1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nah, they killed the bonus program in 2020, unfortunately. Also didn't have vacation accrual for most of 2020 because they were concerned people were going to accumulate too many hours and quit

 

Do they cap your accrual hours at all? My sister has been capped out for years and I don't think its good for her.

Ugh that sucks. Our PTO hours are fixed and don't really accrue, so our management was constantly telling us to use our vacation. Its use it by the end of the year or loose it and they want us to stay sane. I've still got ~120 hours I need to use this year. November and December are gonna be fun.

 

Ran a compression test on the truck. Thoughts? Am Concerned about Cyl 2.

 

How long since your last valve clearance check?

 

Never been done. 130k-ish miles.

 

I think I can roll over 3.5 days at EOY, I'm not sure what the cap is but I have about 80 accrued right now, I guess I should figure out how/when to take a vacation lol

 

better fix it before you burn a valve

 

that said 175+ across all is good to go in my eyes

 

@BartMaster1234
After Timmy’s 5VZ valve clearance check video I’m really paranoid about my 99. I know the 4 cylinders are more likely to have issues though and need more frequent checks.

 

patient brought in donuts for us today, couldn't resist a maple one + fritter

 

Usually the caps are like 600+. At least they were at my last job.

I have the time, i just gotta figure out where to go. Thinking about cramming together a week in november on top of thanksgiving for 2 weeks. Maybe Big Bend or something, since I need to end up in south texas for thanksgiving.

 

It bit mine at 200kish miles. I have pretty complete records from the previous owner and I didn't see any valve clearance checks in there, so I dunno when it was checked.

Recommendations I've seen are to check every 50k.

 

Youtube is on a roll now

Almost took out a Terd Gen yesterday

 

careful, if you spend too much time looking at memes your face will slowly turn into this

 

There is a variance between them though. I thought a 30 psi difference between cylinders was the tolerable limit. I can't remember.

 

Maybe there's still some blue shop towel stuck in #2

 

You know what, Ryan?

Shush

 

Ugh I have to get smogged this weekend

Need to figure out how to check to see if my monitors are ready via the SG, since I replaced the truck's battery a few weeks back. I'm sure they're reset by now but still wanna be sure.
