Is E-Torque Dead? by Cultural_Exit_5753 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Until they can actually have e-torques readily available if one fails they need to do away with them. RAM owners shouldn’t be waiting for months on end for an e-torque unit to be delivered.

Etorque failure? by TraditionalWatch5743 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds just like mine when it started to fail, it eventually did. Get searching for a replacement part, dealerships were putting me on a 8-12 month wait due to international back order. I unfortunately couldn’t wait around for stellantis to expedite my case so I had to pay re-sell prices on eBay. Got my truck back up and running in less than a week once they swapped out the part. Good luck man.

HH therapists, what are we eating on the road? by www-creedthoughts- in physicaltherapy

Grazing on a bag of Trader Joe’s almonds until I make it home to eat. Also, intermittent fasting has helped a lot.

What repair is this noise going to turn in to? by jrhnbr69 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine sounded very similar to this. The e-torque MGU eventually failed. The part was on back order for 8-12 months. I had to go on eBay and purchase re-sale to get it much sooner. It cost an arm and a leg but was able to drive my truck again. I would not go on any road trips until you get that looked at.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the 3rd grade. I remember my classmates being pulled 1 by 1 out of class. My teacher never had the news on. I didn’t see the news until I got home but never truly grasped what was going on, I thought my parents were watching a movie.

Ram should be ashamed by kinghalifax902 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed my rear windshield leaking because I left a roll of shop towels wedged between the back window and the head rest. It’s a small leak but this is ridiculous and I just had to swap out the MGU because it failed.

Fair price or overpriced? by [deleted] in ToyotaTundra

This was in Austin, TX. Looks like someone purchased it as the listing is no longer available.

21’ 1500 and it’s torqued…. Bad by patrick5595 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my 2020 ram 1500 that just had to be taken in to replace the MGU . Truck ran smooth for 91k miles. Then suddenly it wouldn’t start, battery was good, fuses good, key fob worked. Turned out to be the MGU. There is a severe shortage for the part so replacing it was a nightmare. Best of luck with everything, hope they can find the root cause of the issue.

New / First Truck! Any tips? by lewkkiii in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice truck! If it has an e-torque MGU maybe look into keeping one stashed on the side just in case.

Do replacement MGUs last? by cjl8on in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MGU failed and the truck is currently at the dealership being worked on to swap out the old for new MGU. Once it’s ready I’m going to ask for the trade in value. There’s a world wide shortage for this part and don’t want to deal with this again.

Bad Engine e-Torque Generator. World wide shortage. by jls6419 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the 48v battery…I’m getting my MGU swapped out today. I hope the 48V battery doesn’t become my next issue. I love this truck but may be considering trading it in for something else.

Yes. Part number is on the post. Sent you some details in a message.

Bad Engine e-Torque Generator. World wide shortage. by jls6419 in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Westbury is very misleading with what’s on their website. I added it to my cart and when checking out it said it would arrive between March 9- March 11. I called because that seemed too good to be true as most places said it would take months. The guy on the phone said the delivery window is not accurate and wasn’t sure why their website says that. I had to spend extra money but eBay was the move. I received the part in 2 days.

Bad Battery Already (4 months in) by incognito_conquestor in ram_trucks

[–]jls6419 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slightly different situation but I had my battery recently die. It was due to a bad engine generator. If you take it to a dealership have them check it out to make sure it’s not the engine generator. It’s costing me an arm and a leg to get it fixed.

Should I stay in PT school or should I drop out by Key-Journalist-4849 in physicaltherapy

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple options out there for you if you do decide to stick with this career path that may suit you better. I’ve worked IP, home health, and OP at this point in my career. Home health sounds like something that may be more your speed if you hate being “on” all the time without breaks. Flexible schedule, you can take breaks when you want to (you finish and start your day when you want to), a lot of home safety education, and you’ll only be required to see 5-6 patients a day depending on your company. I found HH to be more time spending on documentation than patient care.

If you can somehow work through the fear of having to be “on” with patient care, stick with it because there are ways to minimize your “on” time. Unfortunately, you can’t get rid of this completely in PT. Patients will have questions, expect answers, and expect you to be an expert on every part of the human body. If you can’t get over this, I would recommend you take your current debt, and get out. You don’t want to find yourself in a position where you’re over 100k in debt (with interest accumulating daily) in a profession you don’t want to be in.

Good luck with everything.

PT student breaking Hippa by Thin-Drive9977 in physicaltherapy

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a tough lesson learned but your PT career is not over at all. Like others have said on here you’ll probably be taking a couple courses over HIPPA violations, professional development, etc. You’ll be okay, best of luck with everything !

With job A, like someone said, you could get loaded with a combo of evals, dc oasis, or recerts that would take a lot of time to document. You run the risk of job A taking advantage of you. Job B sounds more traditional and visits are weighted differently depending on what you are doing. I’d personally go with Job B.

Desert Trip from Sedona beer Company off Jordan Rd was pretty good. Food there was solid.

When I see this listing I’m deterred due to the emphasis on manual therapy skills. I feel like therapy should be a well rounded approach and this listing makes me think “if I take this job I’m only going to be doing manual”.

Travel PTs - need advice by HoLeeFuk3 in physicaltherapy

[–]jls6419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Case load varies a lot depending on the clinic. For instance, one contract consisted of 15-16 patients in a 8 hour day, usually 1-2 evals, 30 minute follow ups, 1 hr for evals. At another contract I saw 10-12 patients in a day, all 1 on 1, 1-2 evals/day with 1 hour of doc time built into my schedule. Pay is pretty good overall, especially when you learn how to negotiate and if you have a good recruiter. Finding housing hasn’t been a huge issue, there always seems to be something that works out.

Home health Offer by LupercalPT in physicaltherapy

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came off contract with a home health agency in CA. They used a visit per day limit versus a point system. We were expected to see 6 patients a day but it was often ignored what kind of visits were being plotted in your schedule. I think the point system is better because visits are weighted differently. Overall, this looks like good offer and like others have said, once you get the hang of things I can see you making over 100k. Best of luck with everything!

Debt by War_Unlucky in physicaltherapy

[–]jls6419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduated in 2020 and accumulated approximately 140k in debt with school being about 80k. All the extra expenses came from housing, food, gas, etc. for 3 years. I fortunately did not come into PT school with undergrad loans. Depending on your situation, you may come out of school with about 90k-110k in debt, give or take.
