    What is the correct name for this breaker?

    I'm not doubting that the polarity exists, it's why. Fuses don't have that. My understanding is that breakers break either because a bimetallic strip heats and deforms breaking the connection or with an electromagnet that breaks when enough current is applied to the magnet to trip it (not sure...

    What is the correct name for this breaker?

    Huh. That doesn't matter sense to me based on my knowledge of how they work. Looks like it's time to jump down a rabbit hole.

    What is the correct name for this breaker?

    Would it matter in a simple 2 terminal breaker?

    Engine backfiring through throttle body when trying to accelerate

    For some reason I thought that the fuel filters were inspected/changed already. You have a water separator on there? But yeah, sorry, water in your fuel or other constriction is definitely something to rule out

    Is it an Alpha, Gen 2 Shift Assist Assembly issue?

    What Scott said, but sounds more like a faulty shift interrupt switch if you aren't stalling. A lot of times people will disconnect the SIS because the lower cable is bad. Do you have a roller style switch or the plunger type? When you try to get out of gear the plate should move, the switch...

    1999 4.3L...

    Yes it can. I'd run it at operational temp for a while and see what happens

    Engine backfiring through throttle body when trying to accelerate

    He's got diacom data above.... As mentioned, I'd definitely start with a compression test to make sure you don't have a stuck valve

    Great idea if you can find one by the hour--most have decided that it's way more profitable to take a percentage of AUC. Which still ends up being sizeable. Fiduciary is the only way to go though if someone will be giving you advice/managing your money. IMO NOT being a fiduciary should be...

    Problem with that is that it can encourage overly aggressive investing, since it isn't really their money. Bigger problem is that the commission statistically is greater than with a passively managed low fee fund.

    Happy Birthday, Scott

    How does everyone know your birthday? I'm just a few weeks from half a buck and want everyone to forget about it.

    Also, there's no way your guy is only making $35 a year off of you.

    Dude, if you can't see how this is totally racist then I got nothing for you. "These (fill in ethnicity/religion/nationality) are known to be (fill in characteristic: criminals/rapists/musicians/good at math)". That sentence wouldn't fly. Also, your analogy about a plumber fixing a vehicle is...

    I have funds with Fidelity and vanguard, and both offer absurdly low fee index funds. Schwab has them as well. It's been shown over and over that actively managed funds don't outperform indexes and that the management fees take a huge bite of of your earnings over time. If you want to keep it...
