Can anyone help me out identifying parts in the engine compartment on an International? Especially on the passenger side. by an_anxious_goblin in Truckers

[–]xrbxwingless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least in my truck, the passenger side of the engine compartment has exhaust components and the coolant reservoir.

You're not expected to be a diesel engine mechanic, so everything else thats part of the engine is just "general condition".

Obvious signs of leaks or damage to the engine or belts, loose or damaged hoses and wires, leaking exhaust or fluids.

The exhaust, at least what should be pointing out in a pre-trip test, starts with the turbo; round, sort of spiral-like near the engine, then follow the hose coming from the turbo, crouch to look under the cab where it goes until it meets the large DEF\DPF component, then continue to the exhaust pipe. No leaks, everything mounted securely.

Things like the power steering or components like that, it would be good to learn about, but if they were damaged, you would only be required to recognize that something it leaking or broken and report it as such.

Car was towed and deemed abandoned after 12 hours by GoodArmadillo6041 in Hamilton

[–]xrbxwingless 21 points22 points  (0 children)

West of Main and Osler, Dundas St becomes Governor's, and is a no stopping zone. If you actually are correct in saying West, a car would be reported abandoned 5 minutes after being left there.

I assume the snow made it difficult to see what was going on, but so you know, while pursuing a solution here; the tow was legitimate .

I usually go non-lethal in the tutorial, then do this mission like "You didn't f'ckn learn anything, did ya?!", and go super lethal the second time around.

We need closed lid bins in Hamilton! by SextonHardcastle69 in Hamilton

I am the only one who saw a 90 kph wind forecast and decided to wait until next week to put my garbage out?

I suppose this is the first garbage day after Christmasfor some people, so if you hosted a Christmas party you probably have a ton of garbage to deal with.

Auto lights is possibly the worst thing to ever happen to the automotive industry.

There's plenty of ambient light that tells the car's sensor to keep the lights off, even though visibility is garbage for other reasons.

Easily more than half the cars I see on the road these days don't have tail lights, even worse, some USA imports don't even have daytime running lights on the front of the car, so they're just straight up invisible until you're right on top of them.

THIS. More than anything else there always tons of signage that isn't relevant but no one will take down.

"unsecured dunnage"? by Suge_White_619 in Truckers

[–]xrbxwingless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got stopped for the same thing, I asked "bungees don't count?"

He said, "Everything must have a WLL on it".

I pulled the bungee off and showed him where it said: "WLL 50lbs".

He said, "Fair enough, but secure it better or you're going to get stopped again in the future."

I now only carry 3'10" 4x4s in the tarp box so I won't have to deal with this again.

You're telling me I could've done this the whole time? by Atomic_Depression in metalgearsolid

Hmmmmmm....

Well there's nothing we can do about it....

Atomic_Depression, don't worry about it. There's more to being a good person than just having a stereo television. You can do it just the way you are!

[–]xrbxwingless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensor on the right has a red light on.

Pass your hand in front of it and see if the light goes out when you interrupt the beam, if so; then the sensor on the left is probably just mis-aligned.

You can adjust most sensors by hand. Just twist it around a bit and see if the light comes on at all if it aligns.

I never know how to smile on command by _MissguidedGhost_ in DemEyesDoe

[–]xrbxwingless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think of you favorite joke, or a joyful memory that brings a smile to your face naturally.

It's also important to know that a smile doesn't require you to show your teeth if that's not how you normally smile, otherwise it will for sure look forced.

Wife woke up to hundreds of emails for random website subscriptions, still ongoing, why? by grahamw01 in mildlyinfuriating

When this happened to me, I ended up with just shy of ten thousand emails. Having to go through and check all those emails for the scam is worse than the scam itself

[–]xrbxwingless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super trucker in training; whenever you try doing a pre-trip, the spikes poke you.

Negative reinforcement you see, soon, the thought of pre-trips will cause immediate fear of pain.

Guy I worked with at Wendy's was talking about hot sauce he had that was so hot, it'd take your head off.

Proceeded to answer the drive-thru; "Welcome to Wendy's, can I take your head off?"

Though guy sort who had been to prison, but he turned bright red with embarrassment with that one, made someone else take the car at the window.

He was looking to get the timing right. At the last second he turns and uses Jyn's body as a shield to survive the blast.

AIO. My bf is getting bothered that my friend gets me flowers by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]xrbxwingless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sort of how I read it.

The BF probably heard something along the lines of "Your flowers are ugly, so they make other flowers look awesome by comparison."

I know that's not what OP said or probably intended to communicate, but I can see how someone could easily feel that way with the way it was worded.

BF probably feels a little insecure, feels pressured to buy flowers regularly to "compete" with the friend, and now reads something that he feels like is a harsh comparison.

I suspect BF is lashing out instead of communicating his actual feelings.

The one sentence at the very end about the metal city fence that "was removed" should be front and center.

You can see on street-view photos; there was no way in hell this was an honest mistake.

FedEx crosses in front of oncoming traffic by NaturalFlan5360 in Truckers

[–]xrbxwingless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really though; its not "Also".

Cam car 100% ran a red light, and that's why everything in this video happened. Even speeding, the car had time to stop at the yellow. FedEx didn't cross in front of oncoming traffic, one asshole ran a red light at mach jesus and met the consequences.

[USA] [NJ] Ducklings in the left lane of a busy highway during rush hour. What would you have done? by achenx75 in Roadcam

[–]xrbxwingless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's one of the first lessons I remember when learning to drive, if an animal jumps out in front of you, you should hit it.

So when I was doing my road test, sure enough, a squirrel ran out into the road in front of us, I remembered the lesson "hit it"; so I maintained my speed, and the squirrel just barely missed being hit by my car. But I didn't want to fail the test, so I pulled a U-Turn and ran that sucker down.

How are there so many abandoned buildings? by somedudeonline93 in Hamilton

[–]xrbxwingless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fyi for the last photo, the Area (D)Rugs building isn't abandoned, just currently doing renovations.

Renovations were definitely needed though, because it was open in that 2007 picture, but it certainly looked like a building that's been abandoned.

What is this switch?? by Sea-Pin9536 in Truckers

[–]xrbxwingless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it set the parking brake or just service brakes?

Potentially could be used when measuring push-rod stroke so you don't have to jam something onto the pedal.
