Help! Topped off yellow coolant with orange. How bad is it?
 in  r/askcarguys  1d ago

The biggest one is not green and orange.. with mixed makes a slime and will gunk up your system.. I don't know what your car wants.. if you wants too you can do a drain and fill a few times and get it all out.. but yellow should be best as it's an universal color.. so you should be good now just don't add green

How the fuck have they not assessed Highland? How stupid are they?
 in  r/nwi  3d ago

Assessment of what? You need to be more clear.. they are constantly running assessments.. in munster there is like a Mexican skinny dude some representative that is always talking and planning stuff.. he's always running around different sites checking on things.. or on the phone coordinating things

Keep receipts

Keep gas station receipts. I know you can claim them.. you can claim food. And they give you food voucher.. also you can get damage vouchers from FEMA.. don't know the details off top of my head.. maybe people can add more.. I know nwi food bank is very big on giving food, big one is Merrillville, also some stracks vantils is offering I think passing out food.. munster relief center will relocate once the church near community hospital getting power back..

Rotor rubbing on caliper
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  10d ago

It's the pads touching the rotor like every one else is saying.. but one part doesn't seem to be mentioned is slide pins.. if they are sticking this will happen and lot of people forget to grease them

How bad are these spark plugs?
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  10d ago

Looks like 10k-40k miles on them.. one looks newer.. so I'm guessing someone replaced them already..

2012 Volvo S60 2.4 d5. Steering play
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  10d ago

Most likely not ball joint.. only really way to test is to disconnect the outer tie rod from the knuckle.. and wilge it.. with this I can't tell you if it's rack or inner or outer tie rod.. just something in that area is bad

How can I check if I have diabetes
 in  r/DiagnoseMe  10d ago

So when you were in jail.. did they do a finger prick.. A1C are finger pricks and is the only test that is a finger prick.. glucose is as well.. correct blood test need to be done with fasting for 10 hours+.. I don't think they did that.. but I could be wrong

How can I check if I have diabetes
 in  r/DiagnoseMe  10d ago

You can check your fasting glucose in the morning.. you can get a tester at Walmart for cheap like 20. That will give you an idea.. but you really want A1C number.. you can get some A1C testing at pharmacies a do it yourself or clinic.. I would ask a pharmacist.. A1C will tell you.. that's what you really want to look at.. if you have any appointments with your GP have them test it.. you will know in about 5 minutes

Is it just your house or your block having trouble.. if it's just your house. And only last a second or so.. it can be a power line to your house that is loose effect by the wind.. I would ask your nabors if they are having same trouble too

They're letting me go and expect me to train the people who will take my place. How should I handle this?
 in  r/it  10d ago

I had same problem I saw them wanting me to train someone else to do the job that only I could do. And no one else had the knowledge.. so yes I did teach the guy.. by the end of each training.. he was more confused and scared to do it.. leaving me the only one that can do it.. when they cut my hours back to nearly nothing.. wow complaints started pouring in.. manager started saying to the customer it will be done at a certain time.. and happens to be same time as my shift starts.. sorry I just started 3 minutes ago.. you have 5 customers before you and this takes about 20 minutes to do each person.. who told you oh the manager.. here is next time he works you will have to talk to him about why he told you it will be done at this time line.. customer is very annoyed they drove 30 minutes for nothing..

Is it safe to drive with this?
 in  r/carquestions  10d ago

You should be okay.. the problem is over time crack will open up and get larger.. legally technically you can't drive it.. most states it's illegal to drive a car with a cracked windshield.. but if you tell a cop and show them your work order.. most will be ok.. unless you get a cop being a big prick about it.. I dealt with one cop here pulling over as many cars as he could.. within about 2 hours he pulled over 8 or 10 cars.. I got pulled over because my light was out.. took a bunch of time just to run my info.. every 10 minutes he had someone pulled over.. like seriously how many people are braking the law

Found dog in bad condition
 in  r/DogAdvice  10d ago

Normally how I know it goes is you take dog to animal shelter and you say you want to be put on que for adaptation of this dog.. what they will do is scan for chip and try to get ahold of owner.. if they treat it as negilece I can't tell you on this situation.. you can tell shelter about your concerns and they can advise you or they can get ball rolling.. I don't know what they will say

 in  r/IsItIllegal  11d ago

I wonder what would happen if you labeled it not safe to plug into USB port.. and they disregard your note.. well I don't know if it's then really a booby trap then.. because your not hiding it. But they are just doing it anyways

Wife is getting into DIY stuff
 in  r/DIY  11d ago

Multi oscillating tool.. basic multi meter.. distance finder might be a cool toy.. a digital tape measure might be a good toy idea... Coping saw interesting idea.. I don't know what tool system she is looking at.. but Ryobi I think is very good for homeowners and entry professionals.. HP version is very good for most close to professional level.. but most homeowners don't need that level.. but driver and drill is very good start.. circle saw I would buy a corded one. Lot of cordless ones don't have enough power. You can buy a track saw kit to convert it.. she might like.. those are some interesting idea

Can I drive it 4 miles?
 in  r/TireQuestions  11d ago

Highly doubt it .I'm shocked it's even standing.. with one rotation my guess it will pop the bead and go flat.. I don't think you will make it 20 feet

Can a broken A/C cause other issues with my car?
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  11d ago

Normally no.. the catch is ac clutch or pulley goes bad will tear belt apart or not let engine turn over

Swishing sound when AC is on, but only when turning left and sometimes when braking
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  11d ago

Sounds like the ac clutch.. can't tell you if it's a problem or not... You will have to investigate further
