If it turns me into Spider-Man I'm ok with it.

 

Any BMW guys know what this means? My buddy and I are stumped.

@lambo

 

Or i drill through the job box and dividing wall and bolt that way

 

Tire rotation

 

Traction control off

 

Thanks. Buddy said it turned off by itself, how does that system work? I’ve never owned a vehicle with traction control. The Merc has it but it’s a simple button.

 

Maybe he pushed the button for too long or one of the wheel speed sensors are dirty/bad

 

I told him he shouldn’t have bought a BMW but he didn’t listen to me haha

 

From what I see at the junk yard most BMW owners just ignore the warning lights until it's picknpull worthy.

 

What's wrong with this picture?

I pulled off the TPS swap without damaging the little screws, but it was nerve wracking as hell.

 

Hose made of electric tape? Nice

 

Yup. Solenoid was the word he was looking for @Speedytech7

 

Electromagnetic solenoid > pneumatic solenoid

 

That sounds about right. Its been a long while since these videos, although I still have the can crusher haha.

Much appreciated, I'd like to think I've learned a lot since then and three public speaking classes have probably helped too. But I'm probably about the same just with more thoughts to try and articulate before just letting it be word soup haha. That data storage medium is far more advanced than I would have thought. I can't remember what thrift store I found that at but it was somewhere in downtown Seattle. I bet a warehouse was cleared out or foreclosed upon.

 

Close.. The hose is not new. I wrapped it up real tight in F4 Silicone tape to keep it air tight and to keep it from springing a leak I'll pick up a new one if I remember on another parts order.

The problem is with the screwdriver. I should have been using one like this in the picture. I was just damn lucky I didn't strip one of the little JIS screws. I knew going in I had the wrong tool and compensated for it by giving it a lot of extra pressure from behind.

I've seen some videos where people unknowingly strip those little TPS screws. Then the TB has to be pulled to get past it. Its so easy with the right little driver.

 

Man the Duramax interiors are super grandpa mode

 

Ive learned the hard way to use JIS screwdriver head adapters when working on anything truck related regarding screws

 

Just go for a new ferd

 

I hear Raptors are nice

 

I’d drive one if it was given to me, or rented, and I had a gas card
