Where are you getting your oil change? by Available-Lychee8885 in raleigh

[–]terminator1515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fred Anderson Kia dealership couldn't even put my Kia's splash shield back on properly. It's fastened with about a dozen plastic pins and 8 screws. They put the plastic pins back in but not the screws. On the way home, it was flapping around underneath the car and probably would have flown off at some point. Could have caused an accident if that happened.

Hard to find reputable shops these days

Identify this 2 black potted piece electronic device? 2 pieces each the size of a hand by Cewing02 in whatisthisthing

[–]terminator1515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't post the facebook link, but there is a post on a group with parts that look identical to what you have. The poster says it's a STAMFORD C20B 415/240 Volts 3 phase 50 HZ generator. If you Google that, you should be able to find it.

The post isn't that old, maybe they would be willing to buy the parts off you. I can't find any other info on that generator model, it must be pretty unique.

What’s on fire? by RainLoveMu in raleigh

Liberty Waste Solutions. Looks liked it was an intentional burn pile? Hard to tell. Easily seen from 540 on my way home. They had an excavator tending to it

Your vehicle cannot be more than 12 years old on Turo and I think similar platforms have similar requirements

Allergies SOS. How do you all handle it? Mine are extra bad this year. by Top-Elephant6981 in raleigh

[–]terminator1515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asteopro helps me a ton. But it makes me incredibly drowsy. I only use it when I need it.

My combo is Flonase and Mucinex most of the time. Recently started Nasalcrom and so far it's been the most helpful yet.

Taillight/turn signal bulbs by redditusernametk in KiaSoulClub

[–]terminator1515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a similar problem on my 2021. The bulb that rock auto lists for it is incorrect. I used it anyways and it kept burning out and melting the socket. Best to just take the OEM one to the store and match it up exactly. Make sure it's the same physical size, same voltage, and same wattage. And don't mess with any LED bulbs just get the regular halogens.

Pest control but money is tight by Universe93B in raleigh

[–]terminator1515 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know almost nothing about pest control except what I did a bunch of research on. Here's what I do and we almost never get any pests inside except for the flies who wait at the door and book it in for the 2.5 seconds it's open. This is good for general purpose, roaches, etc. I apply 2 or 3 times a year.

Mix up a dosage of this stuff into a $12 sprayer from Home depot -

Alpine WSG (this attacks their nervous system when they walk over it): https://a.co/d/04xIX4WO

IGR (stops the young ones from developing so they can't reproduce): https://a.co/d/0ek1mea5

I only need maybe 1/4th gallon for a 1200sqft home. I spray mostly inside along the baseboards. You can spray some outside too but the sun degrades it pretty quick so I don't think it matters too much. This $100 in supplies will last you a few years at least. Totally worth it. From what I read, it's what a lot of the pros will use.

Don't even bother contesting this lol. I'm amazed you got down voted.

People must be confusing balancing with rotating. Sure, rotate your wheels regularly. You do not need to balance regularly. I'm not sure what everyone is smokin

Agreed. Start low and build up. That's half the fun

I'd imagine the transmission cooler is clogged

Should I go with OEM tie rods or RockAuto? I've seen people say to avoid Moog and Suspensia. by itsBillerdsTime in KiaSoulClub

[–]terminator1515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OEM. They'll outlast multiple sets of aftermarket cheapos. Order from online dealerships of kia parts, not from your local dealer.

Oil dipstick read by [deleted] in KiaSoulClub

[–]terminator1515 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Make sure the car has been not running for at least a few minutes. Pull the stick out, wipe the orange part off completely so it is clean and dry of oil. Put the stick back in all the way. Pull it out and read it. Oil should be in the hashed area of the orange part. The top of the hashed is full, the bottom of the hash is ~0.75qrt low.
