What's up with my traction control?
I have a 2007 Monte Carlo SS with just under 60k miles on it.
The issue is that when I get in the car, turn it on, and put it into drive, sometimes (of course, it can never be consistent) I hear a grinding noise for a few seconds. It sounds like it's coming from in front of my feet. As it's making the noise I let off the gas pedal, as if I stay on it, the car doesn't wanna go anywhere. Also, as it's making the grinding sound, my traction control dummy light blinks at me.
This issue also sometimes occurs just from coming to a stop and then going again. It's not always right when I get in the car for the first time that day.
Then, after two or three seconds the grinding stops, the traction control light turns off, and I'm on my way. The car drives perfectly normal in every other way.
Oh, although this is weird too. The other day as I took the car from Park to Drive, as I geared through Reverse, my speedometer jumped to like 25, 30 mph and then back down to zero as I geared through to Drive. It was a quick jump. Any ideas?
Thanks!
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoWhat thickness OSB should I use?
I'm looking to replace part of my roof. The back part of my house has an EDPM rubber roof, which is in rough shape. I bought the house this way, and the inspector told me that the roof should last me at least 5 years. Well, it's been less than a year, and during the last rain storm water was dripping through my ceiling, so I guess I can't wait; it needs to be replaced now.
I've been doing as much research as possible so as to do the work myself (and with a few handy friends) because I'm pretty broke right now. What I'm wondering is what thickness OSB I should use should I have to replace my sheathing, which I think is a real possibility. I'm assuming once I take the rubber roof off the sheathing will look pretty shitty. Anyway, the roof is a pretty shallow pitch. I'm not a roofer, so I don't know the exact terms, but I'd say it's maybe pitched 10 to 20 degrees.
Also, I plan on replacing the old rubber roof with a new rubber roof. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Also, feel free to throw in any other roofing advice, because honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing; I'm just hoping I'm smart enough to figure it out and not make things worse.
Also, please no responses like, "Get a professional." Because, the thing is, I don't have the money, but I have the roof problem, so desperate times call for desperate measures. Thanks again!
4 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)8 years agoWrestleMania 29 Dream Card and Outcomes?
WWE Championship
John Cena vs. The Rock (c)
Cena beats the Rock cleanly, and just when you think the night is over and WM is closing with John Cena as the new WWE Champion, the Rock suddenly lays Cena out, and out comes Dolph Ziggler to cash in his MITB contract. Ziggler hits the ring, passing Rock along his way, and puts Cena in the sleeper. Cena goes to sleep (setting up a future feud between Ziggler and Punk) and Ziggler is crowned the new WWE Champion to close out WM29.
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H
It's a back and forth match with Lesnar gaining the upper hand about 3/4 into the match. This brings out Shawn Michaels, ending the match as a DQ win for Lesnar. Lesnar ultimately decimates both men until out comes the Undertaker, coming to the aid of Michaels and HHH who he clearly has respect for considering last years HHH/Undertaker match. Lesnar and Taker brawl until they're forced to be separated by security.
CM Punk and the Shield w/ Paul Heyman vs. The Undertaker
Punk's arrogance and self description as the best in the world leads him to believe he can beat Undertaker at WrestleMania, and he's not taking any chances so he's finally coming clean about working with the Shield and he feels Undertaker can't possibly beat 4 men. Paul Heyman's history as Undertaker's manager at one point (while Undertaker was Mean Mark Callous) could also be used to build this feud. Undertaker wins after the Shield walk out on Punk in frustration. Undertaker then puts Punk in the Hell's Gate, which he also then puts on Heyman, disabling Punk or Heyman from interfering in the HHH/Lesnar match.
World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Mark Henry
Mark Henry makes his return in this match continuing his "Hall of Pain" monster heel gimmick. Alberto Del Rio retains the title cleanly after making Henry tap out to the cross arm breaker, a move that's extra devastating to Henry, who just came back from shoulder surgery.
Dolph Ziggler w/ AJ Lee vs. Chris Jericho w/Vickie Guerrero
Jericho wins after AJ Lee accidentally causes Ziggler to lose, further perpetuating Lee's bad luck at WrestleMania. The two men put on a wrestling clinic in this one, with Vickie and AJ having some comical moments, one of which I'd like to see is Jericho putting the Walls on Lee.
Tag Team Championship
Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio vs. Kane (c) and Daniel Bryan (c)
WWE's pushing the mask gimmick with this match. During the buildup to WM, Daniel Bryan wants to adopt some sort of mask. He doesn't debut the mask until WM (perhaps some sort of goat mask or dragon, if WWE wants to give a nod to his former persona). Sin Cara & Mysterio win and become new tag champions after Daniel Bryan can't see due to mask issues and he causes his team to lose in a somewhat funny fashion. Kane freaks out (turing heel) and destroys Bryan (turning face), leading to an Extreme Rules match between the two.
Ryback vs. the Big Show
Ryback wins after he Shell Shocks Big Show, who's been knocked loopy and is sitting on the top turnbuckle, basically allowing Ryback to Shell Shock him without having to lift his weight up. Nothing too special here, just a big "Oh my, look at the power of Ryback!" from Michael Cole.
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Up to this point, the two could be in a friendly feud with overtones of a Randy Orton heel turn. Orton finally puts the nail in the heel coffin by beating Sheamus at WrestleMania... and then giving him a punt kick.
This is pretty much the only matches I could put together that really matter. I'd like to see an IC Title match and a US Title match as well, but it always seems to be the same guys in those things. I imagine whatever matches would happen involving those titles it would involve a few of the following guys: Wade Barrett, Antonio Cesaro, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, the Miz with possible additions of Damien Sandow, and even guys that either need to return or just did return like Evan Bourne, Santino Marella, or Christian. Maybe some sort of match where both titles are up for grab at the same time but aren't being unified. I don't know exactly, but nothing too complicated.
Anyway, hope you like it.

