  1. Just traded my 2018 XLT for a 21 Lariat at Mac Haik Houston. Paid 39.2K for the XLT in 2018 and traded it in for $35K! The lariat was pricey but I couldn't pass up the trade offer on my 2018. Inventory is a shit show right now and I tried to buy a few different trucks before I landed on the Lariat.

    Fuck thieves. Finally got the parts to get the timing chain rattle fixed on the 3.5 and the shop calls me and says that someone took a sawzall to the exhaust system trying to steal the converters. They weren’t all that careful with it, so there is quite a bit of damage underneath. $25 payday at the junkyard turns into a likely insurance claim. Apparently they have hit our area pretty hard lately. Wish I had some idea of when it may have happened as we have cameras on our driveway, but it could have been anywhere.

    that sucks man im sorry. been hearing similar stories in austin lately

    There are a ton of stock bots that will notify you via Discord when stock drops. The best chance you'll get a new processors/GPUs is via the newegg mobile app and Apple Pay. Literally one click and two presses of the power button and Apple Pay fills out all of your information for you. 

    I'm building a new PC this weekend with some significant upgrades. Currently running a Ryzen 1600x and a 1080Ti. I have my Ryzen 5800x on the table behind me and I'm upgrading to a Gigabye Vision 3080 (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3080VISION-OC-10GD#kf) since I'm going for an all white build.  Should pair really well with my Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor. 

    Discord does work and I was lucky enough to get a 3080 founders edition by following a stock tracking discord. Lately I've had even better success using the HotStock app.

     

    Over the weekend I was able to get a 5800X, 5900X, and Xbox Series X using the HotStock app. The discord stock bot I was following didn't notify me on any of those drops but hotstock did.

  4. Anyone in Austin looking for a Ryzen 5800X? I got one through amazon and then a few hours later was able to get a 5900X, which is what I really wanted. Planning to return the 5800X but would be happy to sell to someone local at cost.

    Installed this and got an alert that it was available at the MS store about 15 minutes ago.  I was looking at my phone when the alert popped up and they were already out of stock by the time the MS store loaded on my browser.

    Appreciate the heads up though, maybe I'll get lucky.

    Yeah that sounds typical but just keep trying. It took me about 10 attempts to check out at best buy before it would go through. I also was able to get a new AMD cpu that is extremely tough to find right now. Tooks 3 or 4 notifications before I got one.

    I'm not coming off that mountain until I find that animal.  Period.  I'm tagging it upon discovery.  Geo-tagging the location with watch.  Salvaging what I can.  Taking the rack, and alerting the game warden of what happened (as often leaving an up-processed carcass is a big no-no.  

    If I absolutely can't find the animal - I'm so sick and disgusted I'm done.  

    This. Wounding an animal and not finding it is probably the worst part of hunting.

    Anyone had any problems with the 10 speed transmission from Ford/GM? I have it in my F150 and havent really had any issues other than some jerky shifts in traffic. My wife has an expedition with the 10 speed and it started making a clunk noise at 6K miles when you shift into or out of 4th gear. It's at Covert ford in Austin and holy shit are these guys incompetent. I'm worried the expedition might just be a lemon. 

    quick update - covert performed some ford service bulletin and the noise has gone away for now. I'm slightly gruntled at this point. 

    I've bought 3 new fords from mac haik in houston and had a good experience each time. They will fuck you big time if you show up without doing your homework though. I got 25% off on a new f150, then 20% off a new F150 an 20% off a new expedition. Basically just paid internet price without haggling much. 

  8. Yep they said they wouldn't take it since we had taken it to covert first. I didn't push very hard because it's such a beating dealing with these guys. My next step is to get ford involved

    I don't have a 10-speed, can't help with that.

    But I took my F150 into Covert Ford for a couple of recalls and a minor warranty repair, and it took them two weeks.  They didn't even take it into the shop for diagnosis on the repair for 8 days, despite me having made an "appointment" almost a month prior.

    I asked upthread if any of the Austin-area dealer service departments were any better than any others, and the general consensus was that they're all bad.  So we've got that going for us.  Which is not nice.

    I called Mac Haik Georgetown and they literally refused to accept my vehicle...warranty is cool until you have to actually use it.
