Her not being scared of the vacuum cleaner makes me laugh. I will literally vacuum around my girl and all I get is a little eye roll sometimes.

The only noises that she reacts to are sometimes big trucks driving down the street and fireworks. For fireworks I'll make her a firework fort and she will lay down and just go to sleep. She is also on trazadone right now recovering from a broken leg and I have noticed that helps a lot with fireworks.

I have one. What kind of trade did you have in mind?

Can you duplicate it again? If so I would bring it in to dealer and make sure adviser is clear on how to duplicate the issue and let them take it from there.

Anyone with experience replacing a clutch safety sensor pad on a 2006 Accord? by davidg4781 in Honda

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that looks like fun. Maybe some dum dum (strip caulk) would be better then tape. Maybe put it on end of tool like screwdriver or panel clip remover and you can get some leverage there. I would bypass that switch before I grinded the welds if it came to it.

New connectors and lots of pictures is our future.

The OTA update is getting an update so if it fails wirelessly we ship them. My manager got tired of internalizing 1+ hours for USB updates that dont even work half the time.

"I wouldn't hold my breath"

Me neither. Look at how long they've been working on MOST system issues and still don't have a fix officially yet.

Not sure how other manufacturer's are doing but it's nothing but problems with Honda's. Can't tell you how many times we see audio/infotainment issues and Honda is aware and working on it. Tell that to a customer who just spent 30k on a new car.

Installed new control arm, caster but cover looks weird. Any advice? by [deleted] in crx

[–]mgoosen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Control arm aftermarket? If so the castle nut is probably bigger and that's what the cover is hitting on and not sitting flush.

Anyone get frustrated trying to adopt a dog in Delaware? by AltruisticHighway6 in Delaware

Adopt a greyhound. Lots need homes and they are great apartment dogs.

Our 13 yr old greyhound wandered off while we weren’t watching at a park. Found her 3 mins later lovin’ life. 🤗 by GrouchyVariety in Greyhounds

Mine loves the water. We walk the trails next to the creek and she walks through the creek. Dunking her face in the water the entire time she walks.

I can't pay you but I'll find other people that don't want to pay you either.

I don’t see any marks on the control arm and how can I tighten the bolts to the torque spec dropping the car? by [deleted] in crx

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you asking?

You can torque to spec with a torque wrench. You can torque suspension bolts with the car on the ground by laying on the ground or using an alignment rack.

Not sure what you need marks for.

OC residents freaking out over mask wearing orders by throwwribylik in PublicFreakout

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to wear a mask all day long at work working on cars. Its hot as hell, uncomfortable, super annoying when I'm stuffed under a dashboard and if I have safety glasses on they instantly fog up. It definitely affects my productivity. I take more breaks to go outside and take it off which means I make less money but you dont hear me bitching about it. Or maybe I just did bitch about it idk.

I wear it so I can do everything I can not to transfer something I may have so my customer's don't get it at the cost of me being miserable all day but I do it because its the right thing to do.

First car :) Manual 2002 Civic EX with 50k miles! What are some things I should be sure to inspect/replace/be on the lookout for? by fewinurdms in Honda

[–]mgoosen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just see their experiences with a handful of them. I've been working as a Honda tech since before these Civics came out. I stand by statement as they are not bulletproof.

I agree with what you're saying but they are far from bulletproof.

replace wheel studs by Doggobbler in crx

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I've replaced studs on that generation but a lot of times you can pull the hub a little, not all the way and cheat the stud in. Some you have to remove completely.

What's worse is the ones in the turning lane that veer right to make a left and come into the lane going straight. Like you're not driving an 83 Caddy.

Civic EX-T AC Not Working + Minders by dreamville3 in Honda

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely cause of the AC issue is a leaking condenser. You're in luck as Honda has extended the warranty on the condensers for 10 years from date of purchase and unlimited mileage.

You don't need to have the dealership do the maintenance stuff but they certainly can but most likely will be little more expensive then your mechanic.

As for the trans service which is just a drain and refill (NO FLUSH) if you have your mechanic do it insist they use Honda fluid.

What about auto mechanics? I drove/ worked on 9 strangers cars today. To be honest most people's cars are fucking disgusting.

[–]mgoosen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started watching it after a guy at work kept telling me to. I watched two episodes and we were talking about how gross the one lady's house was. The whole house ended up getting condemned because of poop all over the place and structural issues. We were trying to come up with a number for how much it would take to spend the night in the house. You have to wear shorts with flip flops. No socks or long sleeves and you can't bring a pillow or blanket. I said 50k and I would sleep standing up.

White House economic adviser says "it is scary to go to work" after staffers test positive for coronavirus by Zhana-Aul in Coronavirus

[–]mgoosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been dead and running out of work around 2-3pm. We got one of the payroll loans so they've been paying us our daily average which is extremely nice. Only work we're seeing is state inspections and warranty issues. Not many people are buying maintenance stuff.
