    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    Usually Auto4WD however I tried 2WD mode and even locked it in 4WD and the clunking and binding up is present regardless and definitely coming from the front now Both front CV axles look fine visually but I guess it is possible one of them maybe grenaded without ripping the rubber boot...sounds...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    Tires are all the same size, got 4 new tires about 20K miles ago they all match Yeah the noise started out sounding like it was coming from the rear but it's definitely the front now Spare tire is tight

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    Ill check it over for sure in a little bit. What baffles me, is despite losing power to all USB ports, there's still video output to both monitors, although the entire screen is frozen including the clock being stopped at whatever time it froze up.

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    The RX550 was powered by the slot alone as is the RX6400. Pretty sure both have similar power demands as well. Also I too am a big fan of HP business stuff, I have an Elitedesk I thrifted and use as a plex server and an Elitebook laptop that I bought refurbished and actually use as a gaming...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    Driving home from work this morning something definitely broke loose for real or is binding up and about to break, the clunking noise is much louder now and with each clunk my front end lurches almost as if I tapped the brakes real fast. So much for getting to relax on my days off... looks like...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    CVT was replaced at 87K miles when the previous owners traded it in because it blew up and they didn't want to pay to fix it. Got fluid changed at the dealer for the first time with the new CVT at 110K, at 113K currently. Doesn't feel like it's slipping because drivability wise nothing has...

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    Not heat. I have never seen this PC go over 35C even under loads. No dust it gets blown out regularly. It tends to do this freezing up thing overnight because I'll wake up in the morning and go to check my work email and the clock will be frozen at like 11PM the day before or 4AM or something.

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    I decided to roll the dice and drive it to work tonight and the clunking noise suddenly grew much louder and it's happening full time whether I'm on the gas or not. Auto awd and 4wd both still work so I don't think it's the t case or rear diff. Having a coworker follow me home when we get off...

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    Hopefully it's the cmos battery but if it isn't, luckily I can build a new PC for cheap because i still have old cases and power supplies kicking around and I can reuse all the months-old replacement parts I've thrown at my current PC. Really all Id need to buy is a new motherboard, processor...

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    I knew dying cmos batteries caused clock issues back in the windows 95 era I didn't think it would cause any issues in a newer computer, like I said I totally forgot they existed Definitely going to check it when I get off work

    Clock stops, PC freezes entirely

    HP Prebuilt gaming PC. Clock stops, PC freezes entirely, including losing power to USB ports for some reason. Only way to get running again is holding down the power button and doing a hard restart. Which after that it's usually fine again for a few days. Hard drive was failing back in January...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    Ill post back here once it's back from the shop and I found out what it was. There's just too many possibilities of what it can be and with everyone's work schedules at the house a DIY repair isn't gonna happen. I called around to multiple shops in town and the soonest I can get in is July 11th...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    Muffler hangers are all good, jack and lug wrench are all secure, rear hatch is fine, carrier bearing rubber is dry rotted but doesn't look too bad otherwise... between my dad's work schedule and mine we both opted to just pay and make it a shop's problem. Luckily I make enough that having a...

    Thumping/clunking from rear end area what could it be?

    My 2014 Pathfinder suddenly developed this issue today. It wasn't gradual leading up to now it is just now happening as of this morning. I have a thumping that feels like it's coming from somewhere under the back seats. I had my dad ride in the back seat while I drove around the block to...

    Mixing oils - question re: diesel and gasoline oils

    A couple years ago I mixed 2.5 quarts of diesel 10w30 a friend gave me and 2.5 quarts of normal 10w30 that I had on hand and ran it in my pathfinder for 5k miles with no issues you will be fine

    Is it possible to play MP3 music files from Android phones?

    When I switched from iPhone to Android, I converted my entire iTunes library to MP3 format and loaded it onto a MicroSD card which I have used with the couple Android phones I've since had, including my current one. For the longest time I used VLC Media Player but eventually it became buggy and...

    Accidental extreme OCI

    As an ADHDer myself (who also isn't medicated but probably should be, lol), oil changes are a "fixation" that I have. I do my own oil changes like clockwork, and I also keep track of the mileage on all the other family vehicles and do oil changes on them as well, because for some reason I find...

    Post your latest oil change

    Dad's 2019 Tacoma, 71,300 mi on the clock, 5K OCI because he's not comfortable going any longer than that. Very "by the book" guy when it comes to maintenance. Signature Select 0w20 and a PZ-161 out, a blend of SuperTech and STP 0w20 that I had on hand, and another PZ-161, back in.

    Oldest battery (ICE vehicles)?

    The factory battery in my Mom's 2004 Element lasted a bit over 12 years IIRC. The battery currently in my Pathfinder was put in by the previous owners, it's Mighty brand, date sticker says 2018 and it's still going strong in the Idaho heat even with the added loads of my stereo system and CB...
