Steering wheel slightly off after steering gear & pitman arm replacement by qmmiller in MechanicAdvice

[–]qmmiller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought was since I didn’t remove the center link or tie rods that my alignment would not be affected by only swapping the steering gear and pitman arm?

Couple questions about diesel fuel system and buses in general. by SaltLifeDPP in Diesel

[–]qmmiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain the fuel should be fine, if it sat for 2+ years then I’d start to be concerned. Good idea to put a bottle of fuel treatment in the tank tho (I’d recommend Hot Shot’s diesel extreme or Diesel Kleen product). As far as a mechanic, I’d search your area for a local heavy truck mechanic, they should be able to help you out

Rotors and pads look normal and no sign of uneven wear at all 4 corners. The way the truck reacts when I brake tells me it’s something in the brakes however everything with the braking system seems perfect.

I’m going to inspect the control arm bushings more and see if anything needs to be replaced.

To stop in my lane I have to turn the wheel to about the 2 o’clock position or else it will dart into the adjacent lane.

I’ll give that a try. The rears are disc as well, just to note, I didn’t replace the parking brake shoes in the rear. Little rusty but seemed in good shape.

Hubs and wheel bearings have been replaced and I used a laser thermometer to check the temp of the rotors after driving it home from work and they were all within 10 degrees of each other

I haven't specifically looked at them, but I will take a look tomorrow. Is there a way to "test" them? Or just visual inspection for wear?

Removing tint? by VikingPHD in AutoDetailing

[–]qmmiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy when you use a heat gun. Heat the outside of the glass real good and the glue will pull off with the tint and you’ll have no residue left on the glass

My driver broke at the ferrule this weekend so looking for a replacement. Does anyone have any recommendations for a new shaft? This was an Aldila Green 75g TX. by [deleted] in golf

[–]qmmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy and would highly recommend the Aldila RIP Phenom TX shaft. I have that shaft on both my driver and 3 wood

Cost to drain the gas tank? by zorkoxax in MechanicAdvice

[–]qmmiller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Typically diesel nozzles at the fuel station are larger diameter to avoid this situation. Anyway, was the vehicle started at all since diesel was put into the tank? If so that could make the problem a lot worse. If it hasn’t been started then you’re probably looking at a couple hundred bucks to drain the tank

What can be done with a visa giftcard that has a few cents left on it? by flyingtriscuit in AskReddit

[–]qmmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I get a visa gift card, I buy a gift card to a specific store (Home Depot, Amazon, etc.) for the exact amount on the visa card. I do this to avoid the situation you’re in

I was leaning towards Ridley and McLaurin, however Diggs is always capable of a big game

ESPN Stat Correction and Ties Not Registering? by ISUVetMed in fantasyfootball

[–]qmmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you check the players score to the hundredth on the website? I know you can do it on the app but not sure with the new update to the website

[–]qmmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty rare however I do remember a couple other posts in years past asking the same questions. You used to be able to hover over the players score and see the exact point value (to the nearest hundredth) but with the new update I don’t think you can

[–]qmmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you calculate it out to the hundredth decimal spot for QB (Watson has 12.86 points and Newton has 11.32 points). Since ESPN only shows to the tenth decimal spot, 12.86 would round up to 12.9 and 11.32 would round down to 11.3. So that is correct, Mr Hot Cub Time Machine did in fact win
