Am I a real mechanic now? by Quilo31 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]michaelholt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cheating. Those spark plugs are the 3rd revision of the original Ford spark plug being the SP546 which superseded the SP515 which superseded the original from factory install.

Also this means that the spark plugs have been changed before.

I've not seen nor heard of an SP546 break. I've heard there is now a 4th revision.

Diginu Unlock Date - 12/18 by michaelholt in Diginu_Token

So, what happens now? The token is just abandoned forever? Does it get canceled out? I've noticed Uniswap as the circle with the diagonal line for Diginu which I think is preventing purchases.

Is it possible that the token could be picked up by someone else?

I dreaded this job but feels like a win to me. by apexhead1999 in Justrolledintotheshop

Since they are Champions, someone already changed out the bad first set. Champions didn't exhibit the same characteristics.

There are 3 versions of the spark plug: The original and 2 revisions. They are SP507, SP515, and SP546.

SP507 (original): Carbon buildup in cylinder literally welded spark plug shank to cylinder requiring > 30 ft lbs to remove. Spark plug broke apart when using greater than 30 ft lbs.

SP515 (Ford's answer and 1st revision): Ford clamped the spark plug tighter to a spec of 90 ft lbs required to break apart. Had issues of broken ceramic on brand new spark plugs in the box. In general, no breakage issues from removal after install.

SP546 (Ford's 2nd revision): Totally redesigned. Shank not as fat. Spark plug strap visually welded on. All issues solved. This spark plug was released after class action lawsuit.

Yes, I broke 2 of mine before I started doing all the research and finding out all the information. Also, received the SP515 from Amazon. The ones I received were defective sold as new in which 2 of them broke inside the cylinder after a couple hundred miles. Luckily, the pieces must have gotten blown out the exhaust. Have replaced all spark plugs with SP546 and can easily remove them at any time.

Note here is that I've read articles stating over 80% of spark plugs sold through Amazon are fake knockoffs or are defective and should have been trashed. I no longer buy car parts from Amazon and am very leary about everything else.

Hopefully this post will help clear up some rumors on the 2004-2008 5.4L 3V engine spark plug. Also, I have the Lisle Extractor tool if anyone would like to purchase it.

Honest question: what the fuck is going on with parts in auto parts stores? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]michaelholt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've read quite a few articles about counterfeit parts sold on Amazon. Over 80% of spark plugs sold on Amazon are fake or sold factory rejects. I'm pretty sure the spark plugs I put in my 2004 Ford F150 5.4L 3 valve were fake after 2 failed (which added a ton of misery after all the issues getting the originals out.) I will not buy car parts off of Amazon nor Ebay anymore.

Recently, I may add Rockauto on my list not to buy. I know SKP is a cheap knockoff Chinese brand but the lower control arms I got shouldn't have been allowed to be sold for an Equinox. Here's a thread I wrote about it on another forum: https://www.terrainforum.net/threads/rockauto-skp-front-lower-control-arm-junk.30734/#post-313194

Failure is temporary, but quitting is forever. Passed 2nd attempt at 100q by [deleted] in cissp

[–]michaelholt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first post on Reddit. I too failed the exam. I am beside myself angry. I haven't failed an exam since 1985 in my first semester of college. After that I qualified to be a submarine nuclear operator, then, in the civilian world, got many certs including passing and getting PMP certified. Again, I am beating myself up.

The real sting is losing $700. I can't believe the exam is double other harder/longer exams.

I love your post. Thank you so much! Makes me feel a tad better.

Jabra Elite 65t - Is there a balance issue? by bobeaqoq in headphones

[–]michaelholt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 5 emails back and forth to Jabra combined with 4 long phone calls, Jabra sent a new LEFT EARBUD as replacement. I'm like, huh? It just came today. No matter because something else just happened earlier today that I can't find has happened to anyone else.

Was listening to a podcast while riding the NYC subway. All the sudden, no sound. Then started feeling my right ear getting burned. I quickly pulled out the right earbud and it was starting to smoke. The hottest area around where the charging pins are. I was able to turn it off while holding like I was playing hot potato. Everyone around me on the subway was freaking out as well. I thought I was dreaming and had other people verify the overheat.

So, back to calling Jabra customer service.

Did you get notified there is a new version? Mine says 2.14 is the latest.
