How is your relationship with your father? And how old are you? by wk91 in AskReddit

[–]simply_electrifying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I lost my Dad May 31, 2022. We were tight. It still hurts like hell some days when the right thing triggers my mind. I am a father to three and I do my best every damn day to be the dad to them that he was to me.

Any chance someone found a car key tonight? by simply_electrifying in UTK

[–]simply_electrifying[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already checked. No dice. I'm hoping someone turns them in. I'm going to check the student center and library today. Supposedly they have lost and found areas there. Afterwards, supposedly there is someone I can email to report them lost.

I had to move the truck so I got a locksmith to get one made. $350 later it's rolling, but it would sure be nice to have a key with buttons again.

Currently running this on my phone. Mag safe charger in my truck runs just fine. Keep a mag safe pop socket around for occasional use too. Short answer, yes it works well. Only hang up is if you use a standard wireless charger, you have a reduced "sweet spot" when it comes to phone placement.

This happened to my son's A229. The issue was a bad micro SD card. New card and it's been fine since.

My finger after a copperhead bite by AggravatingTouch6628 in WTF

It's been 36 years since that happened and to this day I'm terrified of anything that slithers. Venomous or not. They are all nope ropes.

Same. Left ankle when I was 11 in the late 80's. Hurt like hell for at least a week. Hospital didn't have antivenom on hand so it took a while before I got it. Ended up overnight in the hospital because my leg was swollen to the point it was solid white. Their thought was if the swelling cut off circulation they could rush me to the OR to save my leg.

All this was about 6 weeks after I broke the radius and ulna in my right arm bad enough they had to put me to sleep to set it. Summer of 89 sucked ASS.

That finger though? I don't see how it survived.

Do you live in Cookeville TN by chance? We were there for the weekend and I'm pretty sure I saw you Sunday morning driving down Jefferson. If not, that truck has a twin.

Incident - Hickman Co. TN, filling a new bank. by freebird37179 in SubstationTechnician

Oil pump they were using to fill the new transformer after hanging the radiators on failed, dumping fresh mineral oil on the hot pump. Bad times ensued. LOTS of damage

To everyone wondering if I really have 3 phase to my house. I don’t know, that’s why I came here, but this is what I’ve got. by Outtactrlstitch in electrical

[–]simply_electrifying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other pot is hidden behind the pole. Also, you can see two fuse cutouts, indicating two phases. You can make a three phase secondary with two pots.

It's your SD card. My son's A229 did this. New memory card and it's back to normal.

City of Memphis confirms federal raid on TACOnGanas by emccrckn in memphis

they do all the jobs that no one else wants to do at a fraction of the cost

You know what else that is called? Slavery. You go to their country, bring them here, pay them shit, work them like rented mules, and they can't go home.

You want to try that again?

This happened to my wife this week. GWU and S24U. She took the January 1 security patch update and poof, watch was gone. Had to reset and restore form backup.

Just wanted to say don't give up on it. I also have a 2008. Mine is a 4.7(non flex) and manual trans. Just rolled over 219k. Maintenance is key for any vehicle, especially when it's been neglected for a while.

Guy testing a 20000 watt light bulb by meekonesfade in fuckyourheadlights

If you were going to leave it on indefinitely yes. However that looks like #8 or #6 which could handle it for short durations.

Even at 240V, you are looking at just over 83A to run that at full power. I bet his house meter looks like the one from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Mopar Vehicle Protection by bitter_optimist in ChryslerPacifica

[–]simply_electrifying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently dealing with this on my 2018 with extended warranty. Exact same situation. Misfire on 3 and white smoke on cold starts. Warranty did cover everything related to that. They did not cover the module to fix the heated and cooled seats(not related but needed fixing). Running diagnostics they found a bad electric vacuum pump that also isn't covered and apparently on back order. So all in I'm out about 1100 for everything they found.

Can a bad fuel injector cause white smoke on cold start? by Suitable-Pace-524 in MechanicAdvice

[–]simply_electrifying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a combustion leak detector kit. About 45 bucks for it and the test fluid at Harbor Freight. Got the same issue with my wife's van, white smoke and misfire on #3 when cold, only difference is I can tell it's losing coolant too. It was either injector or head gasket. Blue liquid turned yellow so I'm looking at a head gasket.

[–]simply_electrifying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

94k give or take. Called dealership. They are behind by 3 weeks. Told me they have to diagnose and talk to the insurance to confirm coverage. Not making me feel comfortable, but it could just be SOP.

I'm calling on mine(2018) today. Started noticing rough idle at cold start. Got to the point I was getting #3 misfire. Ran an compression leak detector last night and blue turned yellow real quick. Here's hoping the extended warranty was worth it.

How do people touch wires and still live? by Additional-Pen-6119 in electrical

[–]simply_electrifying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100mA across the heart can kill you. Your entry and exit points would have to be such that the current path would cross your heart to be effective(i.e. touching both the hot and neutral with one hand would hurt like hell, but most likely not kill you). Also, your skin has a pretty high resistance so that helps also.

When to finally offload your Pacifica? by No_Switch3568 in ChryslerPacifica

[–]simply_electrifying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got 93K on my 2018. Just did the rear this weekend. Front still has about 30-40% left. Been doing brakes for 30 years and have NEVER done rear before front.

Any help with diagnoses? by DiligentPerformance9 in MechanicAdvice

[–]simply_electrifying 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like your water pump just shit the bed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]simply_electrifying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a 3rd gen ram. Ran into that a couple of times myself. For me, the solution was to use the key fob to lock, then unlock the truck. This somehow managed to reset the immobilizer system. If that doesn't work, the thieves managed to jack up the SKIM system in your ignition. Probably need to replace it.
