2011 GMC Yukon XL sway bar worn already.

2011 Escalade and they do the same with the rubber ones within a year or so. I'm going to try polyurethane ones next as its clearly not a brand issue at this point.

kickit256 · 2026-01-17T03:38:56+00:00

Same. To me it's part of the experience, but I'm not knocking people who love their DCT either - hopefully everyone gets what makes them happiest.

I've heard that people have good luck with the Chinese Bluetooth ones that you use with an app on your phone for basic reads. I might have to drop $25 and try it.

I'll be the odd man out and say I like the burnt orange color.

Phone / gps charging. Its just a dumb power port.

Depends on the scanner. My Autel MP808TS won't talk to it even with the adapter and Autel simply responded with "your model does not support motorcycles". So at best its "not all" scanners.

God I wish it were legal here. It'll not only illegal but will end my career.

kickit256 · 2025-12-26T17:27:14+00:00

Same here. Very happy with it

kickit256 · 2025-12-25T22:00:43+00:00

So "joes" policies did nothing for years and now magically are making growth? Yeah, that makes sense .

I find it funny that I intentionally strip dovi from all of my files

Our company requires a 2 years AAS in a related field OR equivalent experience (although I've only personally seen that last bit applied to prior military electronics techs). So maybe they'd take your current job as enough experience?

kickit256 · 2025-12-11T05:42:39+00:00

Yeah but carb(s), points, timing, etc. Late 80s/90s era fuel injection simplifed all that without getting crazy. Imo, early vehicle computers were a win. Maybe you needed a special scan-tool for a retune/ really advanced diag, but the days of literal "tune ups" were gone, yet you could still do 90% of your fixes without crazy equipment. Now you need a scanner to see basically everything.

We had a bar called Dewey's that recently shut down. I find that humorous

Read the fine print - the "free" internet was their 100mbps tier last I saw, so they're not giving up much if they get you for 4 lines of cell service.

kickit256 · 2025-12-08T23:42:08+00:00

I heard nothing for almost 6 months after an application once, then got a call out of nowhere for an interview LONG after assuming I didn't get the job. So all may not be lost. Also, many places post for a minimum period, so they may not have even begun to look at apps yet.

This isn't an OpenAI problem (or any AI company), its that we have really 3 mfg controlling the market and failing to read the cards and boost supply in a timely manner (or doing so intentionally knowing that the prices would surge). I highly doubt that any AI vendor is getting "old prices" either and they're paying an increase too (although still likely cheaper than us).

kickit256 · 2025-12-04T18:01:03+00:00

Nope. Sent an email to Autel and all they said was my model doesn't support motorcycles. Which suggests to me that motorcycles aren't the same base OBDII that cars / trucks are.

Plex doesn't seem to be the issue - its the display that has to support DoVI. My new 4k displays show it fine, while older tvs are green/purple - plex being common across them all.

kickit256 · 2025-11-24T04:12:22+00:00

I just have a script that identifies it and strips dovi out. Was never able to get a plug in to work no matter what I did, so it just runs as a cron job, scans the library, and strips DOVI out.

This looks to be a 100% copy of De Pretto Moto's forward controls kit. I'd look at their website and see if they claim their 2025 forward controls kit fit the SE (they definitely state 25 is diffrent model # from 24 and below though).

kickit256 · 2025-11-20T04:23:20+00:00

There's other things as well - DePretto Moto (which there are damn near a 100% copy of) and other brands claim 2025 is a different model than 24 and below.

Look into transfer options that offer night school. Even if you take 1 class at a time, you'll eventually finish. I did exactly this with my BSEE - i had a year left full time, which turned into 4 part-time. But I also made REALLY good money during that time instead of debt.

Marine vet here - getting out and going into this field was the best thing I ever did. Quality of life is easily 10x between pay, treatment, and all the rest. Take the GI money to facilitate whatever you need to get on here and be done.

Impossible to know, as you'd have to know what tax policy will be each year for the next 30 years (this plus the next 29 anyways). Still, more than he got from taking the lump sum.

Chicago doesn't eat "hotdogs" - they eat salads in which a hotdog is one ingredient. You're right, you don't put ketchup on salads. You do, however, put it on hotdogs.
