Seat Safety Switch posted:This is a common misconception. Late-model LQ-based Silverados are actually sexually aroused by savage parking lot beatings. LQ is gen 3, that gmc is too new for that. It'll have a gen 4. It still enjoys being rode hard, up until the cylinder deactivation system shits the bed.

GM learned it's a protected citizen and any time it gets in trouble the government will hand over a pile of cash, validating their fine tradition of producing garbage.

The "fail safe board" (switches between two 30A 120V supply cables) in my redundant IP power controller for my server rack, uh, exploded. (Luckily I bought it this way and opened it before powering it on, so I didn't lose any hardware to this. Still have not decided if I'm going to fix it or scrap it.) It did not fail safe. There are scorch marks and metal splatter on the inside of the case as much as a foot away.

If you replace the fuse in a failed computer power supply with a piece of wire, you discover what component failed and popped the fuse. Also fire, and tripped breakers, and just exactly how fast you can unscrew it from the case and hock it out your bedroom window. Ask me how I know!

Noticed road noise getting louder and louder, decided to finally take a look. Well, that inside edge doesn't look great. Other tire exactly the same.

Especially when your very expensive computing hardware will depend on it It's just a relay board with a couple current transformers for load monitoring dude, and I have several degrees in how to design such things, nevermind fixing them. It'll be fine. If it was a critical part of a surge suppression system or something I'd maybe be worried.

I had a fuse blow on a piece of test equipment, thing is, it's some kind of loving military aerospace specific fuse, so it's not available from any of the usual industrial wholesalers or electrical suppliers. My fastest option was to have a whole entire test box overnighted from another site the next day. And a paperclip would fit so perfectly.... And I was pretty sure I knew what the problem was... I ended up waiting.

^^^ that was driven in to the shop, wasn't it? ^^^StormDrain posted:I really wanted one of those when I was looking for a project car. I feel like I had seen a few maybe, and now I see none. In 1982 I had a '66 Econoline van, an old Bell Telephone truck that I bought from a house painter for $275. They ride on solid-beam axles with kingpins, leaf springs at all 4-corners. Incredibly uncomfortable to ride in for more than a half-hour at a time. But drat, mine had 275,000 miles on the factory straight 6 & 3-speed manual and it never stranded me once. The Econoline rampsides were rare even then; I looked for one all through the 80s, but the only ones I found were rusted hulks in salvage yards. They were commercial vehicles, used up & tossed.
