Future note- After speaking with a Tuner he recommended against trimming the MAF housing becuase it might induce turbulance. Instead shorten the silicone tube. I did this later and installed a new MAF housing as a precaution.

Hi Jason, my name is Gabe. I'd like to talk to you about your experience and perhaps offer a better way to get water to your refrigerators. Easier to install, no waste drain, smaller size, higher flow rate and more. Furthermore its a proven product with years of history but it hasn't been the highest priority for marketing for my company. I tried sending you an email but can't find a good address. Please let me know if your interested in more details and maybe even giving it a try and comparing the water produced and experience to your RO experience. Thanks.

@DrivingForwardBuildsКүн бұрын
For sure cheaper. Ideally you'd want a shorter insert so you dont have oil stuck in the pan when you change it. That's why I had to trim mine down. Which is also why I'm glad I added the loctite.

You can’t do it from the bottom? Remove the baseboards, cut the drywall, inject in the foam and then install a taller baseboard to cover the hole?
@DrivingForwardBuildsКүн бұрын
With foam, you probably could do that. But what I see most often here in Phoenix with foam retrofits is they spray from the outside through the stucco. Even still they wind up spraying it in through multiple holes per cavity. I think gravity would be your worst enemy with that from the bottom.

Professional here... Adding more tension to the spring reduces the life of the spring. Springs are rated for weight/height of the door at a minimum for 10,000 open/close cycles. Absolutely correct adding insulation to the door adds weight, for which springs needed to be exchanged. Also, IF your springs lost tension after an install, it was not done properly. NOT TO SAY IT DOES/CANNOT HAPPEN. Always contact a professional. This gentleman gave us the biggest hint as to why this was not done correctly. The person doing the work is a FRIEND! Make sure your friend does the work properly. PLEASE CALL A TRUE PROFESSIONAL.
@DrivingForwardBuilds3 күн бұрын

IF the springs were changed, why not explain that in the video, show the process? Obviously you were caught being deceptive, and now lying about it. Make sure to use professionals.

Hello again, I am receiving my new 2024 f250 7.3L Godzilla gas engine truck in 2 weeks. I was looking at some ford Godzilla motor problems and saw that a few owners have this Cam and Lifter issues which in some instances ruins the engine. It seems that the issue occurs more on heavy ideling motors like campers, box trucks and delivery trucks. Ford has come up with a fix for this. It seems that this motor has a variable oil pump and when ideling, the oil pressure is a little low. Because of that, their is not a lot of oil passing to cool down the cam and lifters. Reference: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nQomuibJZ9b7c static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11002845-0001.pdf I wanted to share this to the community and also let you know to have your parents check with their dealer if the software update was done on their truck.

However, even in my 2002 540i, the seals were metal and after 22 years there was minimal wear when I did chains and guides and rebuilt the vanos. I think the the N54 suffers from the same fate as most modern BMW engines and that's oil change intervals that are way too long causing more wear.

The lift and the bikes tuck in the corner of my shop perfectly. When I working on a car and I need access to the center of the car, I picked up some 5k truck jack stands that I set the car onto so I can roll the lift away and have full access under the car. It's not high enough to sit under, but it's plenty tall enough to roll around underneath on a creeper and work straight armed. It's really a great investment for folks who work on their cars a lot.

thanks for sharing your great design! carrying this thought even further, since compressed air is so hot, this application seems ideal for heat-powered coolers. an ammonia and water absorption cooler, like the old gas refrigerators, uses heat to cool an evaporator that you would place adjacent to your cooler fan, cooling your compressed air below the ambient temperature by the time it enters your tank. ...or, a paired sterling engine/cooler could work similarly, providing sub-ambient cooling from the compressor heat. it would be interesting to see if there are any commercial compressors that take this approach. Edit: I see Thermax offers absorption chillers for air compressors, but at industrial and not at garage scale. Even though they get "free" energy from the compressed air heat, but maybe at smaller scales, chilled compressed air isn't worth the capital cost of an absorption chiller?
@DrivingForwardBuilds13 күн бұрын
Chilled compressor cooler/driers are more often found in commercial applications with paintwork and blasting/coating. They need dry clean air. In a home shop you are often, as you pointed out, limited by the cost of such applications. However with the skill and enginuity it could be done, and you sound like you know enough to make it happen! Thanks for the comment and view!
