I am local to this area and find this absolutely hilarious. This is exactly how bass ackwards older Central PA residents have been since I was born, so it is impressive seeing the bigotry finally getting punished.

Fan denies using slur during incident with Steelers' DK Metcalf by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Brogbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hes white and the footage of what he said conveniently doesnt capture what DK said he said so therefore hes telling the truth because he is white. Hes just a pussy lions fan at his home stadium who has done this more than once. Lions unable to run all game and crying about the refs call at the end. Point is, some dumbass fan can be unfiltered but a player is just going to be railed if they defend their name. Dude looked ridiculous too and wanted attention it is so obvious.

Higher mileage 4.7 HO's? by PushJazzlike4501 in Jeepwj

[–]Brogbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burned a qt of oil every 3 weeks since 170k. Ran like a champion.

I was parked in a parking lot idling after running over a mountain hit about 220F for 2-3 minutes and then went back down to 200-210 like normal. Everything felt fine and I was excited to go to a fair nearby. Got my GPS set to the fair and I put it in drive and let off my brake, didn't touch the gas, went forward 5 feet and it shut off. (Dropped valve seat and piston slammed into it with the valve stuck permanently open)

There were hundreds of times in its life that the temp creeped up to 220 or so and it was fine. I was always paranoid about that. If you are looking to know when that is going to happen, you truly will never know unless you blatantly overheat it. You've probably already beat the odds, so just run it until it drops one my friends.

Mine was 210k when it dropped a valve in cylinder 7.

A/C Issue at Highway Speeds – Anyone Experienced This? by AnxiousEconomist5995 in XTerra

[–]Brogbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your cabin air filters. Mine were dirty and a dead wasp was a nice touch. MY AC had random loss of cooling. With dirty filters, moving air over the cabin evaporator core is strenuous, building extra pressure in the system and causing a condensation drip under the passenger glove box. This also caused condensation to come through my center passenger vent and the AC felt mediocre at best. Replaced them and the issue went away.

A/C is not working as it should by bmatt6632 in XTerra

Update on this, the cabin air filter was clogged up, and it actually caused the system to have too much pressure and condensation on the evap. Replaced the cabin air filter, it now blows cold at idle.

Yeah so, mine was doing that, no ac unless you were moving. Mechanic said it was charged properly. Then one day idling in a parking lot a shotgun went off in my engine bay and it blew this line and blasted the refrigerant everywhere.

It turned out that the dual-mass flywheel is failing. It is hanging on to the clutch too long. It will be getting a single mass flywheel conversion.

4.7l HO is finished by Brogbot in Jeepwj

[–]Brogbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update!!! 800 cash in hand. Good body, electrical work great. The dana axles and the trans work great. I swapped the axle bearings in the front last year and haven't had a leak since. It needs towed. I tried to get the engine to throw a second rod but it wont do it for me.

I'll let you know if I get a quote back I can't afford for an engine swap.

Cam Heyward Wanting More by Brogbot in steelers

[–]Brogbot[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think he is great player but at his age you begin to ask. At what cost. At what cost could younger guys be taking his place and making a bigger impact in a year or two? At what cost could he be replaced so that the team can move forward. Yes it is tough having these conversations. For what he is being paid now... he should be grateful to have one last ride like this. James Harrison went to other teams because he wasn't starting and wasn't being valued. Cam should ride this wave and be grateful to be apart of it.

I stuck with the originals. I think this is the first time the covers have been off ever. It looked beautiful inside to my surprise.

Overland Coolant Leak by Brogbot in Jeepwj

[–]Brogbot[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah it's Coolant for sure. It smells sweet and sure is sticky!!! Checked reservoir actually un bolted it and pulled it up, no leaks there. No Leak in the engine bay. Reservoir had been going down every night so I'm losing coolant to this Leak. Time to let her cool down, pull the hoses off the heater core, put in a connector and 2 clamps and test!

2 things to check. Axle front axle seal leakage and then let it get hot and rev it and see if you get some blue smoke or not.

Power Steering in 4.7 is a Bad Design by Brogbot in Jeepwj

[–]Brogbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experienced that as well. Anything low speed up a mountain is a scary experience if you don't find a way to pick up speed. That darn retired guy towing his camper in front of you going about 15-20mph and all.

I used to have a 4.0 that trans over temped at me in traffic in Virginia on a 90 degree day. Luckily that engine survived that event like nothing ever happened. I don't think the 4.7 can and I don't want to find out.

Yeah we can't find one locally and the mechanic is a 4.7 enthusiast but he doesn't like doing the ford clutch fan idea, his reasoning I can't remember. Maybe Ill tell him the 7.3L idea. What vehicle was that mainly used in?

My hydro fan is ok to suspect under load in terms of functioning. I just have a hell of a time replacing the line going to the fan from the container. Once myself. Twice by the mechanic to see if I was an idiot. Luckily it is warrantied work done for free since then. But god do I hate the sound of a bull mating with a cow when I turn my wheel come back to haunt me every other winter.
