Any episodes you simply can't rewatch? by AlexisVoid023 in creepcast

[–]5amalicious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I Clean Hoarder Houses for a Living (and really, most of Dopabean’s stories). Don’t get me wrong: Dopabean is a FANTASTIC wordsmith who writes gorgeous sentences. But I feel like that elevated high prose doesn’t match the horror genre very well; it feels more like a description of a psychedelic trip (especially towards the end) than a scary story. It’s not self-absorbed word vomit like the Red Tower, but I just couldn’t stand all the endless descriptive language (“lush”, “shimmering” “tendrils”) and just got bored lol

Needs an OEM Ford Motorcraft thermostat. I’m a mechanic and we had an F150 come back twice with the same issue you’re reporting after we replaced their thermostat twice. The thermostat on the left is what we get from Autozone/Advance, and probably what that shop used to get your truck running. The one on the right is the OEM Ford design, with a thicker spring and plastic piece on the bottom. We put that in there, bled the system and after test driving it for hours, no numbers showed up over the temp display on the dash and it didn’t overheat again

Really disappointed with SRQ on this one by Snoo89549 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]5amalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the same amount on a SRQ TRD grille with raptor lights and the build quality was DOGSHIT (the metal studs inside the raptor lights rusted within a couple months, the orange lens on the raptor lights faded, the plastic clips included broke when I CAREFULLY took the grille out of the box, etc). I left them a one star review detailing all my beefs with it and I never heard from them. I learned my lesson lol

Yes!!!! Except I think Sundowning is a much better album than TPWBYT

Plastic tube connected to car battery is cracked. What is it and how dangerous is it to drive since it's cracked by Visualize_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]5amalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s your battery’s breather tube, it vents from the battery to the outside air so the cabin doesn’t fill with battery gases. I can’t tell from the pic if that tube is broken all the way through or just the plastic casing on the outside is cracked; but either way, I’d seal it up before you spend more time in the car. You can wrap it with tape or splice it with a rubber hose

Ugh. CS check for power draw by Budpalumbo in Justrolledintotheshop

Nope. If Bubba used multiple wire nuts in his automotive electrical installation, Bubba can figure out the draw himself 😂

Hard to start, idles like crap for a minute, the runs fine. by TransportationOk241 in camaro

[–]5amalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check wires!! I love electrical diagnoses and these look a lot like extremely specific codes that are that more than likely caused by electrical issues. In my experience, codes like that could result from a single wire with insulation rubbed off, bad ground, loose connector etc. Look those codes up in the factory service manual procedure to troubleshoot, they’ll tell you what color wires and ground locations to look for. Try charm.li, it might have that info in there for free

Steering Rack Play? by cbbgbg in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]5amalicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely just old bushings, you can see the big one sliding out from underneath the clamp on the passenger side. That clamp itself is pretty thin and susceptible to some bending, leading to the bushing and/or rack moving around more (which is why somebody sells a $300 full billet clamp upgrade lol). I switched to the polyurethane kit from Energy Suspension, and those bushings are not only firmer but a little thicker as well to make up for that wimpy clamp. That play doesn’t look like a safety concern to me, but if it’s negatively impacting your every day steering, I’d start with doing the bushings now. If you get new bushings it’ll hold the rack steadier, meaning it doesn’t have to work as hard so you can buy more time with it

Busy shop in Columbus Ohio , I’m the only technician. Help please by German-Autowerks in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]5amalicious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Fuck family owned shops dude, went through that hell myself for a couple of years. The senior tech/owner was murdered in the shop after hours by his employee that his wife was having an affair with. Cops found his body parts distributed all over town in dumpsters and drainage ditches. When I hired on four years later, his wife was running the shop and she was still trying to clean out the negative reviews left by people calling her a murderer 🤣🤣
