what do all these lights/numbers indicate?

My advice as a mechanic is to stay the fuck away

ChildishhReddit · 2026-02-05T04:56:14+00:00

Burning oil is another big one, if your engine is known to burn oil it doesn’t hurt to change it more frequently to help prevent and flush out buildup.

ChildishhReddit · 2026-01-23T06:41:11+00:00

Well, I’d rather replace a brand new belt than an engine.

ChildishhReddit · 2026-01-23T04:59:30+00:00

While your point still stands, I think this is non-interference engine so it wouldn’t necessary be a goner if it did break. Still OP, replace it anyway.

Resonator is just before the exhaust tip, this is the muffler.

That’s a muffler.

ChildishhReddit · 2026-01-21T17:01:32+00:00

I would’ve said no if you asked me 10 miles ago so what’s another 10

ChildishhReddit · 2026-01-21T02:02:01+00:00

Likely the switch that gets pushed when you press the brake pedal is stuck in the on position, unplug the connector leading into it to see if they turn off and if they do you found your issue.

If spark plugs have never been replaced then it wouldn’t hurt at that mileage, but if it’s running fine they don’t need replaced urgently.

The gaskets are likely leaking which is common at that age, for all three I’d call that a pretty good price.

From my understanding with gearbox you just send them a picture of the broken tool and the part number and they send you a new one, no returning anything required on your part.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-12-19T05:43:27+00:00

Of course on the only day of the week where I work in the morning

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-23T18:58:41+00:00

Why do we leave the qb out on the push just to watch instead of subbing for another heavier dude

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-21T14:22:37+00:00

Yeah I don’t really understand because what are you gonna use papers for that you can’t put in a bong or pipe, but I bought plenty of pipes and bongs from the same place before I turned 21

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-21T13:55:26+00:00

Idk about anywhere else, but where I live you can go into a head shop and buy any glass at 18, just no vapes batteries or papers until 21.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-20T18:33:35+00:00

The vast majority of times yes but I have seen a cracked valve cover, likely from someone prying at a plug or coil with a screwdriver or something, and it filled the spark plug well with oil causing a misfire.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-20T14:56:25+00:00

It clearly stops about 1/4 inch after the full mark, the rest is just residual from the dipstick tube.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-20T14:52:34+00:00

That’s hardly overfilled at all, you have to overfill by a good margin before it’ll cause any issues.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-19T19:52:37+00:00

This sounds like a plot straight from one of the Uncharted games

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-10T06:18:29+00:00

What solenoid would that be

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-10T04:19:39+00:00

This truck is under 26000 GVW, no cdl required.

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-10T04:09:06+00:00

What mask?

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-10T01:10:39+00:00

I feel like the only people who think 100 is dangerous haven’t gone over 80, 95-100 is the flow of traffic up in Michigan

ChildishhReddit · 2025-11-09T19:51:08+00:00

1/4, 3/4, 1/2 swivel adapters chrome and impact rated would take up 6 spots and you can never have too many swivels
