re: ‘24 Toyota Tundras

Posted by doomsday on 4/19/24 at 8:14 pm

2022 and 2023’s currently have a .5% engine failure rate due to oil starvation from improper block cleaning. Average failure mileage is around 28K so a lot of trucks still have a ways to go. Problem was corrected after March 2023 so the 24’s are good to go from that respect. Still holding my ...

re: Refunds and the Tradition Fund

Posted by doomsday on 8/25/21 at 6:57 pm

Can't argue with anything that you're saying but your main point of contention seems to be LSU' loyalty to its long time season ticket holders. As we both know, there is no loyalty anymore, companies and corporations destroyed that back in the 80's. You have to look out for No.1. I've been going...

Not taking any side here, but LSU had 45-50,000 season ticket holders opt out last year that got full refunds with no ramifications. The Athletic Budget shortfall was somewhere between 60-80 million dollars due to Covid. I don't think LSU was willing to do another full refund policy after last ye...

re: Check Engine Light after Filling-Up

Posted by doomsday on 5/17/21 at 11:32 am

Chevy's are notorious for the gas tank vent solenoids or tank purge valves going out, especially the trucks. If you have a hard time filling up with the pump continuously clicking off, it's usually one of those 2 things. The engine light will go out after fill up sometimes but usually come back on...

re: Pavers over concrete patio?

Posted by doomsday on 4/12/21 at 1:04 pm

Drainage is certainly a concern. I was not comfortable with the pavers being above the slab lines and above the weep holes so I left a 2 foot gap from the brick for drainage and painted the concrete slab. The patio already had the proper tilt for drainage and is completely exposed with brick on 2 si...

I've done it. Glue outside perimeter with landscape adhesive. Use polymeric sand for the joints. The rain draining off the roof will cause you to refresh the polymeric sand every few years where it hits. Much easier than mortar....
