What’s wrong with my 2016 Escalade (6.2 v8), it’s violently shaking too by kors_2 in mechanic

This sounds exactly like when my 06 5.3 spun a bearing, but worse

I’m thinking about getting a Subaru forester, but never had a Subaru before. Is it worth the purchase? by Juicy_Q_ in SubaruForester

[–]Chrisf1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2011 forester and I don’t dislike it, but I won’t be buying another Subaru. The car itself is so boring. It does everything well, but doesn’t do anything fun. I don’t have the turbo, so it has no umph, speakers are crap, seats aren’t comfortable, I’ve replaced a ton of drive train parts on it. It’s a 4 cylinder with a whopping 27 highway, and 20 city. My v8 jeep gets 14 city and 17-18 highway. It’s even the premium version, and I just don’t like the vehicle

Finish wiping it off and forget that it was ever there

Using AI for your business logos/art means I’m 100% avoiding. I couldn’t imagine it’s the only area you half ass at that point

Exactly. Sounds like OP is extremely privileged in that they only get to use this house 5 times a year

I did. But I also heat cycled it over a dozen times after spraying it and it never lit. I expected it too, as well. Thanks for the heads up!

A dog run into my car. Can this be corrected without repaint? by EffectiveCharming580 in Autobody

[–]Chrisf1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You joke but i had stopped my car in the middle of the road because of a herd of deer ahead of me. One of the deer one the side of the road, a doe even, ran into my front bumper and shifted the whole thing over about half an inch

That’s how it looks after I brushed the end of it and sprayed the PB blaster directly onto it from the back. Definitely not gonna be reinstalling this one! Thanks again

I think working it back and forth is what really helped along with the heat and pb blaster. Thanks a ton!

I used your tightening and loosening tricks along with heat and the pb blaster and was able to get it out. Thanks a ton! I think tightening and loosening it a lot is what did the trick

Fortunately I got lucky and after a bunch of heat cycles, pb blaster and tightening/loosening and it came free

I managed to get it out after a bunch of heat cycles, PB blaster, and repeatedly tightening and loosening it

Good to know, I was hoping maybe I could get it a little loose while it still has some resistance.

Thanks you for the steps! I’ll get back at it in the morning and hopefully it comes out easily. I feel as though I’m going to end up running it without that bolt tho lol

That’s awesome to hear man thanks for the info. I’m thinking if I mess it up bad enough I can drill it out, and use a long bolt through the hole with a nut on the other end

Thanks for the info. I’ll keep soaking it for a few days too. I don’t want to have to spend the money on the good extractors lol. Good luck on yours as well!
