re: Update at bottom: Another A/C problem (car this time)

these compressors are variable displacement compressors and dont have clutches like most mb in the last 15 years. 140psi on both side shows the compressor isnt working. also it could be 140 due to heat, pressure rises with heat, or it is over charged

It's probably the front sam (fuse box under the hood by the booster). It's what powers the compressor on that vehicle. Check and see if you have power at the compressor. If not, that's most likely the culprit

Happened twice at work by customers. One warned us that if he couldn't find a toilet that it was happening but cleaned it up. Another rolled out dropping nuggets on the ground while he walked out the rest room. Worst part was an older lady picked up a piece thinking it was trash...

Sounds like the anti trap function needs to be relearned. A quick Google search should tell you how to do it.

Budget?

If it was taken care of then it's not bad. Yes repairs and maintenance are pricey. It was over 80k when new. It's not the early model so it doesn't have the engine issues. Also if you have some car repair skills some of the repairs aren't very difficult to do your self.

The efs 10-18mm is really good if you are looking for wide angle for a crop sensor camera such as the t3i

re: I am about to get this Drill combo, should I?

Posted by ScottyB on 4/14/17 at 6:53 pm to Macfly

I have been using Makita impacts and drills for about 10 years professionally working on cars and would not use anything else. On my 3rd impact as of now. The 2 previous ones still work just started to act up once in a while and since it is used a everyday I can't have it fail. The only problem I have seen is the smaller batteries fail much sooner than the standard 3.0 batteries. Used to be able to get them on eBay for about 70 for the drill or impact and 150 for 2 batteries and a charger

Venice fishing

Posted by ScottyB on 3/30/17 at 7:56 pm

Hello all. A few friends and I are looking to fish around Venice on Saturday but none of us have been to the area. Not asking for any honey holes of course. Main concern is places that are safe to run. I have an 18ft aluminum xpress mod v hull and another friend is bringing his ankona skiff so I feel like crossing the miss is out of the question. Any info on the area is greatly appreciated. TIA

re: 2011 Allison TurboDiesel 2500 GMC. Gas in tamk

Posted by ScottyB on 3/10/17 at 4:59 pm to Tigahs24Seven

Nothing else you could do about it now. Any damage that would have been done is done. Since gas doesn't lubricate like diesel, it can damage the high pressure pump and possibly injectors. Drive it until something acts up then address it

For state inspection sticker, tires can't stick out either 1 or 2 inches past the fender. Seems like one of those things that's never enforced though

I purchased a humminbird core unit on a similar sale like the lowrance units and I have been pleased. Lakemaster has a map card, HCLD1, pretty much south of I 10 from Texas to Mississippi.

Recommendations for deer hunting rifle/caliber

Posted by ScottyB on 9/10/16 at 9:45 pm

Hey all. Looking to pick up a new rifle after having to return my father's to him. Don't have any brand preferences. Only feature that would be a plus would be a threaded barrel for suppressor. TIA
