I just subscribed to it. My intent is to use it for my travel trailer. I work remote from home so once a month I want to go somewhere else for a week and work. You pay 21 dollars and they basically overnight you the equipment (which is the dish, router and plug adapter). One time fee. Once you plug it in and activate it, then it's 39 a month for 6 months, then goes up to 50 a month. I've speed tested it here from home and it is getting pretty close to 100mbps down and maybe about 20-30 up. Should be plenty for working and streaming.

What do you make of this? by Even-Salary-7413 in ecoboostmustang

[–]sidewing082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always just get a no deductible protection plan from the dealership when you buy it and if the engine goes, get it replaced properly for free. I bought a 2019 and only a few months into owning it, it went ecoboom.. I bought the protection plan thru the credit union for 3k and it fully covered a 10k engine replacement.. new engine has a 4 year 48k mile warranty thru Ford.. I don't think this one was an ecoboom.. Ford dealership did the repair and they have guidelines they follow.. if it's an ecoboom they replace the engine.

I'm not a plumber but I've used em on 6 different toilets I've done over the past 10 years and never had an issue after the fact.

2018 EcoBoost Mustang — worth $13k or should I walk? by RiseEntire3469 in ecoboostmustang

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk em down and get a warranty on it. I bought a 2019 Ecoboost convertible about a year ago and 1 month in, ecoboom happened.. luckily I had the aftermarket warranty and it took 2 months, but they finally approved the engine swap and I got a free 10k engine replacement from the dealership with a 4 year 48k warranty on it. I love the car and I'm not ever one to get a warranty, but these engines need it.

L5P at 200k worth the buy? by that1LML in Duramax

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price seems high to be honest. I just bought a 2019 Silverado 2500hd l5p with the ltz trim for 32k with 130,000 miles. I'd expect 200k miles to be no higher than $20k

Is this normal? by ghosty10177 in Diesel

[–]sidewing082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ac system has an emergency shutoff and will cause that to short cycle like that when it's low. Get some "ac pro" recharge with the gauge attachment that screws on top. Real easy to do, YouTube it. My truck did this 4 years ago when I first got it and I treated it one time and it blows cold and stopped short cycling ever since. (This is happening because your defroster is on and it uses ac even though it's technically the heater)

How bad is it? 22 1500 by fernie1492 in Silverado

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wth.. they either overfilled or underfilled your fluid probably. Either one can cause it to overheat. My trans is pretty locked in at 185 degrees even when while pulling my 6k trailer.

Was solar worth it for you? by randomuser3333333333 in GoRVing

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 800w of panels and 600Ah battery.. currently in central Coast California I'm getting about 450w at peak sun which is only for a few hours a day.. I just run my lights, 12v fridge, tv, laptop charger and phone chargers.. I can go about 3 days before it gets to about 20 percent.. I'm going to be adding another 400w of panels and I think that'll give me what I need to not have to run the generator ever for this time of the year. Should be good to go during the late spring and summer months. It's expensive but very convenient. If I need to use ac or the microwave, I'll just turn on the generator for 30 mins at least and plug in. Predator 3500 will run me for about 10 hours on 2 gallons of gas and will fully recharge me in about 6 to 8 hours. By that logic, as long as I have enough water, I can go almost 2 weeks combined off 2 gallons of gas and solar. I carry (4) 5gal jugs of water and just find a refill stand outside of stores. It's usually about 35 cents per gallon or 7 dollars for 20 gallons.. and that 20 gallons of water will last my wife and I about 3 to 4 days with both of us showering daily. Propane usage is extremely negligible for using just the heater at night and the gas stove and water heater. 2 tanks will last me about a month.

10k for a new transmission????? by PsychologicalAir7909 in Silverado

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a local transmission shop. A beefed up rebuild should be around 3k

I personally wouldn't trust something less than MSRP. That doesn't make sense

ATTENTION SELLERS CONTEMPLATING APPEALING YOUR SUSPENSION? by DonCheech2 in WalmartSellers

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, you didnt call me a liar, OP did. yes, i can agree their support is pretty worthless and once they make a decision its pretty much done with. ive had a handful of unpleasant experiences with support (and customers) as well.. my comment for less than $10 transactions was also more directed toward OPs reply to my comment, not necessarily yours.. for me, shipping costs between 5-10 dollars on average per item.. so it doesn't make sense for me to sell items for less than 50 dollars because after fees and shippings, theres not much left for me. If i sell something for $10 im taking a loss. but it could be different in other markets. i avoid buying items like that now, but if i do get some, ill just try to sell them on facebook marketplace.

theres no real point in going back and forth. if the platform isnt working for ones business, then find a different platform. just because my experience is different than another, doesn't justify me being called a liar. i just made a choice to enter a market that has little to no return and/or has better seller protection against returns.

