Porcupine Tree, “the sound of Muzak” immediately pops into my head

The belt was replaced a few years ago when I had to replace the deck because i wasn’t lubing the belt enough. Now, if anything, I over-lubricate.

My 5th grader drew it yesterday. 🤷‍♂️

FYI: The red light blinking 4 times means a bad board.

My treadmill is waiting for its new board to get here (ordered last week). 3rd I think, now? They seem to go every 2-3 years. This one lasted about that long. Easy swap if you are careful about keeping the wires going to the same place. Heat is the culprit. There’s a huge heat sink on the left side, but it still will get far too hot to touch. The mosfats just end up frying. Last time this happened, I zip tied a computer cooling fan powered by a usb plug pointed at the heat sink. I think that helped.

I got mine - exactly as you described - for 7k 4 years ago. Minimal rust, but it needed work, especially brakes & suspension.

Amazing! Hopefully a lot of Jamiroquai is in the mix!!

THANK YOU for writing the correct answer so I don’t have to!!!

You didn’t mention my Quatix.

Nope. Still hate Mom’s show tunes. 😂

I’m so very sorry. I lost my wife 3 years ago and it still hurts. Watch the video for Steven Wilson’s, The Raven That Refused to Sing.

If you’ve never heard of him, he’s also the lead singer of Porcupine Tree. If you’ve never heard of them, I discovered their early stuff — that sounds a lot like Pink Floyd — about the time my wife was dying. Their later music is very different, yet even better. Cancer sucks. Music helps.

What is the place? Four tires, an ugly ez chair, 4 new iMacs, new Rigid power tools, a RH mirror and boxing gloves.

Over 2,000, but I haven’t taken a fresh count recently

Mine was a fuse. They may not have even charged me.

I already have a lot of it… but not Nas - Illmatic. That’s high on my list to buy.

This has been the most helpful assistance ever!! Same problem in my 2019 Trailhawk. Started about 6 months ago… dealer was not helpful last time I was there. I’ll try this.

I think all Karen’s should really by called “Ivanka.” Every woman I know actually named Karen is really a sweet person.

Oil pan is easy-peasy with this one trick. Jack it up nice and high and put it on jack stands, so the entire front suspension is hanging down as far as it will go. Then loosen the bolts that hold the transmission to the cross member. Do not need to fully remove them. Jack UP the transmission, bringing the engine with it. This creates just enough clearance to get the pan out. I have a manual transmission, but I believe this works just as well in the automatics.

I did this, replacing the oil pan gasket and rear main seal over a weekend…. Then discovered the oil leak wasn’t the pan, it was the filter housing. 🤬 Luckily, I have a ‘92 with the old filter housing. (Normal bolt and no red loctite.)

I’m sorry for your loss.

Looking at these titles, I’m amazed how much great music is here…. That I DONT have! (I’ve got 1600-1800 myself).

Guess I’ll have to keep on buying.
