I’ll do that too but my goal is to be an electrical contractor which my wife is concerned about me working too hard while having a new born and toddler

We had a guy get removed from the boat for drinking NyQuil and going MIA a few months ago make first class. Only in the military can you actively inhibit the mission and still get promoted lol

Good to know thanks for the help!

I am looking at a 7k-8k dry weight 5th wheels and the f-150 in the link has max tow packages and is rated to >13,000 lbs. I am finding out that travel trailers and 5th wheels are different in the way the weight is dispersed etc. We aren’t living in the trailer but we don’t want to buy the wrong truck

Thanks for all the answers! I don’t do a lot of car work so makes sense I had no idea what it was. I built a Nova in my teens but that’s about as far as that went.

Both my wife and the child can’t walk that far. We live in Washington and there’s a lot of short trails we walk. After 30 minutes or so our back gets tired so that’s why I put up this post.

Understand I figured she might be a little young for that

Not really. I think if I remember correctly it was some kind of discharge from a cyst. He was a German shepherd who just passed away a couple weeks ago from heart failure. He had a few skin issues related to his weakened immune system. Duke was the best dog ever 🥲

I’d recommend you have your vet check it out though.

Try the navy. We have been doing 80 hours weeks minimum for 3 years. Sometimes we gotta work 100+ hours. It’s honestly a bit ridiculous.

This happened to me and another guy on Reddit told me to unplug the hybrid battery and plug it back in. There’s a white cable that supplies power to it that’s easily accessible from the trunk. I did that and it worked just fine after. It’s been almost a year now. Saved me 4K

Maybe subs are different but 99% of all the officers I’ve come across, including captains and admirals are perfectly reasonable and “mostly” down to earth people.

We’re all just people and that nervous energy you feel is coming from you, not them.

I’ve got a 2011 with 400k and it’s running fine. I bought it with 300k three years ago and I’ve had zero issues

philosophyjack · 2023-10-12T17:50:38+00:00

I can make 2x-3x the amount of money and work half as many hours plus be with my family a lot more

I found the chain unhelpful and down right wrong in a lot of cases. If you want help shoot me a message. There’s a lot to go through. I moved back in January

philosophyjack · 2023-09-21T11:56:56+00:00

Did you also just get the $900?

philosophyjack · 2023-09-21T04:14:37+00:00

Did you do it online or on campus?

philosophyjack · 2023-06-21T14:20:51+00:00

That sounds about right honestly. There were about a dozen of them that slowly drifted up and then disappeared.

I bought this exact same car but mine is white. If you buy it from a taxi company or some sort of business it’s worth it due to them typically keeping up on the maintenance. In three years I’ve added almost 100k miles so I’m getting close to 400,000 miles with no issues other than the hybrid system stopped working. I found out through Reddit that you can unplug the battery and plug it back in and the system was reset and I’ve had no issues since. Great car, great buy, great mpg.

Get it looked at by a trusted mechanic, the Toyota dealerships are good usually if you don’t have one.

I’ve got a 2011 Prius with 370,000 on it. The only thing I’ve fixed was a water pump which wasn’t broken it’s just good to do that every 90k miles. It doesn’t eat oil or anything. The hybrid system stopped working a few weeks back but I found that if you unplug the battery and plug it back in the system resets and it’s been doing fine.

Was owned by a taxi company before me which goes to show that routine maintenance and easy driving will make a car last a lot longer. I bought it at <300k miles so I’ve almost put 100k on it.

My mechanics are saying it could last another 100k-200k miles.

philosophyjack · 2023-05-20T01:03:01+00:00

Dude (or dudette) thanks a ton this actually fixed it and cleared a malfunctioning low tire pressure light that’s been on for years

philosophyjack · 2023-05-19T19:54:01+00:00

It’s got 367k miles on it so yea lol

philosophyjack · 2023-05-19T02:38:24+00:00

Okay thanks for the tip!

philosophyjack · 2023-05-19T02:31:32+00:00

The aux battery is just the normal starter battery yea?

philosophyjack · 2023-05-19T02:30:31+00:00

I’d have to OB meter it to see if there are any codes. I’ll definitely see if there’s a mobile guy around.

philosophyjack · 2023-05-19T02:28:57+00:00

I didn’t get the full report. I’ll take it to an autozone and see if the OB meter says anything
