About a year ago I had a car fire from the fan assembly of my neon freezing up. While in a normal car the fuse would trip and the car would overheat a Dodge doesn't work that way so this occurred. The fan assembly actually fell out   Burned the coolant tank pretty well  Radiator needed to be replaced and was pretty crispy    Wish I had more and better pictures but its been over a year now since it happened. Amazing thing was my dad picked the car up and in a weekend had the drat thing fixed and running again. It idles high now till the engine warms up but he uses it to get back and forth to work now and hasn't had a problem with it at all otherwise. Neons don't loving die

Obsoletely Fabulous posted:At least we don't come into your state and drive 5 under the speed limit in the left lane like Ohio drivers do in Michigan. No that's because when I drive through Michigan they look for any reason to pull you over if you have out of state plates like Ohio. I have been pulled over for 5 over when people were passing the cop at 70 (gently caress the UP goddamn so many people where pulled over on my ride through that hell) and I got pulled over for doing the speed limit on the interstate and that time they never even gave me a reason. Hell they said it was cause of our plates and that we weren't speeding!

Geoj posted:A good friend of mine in former law enforcement...in Ohio at least its common practice to not even bother until someone is going more than 10 over the limit. I routinely set my cruise control at +10 over the posted limit and can blow by LEOs doing traffic duty with impunity. Unless you do something else to provoke them (swerving, not staying in your lane, not using turn signals, etc.) you're not going to be pulled over for only doing <5 over the limit in 99% of cases. Or at the end of the month when they suddenly start caring. Troopers might not care so much from what I heard about latetly in Ohio but the townships and cities sure do. at just about 5 over none of them care unless they think you're drunk but other then that they really don't. End of the month is always the best though. So many people get pulled over for just blazing.

Our place has started doing the 5s crap about a year ago now. Busibody manager is a good way to put it. Giant easels that were used for about a month that no one bothers with now except to write notes to themselves, labeling that got beyond stupid in a month, and the guy not having any idea about a machine shop so trying to reduce cycle times with no idea on what he was doing. Some of the ideas are good such as identifing our main places that cause us to lose money because of idiocy and cleaning up the piles of junk that accumulate in our shop but most of its a waste of time and money for little gain. We honestly have probably lost money from this stupid thing. They haven't got my area yet thank god. Night shift means they never see me and as of right now I'm the only one that is actually trained and knows our equipment enough to start the process. And until one guy quits it won't happen because he's an idiot. An idiot that puts machines together backwards and upside down.

If it was allowed and wouldn't violate ndas I'd take a pic of some of what we do, some of the poo poo is just plain weird. Lots of exotic material that they want plus or minus a few tenths on that the sinker manufactor laughed at us when we asked. New stuff from one is this super dense and light diamond composite that you can technically machine, but God help you trying to edm it on a sinker, the machine barely sees it.

I'm sorry to say but most of those classes don't teach you poo poo. I'm taking courses because my boss wants me to and I already can teach them based on what I have been learning. At most in lab you learn how to make chips and maybe make a small design. Also theory on chip velocity and how they fly when cut? Jesus Christ you need your money back.

Actually that is based on old design stuff where you would base stuff off one corner or edge and everything would then be machined to that spot, it's from when most stuff would get almost finished before heat treat then grinded to size after heat treat. It was easier to do it to one corner then to a central hole when that hole could drift. We have one customer that does stamping dies and punches and everything they do is based off the top right corner as 0,0. It's pretty prevelent in old tool and die shops still even with cad software and new tech to finish stuff hardened.

Who here hasn't been guilty of banging their head into the keyboard for a program or cad file. Hell I learned mastercam that way when the head of wire edm quit and we had no one trained. That was fun, learned how the whole drat thing worked through gently caress that didn't work effort. Taper and 4 axis was hell though.

mekilljoydammit posted:I suppose I should elaborate. It's not "everything referenced to one corner or one hole" It's... the first hole referenced to a corner, then the next hole referenced to that one, the third hole referenced to the second one, the fourth hole referenced to the third... oh my god they do everything incremental? holy balls I've seen some bad loving prints but never one like that in actual production. Also we have fixed some Chinese jobs for roll forming mills, concentrically was a prayer and runout was "what is runout". I think if I remember right usually we would tell the customer that its not worth it to attempt to make them usable because the chroming and time required equaled the same as making them brand new.

It's that loving dimension the engineer wants everything based from, which is a second dimension that can only be done if this datum is right and that needs this datum to be right and in the end this feature here needs to be true to datums A B E and F by .001 but if datum B is off by .0005 then A and E are out gently caress you just do it Don't work in medical production btw.

Rad-daddio posted:I wish it was. I finally talked the owner into sending it out to an EDM shop. Even then, it's still a 4 axis job. You did this all on a mill? Jesus, yeah this is a simple 4 axis program you could do with a 1 cut to make the whole piece, it probably would be cheaper and less scrap hassle to do in a wire. At most I could do this in two ops in a wire with a half rear end setup, Likely you could make a whole run from one piece of material if you program and setup the job right in one of my machines. I'm happy you donlt make them on a mill anymore that sounds horrid

Also you get to see smoke rise from your balls as they do it which is nuts in its own right

I think it be fine until you hit a bump then Jesus take the wheel as that tire goes all over. Turning would definitely be an experience though. The noise alone must be insane, let alone the noise from the bearing which has to be shot.

NoWake posted:I was building a base for a backyard shed, and took my colorado to the quarry for a bed's worth of graded aggregate base. The operator happily obliged. Later on, after repeatedly tagging my bumper on the street at the incline of my driveway, I looked below and I found my leaf springs were shaped like lazy W's. This was one reason I was happy that the place by us would just bring a truck and raise the bed to dump gravel when we got new gravel for the drive way. Absolutely terrified I'd gently caress my dad's truck bed up.

Holy poo poo the welds are some scary bunged up cheese, the suspension has multiple cracks and holes, the bumper is literally just a tacked on piece of tube stock. You keep watching and more and more comes out that makes you go what the gently caress. Including bolts that have inches of washers on them for reasons I don't comprehend

I think Aussie is pretty flat on most of the areas those truck conveys run, that and those have max speed of what 50? My understanding is that at a certain point you basically can only run in mining areas though.

Bp at some stations has the pumps switched, everywhere else it's green for diesel, seen a few bps where gasoline was green and black was diesel, all on the same pump. Almost hosed my wife's car up because of it before but caught it because the nozzle is bigger. When I drove interfacility ambulance we had that every few months from new hires or tired people. Some of our squads were diesel, others were gas. Really easy to gently caress up after a long shift and from someone dead tired or brand new.

Seen Chevy ones fail, mainly it being that the drat gears strip because they cheap out and make them plastic. Then again snow belt areas and people do gently caress with them hard and try to let the small motors move 100 pounds of snow.

Rivian is much more of a danger then Tesla to them electric wise. Dodge might be a ared of Tesla, but dodge basically doesn't exist outside the Dodge ram at this point especially when the charger and Challenger lines get shut down this year.
