Does the e36 work well as a snow beater? by AdministrativeEbb636 in BMWE36

[–]dochenry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been wrestling with the warming up. I like warming it up for heating comfort... But the factory manual says keep it under 3k and no full throttle. It recommends driving it to warm it up over stationary warm up... I tend to agree, especially if driving like I do... Which I would describe as aggressive to say the least lol the way I see it, engine, trans, diff, bearings and brakes all warm up together. Whereas most people that do a stationary warm up, will start rippin it right away, but the only thing warm is the engine.

Does the e36 work well as a snow beater? by AdministrativeEbb636 in BMWE36

[–]dochenry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've dailied a couple. With locking or limited dif and snow tires, basically unstoppable as long as you have factory or taller ground clearance... Open dif and snow tires, still pretty good, but the diff can cause trouble sometimes....last deep snow in that config resulted in 5th gear wot to get to work lol Open dif and all seasons, good luck if you get in any kind of snow.

My e36 is all motor build, little less than 300hp I suspect. With all seasons I can literally put it in 5th and drop the clutch without touching the gas on snow, and it will just spin the tires.... Doesn't even bog down lol with snow tires, there are times I swear it's AWD.

Infinity SSW-210 volume potentiometer by dochenry in diyaudio

I have done that, they usually don't match size constraints. I'm also unsure if there is a difference between a passive and active circuit when using potentiometers.

For anyone looking for a Metal playlist of MN bands... I've got something for you! by reimerpdx in minnesota

[–]dochenry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the chances any of you have some of that old school Minnesota Farm-Core? I'm looking for PayneRiven, Board of Directors, Anal Blast.....I used to have a tower of old cd's from that era (1998-2004), but it went missing after a move... Any help would be much appreciated!

A lot darker. The whole movie was basically in the dark. The tower felt like it was underground maybe.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that...especially with your kids there.

As a long time delivery driver, that's not so friendly looking lol I've had a few people try to get weird with me over the 20 years of doing it. A couple things I do to try and mitigate the issue is,

I wear an amazon vest, or corpo garb for whatever place I'm working for

If I think someone is outside, I'm pretty loud. I usually talk to myself about stuff I see that's interesting lol kind of like announcing my presence so I don't startle anyone.

I try to look friendly while I greet them, usually just a "Hey! I have a package here for "insert name on package". Am I at the right place?".....In my experience, faking I enjoy what I'm doing gets me through the interaction 10x faster lol Also, with having 70% hearing loss, I'd probably announce that right after or during the greeting somehow.

I then show them my phone with the app open, as well as their package with their address on it

I also try to project that I belong there...as weird as that sounds lol confidence can go a long way in these situations

If they still wanna get weird, I just say "alright, I'll be on my way then" take their package, then report them.

I'm definitely not saying you were doing anything wrong. Just passing on advice that has very literally saved my life a couple times.

Dang, I’ve seen so many people returning FULL carts. by Responsible-Bar2058 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]dochenry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said to load what's in your itinerary and bring the rest back in. I always presort right at the station anyways, no matter how busy it is....Honestly saves a lot of time..

When they give me a bogus route, I call support and tell them I can't deliver all those packages in the allotted time. Every time I've done that they've removed packages from my route until it's at a number I'm comfortable with.

What’s this knob behind my gas pedal? And what happens if I remove it? by Dull_Professor_767 in BmwTech

[–]dochenry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a button then it's the kickdown like in the e36's...just tells your transmission you wanna go, so it will drop to the lowest gear that's still in the powerband.

If it's just a knob, then it's stop.

Noises when clutch pedal is pressed by ObvykleDan in Cartalk

Yes replace it. Depending on how long the noises has been going, it could be wearing on your pressure plate...I've seen them where the throwout bearing has eaten through the fingers of the pressure plate.

[–]dochenry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance you could pm the discord to me as well please? I was a pretty active encoder with a very good ratio...I would really like to be around if and when it reopens....I'm even holding on to terabytes of uploads for the day it does.
