Yep, Chicago loves to do everything in metal. Remember that from my old job when I was up there for work and the electricians for the project had to bring in all their stuff to run the wires through metal conduit. They still managed to get it all done in about the same amount of time as...

2 plates are required and you can't put them in the window in IL. You'll get a ticket without question, especially in any smaller town where the cops are always looking for violations to make money off of. Makes the front license plate holder on my 94 Z28 worth a lot of money if you want an...

You could use QoS to limit down/upload speed on devices. That would be a lot easier than trying to block individual programs like games.

I also run 5w30 in my 6.2L. It has no issues with AFM at all. Also doesn't burn any oil with 5w30 while the original 0w20 that was in it when I bought it had burned at least a quart of oil when I did my first oil change. Anyone that believes these motors will have issues with running thicker...

Just depends on the dogs I suppose. My one neighbor had one of those little terrier dogs that would bark at anything that moves. Annoying sometimes to say the least but it was a tiny little thing that would never come anywhere near you so its not like there was some worry it was going to...

It was -3 degrees here last night. Definitely been an up and down winter here in IL but on Sat its suppose to be up to 50 degrees. We will see how long that lasts though. At least I was able to fix the heater on my rental house before it got really cold a few weeks ago. Induction motor...

I'm not sure in the end, especially since the guest wifi is totally open with no password or anything on it, just a redirect to a page before you can use it after connecting to say your agree with the terms and policies and click the button to let you start using the wifi. Acceptable use policy...

Yep, we use AnyConnect for our VPN needs as well. But as most people don't have something like that setup for use outside of IT and just use your standard VPN setups, makes it more difficult for you average user to protect themselves. I know our guest wifi blocks all the consumer VPNs, even...

Definitely use a VPN with full-tunneling on it, if you can. As someone who works for a hospital group in IT, I know we don't do much at all when it comes to securing the guest wifi. Anyone can see what you are doing on it, from other users to the IT department. Also my group blocks VPN use on...

I have this issue. Found the best fix for it was apple cider vinegar. Mix it will a little water and drink it down, my acid reflux goes away almost instantly. Hate the taste of the stuff by itself but the results are worth the horrible taste.

This is probably the worst advice that I have ever seen given in a thread like this. I have nothing to hide, therefore I don't need to protect myself. You understand that not everyone is looking for documents or other personal stuff of yours. Some are looking for wide open networks and...

Certainly not a bad idea, you can segregate that router for the IOT devices and have it manage its own firewall and permissions for the devices. Or if your router supports it you can setup a seperate wifi network just for the IOT devices and do the same thing. On my router I have it setup with...

Never found anyone on mine as I use a random 63 character long password for my regular wifi. Anyone who wants to use my wifi that comes over gets the guest network info, which is segregated from the regular networks and can't access anything other than the internet on it. I also make sure to...

Of those 3 you posted the Buick hands down. Camry has too many miles and the Marquis is priced too high even with the low miles. Assuming of course there are no major issues with any of them, such as rust. Always the first thing I check on any vehicle I'm looking at, especially in my area...

Last few times I've ordered something liquid from Amazon there is always a leak. They just don't bother to package anything correctly and then it gets thrown around in shipping and something ends up leaking. Annoying, especially on something you can't get locally.

No dipstick on the 8L90E so I added one to my 2018 Sierra 1500. There is no reason these new transmissions shouldn't have a dipstick to check the fluid.

Had this happen once working on a friend's daughter's Jeep Cherokee. I could not get the thing out for the life of me. Air hammer, slide hammer, heat, and various types of presses and it would not come out. In the end, I just replaced the entire hub assembly as it really wasn't that expensive...

Agree, especially if you coat it with something like fluid film before the start of winter. It would also be nice if they would stop dumping so much salt on the roads, at least in my area.

Yep, had a friend that bought a little Scion xA and he wore the clutch out by constantly shifting the thing way before it ever got into the power band, lugging the engine all the time. He apparently learned to drive a stick on some V8 truck, which has an entirely different power band than the...

The TCM for the 17+ can be unlocked by HP Tuners, at least for the T87A. You can then tune it like any other TCM with their software, although it costs like 4 tuning credits for each TCM. Not sure if Trifecta is using that or something else but its definitely possible to do.
