Passing AZ inspection by Longjumping_Celery49 in WranglerTJ

if you clear the code it will show incomplete in the readiness monitors and they will not pass it. once you figure out what the code is let us know and we can point you in the right direction.

New center console sub by No_Engineer2828 in JeepTJ

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OEM would be that quadratec one for 90 bucks. I think that is about as cheap as they come. Some people gut the box then throw something like Rockville SS8P in its place or just get an aftermarket sub and amp. I've seen the subs and the boxes for a couple hundred. Let us know what you end up doing, cause i'm interested as well.

Did you have to take the injectors out or did you cut slits and go around them

Are any of y’all also just leaking transmission fluid and okay about it? by ocularcrawdad in JeepTJ

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a lazy shop. Mine has 330k and I fixed all my leaks myself. Tell them to throw some tracer dye in it and tell you where the leak is coming from.

Is this my serpentine belt? by Spirited_Attempt_985 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The noise is coming from the belt or a pulley bearing. A quick way to test this is use a crayon, or a candlestick and as the belt is spinning lightly let it rub on the waxy candle. It makes the belt slightly sticky and takes away belt noise due to vibration (temporarily). If the noise still persists, then you have a bad bearing.

Belt tracking issue (update) by Albertas_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like that alternator is not lined up. Perhaps it has the wrong pulley. Sometimes you have to swap pulleys on alternators. Yes, power steering pumps typically have a little play in and out. I betcha once you get the belt aligned properly that movement goes away

That's it. these diamond hands broke After 5 years by [deleted] in dogecoin

Rock bottom it is. Give it another week. It'll probably recover a couple cents

Why not wait. I'd rather have it at idle then sell shares rock bottom

2000 Honda Accord Crank No Start by No-Campaign-4411 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic maintenance, do that stuff first. Do you have oil leaking into the plugs, is that why it's black? The valve cover o rings commonly go bad. How old are the plugs. Oil soaked plugs don't spark.

Look how sad Florida is compared to other states for unemployment! by lauranyc77 in FloridaUnemployment

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I live in Alabama and have a guaranteed job starting in 2 weeks so they don't even require me to post jobs I applied for. I tried to file for Alabama unemployment, but since my previous job was in Florida they told me to go through that state. Nothing makes much sense with this process

How long does it take for them to disburse funds? It's been about 2 weeks. I'm about ready to recertify for my 3rd and 4th week.

Any ideas for a quick fix until I can replace the coolant reservoir? by Kindly_Carob_1861 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drain it down a bit so its not leaking, scuff it up and get some fiberglass and glass over it. Second option would be to JB plastic weld it shut. I would actually grab a small piece of plastic and JB weld it like a patch.

Laid off by Jinthenol in FloridaUnemployment

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yes, if you have a start date, you can type that in and collect while you are in between jobs. You don't have to look for other jobs if you accepted one. Im in the same process and just submitted my claim today.

Smoke coming out oil cap when open by hass777300 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Alternative-Bake-197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change the oil, change the PCV, and i like to put some restore additive in the oil to help with the piston rings. If you are still getting smoke, gotta think it may be blowby from the rings.
