What did you do at work today?
Since it's on the macaroni tubes on the end of the coil. I'll probably have to careful clean it up and braze the hole shut. There is very little space to reach it. Going to be a fun repair. Looks like a bunch of ice formed around the hole. Must have leaked fast enough that it froze the...- 2004LB7

What did you do at work today?
Been working on this crusty indoor pool room dehumidifier. Hard to find anyone who knows how to do anything on them so I end up doing most repairs on them in my hotels. This particular unit was diagnosed with a bad control module by the manufacturer's tech. After $2k in parts and it's still...- 2004LB7

Nothing like what you guys get We have been getting a lot more fog then normal It is kinda...- 2004LB7

New Truck.
I'm guessing liability reasons. Modification to a vehicle safety device. If it somehow fails to work and you get an a wreck, you can't blame them- 2004LB7

I don't have much experience with how renting goes and how the landlord deals with interest, but with a mortgage on a home, this is very much not correct. Monthly payments have the interest build in. By paying monthly you are the investment and they make money off you beyond what you are paying...- 2004LB7

The biggest factor is age of accounts and number of missed/late payments on them. Even if you are paying off a CC every month and keeping zero balance at the end of the month, the fact that you are responsible and making payments does add to their confidence that you are a good investment and or...- 2004LB7

Bought and sold a 2016 Colorado
If you have the ability to log a before and after EGT, it would be interesting to see if there is any significant difference. Maybe the treatment changes the cetane enough to raise the EGT where it will work the passive regen a little better- 2004LB7

This is good advice. I say a minimum of 6 months of mortgage, food, utilities and other expenses stashed away. A year is definitely better. This is money you have instant access too. But not the same funds as your emergency expenses which are unpredictable. You want all the predictable expenses...- 2004LB7

This is close but not quite right. "Credit score" is a measure of how profitable you are to a bank or loan institution. Basically how much money can they make off of you. If you are bad at paying back loans and CC, you default on the loan, the bank looses money, or better said, they didn't make...- 2004LB7

What did you use and where I can't find the partThis
I've been able to reuse them a few times. But if you cut yours off or mangled it up and need a replacement. Take a look at PEX clamps. Might find the one you need at a plumbing or hardware store. Landscaping supply is another option. I tighten mine with end cutting wire cutters or "nippers" but... -
02 LB7 Crank no start
20 mpa is enough to start. That's 2900 psi. Only takes about 1500 or so to operate the injectors. Most will idle around 30 mpa +- 5. If I remember correctly 44 mpa is stock command during cranking. The demand and actual matching during cranking is not important. What is important is making... -

Coming Soon in Your Next Truck (?)
This video is so filled with unrelated B roll it's almost unwatchable. And the AI voice ? But in all seriousness, they just re-invented the axial flux motor. Everything that was described on what the team did to redesign the motor sounds just like a axial flux motor. And no, they didn't take...- 2004LB7
