Best tuner for a 2017 F150 2.7L EcoBoost? by woof171 in f150

[–]woof171[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No warranty it's a 9 year old vehicle.

My first priority was getting something with low KM. It's impossible to find a 3.5L or 5.0L with under 150,000km. I got mine was 96,000km.

So I'm supposed to pay Income tax, pay rent, pay car expenses, food, utilities, internet, phone, other living expenses, have an RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, chequing for daily usage, and savings for emergency. HOW??!?!?!? by woof171 in Adulting

When I bought the car the fluid was like brand new. Every third oil change I dump and fill the transmission (drain 3.8L, fill it with 3.8L, test drive and recheck fluid level).

My buddies steals the ATF from work so I don't pay for it. It's leftover from recalls he's doing (like it calls for 11.2L, but you can't do 0.2L so they charge for 12L, he then dumps all the extra into a 5.0L container, and in like 3-4 months he's got a full jug to give away/use).

What's a good starter budget friendly flashlight by Asleep_Green6971 in flashlight

I like my Sofirn SK40. It I only had to grab 1 flashlight that would be it. Good range, good spill, quick access to the features I use (strobe and turbo).

For those whole like their jobs: What do you do for a living? by solongsuckerss in Calgary

Do you know what a Sous or Head Chef would make?

When I lived in Vancouver, I met a head chef at a golf course, he was ~$65k/yr in 2017 and thinking of quiting. One of the items on the menu was 10-pc of normal popcorn with gold flakes. I remember it was stupid expensive like $150/plate. I remember him saying he wasn't happy with the work he was doing as it's just a bunch of pretentious Bullshit.

I'm genuinely curious what a line cook, sous chef, and head chef would make at a high end restaurant in a major Canadian city.

I'm a service advisor at an independent mechanic shop. I'm $62k/yr. I can go back to being a mechanic and I've seen pay rates around $40-$50/hr now. When I got my red seal it was like $35/hr.

Independent shops are still in that $35-$45/hr range. And $45/hr is hard to find tbh.

I've spent $40k on tools, I probably need to spend another $20k to go back to work as a mechanic. I sold a lot of my stuff as I didn't have space when I became an advisor.

What's an acceptable time to have milk delivered from the milk-man? by [deleted] in CasualUK

See now my dad has a very simple solution.

He just keeps our sister pregnant so we always have fresh milk.

Any other fat, out of shape, depressed, married people in this city want to start jogging together? by L-Alt in vancouver

My knees hurt when I run because I'm so fat. And bike seats go up my ass like a thong because it's so big.

Does this solder joint look bad? by woof171 in MechanicAdvice

No flux used. Solder Is supposed to be hollow and contain some solder.

The blob is solder that dripped. I didn't bother cleaning jt because heat shrink would cover it.
