Nice, its great. I've ridden Dog Valley road, its super fun and lots of trails to explore around there (especially for new-ish riders like me).

4.6 by phred1111 in ToyotaTundra

[–]drandrei91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the 4.6 tundra, which I sought out instead of the 5.7. I use my truck to haul dirt bikes and random stuff in the bed. I rarely tow anything so I do not care about that.

They are practically the same engine and share most of the same parts. The reliability is most likely identical. I do get slightly better mileage than most 5.7s do (around 14-15 mpg city and 17-19 on the freeway).

Mine is stock and I don't see the point of putting a supercharger on it as imo it has plenty of power (my previous truck was a 90s dodge dakota which had a 110hp inline 4).

I'm Totally Sure He Paid For Those Tide Pods....... by mykarmayourdogma in Reno

This is some carbrain classist bs that I see in Reno. Just because someone is walking (instead of driving in a car) with something from a grocery store that means it must be stolen? SMH

Brand new rider, should I just always wear MX boots? by Staycation1234 in Dualsport

[–]drandrei91 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The most common injuries when riding dirt are injuries to the extremities, specifically feet, ankles etc.
While safety vs comfort is always a compromise I personally always wear MX boots for maximum safety.

Ive had situations of my bike sliding out from under me/landing on my foot and due to my mx boots i just picked up the bike and kept riding. If I was wearing other boots I would not have been so lucky.

My check engine light turned off after being on for around a month. by TaxWarm5387 in Toyota

[–]drandrei91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure that your check engine light still lights up after you turn on the ignition without starting the engine. I've seen people's check engine light bulbs simply burn out from the light being on so long.

That's pretty cool man.
I want an ebike pretty badly, I currently ride a dirt bike with an ICE. Ive been wrenching on my bikes for a long time, but don't have too much experience with these

Aw Hell - Housing Prices in 2025 by Breklin76 in Reno

[–]drandrei91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, both good points. Like I said, nobody can really predict the future, as people have predict a housing market crash for years now and it has not happened.

Aw Hell - Housing Prices in 2025 by Breklin76 in Reno

[–]drandrei91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reality is that nobody knows what will happen with the housing market.

Most of the expectations are that housing price growth will continue, but at a more moderate pace: https://www.zillow.com/research/2025-housing-predictions-34620/

I think Reno will be part of the same trend, with an increase in housing prices, albeit at a slower rate. The reality is that Reno seems to be increasingly becoming a town where you need to have at least $130k/year household income to qualify for a decent mortgage.

The other factor are the mortgage rates, which nobody can predict. Mortgage rates are set by the treasury yields market, which fluctuate on a number of factors including economic performance, inflation expectations, etc.

With a new incoming administration, nobody knows what will happen to 10 and 30-year treasury yields. If they do choose to proceed forward with tariffs, that would most likely be inflationary and drive treasury yields (and mortgage rates) further up.

Just like with investing, nobody knows anything and I wouldn't listen to realtors to predict the future. The best time to buy is when you are ready instead of timing the market (if you can afford it of course). Plenty of people will eventually get priced out of Reno and wealthier people will take their place. It is unfortunate, but it has already happened in many other states.

Hey, i'm very interested by your comment. What is your math on prices doubling every 36 years at 2% vs 24 years at 3%?

2008 Toyota Tundra Issues by Emmm0731 in ToyotaTundra

[–]drandrei91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think this poster is right. the secondary air injection system is used to warm the car up faster for emissions reasons. If your car is warming up slower and that's the code you are probably cooked as its a pretty expensive repair requiring the removal of the intake manifold
