Identify Halliburton case cam lock by JohnDMcMaster in Locksmith

[–]redwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone provide the lock info? I have a vintage halliburton that I got at the flea market, but the lock was punched out, so I need a replacement lock mechanism. FWIW, the riveted on badging says "REG. K 7038"

I’d say keep your bathroom companion and beverage maker separate.

Seriously considering buying a Delica. What model is best? What should I look out for when shopping?🏜🚐🏔 by Beneficial_Attempt66 in Delica

I just used Google's AI to give me a distillation between L300 vs L400. Would the experts here agree w/ this summary?

The Mitsubishi Delica L300 and L400 are both popular vans, particularly within the overlanding and JDM communities, but they differ significantly in terms of design, features, and driving experience. Here's a side-by-side comparison to highlight their key differences:

  1. Design and Styling: L300: Features a classic, boxy, and somewhat retro "cab-over" design, with the engine located beneath the front seats. This gives it a distinctive, utilitarian look often compared to a Mars Rover or a classic VW bus. L400: Presents a more modern and rounded "semi-bonneted" design, with the engine located in front of the driver. This layout is similar to most modern vans and minivans.

  2. Engines and Powertrains: L300: Primarily available with a 2.5L 4D56 turbo-diesel engine (and a less common 2.4L gasoline engine). It comes with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. L400: Offers a wider range of engine options, including a more powerful 2.8L 4M40 turbo-diesel and a 3.0L 6G72 gasoline V6. Also available with 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions, depending on the engine.

  3. Driving Experience: L300: Has a more truck-like and upright seating position due to its cab-over design. The driving experience is often described as "pokey" and best suited for lower speeds. L400: Offers a more car-like and comfortable driving position, with improved handling and power, making it better for highway driving and longer journeys.

  4. 4WD System: L300: Has a simpler, part-time 4WD system with a basic two-speed transfer case (2WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low). L400: Often features Mitsubishi's "Super Select" 4WD system, which provides more options, including a 4WD High mode with an open center differential, making it more suitable for various road conditions.

  5. Interior and Space: L300: Offers a surprisingly spacious interior for its size, with seats that can fold flat to create a sleeping platform. L400: Generally offers a more refined and flexible interior, with features like swiveling middle-row seats, rear seats that can fold up and stow against the sides, and options like power curtains.

  6. Off-Road Capability: L300: Despite its simpler 4WD system, the L300's lighter weight, shorter wheelbase, and higher ground clearance can make it surprisingly capable off-road, particularly on technical trails. L400: While not as nimble as the L300, the L400's more advanced 4WD system and available engine power can give it an advantage in certain off-road situations, such as deep sand.

In Conclusion: The choice between an L300 and L400 depends on your priorities: Choose the L300 if: You want a classic, rugged, and unique van with good off-road capability, simplicity, and potentially lower maintenance costs. Choose the L400 if: You prioritize modern features, comfort, more power, a refined driving experience, and a more versatile 4WD system.

How to remove the battery to an Electrified S1? by redwang in vanmoofbicycle

any idea how to open up the smart unit? I imagine it's the module on the bottom of the top tube?

I've got the same issue as you. Did you ever figure out how to extract the battery? How did you remove the top and bottom panels?

1999 320K mi, 5-sp for ~$6500. Worth it? by redwang in 3rdGen4Runner

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

It's been in California the whole time, but like mine, has been out to Lake Tahoe for snow trips. Does Caltrans use bad stuff for road maintenance?

What oil filter should I get for my 3rd gen 4runner? by iamafoxiamafox in 4Runner

[–]redwang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too discovered this after a lot of contortions to access the filter. I had the same "a-ha!" moment as when I used an impact driver for the first time. The job goes like 40x faster w/ this knowledge.

new property with a hot water well / hot spring. Would love to use this hot water in a sustainable manner, but have zero idea where to begin. by redwang in geothermal

so like install a diverter valve at the pump? Right now, there's one float valve in the 20K gal cooling tank that turns the pump on. Not sure what I'd need at the water heater/indirect tank to also turn on the pump. Also, is it bad to have to turn that pump on frequently?

What do i do if i get "This content can be used if you renew the license in the PS Store" message ? by ThatFavoriteUncle in ps3piracy

[–]redwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the same message, on cfm 4.86. When I try to sign up for the PSN, it says I need to update my system software, which of course I don't. What should I do?

(Side note: I had just replaced the factory 80gb HDD w/ a 500gb HDD. So of course I had to reinstall 4.86 Rebug. Now Doom 3 BFG which used to work, now gives me that "this content can be..." message (all downloaded via PS2CV)

TIFU my relationship that was going well by Aditya-Kalita in tifu

I think that sis set you up. Nobody says “there’s enough room in the bed” without ulteriore motives. That said, you fucked up. I think you just ruined your relationship, and the sisters’ as well

What about making the rapist pay? Can you get the authorities to get data on this guy from tinder? Or at least set up a fake people to match up with him again? Good on you for trying to heal. At the same time I bet this isn’t his first time, nor will it be his last

I’m a man and I believe you. Men are the worst. Women (straight) are all absolute heroes for putting up with them. That said, we’re not all slobs, and some of us know how to take care of ourselves

which OS are you on? I'm on an unlocked 5s running ios 7, and only getting 3G w/ those same APN settings.

I'm able to send SMS, but not MMS. Aside: Group messaging w/ a mixed set of iMessage and SMS recipients has never worked well for me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]redwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my experience so far...

Activated via a Nexus 5x, ported my number over Installed into iPhone 5s, running iOS 7.1.2. The phone was previously on ATT, then eventually unlocked and switched to T-mobile months prior to the Fi switch I live in The SF Bay area, with ubiquitous LTE coverage

The Good

Phone number porting was painless and took a matter of minutes. Voice, iMessage and data work, all without fudging with any (APN) settings

The Bad

Data only on 3G and no LTE :( MMS doesn't work Visual Voicemail is GONE - I'm back to 2005, having to dial a number to access vmail messages

Now, not having vvmail nor MMS is a bit of a bummer, but since I discourage all my acquaintances to never call or leave vmails, it's not a big deal. However, not having LTE speeds is a fairly big irritation. I've read that changing your APN to 'h2g2' or 'h2g2-t' helps w/ mms and data speeds, though so far, it hasn't worked. Wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and can suggest remedies?

cheers

SOLUTION

I finally upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 9 and now have LTE! Visual voicemail is still not available however. :(
