The only one I’m aware of is Magnolia power plant in Iberville parish but I don’t think that’s Entergy-owned. I believe it’s out of state.
Where are the others? I’m curious. ...

As long as Entergy isn't overloading our grid with monstrous amounts of intermittent renewables, we will be in better shape than most areas of the country. And we still enjoy some of the lowe...

The GFCI in the picture is a 15 Amp, everything inside of the bathroom is on a 20 amp circuit. Remember this, a breaker is designed for 80% load, meaning 16 amps. The hair dryer and hair Iron pull the most amps. That will be the main load items. The tooth items draw very little. The iron an...

I’ve found at least 2 of these in my house in the past week. I think they’ve come in around some old weatherstripping on the front door but any suggestions are welcome.

To pull the heads and reinstall factory lifters (DOD included) is probably $2500 in labor and around $500 in parts. The DOD lifters are a lot more expensive than standard ones.
One other option is to have the engine tuned and AFM/DOD disabled and then take a delete kit to a shop. Just pay them t...

I was between the Delphi LS7 lifters and the GM performance ones. I went with the latter because AMS Racing told me they’d have the best reliability and are rated for 8k rpm. Not that I’ll spin the motor that much but I like the reliability :lol:.

I actually just got my 2018 Yukon Denali back from getting a full AFM/DOD delete last week. I plan to do a larger writeup about it but if it's a simple tick, it could be one of your standard lifters. However, if the tick becomes a tap and you get a cylinder misfire warning light, you have a collapse...

re: What will the effect be of non-permitted concealed carry?
Posted by bapple on 2/29/24 at 6:08 pm
You won’t notice much change at all most likely. But a recent study in Ohio specifically showed almost a 10% reduction in violent crime across a few big cities since they passed it. It doesn’t prove that the constitutional carry law caused it (correlation - causation) but it does disprove that passi...
