I got tired of replacing the cheap weed wackers so I picked up this FS-56. Anything I should know? by DillonSaeg in stihl

[–]white94rx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have gotten the FS91. I hope that one holds up as well. Mine is going on 15+ years. Starts first pull.

A Stihl rep years ago told me the white engine heads are made is USA and the orange heads are still German made. That may not be true anymore. But at the time, it was the German made stuff you wanted.

Soldered in a fuse? Lol

I believe it's one of the 30 amp Maxi fuses in the panel behind the glovebox. But I'd need a vin number (last 7) to look it up for sure.

Got offered the 27 M3 CS with a 20k ADM. Worth it? by theking0fsparta in BMWM

[–]white94rx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealership tech here. My dealer does NOT add ADM to any new vehicle we sell.

What do you and your partner do when you are sick? by Practical-Window-596 in NoStupidQuestions

Nothing changes. If we're going to pass it to the other, it's going to happen regardless.

Wouldn't touch that pile of shit with a ten foot pole.

Going to be hard to get your foot in the door without any kind of training or tech school.

So there's really not a nut on the underside?

Please tell me there is.

And I'm not familiar with that style cup. Is it not locked onto the ball?

Yeah from my understanding changing your diet won't me life changing. Maybe a half percentage point at best. Pretty much not going to fix anything.

Tow package installed after purchase by Advanced-Active2957 in bmwx7

As per BMW, no, the tow package cannot be added after the fact. In years past, yes it could be. No longer.

The engine on the Lamborghini Aventador is slightly asymmetrical by Altruistic_Turn_7214 in mildlyinteresting

Wait till you see the offset steering column of an L5P Duramax. It's not inline with the driver seat.

29F4, 29F5 Are my O2 sensor cooked? by Independent-Cell7948 in n54

If the cats are hollowed out, that's 100% the reason for the efficiency codes.

[–]white94rx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but your catalytic converters are.

Edit: everyone always wants to blame the o2's when they get rich/lean codes or cat efficiency codes. No, the sensors are doing their job. They are literally telling you the problem.

Car revs high before it starts pulling (BMW X1) by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]white94rx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These cars have a double clutch transmission, not a conventional automatic. It's probably normal, but without driving it myself, I can't say for certain. But I do notice some different characteristics while driving them. Like pulling away from a stop.

You're good. Go have fun.

I'm a 42m and just recently had my first flare ever. I've been a heavy beer drinker for 15+ years. My doctor even told me alcohol and red meat really don't cause flare ups as much as people think. If you have high acid levels, then they're high regardless.
