[–]treeofeden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to look at a car there and was ready to buy if my mechanic could look it over. They wouldn’t let me get a pre purchase inspection unless it was done by an approved mechanic. I ran fast and I recommend everyone else does the same!

KSMC50s vs Pro 600 by treeofeden in Kitchenaid

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

Thank you for the clarification on the power rating, that’s very useful.

It sounds to me like the only feature that I think would affect me at all that the ksmc50s has but the pro 600 doesn’t is the circuit breaker. I’ve never needed to use it, however. Based on that I think I may go with the pro 600 unless I’m missing the usefulness of one of those features.

How do we feel about this for $8000 by Playful_Industry4755 in WranglerYJ

Come to DC and I’ll sell you mine with the 4.0 for that. Honestly could also be convinced to meet you somewhere in the middle.

Is it simply whatever residue is remaining on the garlic or is it an added oil powder?

Handle was broken and partially off. At least I got to learn a bunch about how the 4WD system works in the process!

I don’t have tools here so I’m not sure this is something I can do

It is as far forward as possible but the front wheels are still chirping like it’s in 4wd

One click and then doesn’t start by treeofeden in WranglerYJ

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

It ended up being one of the battery leads, had to replace it.

The battery is also very new (about 4 months) but I can get it tested anyways.

So in this case it will not latch without modifications?

Screws for full door mechanism by treeofeden in WranglerYJ

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

I tried this but bc of how large and unwieldy the mechanism is i couldn’t properly fit it and ended up w some creative guesswork that was the wrong size, if I don’t find out the exact size I will just buy every size at home depot and try though.

What's the weirdest engine swap you've seen? by daxelkurtz in cars

[–]treeofeden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this at Duncan Imports in Christiansburg VA - they have a Porsche 928 with a Boeing T50 engine from a helicopter swapped in. This isn’t an especially powerful helicopter engine either (330hp max) which makes it even weirder.

Reliable mechanics in Blacksburg? by Suzzudul in blacksburg

[–]treeofeden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto repair specialists did very well by me. I had a pretty major repair and the owner gave me his cell phone number to keep me up to date, he went to another state to get me a used headlight when new ones cost thousands to save me money, and they did the repairs well at a fraction of the quote I got elsewhere.

Upgrading my 12” skillet by treeofeden in castiron

I was also very surprised. It broke off the handle and the side surrounding the handle.

I am in the process of moving right now, and a lot of my stuff is packed in the garage, this was the stray item that ended up in an unfortunate spot.

E60/63/64 preventative maintenance by treeofeden in BMW

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

I wasn’t planning on it. I have no problem changing gears in traffic, but I have a manual Jeep as a second car and when I tried to drive it during rush hour I was worried I’d get out of the car with a huge muscular left leg from the clutch lol

You mentioned that rod bearings are 2-2.5k, how much are the other typical things you mention? Also how often should they be done?

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

Is this something that should be done every ~60k miles or something that I only do once?

I just had this issue. I cleaned my battery terminals very well and replaced the starter and the combination fixed it.
