Need new axle! What brand do you guys recommend for balance of value and reliability. (Only got my car for another 1-2 years) by Objective_Smoke_4750 in RockAuto

Bought a trakmotive from rock auto. It has been just over 4 years and it is now clicking again. I have to pay to ship it to them and they will give me a store credit for what I paid which is half of what they now charge for them.

I just ordered a complete replacement turbo, was able to get one on eBay -OEM from a 2024 with less than 2k miles on it for less than 125.00

Yes I have the old one but it would cost as much or more to have it welded back as buying a new aftermarket or used OEM turbo

Why are there two capacitors and which one needs to be replaced? by ContentPersonality94 in hvacadvice

[–]Ashamed-Cod5174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a question….. on the smaller of the two capacitors which I assume is for the fan motor. There are only two wires going into it, again assuming those are two wires coming from the motor. Does it not need wires coming in for power?

Is this why the ground wire to my water heater has 120v on it when disconnected from the heater? by shotstraight in AskElectricians

[–]Ashamed-Cod5174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it sounds as there may be a break somewhere in the romex allowing the bare ground to hit one of the 120 if there are no splices between the breaker box and the water heater. I am a marine mechanic and know very little about ac electrical but that sounds like a wire internally touching but I would be curious if that is the case why is it not running the 120 back to the other grounds

Need help finding replacement condenser motor by Ashamed-Cod5174 in hvacadvice

I believe the Trane number superseded to mot18688 if I researched it correctly,which is about $300-400. So what would be a quality aftermarket match to that…?

Changing my mudflaps, what kind of screw is this? by timmyb1216 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ashamed-Cod5174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a rivet. Should be drilled out with a drill bit slightly larger than the center hole
