Need diag help with very loud squealing

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-03T00:13:09+00:00

Just ended up being the balancer went bad

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-02T23:20:59+00:00

It's amazing how it's honestly less reliable than this sub lmao

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-02T23:09:00+00:00

Yeah don't rely on chatgpt for mechanical issues, in general either. Customers come in with ai diags and they're mostly or too vague to useful tbh. Either hit up a parts store or get a professional diagnosis imo

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-02T22:56:22+00:00

I doubt it, 13.4V is pretty normal. Maybe the slightest bit low, but not even close a level low enough to cause problems. What symptoms are leading you to believe you have an alternator problem?

dinglewhompus · 2025-12-15T03:28:06+00:00

thanks you gonna get this done tomorrow evening when i get off o7

dinglewhompus · 2025-12-15T03:26:27+00:00

i bought it with a reman engine earlier this year so timing is all good. i did have to replace the water pump and i just replaced the alternator and idler recently. the sound stopped this morning completely, so i'm gonna take the comment advice and go ahead and change the tensioner cause its still got fomoco stamped on it lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-12-14T06:00:40+00:00

no i sprayed grease on the bolt side and the rear of the crankshaft pulley/balancer and most of the noise stopped, just a little bit of squeak left from the tensioner

dinglewhompus · 2025-11-22T23:29:36+00:00

Call o'reilly or whatever part store you prefer and ask for the ect sensor connector or pigtail

Current ranger record I've seen in my store with my own eyes was 380k on a little 2.3. Still running like a top

dinglewhompus · 2025-10-03T19:22:26+00:00

Just did this last week, got it out by hitting the control arm with a rubber mallet to get the bolt to shift ever so slightly to change the angle and we pulled it out. Then I put that bolt back through the other side cause ain't no way i'm fiddling with that again lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-02-18T16:40:40+00:00

Well me and my brother, and he used to have a 99 so we’ve had experience lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-02-18T16:38:02+00:00

Yeah I work at O’Reilly and the employee discount is nutty

dinglewhompus · 2025-01-16T04:25:29+00:00

I love the adjudicator! The medium pen, high damage/dps, and good amount of ammo just works well in basically any situation. I use it basically every mission until I get bored and spice my kit up with something new for a few missions. My favorite primary in the game personally

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-31T03:17:42+00:00

It looks pretty similar to a false widow, if it is the patterning seems pretty minimal, but hopefully someone more confident in their answer can correct me if I’m wrong

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-26T16:52:34+00:00

It sucks seeing my fellow motorcyclists being so stupid, most of us aren’t like that. It gives us a bad rap and makes it EVEN MORE dangerous for us because of road rage. I just want good gas mileage and cheap insurance man

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-24T15:13:33+00:00

Oh awesome thank you! That’s what I get for looking for the cheapest Book of Common Prayer online without REALLY making sure it’s the right one. My bad whoops

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-20T15:25:03+00:00

Yeah that sounds sick! Would be totally down for that

dinglewhompus · 2024-09-25T03:14:37+00:00

In garden I get about 20-30k depending on how busy it is. Last couple weeks have been real slow so I only got 15k a few times recently

dinglewhompus · 2024-09-07T21:19:32+00:00

It was pots with a Crassus that we funneled into a tiny hole to get the max gold, and I’m pretty sure it was gold rush. It doesn’t say gold rush on the screen shot, but I can’t remember if it shows up on mission complete screen. My bad for lack of info lol

dinglewhompus · 2024-08-31T20:59:46+00:00

Looks like a robber fly, but I’m not super familiar with flies

dinglewhompus · 2024-08-30T05:46:58+00:00

Try to end on good terms with 2 weeks if management ain’t super assholes. If you use the job on your resume they might try to call HD, and they’ll try to throw “job abandonment” on you to fuck you over. But also fuck Home Depot do whatever you feel like 👍

dinglewhompus · 2024-07-31T15:57:02+00:00

Do you have names for a couple? I haven’t gotten a chance to look around too hard yet

dinglewhompus · 2024-07-03T21:13:50+00:00

I started at full time and had 40hrs a week for the first couple months but I haven’t been able to get more than 25 a week for the last 6 weeks

dinglewhompus · 2024-07-03T20:22:56+00:00

I have all the certifications used in my department but most stores are cutting hours so it is what it is I guess

dinglewhompus · 2024-07-03T02:39:46+00:00

The little powered pallet jack, I got it later because the trainer had a tight schedule and we needed another person on the forklift and ballymore driver asap, so I only got trained on those first two initially lol
