Isuzu Ascender/Chevy Trailblazer P0455 repair. Crack in fuel filler port on tank causing evap issues, noticeable fuel smell, and wetness on tank mean needed tank repair. With 120,000mi on the truck I also recommended a fuel pump, filter, evap vent solenoid and misc parts for the job when the...

8LL dumptruck transmission. On an on-road only/pickup & delivery tandem axle flatbed truck. soooo slowww Tell me you drive a unsynchronized manual transmission without telling me you drive a unsynchronized manual transmission. Dinosaur int'l. My left leg hurts. Makes like love my Allison...

Found my 2 y/o post on my first AM5 build. Living Room Gaming PC built when gaming consoles where unobtainable and scalped to high hell. Specced an RTX 3080 Ti for that build, wanted a console killer to feed an LG OLED TV and that can run games in its full native 4K resolution @ 120Hz for...

Finishing up the new bumper installation. All OEM parts, paid in cash because the driver that rear-ended the truck was texting and driving while waiting at a light. Shiny. Notes for whoever gets in here again. Plastic caps, license plate, lamps installed.

It's a gift for my brother that is going to replace a frankenstien'd HP computer (20 year old HP case with an AMD AM4 CPU and MoBo hand-me-down parts) so I'd figured I give him current-gen parts. LGA 1718 socket. That's 943 more pins to bend from my last Intel LGA 775 build. Dropping the CPU...

I still have an iPhone 11 Pro Max I use as a point and shoot camera since the Smart Battery Case has a shutter button. The last of its kind for its form factor and the last for the smart cases before they went to Magsafe Battery Packs (and that got discontinued too). Taken with iPhone 16 Pro...

Pricing out parts for an AMD AM5 PC build for a gift. Necessary parts come out to $800, not including a GTX 1650 graphics card which I will reuse from an old build. Was considering a Mac Mini but even a decent specced Mac Mini (for a 16GB system, 8GB is a joke) a custom built PC still comes out...

Bumper parts starting to come in. Wanted to do a tiny mod to the rear bumper license plate screw holes. Dug out the rivnut installer and rivnuts, drilled out the plastic holes to take an M6 rivnut and now the license plate can be bolted on with 10mm Toyota hardware.

In medium duty versions the LF3970 is made in India. Bought them at a truck dealer so being counterfeit was out of the question.

He meant by skipping the 'Connect to the Internet' prompt. Click 'I do not have Internet' and "Continue with limited setup'. Then it will take you to prompt to create a local account.

Dude rear ended the 01 Tundra so time to do collision repair. Guy didn't want to involve police and insurance, so he paid cash to cover the costs for an OEM bumper shell and related parts. Had to pull the rear bumper to check damage to the reinforcement bar and mounts. Exposing dat junk yo...

Or the International Silverado CV

A must have for these inflators, makes them clip on with the flow-thru valve stem caps on commercial vehicles and super fast to clip and unclip from the valve stem. My M18 inflator comparing PSI accuracy with other gauges.

Apple macOS Sequoia & iOS 18 big update day.

Fixed water heater mixer valve. #106 o-ring for the stem seal and #116 o-ring for the body seal. Old o-rings were hard as a rock. Finally got hot water temp under control.

Here's a 1min video on the comparison. A switch is wired in to quickly switch it off or on (imo should be under a 'sport' mode than having the dealer disable it via software or unplugging a box.)

Storaging a 2021 Toyota Tundra 3UR-FE w/ 16,507mi for a month so doing some fluid checks and setting up a battery maintainer. I forgot I had these test strips buried in the shelf with miscellaneous hardware. At least I can gauge whether it's time to change the factory coolant/brake fluid...

XTOOL D8S Bi-Directional scantool + Foxwell OBD port extension cable. It was Russian roulette with the various tablet-based scantools on amazon, found this recommended by a youtube mechanic The Car Care Nut Needed the extension cable for this scantool because this honkin connector (why does...

Make sure you get OEM parts. The OEM belt is a Toyota labeled Dayco but wanted the Mitsuboshi belt used in the Lexus UZ V8's. Not gonna pay Lexus prices.

I meant I pre-ordered once the online store opened up for pre-orders. I usually wait until next year (when in-store stock is available).
