Love doing these. 2.4 equinox piston replacements for oil consumption. Pays 12.6, my best time is 3.7 hours but usually just under 5 hours

For the auto trans in these, 6t40 or whatever it is, can I use the dipstick from a 6t70 or whatever the 2012 3.6 impala uses to check the level? OR what is the proper procedure for checking the level? I’m not sure I trust the YouTube mechanics of pulling the bolt (on the drive side in the wheel well) and checking it like a diff. Not that it would surprise me if that’s how it’s done but I want to be positive...

 

[Stink Star]

Yea you gotta warm up trans to operating temp and pull the level plug

This one's been sitting on a used car lot for years. It wouldn't start. Water coming out the pump. Tanks full of water. Hooked fuel line to lift pump, primed it, cranked it for 5 mins, fired right up.

Storage controller fucked its ethernet ports. Gonna get it replaced via emergency change tonight. Fack. Interrupting shit I've got going on.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Support powered off one of my array controllers without asking. Although it probably won't hurt anything wtf this shit doesn't work that way, you don't just get to go in and start powering stuff off. Pissed about that in a big kind of way.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Gotta make some settings tweaks to a bunch of Splunk Servers. This thing is gonna move like a glacier.

Finished the trans lines on the Astro and fished out the bolt I dropped in an intake port. Got the fuel lines tightened up and the lower rad and heater hose installed. I need to get the intake together, add fluids, get some exhaust and some wiring and I can fire it. Not too far off. Kind of excited. Maybe I should take some pics and see if I have enough to post a build thread.

I had a stinker couple months ago. The 6.7 has intake port in center of engine valley, the intake riser goes above the head and wraps all the way around the side and the intakes are actually where the exhaust ports would be... Fished a bolt right out but fuck was I nervous

 

[Mr_Roboto]

oh fuck that. Totally fuck that.

Been out working in the rain, got the rad shroud fitted and the cooling system done except adding antifreeze. I need to wire up the Volvo Fan/relay setup I have but am probably gonna laze out on that at the moment. If the weather cooperated and I busted my balls I am betting I could fire it up tomorrow with open headers, maybe even some mufflers and turn downs.

Building out a home lab

Router, virtual switches, firewalls, VMs, etc.

Aw snap you got any Nexus gear?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Bled brakes on the Astro this morning, probably not my best bleed job. Half brakes are better than no brakes for sure. I'm thinking the line lock may be making it a bit challenging to bleed the rears although I may be wrong on that. I also got the alternator wiring done, the battery in and some charging done. All fluids got added and topped off. I also worked on a base of base tunes to load up. I need to hook the battery up, hook the coil up, drain the old gas, add some new gas and hopefully we're ready to crank even though it's with open headers. Just looking for 5-10 mins of idle time at this point.

ED:Stuck on a call this morning for change management. Not quite as rewarding I dare say.

Need to winterize my boat don’t really feel like it

No wonder manufacturers are going back to gasoline

 

[boostedguy05]

they should have designed a better filter.

deez, didnt you say you can retrofit a different filter system in for under 1k that would prevent all that.
