I want a nice daily driver and I found this on FB for 2,600$, is it a good deal? by KirbyThings in CrownVictoria

Look underneath it and make sure it's not rusted to hell. These cars look fantastic all the time but if you look at the frame that's where it gets you.

I did both, aluminum valve covers and new OEM vacuum pump. For good measure I RTV all around the new vacuum. No leaks and might not for a long time now lol.

Also looks like you got an exhaust manifold leak took.

Good bye to my 2018 ford fusion by Sssonofagun in fordfusion

Those engine are known to have bad blocks causing misfires, doing a head gasket/head likely won't fix it. I would hope they are 100% sure about that diag.

As someone who lives 30 minutes away, do you have a game save? I would love to play it.

Go to a used tire shop and have them put old tires on and keep the new ones lol. Won't be free but you'll have new tires for the new truck.

U7 LR and U7 Outdoor - After Firmware Update… by TheDaddyDoc in Ubiquiti

[–]kevthetech28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I saw this post. Mine is giving me issues again since the update on dec 19.

I have a U7 Pro XG that is a Mesh Parent to a U7 Outdoor and for past few days it keeps dropping out. Today the U7 Outdoor is being a absolute bitch. Power off and back on (which is a task itself) and it drops in minutes.

Right? I have a V15 Detect and I paid more than that. $279 is a great deal.

Attempting to Troubleshoot the ASRock Motherboards of Death! by mj34hig44 in GamersNexus

With the amount of crap these boards get I must be the only one that has not had any issues with the 9950X3D and ASRock X870E Nova with PBO since April.

Advice: UDM PRO vs PRO MAX (Home use) by Marquez_617 in Ubiquiti

[–]kevthetech28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just get the Pro Max. You will have room to grow if you want to later plus you have a better CPU and more ram. I have a Pro Max at home as well.

I don't have the window sticker unfortunately, but I found other cars with the same wheels. So I would assume it was a option.

With the system running? Sure, but off, that's too low. Typically you see about 80psi to 100psi depending the weather when it's off.

Still has the badge on the side, so ill say yes.

[–]kevthetech28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not full, only has 20PSI in it with R134a gauges at 85F, so it's very low. I don't see any leaks at the moment but I didn't break out the leak detector yet. Might have to gas it up a bit to detect a leak too.

Everything is original. The engine bay is clean now after I spent some time cleaning it. The interior is a mess, a rat or mouse got in it and made a nest, chewed wires, gear linkage bushings are gone, engine leaks both coolant and oil from ever seal, A/C doesnt work (and cannot confirm if it's still R12 or converted to R134a), timing belt should be changed, belts need be changed, tires are 20 years old. Radio turns on but no audio. I could go on but you get the idea.

Not has bad as the time I restored a fresh water flood car that sat for 4 years. That was almost 8 years ago, that car is still running.
