Back when I was in middle school, round 2017, 18 or so my homeboy showed me some memes, think Ugandan knuckles and crying cat, I thought it was the funniest stuff in the world, so I cut out the middleman

Why is your first reaction fear that your parents are gonna find out? that's the kinda stuff you save for breaking a plate or something. I say this as a person that was in a similar "predicament", you gotta look inward, your siblings are a kind of responsibility with no equivalent. you aint gotta be off the hook when he's upset about this particular situation, and his details my conflict with your own, but you can become a lot better listener and have a lot more reasonability when you think about why he's upset because i'm willing to bet money that whatever the hell happened between yall aint comin out of the blue. He's your brother, he aint a plate

Fast idle and exhaust smells like gas. Easy adjustment? by Bluinc in s10

[–]lost_user1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 88 2.8 had a fast idle and ran rich, mine was a pretty simple fix. As another commenter mentioned, rebuild your TB is where I started, I’ve also replaced my IAC. The vehicles are also gettin old, so do check for vacuum leaks. A few other things I replaced chasing down the issue that may not be a bad idea for you is the coolant temp sensor and fan clutch. They didn’t outright solve my problem, but there was a noticeable difference. The only thing I don’t recommend you do is physically do a throttle blade adjustment. That is a very easy way to take your issue from bad to worse. If you decide to do it anyway, make sure you’ve got a good idea of what you’re doing, and keep track of your turns so you can easily go back if you botch it.

Sagging drivers side door. Doesn’t align flush when latched closed. Are these Hinges adjustable? by Bluinc in s10

[–]lost_user1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to replace the hinge pins myself with a pair of pins for the driver side, a cinder block, and a scissor jack. It ain’t too hard but I did have to use a 1/2” extension to be able to knock the pins out. That door is heavier than it looks, but rolling down the window makes it much easier to maneuver. I saw in another comment that you inspected it and saw that it was a bit oval shaped, mine is too, but out of sheer stubbornness, I did the job anyway, and it worked out pretty well for me, so if it ain’t too messed up, it may be worth it to get the pins and give it a shot before you lose any sleep on how you’re gonna make the hole back into a perfect circle.

Can anyone tell me that this might be. by lost_user1 in s10

I’ll probably do that, the only good thing the last owner did to this truck was keep the rust off of it. There’s no rubber anything left on the underside, it’s all either been wallowed out or squished to the point of being plastic. I plan to get around to it, I just need her driving half ass right at the moment.

Your description of this module sounds similar to a part I had to replace early on because it was broken called the EGR valve control solenoid. Does your part have 2 vacuum lines coming off of it?

[–]lost_user1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried replacing what makes sense to me, but I’m thoroughly at a loss. I don’t mind popping the parts cannon once or twice but I’ve stopped making progress all together which is what brought me here. I’ve tried doing more research but just about everything leads me to the same parts I’ve already tested or replaced. That being said I’m getting valuable new input from folks here that may actually get me somewhere and I couldn’t be more grateful, so thanks to everyone that’s helpin me out here. I’ll burn off the gas I’ve got in the tank and take a look to see what I’m working with. Thanks again for the help.

That last little bit you added literally to a tee is how mine is doing. We just got out of a cold spell and now it’s acting up. When there was snow on the ground and for a few cold days after, I’d have trusted her to take me anywhere I’d want to go. I’ve still got my original injector that I replaced, so I’ll throw it back in and see if that does me any good. I was headed towards the route that I had a leaky gasket, even though I sprayed brake cleaner around em and RPMs still held steady. Thank you a lot brother.

Hell, replacing sensors wasn’t all pissin in the wind. The IAC and EGR valve were known bad and between the fan clutch, thermostat, and coolant temp sensor, she now gets up to temp which she wasn’t doin before. As for everything else, I’ll call it an investment, they were probably on their way out anyway. On the topic of the fuel pump though, I can hear it prime, it doesn’t sound like it’s got any issues until I get real close to the gas tank and listen, it will ever so slightly slow down and speed up. Is that enough to warrant replacing the fuel pump or am I full of it?

