    Think my 30A drier plug socket is falling.. got it on a 30A 2P breaker and 8ga wire feeding it. It's causing the breaker to get warm and trip.. Also 145° exhaust temp out the drier is kinda neat. Get it swapped to a 10-50R style plug/socket and be ready for laundry next weekend The basic...

    Bought a Cruze

    Already down loaded the stock time and saved it... Either they fixed it and did a horrible job at flushing the system or it just happened and they put it in as a bandaid and dumped the car before it got worse Pretty sure they used this https://barsleaks.com/product/block-seal-1109/

    Bought a Cruze

    Well break the vacuum seal or allow additional air in behind the throttle, it will change idle quality. I'll get it some what cleaned up, so we can figure out what color the fluid is

    Tom, OSHA would say this needs anti-slip mats to stand on If a seasoned safety man can't articulate the actual hazards for said PPE requirement. I question the legitimacy of said safety requirements.. Im not interested in getting injured with unsafe safety requirements

    Ahh end of the month safety meeting... Seams some floor production guys bitched about the 4 drivers not wearing safety glasses... Directly asked the safety man to articulate exact hazards that I'm at risk of walking through non production areas that legitimately warrant said safety measures...
