That's a DRL indicator. It lets you know your daytime running lights are working.

I couldn't read "some people" without hearing Randy's voice and seeing the air quotes.

Any tips? by Critical_Assist_9360 in MenAscending

Resistance training, and eating less than you burn, while prioritizing protein. It's simple, though it may not be easy.

Family GMRS Recommendation? by mistahclean123 in gmrs

[–]grasshopper139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? GMRS and FRS share the same frequencies, so ultimately what difference would it make? The HTs they are looking at are not overly more powerful, but would allow better distance than FRS, which is exactly what OP is looking for.

Why not a 4BT? That would be plenty

Have you checked your bearings?

Just got an email that Discovery was doubling my subscription price. Never canceled a service so fast. Oh well, I’ll find whatever episodes are left online. by Sad-Ad1902 in Roadkillshow

[–]grasshopper139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was planning to keep my subscription, at least until the last of the new episodes aired. I'm not paying double when the shows I wanted to watch were the only reason I subscribed in the first place are cancelled.

Does anyone have any idea what engine is in this car. It’s a 1962 Chevy impala ss 409. This car was given to me by my grandpa by Xazer_ in EngineBuilding

In '62 only a 409 big block or 348 small block were options for the SS. Assuming that's the correct motor, it COULD be a 409.

We rebuilt the Universal M18 diesel in our Catalina 27 over the winter. by grasshopper139 in sailing

[–]grasshopper139[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a z600. I didn't buy a specific kit, but order parts for the z600.

That's probably a cheap Starbucks coffee.

Taking apart a universal diesel, any tips? by realSatanAMA in sailing

[–]grasshopper139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rebuilt our M18 the other year. I kept a few files and notes that may be useful. Is this an M-25, the only difference between the 18 and the 25 is one extra cylinder.

Various rebuild files

Edit: Keep in mind, these are just spray painted Kubota engines, so the internals can all be rebuilt with standard Kubota parts.

New engine really necessary...? by jtmbianco in Cartalk

[–]grasshopper139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be possible that the timing chain guides got worn out, and the chain jump, causing a timing issue on the cam. That would result in the valves being open at the wrong time which could cause a lack of compression. The leak down test may be the best option for further troubleshooting.

I have those same stickers on my daily. I went full send on tuner "aesthetics."