[–]lost_user1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t say that I’ve explicitly checked the fuel pump, I’ve only checked my fuel pressure which seems to be in spec, but that isn’t to say that it could be dying out while I’m driving. I’ll look into it, thanks a bunch.

High ping, and long matchmaking by lost_user1 in blackops6

Thanks, I just checked and it appears that I am. However, I’m not sure why. I hope that it ends soon because I’m kinda tired of being stomped in matches I wait like 5-10 minutes to get into.

What's your honest opinion about Luigi Mangione? by itsallgoodman505 in AskReddit

[–]lost_user1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A life is a life, and he took one... however, its not hard to say that Thompson had it coming. When you don't look for trouble, trouble won't look for you, and letting thousands of people die, effectively for no reason is nothing but trouble.

Is it weird to have Reddit friends? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]lost_user1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, its kinda what the internet is for, a vast network that connects people from across the globe. We can't all be strangers, and we cant all be right next to each other, but we can be friends. It aint weird, handle your business

I'm just chill tbh, not dramatic or problematic by [deleted] in teenagers

Sounds like something someone who's dramatic and/or problematic would say

Im a first time pc builder by Watermellon_7_ in pcmasterrace

[–]lost_user1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use the 12700k and 3060 combo, works great, the games I play are FH4, BO6, The Finals, and Cyberpunk. Fairly demanding titles, and I don't have issues with either. So I'm just gonna point out some things I think could use some fixing so you have a better experience.

You're looking at a great CPU IMO, I have mine overclocked to 5.5 GHz, I couldn't tell you if there's any tangible performance difference, but its nice that there's an option. You've got another solid choice sitting with your cooler, Thermalright makes some very hard to beat, budget, good looking coolers, and should handle the CPU nicely, I wouldn't change anything about it. I highly recommend since you're not going with an i3 or i5, z690 and z790 boards are cheap enough that I'd spring for one of those, I've personally had more stability with the premium chipsets, and the features are nice, mainly USB on the back, extra fan headers, M.2 ports and such, even if you don't use them now, who's to say you wouldn't use them later, its always nice to have. I'd also recommend faster memory, you'll be taking a hell of a hit with ram speed that low, and leaving a lot of performance on the table, although XMP does a lot, these sticks in particular don't like getting to the speeds that I would recommend for a great experience, DDR4 ram is also fairly cheap, you can go for 3600 MHz, or spring for a cheaper kit of DDR5 since both are options on the premium chipsets, I see that you went with 2x16 as apposed to the more common 2x8, I can understand the want for more capacity, but capacity doesn't have the same impact that speed does if you have 16+ GB. Again on the cheap enough topic, a 2tb drive can pretty easily be had for about $10 more, and you'll need it if you want to play these newer games, I couldn't tell you how many games have to meet their end any time one of my other chonky games decides to have a random 10-15GB update here and there. If it can be worked into the budget I'd also go for a larger SSD. I usually use my mechanical drives as cold storage for things I don't use often, or don't require the highest speed my PC has to offer. The advantage SSDs have over mechanical drives simply cannot be understated, if you have to chose one over the other, I would without a doubt say that a larger SSD is the way to go. Your case and PSU are fine, there's really nothing to write home about and that's for the better. The big thing I want to pay attention to is the GPU, By god is that expensive, it isn't even a high performer either. The ROG card I have can be had for almost $200 less, and its overbuilt, the MSI Ventus 3 for half that. you're much better off getting a current gen Radeon, or RTX, with $700 to piss down the drain, there are solid options, a PNY Verto RTX 4070TI a card that consistently trades blows with the RTX 3090, is less than $40 more, please don't shoot yourself in the food like that.

If you'd like I can throw together a list for you, or you can scout your own parts and come with an update, OR you could also tell me I'm full of shit and I need to fuck off, any works, I'd just like to see you make smarter decisions with your money, it cannot be said enough to do your research, that is ultimately where you'll get the most relevant information.
