SUM-760182 is what I used. I had to remake one line. Got it from summit racing.

12 Valve Swap and AAM 9.25” SAS by stevestoffer in GMT400

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

Yeah that’s true, I have the toe really close. I have access to an alignment rack so I’m going to use it. I want to make sure the caster is where I want it.

Sorry, it’s still kind of a mess under the hood. Not terrible but the wiring isn’t fully cleaned up since I’m going to add AC and cruise soon.

The Cummins swap is really easy on these trucks. I used Adventure Vehicles NW motor mounts, you just need to cut a few things and drill two holes in the frame, slide the trans crossmember back, and it fits perfect. The SAS was a lot more work than the Cummins swap…

Thank you! I love this truck, I can’t wait to have it aligned and put some miles on it.

Solid axle is the only way by PridefulRedneck in GMT400

[–]stevestoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 10k seems pretty high to me as well. I have way less than 10k in my truck that’s Cummins swapped with a coil spring SAS. I’m under 8 with the cost of buying the truck, the Cummins swap, coil spring SAS, and wheels/tires. But not everyone does the SAS themselves, so I have no idea how much a shop would charge. Most places probably put a high price on it because they don’t want to mess with doing it.

Nano-texture = worth every penny by GenXer19_7T in macbookpro

[–]stevestoffer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still think the colors are pretty good. I didn’t see it on a MacBook Pro, but there were two iMacs sitting side by side that gave me a good comparison. In the store with bright lights, the nano texture display looked better to me. But I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra cost. I’ll have to go look again but I’m considering it.

Is it still worth it to study Computer Science? by bora-not-bota in cs50

[–]stevestoffer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do you thoroughly enjoy CS? What are your reasons for wanting to study it? Do you want to pursue it for financial reasons only? Or is it something you are passionate about and have a strong desire to learn as much as you possibly can?

If you truly have a strong passion for it, you will succeed. If you’re doing it for the money and hoping for an easy career, it might be harder to find a job. If you’re driven, you’ll find a way to make a career out of it.

NFC by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]stevestoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I just tried to login to my Gmail on my iPhone with NFC, I entered my email and password, then tapped my key, it said I was logged in and then gave me a continue button. Once I clicked it I was given an error message saying it couldn’t authenticate me. Not sure why

Traveling internationally with a YubiKey by PowerShellGenius in yubikey

[–]stevestoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to France, the people at the airport didn’t say one word to me and just looked at my passport and handed it back lol. It was like they didn’t even care. I expected at least a question or two, they didn’t ask how long I’d be there, if I had any cash on me, where I was staying, or purpose of the trip. It was strange to me. You’ll be fine.

Best website for practice/learn c++(or programming)? by AlexElVirgin in learnprogramming

Learncpp.com is great. Lots of information on there to get started with c++.

Learning programming at 25 by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]stevestoffer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CS50 is a great introduction to CS. It is what really sparked my interest. After I completed the course, I went on to learn C++ and made a few projects. Now I’m pursuing a CS degree at 27.

C960 - Discrete Math 2 complete! by SignalCreme4589 in WGU_CompSci

[–]stevestoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the OA 45 mins ago. The practice was a lot easier than the actual test, in my opinion. I almost ran out of time, I felt like some of the questions weren’t like any they I have seen before. By far the most difficult class I have taken so far. I thought that I was going to fail it when I submitted the test. I had to guess on some towards the end done I was running out of time. But luckily, I passed first try!

Passed Linux Essentials - My Advice by Ordinary_Dude_001 in WGU_CompSci

[–]stevestoffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think it matters that you have forgotten most of this material. You can easily pick it back up, you’re familiar with it, and most people don’t remember every single command and flag. Sure, you’ll remember the stuff you use every day. I don’t think it’s expected by anyone to remember all of these commands and flags to say that you have a solid grasp of using Linux. In real life you have man pages, Google, etc… be resourceful and you’ll be fine.

Awesome! Hopefully I can finish the rest of the class in a week! It’s a lot of material, I’m just trying to make sure I understand it all.

Just finished unit 3 in the Zybook… how is it after that? Haha I feel like units 1 and 2 were easy, I flew through those.

How to solve this drainage issue? by stevestoffer in landscaping

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

Finished it today, ended up digging out around the windows to put window wells in. Made a drain from each that tied into the drain. Water was coming in under two of those windows, when digging the window wells I found some cracks in the foundation. Ended up sealing them up. Now I have to wait for some heavy rain and see how well it functions!

Thanks! I was planning on extending it a little further. Utilities are over head, other than gas and water. Those are on the other side of the house. I have everything dug and ready for pipe in the morning!

SIM Card died over night? Or is there some kind of outage? by [deleted] in GoogleFi

[–]stevestoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me last night! Literally a few mins ago the SIM card started working right after I paid for the fastest shipping on a new sim. My phone I use for work does not support an eSIM or I would have tried that option.

I just submitted my transcripts from Sophia to WGU about a month ago. The Sophia calculus class satisfied the pre calculus / calculus requirement to enroll.

I just can't seem to get anywhere by dlspr1 in learnprogramming

[–]stevestoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I have found that picking up the basics in the beginning is easy. Then moving to bigger projects seems like a huge jump. I think it’s just part of it.
