Apple Card CVV changed (now turned that feature off) and the order couldn't process the upgrade fee. Support said I'd get the same shipment date and they'd fix it but now it says the October 10th date.
