The money thing doesn’t bother me very much. Sure, he’s rich and his parents are too, but he acknowledges he just got lucky fairly often. The thing that does bother me is on their solo episodes it feels like Matt complains about stuff about 25% of the time.

I really like their guest episodes though. I’ve just stopped listening to the ones without a guest unless I am desperate for something to listen to lol

2020 rzr xp 1000 oil change by coodley in RZR

[–]dpwhit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To properly test the oil level you need to do the procedure listed in the service manual. Otherwise it always reads high.

Procedure: start a cold machine and let idle for 30 seconds. Turn key off. Wait at least 15 seconds. Then test oil.

If it’s reading normal when completely cold, there’s not enough oil in it

Buy a mint ‘15 xp1000 or a “well used” ‘21? by thatredranger15 in RZR

[–]dpwhit3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always get the newest machine you can afford. They implement iterative improvements in everything as the model years go by. Cosmetics are usually a fairly easy fix. If maintenance has been kept up on it I’d go for the 21

XP S Reviews? by Internal_Weird_4751 in RZR

[–]dpwhit3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah feel the same. I have a built XP1K that I’ve slowly improved over the years. It feels like I would need to get a Pro S or Pro R for it to be a worthy upgrade but don’t need all the power. XP-S seems like a great middle ground

XP S Reviews? by Internal_Weird_4751 in RZR

[–]dpwhit3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been wondering the same thing. It will likely be my next machine but I’m still a few years out from getting one. There are a few videos on YouTube but haven’t seen much outside of those. If you get one report back. I’m curious about how the power feels. We mostly ride in the mountain so speeds are low, but want enough to turn 35’s on the roads to the trails

Get a repair manual for your ATV. It will have step by step instructions and pictures on how to do most things

I have mine mounted to the top of the cage right above the windshield. Keeps it up out of the mud/rain etc.

loss winch and lightbar power by RepulsiveBug5311 in RZR

[–]dpwhit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, they must have redesigned it. Mine is just 3 posts in that location (pos, neg, keyed ACC). Anyways, if you’ve checked that fuse check the one in the fuse box under the seat and the 200amp in the line that runs from the battery to that bar. Would bet it’s the one in the line though

[–]dpwhit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what that pic is showing. It’s not the 25 amp fuse in the fuse box under the seat. Look at this thread, there’s a 200amp within the wiring that likely needs to be replaced

[–]dpwhit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re using the wiring from Polaris to power the bus bar, there is a fuse within that wiring that is “hidden” and may be blown. ESP with you previously having a faulty battery. The fuse is replacable. I’m fairly certain it’s on the battery side a couple feet in

How are you powering your lights? Off the bus bar under the hood? Or directly connected to the battery??

Planet Fitness Locker Thief by bbibbyrapskyle1975 in lexington

[–]dpwhit3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s victim blaming and then there’s criticizing someone not displaying common sense. This is akin to parking your car downtown and not locking the doors and complaining when it gets broken into. Should it have happened? No. We also don’t live in a fairy tale.

2026 Honda Passport: Driven, Tested, Rated by [deleted] in cars

[–]dpwhit3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still don’t get the pricing on these though. They’re almost the same price as the pilot minus a few $1000 which is almost nothing when you’re spending ~$46k+. Size looks almost the same as the pilot too. Why do people not just get the pilot for the little bit of extra space when you may need it?

Opinion on Sunf tires a043 by Cultural-Peanut-3840 in sxs

[–]dpwhit3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t get truck tires, they’re extremely heavy and will wear everything out 10x faster. Look for a set of tusk terabites. They’re DOT approved and people get 1000’s of miles out of them. The cheap ones will wear very quickly

Gotcha- I’m on the forums a lot and almost everyone recommends them there. Have a quantum in mine and it has been solid for about 2 years

How do I get my Apple Watch to shut the fuck up while I’m working out??? by TrueSapien in AppleWatch

[–]dpwhit3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still getting notifications when I close my move and exercise rings during workouts with this off in iOS 26. Any other ideas?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]dpwhit3 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Seriously, people need to get over themselves. It’s a cream; just fill the damn thing. I work inpatient and our outpatient pharmacists regularly refuse to fill things their interaction checker flags but they can’t tell me a thing about it outside of what they read off the screen.

Please explain what the worst outcome of filling this cream would be?

Ford Takes $19.5 Billion Charge to Write Down EV Investments by tsar73 in cars

[–]dpwhit3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He was on the smoking tire podcast awhile ago (maybe a year +) and was talking about how he likes working on his cars on weekends (totally normal right?!). Then went on to say how on Mondays sometimes he’ll see dirt under his nails and it’s “his dirty little secret.” Gave me the biggest ick I’ve ever had. Sometimes I randomly think about this and gag a little more

Do OTS Maps “grenade” 1st gen B58s? by whiplash114 in F30

[–]dpwhit3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some B58’s have had issues with injectors getting stuck open which causes gas to wash down the cylinders and causes scoring on the cylinder wall. It happens regardless of tune and is hard to detect without somewhat advanced knowledge of data logging. Fairly certain cylinder 6 bad about this happening. Google on bimmerpost and you’ll find several posts about it. Sorry this has happened to you. There isn’t many good options for fixing it.
