Tacos in St. Louis area

Just checked out his thread an dude WTF is with him an all those *Deal* findings? Ive never had that kinda luck!

 

Come to a mod day and ask him about some of it in person. Some of the stuff has even more mind blowing details behind it.

 

I'm going to try an be at the 11th, I need a gearhead day! Plus lil guy needs to be introduced to cars. Not letting him learn nothing but face to TV or PC screens

 

If these high winds and shitty weather would just stop I'd appreciate it. My work is just non stop right now and not a single happy customer because their contractor tells them 3 missing shingles means they should get a new roof. .

My appointments are booked out past the first week of may.

 

Whom do you work with then? Our house I hate to say needs a roof AN gutters bad. Insurance paid us to have it started but cause stuff went south and bad, really really bad we had to use it for Bill's which was a bad Idea

 

I'm an insurance adjuster; big name company...

Not going to name it here as its public and dont need to be hounded.

How long ago was your claim?

Depends on your company. Mine you have 365 days from the acv payment to recover withheld depreciation for what weve paid.

Some other companies its 365 days from the storm that did the damage; regardless of when you filed or got paid.

Best to figure a way to get work done either way....

If you have any other claimed damage to the same stuff, your company wont pay again. That is unless you fixed it for what they estimated.

Like let's say, you have wind damage up there from your claim, but it started to leak now. Well the wind damage wasn't fixed and now its leaking because of that, they wont cover the inside leak. Because it's an extension of unrepaired damages and wouldnt have happened if you fixed what was paid for.

And if you claim any other loss and the adjuster sees the prior damages werent fixed, even if its unrelated, we have to send it to underwriting which can get you dropped or your premiums jacked up.

When you do go to get your roof done, ask your agent which contractor to use. Big names with flashy commercials or driving around big trucks are just in it for a quick buck. Theyll install your shingles wrong leading to even more damage down the road to deal with.


.... end rant-
Dont mean to sound rude just putting out there what I know from working this job.

 

Nah not a rant just something to think about.

 

Well I went to firestone to get my alignment done but they can't do anything because there's play in the ball joints and control arms

 

Ew

 

Wut?

 

There's play in the back of the control arms and there's play in the ball joints so now I need to figure out what the FUCK is going on

 

The lower control arms?

 

Wow dude!

 

Uppers

 

There is play meaning are they not torqued? Not sure what else would that mean

 

I don't know. Everything was tightened down and I haven't even put 100 miles on the truck in about 3 weeks. I need to figure out why there's play in the ball joints too

 

If you have a 3rd gen and your going to 35s your gonna want a taller gear like 4.88 or 5.29. Theres a chart somewhere with rpm ratios. Let me see if I can find it.

 

Why I had eyed the 4.30s, figured it would be a LOT better then the 3.909 for 35s.

 

Not enough. Your still gonna be hunting for gears. If I can find this damn chart you can see the rpm differences between tire sizes and gears. I have 34s and plan on doing 4.88. In 6th gear going 70mph I'll be pulling 1950rpm

 

Disabling the light is also quite easy, for most years the tpms computer is behind the radio and simply quick splice 2 wires together. One of my favorite mods lol