1 AnswerEngineering9 years agoChevy 100,000k/5-year powertrain warranty?
I have a 2007 Monte Carlo SS with 43.5k miles on it. I've owned the car from new and I've always babied it.
I recently took it into the dealer for them to look at the transmission since it was acting up (I've since read that this is a common problem for these cars, so thanks GM for your shotty workmanship). The dealer called me back today and told me that they found a random bolt bouncing around in the transmission pan. They basically said that while it was bouncing around in there, metal shavings came off of it and went with the transmission fluid into the transmission itself, and this was what was causing the problem. They asked me if I had ever had the transmission pan removed and put back into place, and I said, "no," which is the truth. The car has only had routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations.
I have, however, taken the car to a local mechanic's shop and had my mechanic friend do some of that routine maintenance for a lower price than the dealer's outrageous labor charge. So, that brings me to my question:
My 100,000k/5-year powertrain warranty will still cover my transmission problems, right? I'm just worried that GM will try to stiff me into paying for the repairs to the transmission because I took my car to a non-GM mechanic before the powertrain warranty was out.
They pretty much rebuilt the transmission from what I understand, and I'm going to be livid with not only GM but the dealer as well if I'm forced to pay for 1 cent of the repairs. The car only has 43.5k on it and clearly has been treated properly. I just know that nobody, especially companies, like hearing that they have a bill coming their way. So, will my warranty cover it undoubtedly, or will GM use my not taking it to the dealer every 3,000 miles as a scapegoat for them to not have to pay out?
Thanks in advance!

5 AnswersWrestling9 years agoWhat's wrong with my dog?
I have a two-year-old great dane named Quagmire (yes, after Family Guy). He's a great dog; he doesn't pull me when I walk him; he doesn't bark much; he listens to me really well. That's why his problem is even that much more bizarre.
Every time I start watching adult films, he starts to lick his penis. It's slower at first but gradually becomes faster. It's kind of creepy because he'll pause to look up at the computer screen and then he'll go back to licking himself some more. He does the same thing when my girlfriend and I have sex. Then when it's over, whether it's pornography or my girlfriend and me, he stops licking himself and goes to sleep.
He's done this since he's about six months old and so I've kind of gotten used to it, but I still don't like it. It just creeps me out and I'm tired of cleaning up after him. We just haven't been able to come up with the money to get him fixed, but if he keeps this up I don't know what I'm going to do.
Is something wrong with him? I've heard of dogs humping peoples' legs, but never a dog that masturbates to human pornography. I've thought about buying a female dog to help curb the problem, but again, I don't have the money. Plus, whenever he plays with our neighbor's yellow lab, Sparkle, he doesn't seem interested in her sexually.
Please help. I know this is a bizarre question, but it is what it is.

I'm gonna be working for SteriCycle in the near future as a plant worker.
I'm just wondering what it's like to work for them regarding pay and how pay raises work there, working atmosphere, time off, drug testing (I don't do drugs; I just don't like the idea of being forced to piss in a cup all the time). I pretty much just want to know whatever information I can get my hands on.
Serious answers only please. No "ask your supervisor" or anything like that. I'm trying to find out as much on my own without having to ask my superiors--who will probably be bias towards the company anyway.
Thanks in advance!

Why is my penis so skinny? Is something wrong with me?
I'm 16 years old and it's 8.3" long when it's erect, but it's really skinny, like maybe a little thicker than a sharpie. I knew it was skinny from watching porno, but I know those guys are exceptionally big. I just joined the swim team and saw my friend, Todd's, penis while we were changing and mine is much skinnier than his.
Please help, I don't know what's wrong with me. Will women still like me?
8 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender10 years agoWhat's the pay rate for a Stericycle production worker?
I'm about to start a production job with Stericycle, the medical waste disposal company, and I'm wondering what the general salary is for the position. I'm starting at $11.50 an hour, but haven't been told anything yet about how quickly my pay will advance, if at all. My dad works at a manufacturing plant nearby that pays their machine operators upwards of $22 an hour within a year of their start date. I don't know what Stericycle's policy is, but I'm hoping I can at least reach the $16 range in the not too distant future.
If anyone has any information on this topic, or anything regarding Stericycle, I'd love to hear it. I'd appreciate serious answers only, but it's Yahoo Answers, so I figure I'll get a few bogus ones. Thanks in advance!

8 AnswersWrestling1 decade agoWhy is my washer constantly displaying LOAD FULL?
I have a two-year-old Maytag Bravos top-load washer and everytime I do laundry it displays LF, which I assume means LOAD FULL. It doesn't matter if I put in one piece of clothes or 50, it always says LF about 5 minutes into washing which forces me to drain all the water and start all over again. I tried just resuming the wash cycle, but the washer beeps at me until I turn off the whole washer and, like I said, start over.
It also doesn't matter what wash setting I put it on; it still does it. I was wondering why it does this, and if there's a way to turn off the censor or something.
Thanks in advance!
