Use whichever part is cheapest, since that's what GM did at the factory :v:

Yeah I'd rather not have to ever replace it again, it's a bit of a pain in the rear end to get to (behind the exhaust manifold, bottom of the engine, with a couple of gaskets and tubes involved to get to it).

Still, it did make it to 100k+ (with DexShit!). And the CEL goes away as long as it's at least 45 outside.

Rockauto seems to suggest Gates is the OEM anyway... looks like $17, plus $2 for the output tube seal.

Yaaaaaay racism is awesome.

You're looking at it the wrong way. Instead of getting butthurt that someone triggered you by used "friend of the family" as a pejorative is a good thing, because it's not as common as it once was. Change happens over time, just because you consider yourself above it doesn't mean that other people aren't working through it.

Yes, because it's only hicks that are racist. It's great that you are attuned to the greater problems minorities face every day. What are you doing about it?

Edit: God drat, the hivemind is strong. Say something contrary to a SJW comment? Obvious "White knighting." Because god knows every issue is polar.

You're the one who's been giving your opinions on racism and using SJW unironically. Like Rhyno was complaining about how much of a shithole Indiana is and exhibit #8731032 was hearing some white dudes use "friend of the family" in a public space in TYOOL 2015, and your take is "Well maybe we're not giving them a fair shake" and to call Rhyno a SJW?

Good news from me once. Fuel pump doesn't seem dead on my ute after running out of fuel last week.
I went as far as removing canopy, liner, and unbolting the tray (that was fun as bolts pretty seized and thought they would snap any second).
But I thought I should try new fuel, so I took a risk and drove it and added 30L. Was a fun drive as it misfired with any throttle and could only go 40km/hr max.
But it seems fine now, I guess the other petrol station I filled the jerry can up with had bad fuel (which is also nice to know).
Other good news is the fuel filter for the ute is the same as my old car and I already had one spare for that.

So now I can spend the $300 fuel pump and filter money on a new roof lining or cat converter which I also need.
Roof lining started to sag since it's been parked stationary in the sun most of the time for the past 2 years.
Cat converter because it's rattling and the ute has been down on power for a while so is suspect.
Years ago I was going to do a plain full exhaust, but got quoted $1100. I knew I could get a full bolt up aftermarket one for that price inc extractors/headers. Only went as far as buying the headers on ebay before backing out and deciding to not spend any money on the ute. But now I need a car to get to centrelink/doctors and get a job, so it needs to be fixed.

Yes, we should ignore what happens on this very forum and act as if hearing the uttering of the term "friend of the family" is scandalous to the point that you need to run to a car forum to cry about it.

In general, I agree. We have friends that had tenants accidentally burn down their duplex and we've seen some ridiculously bad stories come from it. But... this particular one is in an enclave of duplexes that all have long-term renters and almost never come on the market since they're so stable. Obviously this will end up being a bad idea, but... no more risky than other investments at this point... I really miss the days when there was something called "interest income."

edit: just saw your post above. If the renters are 'ok', there is low turnover and you've at least somewhat mentally prepared yourself to deal with some poo poo, then maybe it is an ok idea. Property certainly is a good way to diversify and good renters mean a stream of income.

I should have just pointed out that there has been a lot of progress on most, if not all, racial fronts over the past couple decades. It doesn't mean that race issues will ever go away. The fact that it's remarkable that someone used a term he was triggered by is good... meaning that its use has decreased to that extent.

IIRC, it's Fox for two hours, then Fox Sports 2 for a couple hours, then Fox Sports 1 for a couple hours. Then you have to watch the stream online until 7am EST, at which point it comes back on FS1 until the end.

Totally understandable. Do you have a real estate agent you like and know well? A lot of them also handle property management as a way to keep a steady stream of income coming in during the slower seasons. If you purchase the duplex through him/her you may also be able to work out affordable management so that you don't have to deal with the 2am 'the sewer is backed up' calls. It may be worth lowering the profit for the security of knowing someone else that does it for an at least partial living is taking care of it for you.

Make sure you have a good handyman and/or subs lined up too in case poo poo blows up so that you're aren't having to pay high rates for repairs that are required in short periods of time.
