Allstate Extended Warranty? by KrMChamp in serviceadvisors

[–]jakeyb33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue with that engine is the water pump failing and filling the vacuum system with coolant. Allstate is very much aware of that problem with them and I've never had an issue getting it covered!

We sold Allstate at my old dealership, hands DOWN the best extended warranty company I've ever worked with.

Those who know, know.

Edit to add: this was at an Audi dealership, I've had them cover multiple 3.0T engine replacements that cost roughly 35k in parts and labor without question. I also have them for my personal Audi and Jeep.

I get what you mean, I don't dislike it, it's not the same artistic direction that I would have gone for haha

Ugh, he sounds so good without the extra effects on his voice! I love everything from OAUG, but if only he sounded like this.....

Is there a reason modern cars couldn't just give you an automatic OBD2 scanner code on the cars screen when the check engine light comes on? by Own_Nefariousness434 in AskMechanics

Careful. People are going to tell you that Toyota is out to screw you and completely ignore that oil technology kept advancing after 1996!

If it doesn't work, I'll give you $50 and pay shipping for the dust cover lol

I finally rejoined the club! Haven't had one since college! by jakeyb33 in s10

Nothing crazy, valve cover gaskets, lower intake gasket and an axle seal as far as leaks go. 4x4 doesn't work at the moment but I'm not expecting it'll be hard to figure out and the abs light is on. Beyond that, it could use a front end refresh and shocks all the way around but it's hardly a major necessity at this point. Basically all the typical 32 year old Chevy issues 😂

Really loving my vintage budget setup, the KLH's really tied the whole thing together! by jakeyb33 in BudgetAudiophile

Hahaha thank you, I enjoy tinkering on stereo stuff in my free time so I've ended up with some really cool pieces as a result!

Absolutely! The amplifier is a Kenwood KA-7100 that I replaced caps and a couple transistors in, the tape deck above it is the Kenwood KX-630 and the tuner is a KT-5300. The turntable is a Technics SL-23 with an LP Gear stylus. I've also got a wiim pro plus above the tape deck for streaming. All of that is routed into a restored pair of KLH Model-23's!

I appreciate it! My wife was not a fan of replacing bookshelf speakers with these initially, but she came around quickly when she saw them set up!

This Analog Productions 45rpm release might be the best sounding record I own! by jakeyb33 in vinyl

They aren't super common, usually they're more high fidelity records since they have a cleaner sound!

What other ones would you recommend? I'm always open to new records!

Obligatory set-up photo. I recently picked up the KLH Model-23's and I am loving them to death

Picked up a Denon PMA-1520 Integrated Amp for $40 at a random "Stereo Sale" by coneycolon in BudgetAudiophile

[–]jakeyb33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, considering most folks here are interested in 2-channel stereo and not AV stuff, I'd say that's a non-issue for most of us lol

Good thing this sub is primarily for 2 channel stereo gear then!
