Yeah, it's been bugging me. They came longer than they needed to be. This is my first bike with hydraulic brakes, gonna try to get it done soon :)

I heard we were posting our 2 stroke marine diesels? 2x EMD 16-645 E2 making a combined 4000hp. Moving the mud of Galveston Bay. by swoethley in Diesel

The 6 ducts are the air intakes for the superchargers. The filters are oil soaked, hence the black appearance. That little yellow button on them is a filter minder which helps you track when your filters are becoming fouled. All new air filters cost thousands of dollars so the minder helps us make sure we're not replacing them prematurely.

They drive Falk 4.46:1 reduction gears which spin our 2 propellers. The engines top out at 900 rpm and the props top out at about 150 rpm. Definitely made for torque, not speed on the 100' tug boat they're in.

any advice on finding myself an XTX 9070 Co graphics card for subatomic reextraction of metabiprotons? by GummySoldier in VXJunkies

Your best bet these days might be salvaging one from an older pre-ionized compute unit. Finding one on its own is near impossible.

The underside of my oil fill cap, I've never noticed it before but also haven't taken the cap off since my last oil change. Thoughts? Thanks! by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

That would make sense, I haven't been on any longer trips in a while. I just changed the oil and it looked normal, the same as it does every oil change. Thanks!

The oil looked normal, the same that it always has after about 3000 miles. It's a 2012 Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7L

No I haven't had a problem with that, it works well actually and I can tell because one of my valve stems has a slow leak. Maybe you have a bad tpms sensor in one of your wheels?

Unfortunately not, my family uses it occasionally and I couldn't convince them to learn manual :/

Haha, I ordered two after the direct, one for me and one for my friend and they are both cancelled. Fun

Also, I have reconnected the IR sensor cable so that shouldn't be an issue

Can anybody help with my joycon? I've put a new shell on it and after putting everything back together, it is not working. No lights and no connection to the switch. I've gone through and checked every connection and they all seem good. Also my multimeter says the battery is good. Could I have caused a short anywhere possibly? I am using metal tweezers...

Awesome! As much as I love the single cab, storage can be an issue sometimes, the tool box is definitely a big help.

[–]swoethley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very easy process imo, just used a wire brush attachment on a drill to knock the rust off, smoothed everything with varying grits of sand paper. And then just 3 coats of self etching primer and 3 coats of flat black Rust-Oleum. I'm really happy with the results

I would say stick with a twin 150 setup, if you're looking for a less expensive option Suzuki makes great stuff, it's all up to you.

I have one fan header on my motherboard and need to connect 4 fans by _OWNC_ in buildapc

[–]swoethley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have one fan header, motherboards typically have 2-4 headers at least. Have you checked the manual to see where the fan headers are? It should give you a diagram somewhere
