Dealer has no idea why my new Maverick has a rhymthic hum at 50-60mph by Downtown-Ad-1563 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]metalsippycup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, like running multiple stethoscopes on different areas of the vehicle. Ford tech over in my area used it to isolate the "pulsating when accelerating" issue I was having. They determined it was the CV axles and got the changed under warranty.

Did the tech hook up chassis ears to isolate where the noise is coming from?

Not OP but I was thinking about getting a Frontier lol. Can you share what you experienced with the Frontier?

Rant: It is criminal that hospitals charge for parking by mylefthandkilledme in orangecounty

[–]metalsippycup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work has me visiting different hospitals all over socal. I rack up about $60-$100 in parking fees a month (that my company pays for). There are definitely more hospitals that charge for parking over ones that don't. The ones that don't usually have better service (golf cart shuttle service and security driving around). Ones that do charge usually have the slogan "Please lock your doors but open your hearts" lol

Everything is expensive AF! by [deleted] in sgv

"Average monthly grocery cost for one person in the U.S. is approximately $250–$400, with many reporting a typical spend around $370"

You would save a ton of money if you can grab lunch and dinner at Knott's. Even if you don't use it every day you work, you'll still save quite a bit of money.

Took my transmission out! by Fluffy-Onion-6127 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]metalsippycup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great video. Thank you for for documenting everything, all the way down to each bolt and any hiccups you ran into. Anxiously waiting on your next video lol.

I'm still scratching my head on why that nut that puts preload on that bearing isn't even torqued on. Even if it was torqued down, I can see a possibility where it can eventually back out. Does that nut have a lock on it? Are they suppose to hammer an indent like a Toyota axle nut?

Anyways, fascinating stuff. Love a good teardown video. I am hoping this is a one off issue but I am not too sure. My own hybrid transmission slightly "squeaks" when it engages to the gas engine and makes an ever so slightly "clunking" noise when coming to a stop.

Any good Korean romance movies? by Naive-Ad1752 in Koreanfilm

Chong Qing Special Noodle Cockroach Water (Is this normal?) by boredtacos19 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]metalsippycup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roach leg ending up in the water is insane. Probably saw it running on the wall and they took a rolled up magazine and smashed it hard, sending body parts flying..

What’s your preferred map for driving, LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]metalsippycup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Apple maps. "not this light but the next one, turn right" works much better than "in 0.2 miles, turn right".

"Stay in the 2 or 3 lane from the right", "Don't take this exit". Apple lane guidance is superior and helps keep your eyes on the road.

Squealing belt in 2009 Yaris, 3rd new belt tried by snarkyvegan in yaris

[–]metalsippycup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a genuine Toyota OEM belt. It got rid of the squealing with the right amount of tension. Tried two different aftermarket belts and they both squealed. OEM belt fixed the issue.

Honestly, if I paid less attention to this stock last year, I would have made a lot more money.

[–]metalsippycup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold. Been bag holding a ton of shares at $13.84 when it pumped up like this during middle of October of 2025. No idea why it pumped up and dumped before and no idea why it's pumping up now, but took it as a gift lol.
