![]() ![]() Need your serpentine belt checked out? Schedule an appointment today. Quick fact: If your serpentine belt is loose, you may have other mechanical problems like under-performing water pump, which can cause the engine to overheat. When this happens, all the accessories powered by the engine go kaput and the vehicle will stop running. Worst-case scenario: a loose belt may come off of its pulleys. ![]() If there is not enough tension, a belt can slip, squeal or run hot. Most tensioners feature an internal spring and pulley, which applies needed force against the serpentine belt to keep it tight. And, like a rubber band, it must maintain a balance of flexibility and tension. Your serpentine belt is like one giant, fast-spinning rubber band. These tensioners are designed to hold a predetermined amount of tension on the serpentine belt so it functions properly and keeps your car cruising. Many of today’s vehicles are equipped with a self-tensioning device called an automatic belt tensioner. What is a “belt tensioner,” and what is the benefit of replacing it when a belt is replaced? ![]() ![]() Make time to have your belt inspected.Īn annual car inspection or a visual inspection during an oil change is good way to determine your belt’s current condition, while giving you an idea of when it needs replacement.ĭrive with peace of mind. By replacing your belt periodically, you can minimize the risk of breakdown. Broken hoses and belts are bad a damaged engine is even worse. What’s more, the parts it controls can become severely damaged. That means when your belt breaks, slips and, ultimately, wears out, everything-from the power steering pump to the alternator and air conditioner-stops working. What is the benefit of having a belt replaced?ĭriving on an old belt is a disaster waiting to happen because it powers most all of an engine’s accessories. Schedule an engine belt inspection at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. An old belt can even snap, leaving you up the creek without one, drive torque to all of the engine’s accessories is lost. An aging belt can also begin slipping or squealing, become contaminated with fluid or become misaligned, in which case it will need to be replaced. They can wear, fray, crack or become shiny or “glazed,” and rubber parts can peel off the belt. Get your engine belt inspected or replaced. Before this all-in-one serpentine solution, cars were equipped with many different belts to power individual parts and components. Some rides may have an additional belt to run select accessories, but the serpentine does the bulk of the work. Today, there’s one belt to run them all-well, for the majority of vehicles. Need your engine belt inspected or replaced? Schedule an appointment. One thing to remember: in most cases, if the belt breaks, the vehicle will stop running. Others have a self-tensioning mechanism that can experience wear over time and may need to be serviced. However, some belts are manually tensioned and may need to be adjusted. Under ideal conditions, a belt should stick with you for an average of 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Serpentine belts are built to last-much longer than before because of advancements in rubber technology. How often does a serpentine belt need to be replaced? That said, it’s critical that regular inspections are done to make sure the belt is in good shape. Now that vehicles employ a single belt-the serpentine belt-that’s no longer an issue. Though each belt could be replaced individually, these cars experienced inconsistent or compromised performance as individual belts began to wear down. Didn’t cars used to have more than one belt?īack in the day, cars had individual belts for many components. The serpentine belt is one long, snaking, winding belt that keeps your alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning and-in some cases-your water pump running smoothly and effectively. Well, it won’t keep your pants up, but it does transport power to your vital automotive components. ![]()

![]() I like your method, but unfortunately Linode don’t have a cloud firewall (although I did see that they are beta testing one currently and planning to roll one out in the future). I enabled 794 because I’m really interested in the new technology of QUIC, and honestly it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I’m out on cellular and I see my phone using QUIC to do DNS requests on my own VPS with custom blocklists □ but that feeling wouldn’t be worth it if my VPS became part of a bot-army □ĭo you mind me asking which VPS provider you use? I’m trying out Linode right now. Yeah, I mean I’m guessing there shouldn’t be too much risk, right? But then again, the more ports exposed the greater the surface area for potential exploitation :/ plus I just feel more sceptical about exposing a web server through 443 than just the DNS server on 853 and 794, but maybe that doesn’t make sense and could just be me being paranoid? Ha oh really? Nice! Good to know I’m not the only one trying out this method :) I don’t know if my current compromise is safe, too strict, or just right, and so would appreciate any feedback :) That’s not really an option because I like using the VPS AGH for one of my DoT enabled routers. Is this safe enough? Or am I even going overboard? I quite liked having 443 open so I could log in to the web interface from anywhere, but read someone who also used a VPS say they didn’t like exposing their AdGuard Home to the internet and so tunnelled their DNS through a VPN. If I want to log into the web interface, I have to SSH into the VPS first, shutdown the adguard docker instance and rerun it with port 443 TCP also enabled (bit of a hassle). I also haven’t opened port 53, and only have the docker container expose port 853 TCP for DNS-over-TLS and 794 UDP for DNS-over-QUIC. I tried taking precautions, and am using a docker container. You can set up Adguard as a container or as a native service using a single script: curl -s -S -L \. You get many DNS resolution solutions, such as DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over QUIC, within one single project. But how safe is it to expose AdGuard Home to the internet? Of the open source DNS options I've used, Adguard Home is the easiest to set up and maintain. I setup a VPS and installed AdGuard Home on to it so I can use my own AdGuard DNS server with custom blocklists anywhere and share it with friends and family.

The airport will disappear from the Utility and after a few seconds will show up again. If you are doing a reset of an airport that has been set up previously, use a ballpoint pen, paperclip or similar object to hold in the small reset button that is left of the WAN port on the backside of the airport (may be in a different location depending on model). With the Utility open, your airport should now show up in the left column. Also plug in the power cord on the airport. Plug the cable into the circular WAN port on the airport.

High-quality metal roofing can last twice as long as other materials. Lightly colored and reflective metal ones can reduce the heat island effect (the heat that radiates back into the atmosphere, which causes urban areas to be hotter than they should be). Sustainability – Metal roofs are ideal for sustainability and energy efficiency. Whether it’s an old roof or a new one, paint for a metal roof can increase its life and also reduce the average cost of energy. And the good news is that painting them can be an added bonus by increasing their lifespan even further.
