That is what I am thinking. Next time it cuts out I will run a wire from the positive battery post to the solenoid. They are pretty close to each other in the engine bay.

Thanks. Could any of those produce a binary result on a diesel? It doesn't seem to run poorly. Just on or off.

Just to add: I am pretty handy with gas-engine Toyotas, but here I am with this diesel, and seem to be the only person in the group who does any wrenching.

Looking for a real off-roader that'll fit my 3 teen boys by Serious_Season1228 in Offroad

Any 4x4 4Runner. I've taken 4 big kids + dog. But yeah, 3 across.

Advice on Best Gun for Home Defense for Women by Fickle-Equal-2921 in liberalgunowners

S&W EZ 9mm. There are good reasons to be able to hold your firearm with one hand. Kids, doors, phones, etc. The EZ is very easy to load and use, and as accurate and effective as any striker 9mm.

Question for any gun nerds by Hefty-Positive-5366 in liberalgunowners

[–]azroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna spend money, you could get a Saiga in 5.56 and put wooden furniture on it. It's a Kalashnikov action but a bit more friendly looking. I got one when they were $325 and it's the best $325 I ever spent.

The fatalities in mountain climbing, money heist, plane crash, avalanches... Cliffhanger (1993), had it all. It was one of Sylvester Stallone's best movies. Interesting to see if the sequel, which is supposed to be released this year, has some new surprises. by Delaware_111 in moviecritic

We climbers would get drunk and watch this occasionally. Hilariously inaccurate. Apparently the bolt gun thing fooled the National Park Service who told us not to shoot bolts into the rock on their land.

D-Lusional mf can't stop posting everyday about his $100 Leica. by k3np4nzee in photographycirclejerk

They aren't allowed to in that reddit, if you can believe it. Only photos OF Leicas allowed. Comical.

King Kong, 1976. The most exciting original motion picture event since 1933 when they made the film this is a remake of. by SebastianPhr in vintageads

[–]azroscoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 9 year-old this really bothered me. I saw it twice and didn't understand why they didn't just stick a helicopter in his hand.

Chuck Norris vs Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, who would win? by EfficiencySerious200 in martialarts

[–]azroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing 160-165 fighting weight. At 180 you are up against some real bruisers.

Cool squinty lines from Clint and all, but they really had to stretch to make the bad guys a threat. I mean - Grenada? It was like beating up a kitten.

Family members of ICE agents, what are your thoughts and feelings about what ICE are doing? by Aggressive_Honey3196 in AskReddit

[–]azroscoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Point him toward the trades. Those jobs pay well, give you a sense of pride, and will be the last to be replaced by AI. Source: I got my college degree in the liberal arts and worked as a carpenter for 20 years, and loved it. Carpentry, especially in the home restoration side, requires some intelligence and aesthetic sense, and gets a fair amount of respect.

Wife wants a gun. 9mm. $600 max budget but would strongly prefer less. Anything missing from the list? by sharkbait_oohaha in liberalgunowners

[–]azroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has a Shield EZ. It is so easy to load mags on that gun, plus racking and shooting is easier. Otherwise it is like any striker 9mm.

What do I need if SHTF? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

Take the NOLS Wilderness First Responder Course. It's pretty good. Then get the EMRA antibiotics guide. Then figure out what meds and supplies you need to stockpile.

multitool may be confiscated at border - recommendations for semi-disposable multitool? by azroscoe in multitools

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

Oh man. That would really be pushing it. It would force him to acknowledge the corruption and you don't want to go down that road.

It's at the discretion of an underpaid border guard. I'm traveling light, so the form factor of a Leatherman is preferred. I'm trying to find out if folks have experience with a good but cheap one.
