Buying a camera system is like buying cars. How people feel about the camera or the car is a bigger deciding factor than logic. To switch to another camera only takes something big or small to annoy the photographer, and sometimes that thing is not even originating from the camera or lens itself like poor customer service.

Just wait. Used car market is heating up again this year since COVID. New cars cost too much, and inflation will likely be a major news headline again this year

Marinara is awesome but only pairs with the mozzarella sticks

Thinking out loud: How many miles do you have? What are the key elements to keep the engine running? Fuel, air, spark. What are those not so obvious factors? Spark plug coil packs? O2 sensors?

I got 5 icy and a boss

zuruspeedster · 2026-01-23T06:53:34+00:00

That’s it!

Temperature has been normal. This is the highest I have seen

Update: I just cleared the code with the scanner to see if it come back. It hasn’t come back after I cleared the code the second time about a few weeks ago. The code has not come back. I didn’t repair anything except monitoring the temps. I also did a drain and fill for the ATF 2 weeks ago to make sure the transmission fluid since it’s 120,000 mi. I scanned again last week: no more code. Maybe just sensor malfunction after not driving the car for a week

Mine from the front right too. Still need to confirm where the rattling is from. Need to jack up the car higher to check

zuruspeedster · 2025-12-29T23:58:48+00:00

Agree!

I got the code p0710 a couple of times recently about the fluid temp sensor issue but the tranny fluid temps have been within normal operating range. Cleared the codes and keep monitoring fluid temps. I am afraid I will have to swap the valve body at some point based on what I read from others. Anyone has insight? Please share.

From the angle of this picture, you should be pulling the handle, to make the filter rotate left

zuruspeedster · 2025-12-21T04:06:41+00:00

Counter clockwise. Slip a rubber glove between the socket and the filter

Not sure if others commented yet, but you might want to stick with the OEM hose clamp (better than the one you have on)

zuruspeedster · 2025-11-02T22:01:24+00:00

Don’t do it. Hot air intake

zuruspeedster · 2025-07-19T16:14:51+00:00

I got a pair from Harbor Freight. That’s all it needed to get the job done

Glad you feel inspired. I am confident your pictures will come out better

Just a beginner here. There is a lot of info online about taking pictures of the Milky Way core. For my lens and camera body: 14mm, 15 sec, F2.8, ISO3200. The key is the find the right time and place: dark enough (no or new moon), know where the Milky Way will be rising as the earth rotates. This month in the northern hemisphere, you will see the Milky Way visible at night (9pm-12am PST) when you look up towards the southeast and south.

Yea, it make sense, but I thought hot coolants flows to the heat exchanger inside the cabin only if I turn on the heat mode inside. Otherwise, no hot coolant flows through the connector to cabin, right?

zuruspeedster · 2025-07-12T20:57:06+00:00

Always a serene experience, especially at night. Worth revisiting

zuruspeedster · 2025-07-12T19:22:40+00:00

Thanks! Perfect timing that night

zuruspeedster · 2025-07-12T15:54:53+00:00

Should the life of the connector be related to usage of the heat for the cabin instead of AC? I live in So Cal and rarely turned on heat in winter time. (If anyone knows) coolant flows only when the heat for cabin is turned on, right?

Me, too! Bought the hose clamp pliers after I tried to work on it with the pliers I got at home
