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...

Off of a Freightliner M2 Cummins ISB 6.7L with ~15,000mi on it which is the recommended interval for the engine mount diesel fuel filter. This is the NanoNet version of the FF5632 non-nanonet version which is used in Cummins ISB EPA2010 engines. Replaced with a FF5632 filter since truck shops...

Figured I'd post pictures on how to take apart a Gourmia Air Fryer and see how repairable the unit is. Unit is showing 'door open' warning despite door being closed. NOTE: I'm not responsible for injury or property damage doing any DIY repair. I just want air fried Totino's for lunch lol. Also...

This is the crankcase ventilation filter for a Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel engine that is located at the top of the valve cover. Changed it to a Fleetguard filter once stock became plentiful. Top of filter (Clean side): Bottom of filter (dirty side): I've begun prying on the bottom side to expose...

Was clicking through threads when I saw a green 6 on the IPvFoo browser extension and had to do a double take that BITOG finally transitioned to an IPv6 address. However, it was not consistent and kept wanting to roll back to the IPv4 address. All IPv6 address. (y) But sometimes it rolls back...

Once in a while I would find a gem whenever I go diving in the junkyard. Found this donated 1990 Lexus LS400 "OG" that would still look perfect on the road. Body still looks decent, aside from the corner dent. The venerable 1UZ-FE. Looking into the engine bay further this car had a higher...

Figured I'd make a separate pic thread for this PC I'm working on. Bought a couple of NZXT H510 cases at Best Buy a while ago and used the other case to keep older PC components inside in case I need a backup PC or if I were to sell it. Thing has been collecting dust so time to clean it up and...

In relation to my thread where new tires and alignment were done to a 2004 Lexus LS430 with 150,000mi where the rear camber cannot be adjusted: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/adjusting-non-adjustable-rear-susp.267655/ Finally got the rear camber corrected using the Megan Rear...

Currently diagnosing an 04 Lexus LS430 with the 6 speed A761E trans throwing codes P0756 (S2) and P0761 (S3). Pulled the connector from the ECU to check solenoid resistances. Solenoid 2 tested 80Ω. Solenoids 1,3,4 tested 15Ω which is at factory spec. Looking to replace S2 solenoid. Is there...

Got this hunk of junk in for inop turn signal and ABS light on so first thing I checked was turn signal stalk, flasher relay, and hazard fuse. Unfortunately I jumped the gun and threw in a new turn signal stalk and that did not fix the problem. Checked relay (videos showing bad solder) and...

For some reason I keep getting a pending C0265 code once in a while and I would clear the code to make sure it was not a fluke (checked and cleaned the grounds per the TSB.) Then maybe after a couple months I would plug in my scanner and the C0265 would show pending but would not light up the...

The two year old ACDelco OEM water pump on my Silverado is making a loud squealing noise for a couple months now and after confirming the source of the noise with a mechanics stethoscope I've determined the water pump needed to be replaced. I'm mad that an OEM part only lasted two years where...

And Apple is getting sued because of it: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/21/apple-lawsuit-slowing-down-old-iphone-models/ As battery performance degrades, Apple limits the CPU performance to reduce "spikes" in power consumption to prevent the device from crashing. Unfortunately Apple does...

Started seeing GM's with the "Mark of Excellence" badge needing repairs. My brother wondered what it was for and I jokingly said "It's the GM POS of Excellence badge" as I was completing a tuneup on a late 2000's Silverado. Seeing that badge after almost 10 years meant it was a dark time for GM...

Welp after owning my SB6190 for a year it's time to upgrade again since I received a notice from TWC that 1Gbps internet speeds are available in my area. It also noted that I need a DOCSIS 3.1 modem despite the SB6190 supporting 1.2Gbps speeds (D3.1 uses narrower channel spacing so it requires a...

Does using a tonneau cover negate the function of a tailgate spoiler on pickup trucks? Tailgate spoilers are becoming common as carmakers integrate them into the bodywork (see new Tacoma and F150) vs an ordinary tailgate spoiler cap like on early Silverados. I currently have a soft top tonneau...

https://blog.caranddriver.com/engines-wi...ize-downsizing/ Quote: The first element of the design, which they call “synergistic induction and turbocharging,” is to place individual throttles—two per cylinder, one for each intake port—right next to the cylinder head. “Between the throttle and...

Version 1709 has dropped so slam that windows update button, download the new .iso or defer the update if you deem so.

Last month I've been pretty busy working on my relatives and neighbor's cars and used the money earned to finally build my AMD PC that will be replacing my 10 year old Intel PC. This time I wanted to do a stealth build with an old HP mATX case despite RGB glass side panel cases becoming...
