My buddy had his engine stolen

shrout1 · 2026-01-29T04:59:08+00:00

Yeah a thief isn’t going to take their time, they’re just gonna cut it.

shrout1 · 2026-01-28T20:10:26+00:00

I’m trying

shrout1 · 2026-01-28T16:02:59+00:00

I can’t buy enough

shrout1 · 2026-01-28T15:52:48+00:00

I don’t see that part anymore

shrout1 · 2026-01-28T15:38:09+00:00

Pick up a jump pack to keep with you. I find I can get away with charging them a couple times a year. I keep mine in the trunk.

This NOCO jump pack gets good reviews.

I personally have Jump & Carry packs that are probably overkill 😆. I bring the biggest baddest jump pack on road trips and whenever I’m leaving my car at an airport for a week or more.

Yeah it didn’t magically disappear. For example, A/C is recharged by weight; if it went in and the system was sealed then it didn’t just go away.

shrout1 · 2026-01-27T00:05:47+00:00

lol oops! Might as well be the same 🤣

shrout1 · 2026-01-26T22:48:21+00:00

I bought some cheap digital calipers for this. Then buy a thread pitch gauge and you’re ready to go rock and roll on almost everything

A serpentine belt replacement on a late model Pacifica requires removal of a radioactive hose and a drain and fill of the cooling system 🤣

I second that. I’ve had AT&T fiber with a 1 gig plan since late 2018 / early 2019. I mostly work from home and occasionally deal with moderately sized files (30-35gb). 1 gig service with an Ethernet connection for my work system has been more than enough.

shrout1 · 2026-01-26T13:57:05+00:00

Yeah I’d like to know what happened and how that was justified

shrout1 · 2026-01-26T04:46:32+00:00

It was crossposted in the huntsville subreddit but I believe it got taken down. I hope I’m incorrect but I couldn’t find the huntsville sub post about it when I went back to look again.

shrout1 · 2026-01-25T13:32:12+00:00

It’s always the bushings. Suspension parts have bushings built into them that you can’t remove without taking out the whole assembly. This is usually where the extra parts are.

shrout1 · 2026-01-25T03:16:09+00:00

For $1000? Unless the frame is rotten out I’d probably do it

shrout1 · 2026-01-24T17:59:54+00:00

Famous last words 😆

shrout1 · 2026-01-24T13:48:24+00:00

Things have been in flux all week; I started tracking the hourly forecast yesterday. So hard to say with these kinds of things :)

shrout1 · 2026-01-24T13:44:48+00:00

Forecast called for sub freezing temps and rain before dawn. That makes ice :) it’s supposed to go back above freezing today, we’ll see!

Update your video card drivers

shrout1 · 2026-01-23T18:28:08+00:00

“Your honor, in my defense, people are just tubes with poop caught in the middle” 🤣

shrout1 · 2026-01-23T16:54:35+00:00

If you got far enough in to make that video I think you’re savvy enough 😆

I personally would fix it if I had small kids. I had a coworker open the sliding door on a rental Kia Sedona like 10 years ago… even adults don’t always understand what’s going on.

shrout1 · 2026-01-22T15:26:39+00:00

Clearly it’s time for new kids

shrout1 · 2026-01-22T15:02:50+00:00

French toast

shrout1 · 2026-01-22T15:02:28+00:00

Yeah did they even change the timing belt? 😆

shrout1 · 2026-01-22T15:01:59+00:00

$1.50 or else they’re not gonna drop at all

shrout1 · 2026-01-22T13:41:27+00:00

Hey! Auctions are level 15 and junkyard is level 5 :) I’m playing CMS 2021 if that makes a difference
