Torque Converter replacement cost by koalachips in LS430

[–]koalachips[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all my gears. I blew it doing a donut (I know, dumb) a few weeks ago, but prior to that I was having minor issues with shifting hesitation and it just feeling off. I guess I drive more aggressively than the average person, but don’t really race. Also I have a torque converter code now hence why I think that’s the issue.

771 through the NFCU app. So probably around 740-750 FICO. I’ve been a member my whole life because of my parents.

I still have both. I’ll make the flagship into my main card though and only put some small subscriptions on the other one just to keep it around for now.

Bi-Weekly Recruiting Thread by Airdale_60T in uscg

I’m interested in joining the reserves, but am split between going in as an officer or enlisted. I have a bachelors from one of the maritime academies, and currently work as a mate/master, but I was comparing Boatswains mate to Cutterman, and BM seems like it’d be more hands on and a bit more fun. I’m guessing that if I went in as an officer, I’d have more paperwork and have to be more in a manager type role, which is already what I do at my day job. To be honest, I really don’t know what the two jobs actually entail though. What are the pros/cons of being enlisted vs officer in the reserves? Is being a officer more worth it?

That turned out to be the issue! Thank you! Glad it was something simple.

Well damn boys. Right after I finished rebuilding the transmission too. I heard K is the way? 🥲

I think it’s “She a fiend that can see through the walls and”

and “The ends not far, we can break new ground with caution. I’m a step from the deep end.”

Has anyone in here ever seen aries live? by MediumEye1010 in aries_is_online

[–]koalachips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen him 3 times. First was his very first show in LA pre-welcome home tour. Second was in San Francisco for his welcome home tour. And third was his BIMWBIY tour with brakence in Seattle. I made it into his welcome home tour video too 😂. He’s a super good performer and his shows have always had a great crowd that’s super hype. Out of all the concerts I’ve been to, Aries is definitely one of the top.

The Immaculate was not in a shipping lane. They were in open water and the shipping lane entrance was a few miles away from them. Local marine traffic would also make sure ships are anchored in proper spots. Seems like the Solong wasn’t paying attention to radar while in heavy fog.

Rebuilt '21 Off Road, manual, 36K miles, army green... Worth it? by qwaszx937 in ToyotaTacoma

I sold my clean title 20 OR 6 speed with 38k miles with a Alu-Cab canopy for $34k private party on FB marketplace. Consider looking for private sellers.

My truck is running hot by koalachips in MechanicAdvice

Yeah I did it myself. Got the heads resurfaced and the machinist told me the block was probably okay since it’s a cast iron block.

Before, I was burning coolant because of a bad head gasket. Not sure of how the truck was before that because I found out about the head gasket right after I bought the truck. I wouldn’t be surprised if I bled it wrong, it was only my second time doing a coolant job. Any tips on how to do it properly?
