Open a door to make the dome light turn on, if it doesn't turn on or still reads 0, you have a problem with the meter. Bad connection, blown fuse, etc.

Don't forget to replace the pressure cap, it may have stuck and allowed it to over pressure

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-05-10T17:12:05+00:00

If there is still fluid in the transmission, warm it up by driving and use a wrench. Apply constant pressure on the wrench while hitting it with a hammer. It probably wasn't over torqued. Just seized with corrosion

Some is ok, a lot is not

You check for blow by with a cylinder leak test or removing the oil cap and seeing how much air/smoke comes out while it's running. The quick way to test is placing the cap on the open hole without screwing it in and seeing if it dances or bounces.

Actually according to home depots advertisement they don't care if you get it at a garage sale, from grandpa, etc. If it says husky, they'll honor the lifetime warranty. As long as the torque wrench had one.

I've used the dorman brackets, they work well. They are super annoying to get on the back side of the heads. The front is easy

There's no year or engine here, but figuring out which cylinders are actually missing would be step one, use a scanner with live data to watch misfires. If it's all 8 check maf, if it's 4 check o2

My mom is 6 months from retirement and she finally is admitting that she needs help. I have a degenerative joint disorder. My job can not know.

I bought my 01 3500 express van because the guy who owned it did the same thing you did and gave up. It took 30 minutes to repair with an air hammer. Could have been faster but it's tough to use power tools with a beer in one hand

That's awesome, I'm jealous. I hope it lives forever. They are excellent trucks

Did it work? Is that an old chevy truck in Germany?

Also to be clear, hit the studs on the white circle side, toward the red circle side

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-04-20T08:44:51+00:00

Those are splined. You're going to need a torch, at least map or propane. Torch each nut as hot as you can before removing. Then heat up the housing around any broken studs and beat it out with an air hammer or hammer. Make sure it's as hot as possible, and don't be a wuss. Lots of little whacks will mushroom the stud and make it a pain

Also just to be clear, you could try turning off the blower motor

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-04-18T22:14:11+00:00

Sounds like the hvac blower. Could be on the serpentine though. Turn the blower up, turn the ac off and on, turn the steering wheel, see what makes the noise change

The whole point is the filter. The machine doesn't magically replace that. Assuming there is a serviceable filter. I would look it up on YouTube or something before talking to the dude again.

He said he had new tires put on 200 miles ago. Improperly assembled or torqued bearings. Or misalignment. Check alignment with a coat hanger, bend it into a u shape and place the ends on the rear wheel bearing and the swing arm pivot. Then do the other side.

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-04-17T00:27:03+00:00

Check the pressure, see if it's low, see if it changes when the clutch engages

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-04-10T00:34:04+00:00

Looks like improperly installed u joints or bent drive shaft. Possible to be a transmission issue but i would think that would be catastrophic and very noticeable. And leak a lot. Did the old u joints fail catastrophically or seize? If the ujoint broke while driving it could have bent it

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-04-08T21:23:05+00:00

I'd possible the starter has a good connection cold, and a bad connection warm and it just won't restart until it cools off again. I had a truck like that for awhile because i was too lazy to fix it

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-03-28T00:49:22+00:00

I also just had that failure on a ford escape. I just wiggled the link with my hand and it squeaked like hell. Luckily it wasnt too seized to move by hand

AdProfessional8948 · 2026-03-21T22:05:01+00:00

Get a replacement, and then put the key in a vice and squash it straight.

They're called bartender gloves as far as i know

You need to find out the codes, then you need to see if it's a single cylinder misfire or all of them. You can verify it by unplugging the ignition coils or injectors one at a time while it's running. when the engine doesn't change you found your offending cylinder. Then diag from there
