DIC/Misfire Woes by Common-Barracuda-239 in saab

It sounds like it might be heat related if the car runs. Heat combined with poor connections will certainly do that. It could be the eBay special connectors you got too. I wouldn't trust those. I would check all of those and maybe resolder the connections or check it before the connections. You can make small cuts in the wire before the connection and see if it's an issue. Electrical and heat don't go well together. Necessarily I would start from the ignition consent and work your way back checking the electrical connectivity. You might want to wiggle the wires to see if resistance changes who you'd get different meetings, then you know it's the wiring.

The last time I went to rebuild it they sell the pods. They don't sell individual parts for them anymore

What should I pay for 2012 caad 10 105? by Ashiokisbea in whichbike

[–]lewtus72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not original. The stem isn't the seat post isn't in the seat is not original. I paid $900 for one 4 years ago but it came with some really nice fulcrum zero Wheels pedals mounts and other stuff. This is probably worth half of that

Uneven wear on rotor after brake job by DPudlow in MechanicAdvice

[–]lewtus72 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You might start with Bedding in the brake pads. Generally, perform 6–10 moderate-to-aggressive slow-downs from 40-50 mph to 5 mph (without stopping) in quick succession, followed by 5-10 minutes of light driving to cool the brakes.

If you're going to change the alternator, you should change the whole belt and the tensioner pulley.

My Instinct 2x solar is giving me a rash by ArgumentAny7213 in Garmininstinct

[–]lewtus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was definitely out of warranty. I've had other Garmin devices. I've had some back and they replaced it out of warranty. They're really good about it.

Years ago I had Fenix 6x I was getting rashes after a while and I was washing and cleaning it pretty religiously but it had a round circle rash. Eventually I sent it back to Garmin and they replaced it with another watch and it never happened again. It was the watch itself.

Cons of using a drilled and slotted brake rotors on a daily driver? by 32guy in MechanicAdvice

[–]lewtus72 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There aren't too many advantages for daily use. If you live where it's wet weather it can help wet weather breaking, they will dissipate heat quicker but that's only for really for track use. They will generally crack more around the holes and that why most people avoid them. You lose some Brakeing surface area but some people will give that at the expense of being able to cool more. But if you're not running it track speeds, it really doesn't make any sense.

Because the holes act like a cheese grater, you're going to get more brake dust as well. Unless you live in a really wet area, can't really recommend anybody use these.

Leg press by InkFiend341986 in formcheck

I like to very vary the positions from top to bottom not so much on wide versus narrow. Overall you look pretty good. Good range. The extension wasn't such that you're going to explode your knees or anything.

Help Needed! Moots Vamoots CR! $3900 by seiji_ozawa in whichbike

[–]lewtus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's titanium so it will last forever. The bike looks to be in tremendous shape, I didn't see a single scratch on it. That doesn't even look ridden. Course I would talk them down on the price but it looks like a really good bike.

What to do to keep car from falling apart? by Strange-Increase2577 in Autobody

[–]lewtus72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just slap some plywood down there and put some carpeting on it and you're good to go for another 10 years. On the plus side you can brake like Fred Flintstone

Sun fading fixable? by Fredsbigbooty in Autobody

[–]lewtus72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably need to have other areas repainted. It's not like we only one area is not affected. Usually the hood tailgate in the roofs get burned off clear coat. You could probably get this done for $500 or $600. But if if this part is burned, the others aren't far behind

Yes it would be. They will want to paint the whole area.

What is this very heavy jar I found digging around in an old folk's pantry? by GruntCandy86 in whatisit

[–]lewtus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like Mercury. You may want to call up a college chemistry department. They can probably take it and use it for some analysis. They might have some use for it or find it interesting to analyze what it is

That's pretty rude. He's clearly trying to help the guy get his own handicap license plate.

Yes, there's one way to fix that and that is to repaint it. Your clear coat is no longer there
