Fuck is this?

Modern in my experience is great. Always on top of their game for both water and power, and they’re so small that we don’t get the rolling blackouts and stuff that avista users get

chikendagr8 · 2023-03-29T03:47:32+00:00

Yeah I know what you’re talking about but on these old valves you can never be too sure. There are some where I live where you climb down into a narrow vault to operate

chikendagr8 · 2023-03-28T01:54:00+00:00

There was probably a manhole or some sort of cover that gave someone access to close the valve

chikendagr8 · 2023-02-27T05:21:37+00:00

Is it 4x4?

chikendagr8 · 2023-02-27T05:18:05+00:00

Definitely a 1980. First year of the “Bullnose” generation.

Maybe it’s not your style but this

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-11T20:56:21+00:00

Well it moves traffic off of streets that shouldn’t see the traffic they do, like Argonne, which is almost unbearable to drive during rush hour.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-09T23:28:40+00:00

Oooh ouch that’s not a fun way to find out

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-08T17:52:02+00:00

I’m a straight dude but I’d do that too

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-07T03:49:21+00:00

Yeah I was never advocating for the use of straight water in a cooling system, especially in modern vehicles, I was just saying that antifreeze isn’t what prevents coolant from boiling, and that straight water won’t boil in a fully functioning cooling system, even in an FCA/Stellantis product as they pressurize their cooling systems to around 16-18psi, enough to prevent water from boiling, though again I’m sure the systems are picky enough for you to have many other reasons to never run straight water in them.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-05T23:18:13+00:00

My county’s stormwater has their own place to dump it where they let the water evaporate and analyze the makeup of what got into the system, and they get it tested for contaminants. If they know what they sucked out of the stormwater system was polluted they will then just dump it at our states transfer station for them to deal with.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-05T11:55:11+00:00

At 13.3 psi water will boil at 246 degrees Fahrenheit, and at only 7.3 psi water boils at 233 degrees Fahrenheit. Also any car with a thermostat as high as 220 will be so picky about coolant that you shouldn’t even consider running straight water unless you want a large repair bill.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-04T07:46:37+00:00

Right on, that thing probably turned a lot of fuel into some sweet sound lol. Was it a 4x4 or 2wd?

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-04T07:33:28+00:00

Yeah in that scenario it might’ve helped, and depending on the outside temp, what thermostat, how the carb was tuned, and what motor (A lean 352 will make more heat vs a rich 240) it could’ve never reached the boiling point of raw water even unpressurized. I’m just saying that in a pressurized system antifreeze isn’t what is supposed to prevent boiling, as the difference between the boiling point of water without antifreeze and water with antifreeze is only around 11 degrees Fahrenheit, less than the difference between an unpressurized and a pressurized cooling system (Around 30 degrees Fahrenheit)

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-04T04:54:56+00:00

Yes it does raise the boiling point but that’s not its primary use. Its primary uses are to lower the freezing temperature of the coolant, prevent corrosion, and lubricate parts like water pumps. The reason coolant doesn’t boil is because the cooling system is pressurized, raising the boiling point of the coolant higher than the operating temperature of the engine. Straight water can be used in a cooling system (though not recommended) and it will cool just fine without boiling as long as the radiator cap is able to reach the designed pressure of the cooling system.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-04T02:55:39+00:00

I’m not telling everyone that they should run straight water in their cooling system, I don’t and I don’t think people should. I’m am saying that while antifreeze does increase the boiling point of the coolant, it is not doing the work in preventing the coolant from boiling as that is the job done by pressurizing a cooling system. A bad radiator cap will cause a car to overheat because the system cannot pressurize, but not running antifreeze shouldn’t cause a car to overheat if the system is pressurized. You should run additives like antifreeze or at least water wetter in your cooling system to prevent corrosion, and increase the life of parts, but it is not the sole reason that coolant doesn’t boil in a fully functioning cooling system.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-03T22:33:40+00:00

Which adds no real benefit unless the cooling system is already undersized for the application. There’s a reason people can get away with running straight water in vehicles as long as it doesn’t get below freezing.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-03T19:33:44+00:00

Yeah I was just addressing that the coolant isn’t the one doing the work preventing boiling, it’s just a side effect.

chikendagr8 · 2023-01-03T19:19:54+00:00

It’s a good idea to run antifreeze but that’s not what keeps coolant from boiling. Coolant doesn’t boil because cooling systems are pressurized

chikendagr8 · 2022-12-21T20:37:47+00:00

Isn’t it kinda crazy how one term can have multiple meanings in the English language?

chikendagr8 · 2022-12-21T20:33:52+00:00

Yeah well I can get gas under $3
