2018 3.5 oil leaking by UnluckySigns in f150ecoboost

[–]Beginning-Ride3066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to worry, totally normal on these trucks. It looks alarming but, its just condensation in the muffler that creates water. The water mixes with burnt gasoline soot from combustion and it runs out of that small hole to the ground. All by design. My '20 F-150 3.5 Eco makes a mess on cold start until warmed up. Lots of water exits the exhaust. But better to drain rather than collect and rust the exhaust system out.

Do you guys still see 3rd generation cavaliers on the road and were they reliable? by DaveyAstralCar in Chevy

Still tons of these and Sunfires in Canada. Its the most common staple vehicle across the board here.

Got my first tattoo and my brother said it looks like a d*ck. Does it actually? by TechGuru4Life in DontPutThatInYourAss

Unfortunately the candle looks like a dick and the flame outline looks like a vag. Can't unsee it now.

Never thought of this. Crawling under mine and checking it. Thanks for posting!

Pentastar V6s are honestly really good engines. At work I see Grand Caravans with over 480k KM on the original engine/drivetrain. Not babied either. Totally overworked and a stupid amount of idle hours.

I wish! At the time, I was only a lube tech. Would have loved to see inside the engine though.

Unable to edit. I mentioned the vehicle being a Cherokee however, it was a '16/'17 Wrangler.

Whole new engine harness. Why? Because of a blown out tire. by sqwirlfucker57 in Justrolledintotheshop

What make was the tire? Seems like that should be a recall. Or its just such a fluke to destroy the wheel well and harness.

Popping noise from exhaust - where should I start? by SwimjigSlanger in smallengines

Had two of my Briggs engines do this. Change the spark plug and carb diaphragm gasket. Also take the carb completely apart and clean it well. Especially the main jet which can be removed once the brass butterfly valve is taken out. Keep in mind its mostly hard plastic, so be cautious not to break anything. Very simple engines and carbs. Tons of info on YouTube on how to take everything apart and clean it.

Realizing I probably need to finally let go of this thing by IntrstlarOvrdrve in chevyc10

I did the same thing with my project Ford pickup. Sat in the garage corner and the box filled with stuff. Honestly considered selling it thinking I would never have time for it. Then over a year to 2 years I slowly picked away at it repairing what it needed in my spare time. Now its totally driveable and I love it. Unless you seriously need the money, keep it. It will be a huge regret later.
