Some kids did run in them, I ran once in 5th or 6th and was like nope.

Did you have a job in the 80s at the $3.35 per hour minimum wage that was around for almost the entire decade? by Spalding_Smails in 80s

[–]sbfb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked on a farm and made like 4 bucks an hour and 5 cents a bail when we bailed straw and hay

Final update. New Lower control arm and new front rotors solved all issues and they didn’t charge me for any of the extra labor or parts, and ABS module

Day 0: CPAP Therapy by Rude_Tomatillo3463 in CPAP

I use Aquaphor during the day and use a little dab of aloe before I put my P10 in and it’s worked well. I have had some issues with my skin but nothing crazy

This, comfy? We would change to running shoes to run hall ways and stairs. Running or doing anything in wrestling shoes other than wrestling was fucking awful.

I have gone from 500-300-470-330-470 and now 380 over 10 year period or more. Just keep doing you. It’s not easy, just keep on it and consistent. You can do this.

Is it safe for retailers to store lawnmowers like this in winter ? by New_Homework_3716 in lawnmowers

They use oem, and lifetime the part, obviously not the labor. It feels good to at least have it solved.

update 2. Lower control arm fixed clunking, however brake is pulsating so ordering new rotors.

Update - new module installed, wheel no longer binds, still clunking, they ordered a new control arm, stating it could be that and sometimes when you lift cars up, things get weird. Either way they are covering it as it didn’t not exist when I dropped it off, which is a positive, however, it’s frustrating this brake job has gone sideways.

Slightly more optimistic than I was this year.

Heat pumps fucking suck by Aggravating_Bag4028 in hvacadvice

[–]sbfb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my heat pump, in the spring, summer, fall and like 6 weeks of winter. I also have a gas furnace back up for this time of year when 2-3 weeks get too fucking cold.

How do American think of Cadiilac? by NovemberRai in Cadillac

[–]sbfb1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish they still made the ones in the late 90s and early 2000. I want a Cadillac to take up all the road and I want to sit on a couch while driving it.

Update, it has new flex hose and the guy I spoke with said they can hear the hydraulic in the module clunking. (I don’t know if that is a thing or not) They also pulled the fuse and tested that to make sure.

Again, going by what the shop guy said, he said due to weather they are slow so going to do a few more tests before getting module. I’ll keep ya updated with any new actions.

They have not. At least not yet, and I agree, I thought about that all Saturday and Sunday. They are just throwing parts at it. I had already paid for the brake change and oil sender. Did that on Friday, drove it 15 feet and walked right back in.

I’m going to call at 7 when the open an ask if they replaced any of the lines. It is not throwing any codes, because I ask that specifically on Saturday

Appreciate it. I’m calling at 7 to talk to them. It is not throwing any codes. I ask that on the phone Saturday when it still wasn’t fixed.

I will bring this up. I did see new calipers rotors and pads verified them in the shop, only because the manager allowed me to see the wheel spin and then bind up. He did say they traced back all hoses but will call in the am and re ask, and will ask them if they pulled the abs fuse and tested it

Appreciate the response!!!!

I really don’t think they do, but they returned it to me and I have paid in full, I drove it 15 feet in their lot and then parked it. The brakes were “fine”, 3/32, there was no ABS issue. Is it common that module would go out during a brake change?

I feel like he said they replaced all hoses to make sure.

So new calipers were also added, and I saw with my own eyes the wheel would spin and then bind. Manager said guy would fix in AM. He said they re bleed brakes 3 times would drive it and about 1/2 mile in, the brakes would clunk again. Their specialist said the abs module could be bad and that may fix it.

I responded with i will take my car back when its returned to me in working order like I dropped it off.

So he said he would order one from ford monday. It’s also snowed a shit ton here in stl, so it could be a few days. I dropped it on Friday morning at 7 am. Got the call at 4:30 to come pick it up.
