Built a little garage computer for tunes, youtube, and looking up parts/information. InWin Chopin, 5700G, Gigabyte A520, Noctua NH-L9a, 16 Gigs of 3200MHz ram, WD Blue 500 Gig (ignore that 970... garage don't need 1TB) and an old beach towel for a mod-mat.1yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/sffpc
I installed a whole house water filter in my incoming water line earlier today. The left picture was taken just after filling, air purging, and leak checking. The right was taken after a softener regen cycle then a shower. I get water from my cities municipal water supply.2yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/mildlyinteresting
Just rolled in... 5 months ago. Anybody who says “LS swaps are easy... shits played out!” has never done one. 1992 S10 getting a little 5.3 and 4L65e. Some of the most meticulous work I’ve ever done on something I own. So close to firing it for the first time.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/Justrolledintotheshop
Road tripped from Madison WI to Ann Arbor MI today. Took a piss and got a coffee on the first stop, then took a piss and got lunch on the second. Other than geeking over charging rate, what a boring drive. EVs are perfectly road-trip-able if you’re already used to stopping every couple hours.1yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/electricvehicles

So, that Covid-19 quarantine thing... Shitty cooler + busted dehumidifier evaporator + pet water dish pump + computer fan + bucket o ice water = quiet camping air conditioner. Proof of concept complete.4yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/HVAC
Threw an Overland Vehicle Systems 270 degree awning on the Hiker. Wow, it’s... it’s got a wingspan. Going to head “up-nort’ Wescansin” next week to try it out!1yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/TeardropTrailers
I never thought 200 watt solar panels would look overkill, but here we are. Can’t wait for a summer of off-grid, air conditioned, no room to change camping!3yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/SolarDIY

In (my own “shop”) for knock sensors and trans fluid change. Lo-and-behold, 88 S10’s don’t have a “reduced engine power” light. Took longer than I care to admit to figure out that bad knock sensors put DBW truck LS engines into reduced engine power mode.4yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/Justrolledintotheshop
LED lights were the second best improvement I made in the garage. Anybody want to guess what my favorite improvement was?4yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/HVAC
3 years and 5000 miles. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN over-lubricate bearings, leading to grease churning and overheating. The inside of the hubs were completely packed with grease, preventing excess from flowing out from between the rollers. Careful with those EZ-Lube spindles, folks.6mo ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/TeardropTrailers
LS swap... took it for its first drive today. Things it isn’t: clean, aligned, free of tiny leaks, 100% properly tuned, and finally... shifting into 4th gear. Things it is: fast. Like, loses traction at 45 fast. Sorry no video, had my eyes on too many other things. Nothing blew up, though!5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
LS swap... so many details. Anybody considering this should count on a significant amount of work. None of its terribly difficult, but it is an involved job.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
A picture I forgot I'd taken. The license plate gets me. This was taken last spring in Madison WI, eastbound on Hwy 12/18 between Monona Drive and South Town/Broadway.7yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/readyplayerone
LS swap question. I’m in the beginning stages of a 5.3 truck engine swap into a 1992 2WD. I’d be willing to post as I go and detail some of the finer points if you all would like. Thoughts? Disclaimer: I’m taking this slow and doing this work as good as I know how to. It may be slow at times.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
LS swap... garbage. Progress has been a little slow. I plan on routing the wire harness this weekend and buttoning up the engine and trans. On the bright side, the Speed Engineering headers are tight to the block. I’ll post later on how well they fit the truck.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
Ol’ smokey came out tonight. Also decided to replace the OE control arms... the bushings looked like a dry lake bed. Project is moving along, although slowly.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
LS swap... shoot me. “Rework the factory harness.” they said. “It’ll be perfect when you’re done!” they said. “I’ll hide the harness under the intake!” I said. I’m going to bed...5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10

LS swap info: Factory truck brackets put the PS pump so low, that it can interfere with the steering gear. It took two aftermarket companies (Goat Built & ICT Billet), but the alt and PS pump shouldn’t get in the way. Bonus: an intake tube will clear the PS pump reservoir. No AC here, everybody.5yr ⋅ Nerfo2 ⋅ r/s10