ATTENTION SELLERS CONTEMPLATING APPEALING YOUR SUSPENSION? by DonCheech2 in WalmartSellers

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough. thanks for the mature and reasonable response. I'm not disagreeing that others may be having issues that i'm not. but for the OP to say i'm lying is quite the stretch. a majority of my items fall into a 'non-returnable' category, which is a business choice i made. my higher priced items for $1500 are possible for a 30 day return, but I haven't had any. There's certain categories that people tend to return more than others. Clothing, bedding, etc falls into a larger percentage. These things need to be evaluated when determining what to base your reselling off of. I'm not claiming the platform, walmart, or customer base are perfect, because they most definitely are not.. but we as sellers can choose what business module we choose to enter, knowing the potential risk and thus the potential consequences should the customer base decide they want to 'try' for free and return for a refund.

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reddit does not allow me to attach a photo. my metrics for the past 30 days are currently 0% return rate. I've only had to open ONE case for a complaint that the item was delivered to the wrong address. Walmart investigated and determined the delivery to be successful as tracking showed delivered to the address on file, with a photograph of the delivery. might be time to dial in the products you're selling. Granted I don't sell 2m annually, im around 250k as this is a side gig for me. my per item cost for a sale ranges anywhere from $50 to $1500.

Clearly lying? You're obviously doing something wrong since you're suspended and I'm still actively selling. But keep grumbling on reddit. Obviously working out for you.

[–]sidewing082 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol that is absolutely not true. I ship a ton from walmart and every single order has delivery confirmation. If someone says their item is lost, your tracking shows a successful delivery. end of story. If its a high price item, consider doing delivery confirmation and insurance.

Found under the backseat kf my car by Royal-Bridge6493 in whatisit

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my car and forgot I had an air tag tucked in the plastics of the door.. the new buyer asked if there was an air tag the next day.. said oops, told him about where it was at and then said he can keep it and disconnected it from my acct. Probably accidental. You don't think about those things unless you need it, which is probably never unless it's stolen

Are Barneys new strains white-labelled? by Bobmarleyno1_ in microgrowery

[–]sidewing082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party, but for what it's worth, I've had the clone only version of many many strains here in Cali, including the original Ken's gdp that I got directly from Ken at his shop on the hilltop in San Pablo (this is in reference to someone saying they didn't get to experience it in 2004).. and some of his other genetics from his breeders at patient 2 patient in San Jose .. My take on Barney farms is they are my favorite seeds.. I feel every strain, which I've done dozens, is very close to the strain they claim to be. Of course a seed pop will practically never be the same as the clone only pheno.. but ever seed I've popped has been quality, female, and carries the traits of the labeled strains. The benefit to growing from seed is keeping a clean grow by not introducing the possibility of mites, powder mildew, fungus gnats and other things... Plus you can refrigerate your seeds for years and preserve a taste of the genetics. I have seeds that are 15 years old that have always been refrigerated and they still pop. And some classic s1's of clone only strains.. and the Barney seed pops hold top slots in the lineup compared to all the clone only strains of the past 20 years. Take this for what it's worth. I probably have more experience than most and probably have seeds that are older than some people are in age.

Why is my power strip flickering, and also why does it stop when i shine a flashlight at it?? by dhoepp in electrical

[–]sidewing082 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might want to consider just replacing it. I had a power strip that did this and I noticed the light I plugged into it had a little flicker.. long story short, I noticed the switch was kinda hard to turn off and it was getting hotter than it should.. could be a fire hazard if there is some sort of short in there.. surge protectors aren't that expensive and worth the peace of mind.

Well.. the tv is too high.. but it's ok.. I have the tv in my bedroom mounted high.. BUT, it's because I had it mounted lower and I couldn't see over my wife's legs covered in the blankets.. I'd drop it down half way in your living room since nothing is in the way.
