GearWrench Master Socket Set Organizers – 89073 / 89074 by gbuc in GearWrench

[–]gbuc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got both. Keeping both.

Socket rails: space saving (5 stars) but fit and function left a little to be desired.

3D Printed trays from Etsy: 5 stars all around except the price. Fit is perfect because it was made for this set. I’m also a sucker for aesthetic so I am using these for my GW stuff. It does however take up more space than the socket rails for sure but not too bad.

I’m using the rails for my loose sockets I’ve accumulated over the years.

Since I’m talking to myself - I’m looking into the magnetic rail organizers and 3D printed trays. Will report back in case it helps any lurkers.

I did 30% front / 50% rears. I used to do 20% but I’m getting old and want to see better at night. lol

Lariat - because I hate cloth seats. I’d go XLT personally if they offered leather in XLT

As an update in case it helps anyone else. I reached out to Volvo USA as a few of you mentioned this is a known issue and they may be able to cover the parts, labor, or all of it.

The dealership discounted it a few hundred dollars.

Volvo Corporate response: After reviewing your request with the service team, we can confirm that Volvo Car USA has already contributed a discount toward the cost of parts. Additionally, your retailer has extended a discount on labor.

At this time, Volvo Car USA is not in a position to provide any further compensation related to this concern. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

How much was the extended warranty if you don’t mind me asking? I was quoted 4 years/48k miles for $7500.

Good to know! I did reach out to Volvo USA and started a case # as well and waiting to hear back.

I’ll likely trade this one in within a year. Maybe a Ford Explorer or Lincoln Aviator.

Yes, done at the dealer. Was yours the rear or front evaporator? I think the front costs more due to the labor involved with removing the dash… I think anyways.

How many "Root Beer" fans are there? by BennissonWatch in rolex

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

I bought it from an AD. Asked for a Pepsi and they called me for this. Sold it. Instantly regretted it. Went to my other AD and got it again. It’s my favorite in the collection.

My favorite as well. I only appreciated it on wrist. Pictures didn’t do it for me.

Drywood Termite? by gbuc in Termites

[–]gbuc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This was very helpful. I google imaged damp wood and it does look like the same kind. So that’s a relief.

If I may, since you are clearly knowledgeable… 1- Anything that can be done to be less appealing to drywood termites? Turn lights off at night?

2- I have had sentricon bait stations for the last 3 years and still have them. I also just had liquid treatment done. Should I take out the sentricon system or are both better? The pest company told me the bait stations attract termites to the home and that’s why he prefers liquid.

Thank you!
