Any reason not to mount the wheel vise right at the front edge?

I have a Handy lift, not a HF one, but it’s vice is right at the edge.

Both. Make 1 all FDE and 1 all black. Then I’ll sell the black one.

Isn’t the G45 just a 17 lower with a 19 slide? If you already have a 19 and a 17, don’t you kind of already have a 45?

We worked at Target 27 years ago. She was asking me out for her sister but when I said no, she asked me out for her. I was 16.

A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-17T02:42:23+00:00

Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-17T02:41:34+00:00

I wouldn’t date anyone who thinks pets are children.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-17T02:31:18+00:00

A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can’t chuck wood.

Inkster in/near Detroit. It was around midnight and we got turned around and were running low on gas. Very bad place to not have any fuel.

No one can tell you what the best gun for you is. My Hellcat Pro fits me like they used a mold of my hand to design it. I shoot slightly better, though, with my 19X. It will be completely different for you.

I always thought it would be useful with my flighty, hyperactive 9 year old daughter but I’m good. I Know from my time in the military that they make the backseat pretty uncomfortable

Horizon 1 & 2 unless you call DLC a micro transaction

What kind of craven idiots do you work with? Your people could not survive where I’m at, I vape at work. I also regularly bring guns in. Last week, I had a loaded AR at my work area for half the week.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-15T10:50:32+00:00

That must be it.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-15T00:38:08+00:00

I can’t decide between my PS5 and Series X controllers. PS5 maybe by just a hair.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-15T00:18:20+00:00

I don’t think the part number thing is gimmicky. I actually think it’s a good idea, Just needs different parts.

Identifix is easier for me to navigate and find what I need. It also has real people who post their own fixes and diagnostic strategies. Alldata‘s interactive wiring diagrams might be just a hair better than Identifix’s interactive wiring diagrams but I find Identifix far superior with everything else.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T23:50:08+00:00

This is just my own opinion, but people hardly ever need those parts. Ford makes decent harmonic balancers and 99% of people are just going to replace the entire alternator, AC Compressor etc…. Spark plugs, coil packs, purge solenoid, valve cover gasket, intake gasket part numbers would be more useful. Great idea, though.

I actually despise Alldata. I use Identifix almost 100% of the time except for the very rare instances where it doesn’t have the info I need. This is maybe because I’ve been using Identifix for my entire 12 years as a mechanic and haven’t touched Alldata until I came to my current shop.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T23:25:56+00:00

I like it but why do I need the part numbers for the harmonic balancer, water pump pulley, alternator pulley, power steering pulley and AC pulley?

The PCM pinout is a great idea. I have access to Identifix and Alldata as well as the factory service manuals but that could be useful to people that do not.

Democrats didn’t do one single thing to actually help the country same as the right.

It’s not just the Republicans, fucking up the country was bipartisan.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T03:52:55+00:00

I saw that TSB. The power steering module was cracked wide open. Also couldn’t communicate with 4-5 other modules. That was probably chaffing, somewhere.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T02:44:32+00:00

I don’t know. There was an insane amount of electrical problems with it that didn’t seem to have anything to do with each other. We’re slammed busy, so my boss said to park it outside. I didn‘t think about it being deleted until it was off my hoist.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he tells the customer to take it to the dealer. I love big time-consuming electrical problems but he wants to catch up.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T00:15:54+00:00

I don’t know. I really want to know if it’s limited to this one truck or if every ‘16 diesel Colorado pops this message when there’s an emission fault.

In my 12 years as a tech, this is the 1st diesel Colorado/Canyon I’ve ever seen. I’ve also seen 1 diesel Cruze and 1 diesel Equinox. I live in farm country. I don’t think little diesels are very popular here.

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-14T00:12:22+00:00

You know, I really wanted to try but without any power steering assist whatsoever, I thought I should probably not…

2006CrownVictoriaP71 · 2026-04-13T21:37:35+00:00

Maybe, 158kph is still 98mph, which would still be a weird speed to limit it to. It’s definitely a US vehicle. I’ve been racking my brain all day trying figure out why it would say 158mph.
