In-out, and up-down left-right perpendicular to its normal rotation. There should be effectively none in any of those directions. If it was me, and I was suspect of that component I'd pull it right quick and check it out. e: post #3 here is your instructions, apparently. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163-m-class/1940274-front-axle-removal.html

Applebees Appetizer posted:Lol have you never experienced it? Be careful what you wish for Yeah, I've been up where it snows and gets cold before, and it was fantastic. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I can deal with cold far better than I can heat. Like, I don't think anyone who's never been to the south can understand how bad heat + humidity is. You don't sweat. It gets so sticky outside it just doesn't evaporate, so you just end up a sticky mess. And you will start getting soaked like the second you walk out the door. At least with the cold you can layer up. In the heat you can't take much off.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Florida weather sounds p.good actually. Cold loving sucks - A bit of heat and humidity aint no problem. Oh, the humidity is definitely a problem. I can tolerate heat. What I hate is, as Sims said, being completely drenched to no effect. I mean literally dripping wet with sweat, clothes completely soaked. That happens here in Dallas. I can't imagine Florida. Actually, I kind of can. I used to live in Victoria, TX when I was in middle school. That's 30 miles from the Gulf Coast (and was pretty much directly in the path of Harvey, BTW.) Going outside in summer was like walking into a literal sauna. It was nice being a half hour-45 minutes from a beach, though.

Welp. Got my windows boarded up. At first I was thinking it was kind of a waste of time, but now the storm is tracking West again.  Also, Plywood is heavy, at least when you're trying to balance it on a windowsill and drive tapcons in.

I would start making an exit strategy. Latest Euro models seem to show it shifting west and going more or less right down the middle of the state.

Should we look at evacuating altogether? We sat out Charley, but that storm blew through pretty quick. E: Mom's place is concrete block outer walls, so it's plenty sturdy.

Applebees Appetizer posted:The severe devastating winds are maybe a 50 mile diameter at best. The further out of the center the less of a big deal, and the center is forecast to go over Miami north. No. Do not advise people to plan a vacation near a 400 mile wide Hurricane. Its not a Tornado, and the damage is not localized. The damaging winds (75-100+ Knots) are spread over nearly a 60 mile diameter that is going to sweep right along and into the keys before scooting along the Florida coast. Followed by Jose who is currently modeled to do a loop and hit the keys as well. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Sep 7, 2017 |

Well, my dad's staying in Melbourne; yesterday I'd have chewed him out, but with the tracks consistently shifting west he's probably fine. Mom in Longwood won't leave, mainly because her mom won't/can't leave. That leaves my sisters and niece, I dunno how they feel about packing up and leaving this suddenly. Plus with the traffic already on all routes, it's at least a day or two to get out of the state. If it was just me I'd throw some clothes in the car and GTFO, but as things are idk if I'd feel good leaving them all there. I'm honestly scared of this storm, guys. Just got a bad gut feeling.

monsterzero posted:$3500 is crazy. I have a 2001 1500 with a 4l60e had it rebuilt with a 3yr/50k warranty for $2250 last month. I don't know what the extra 5 is but it seems fishy that it's twice as much to rebuild. I called around to 7 different shops today. I found one that sounds like they do the same build as Monster for $1500 if I pull it or $2100 they pull it, 3 year 36,000mi warranty too. $3000-4000 is insane when a new GM Performance 4L65E is $2700 shipped, even with labor cost. I was originally going to find a junkyard transmission but saw that they were all over $700 around here. My plan for the truck is going to be a daily driver and sometimes tow my spec miata. I'm figuring under 4000lb towing weight with the trailer I'm going to build over the winter. Also looked up that I4 eyesore building, god drat is that ugly.

He couldn't if he wanted to, mandatory evacs. I was saying the Keys won't be destroyed and by Dec when he was taking his vacation it will be fine. That's assuming it stays on the east bound track.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:Florida weather is basically the same as Perth or maybe more like Sydney, whichever is more humid Perth is not humid. It feels terrible here if it ever gets to 60%rh, which is hardly ever. If we get a north/nne wind and there's a cyclone up north it can get above 50% rH. But most of our hot air comes from the central deserts and outback east. Half the houses have evaporative a/c, which wouldn't be so common if we had humid weather on the regular.

I was woken up last night by what sounded like a timeless, interdimensional demon reaving souls in my neighborhood. In my 3/4 asleep state, I wrote it off as some drunk guys in a P85D because it sounded like vicious rolling burnouts with no engine noise  It continued on for ~15mins, slowly growing fainter in the distance and I vaguely wondered who the gently caress was temping police fate that long. Today I was curious, and drove around the neighborhood to find a complete lack of fresh tire marks. After spending some time on youtube listening to nocturnal animal sounds, it would appear I have a local mountain lion

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:EUR is saying it's going right over the Keys. Irma's most likely going to wipe them clean. The Keys are a very long stretch of islands 100 miles long, Key west and the bigger islands are to the west of the predicted landfall. Most of the keys should be relatively fine if the track stays more to the east like it has been. If not then yeah it could be bad, but the track hasn't shown significant movement to the west yet.

And the hurricane force windfield has grown with the latest EWRC, let alone the storm surge - anything 100kms of the centre is going to be hosed, anything 160kms is going to get a pounding and the centre is projected to go over Key Largo. Suggesting that idiot can holiday anywhere in the Keys is just the extreme of optimism that isnt backed by the severe belting Irma has given anything in it's path so far

I don't know if you've been paying attention to the tracks but Irma is not staying east. Not staying east and giving the Tampa area a real hard dunk. Things can change, of course, but things look very bad right now for the whole state. Especially unprepared Tampa type areas.

CommieGIR posted:Irma is currently modeled to envelop the keys. So no. Let alone just finished the EWRC intact and grew quite a deal bigger (The eye itself is 56kms in diameter), is clearly starting to spin up again and about to cruise into 32C+ water. The only hope the Keys have especially with the jogging west is that Cuba does some damage to Irma and brings it down to a cat 3.... which wont matter as the storm surge will still be Cat 5 height and power.
