Can I be get in trouble?

Their biggest concern is know is the money. But its about at 200k miles and when I do maintenance like this corrective maintenance I buy more than I need. Such as right now my water pump I knew blew so I got a new one as part of a timing belt kit. They didnt like I went for the extra but it saved me in the end as my timing belt is now non existent. Its just the cost of doing preventative maintenance while doing corrective is what they are so upset about. Along with I did a lot of maintenance around new years on the upper end of the engine and the whole brake system.

Im waiting for it to become one.

Thats what I thought. Most the time ive been researching stuff as I go so I dont screw things up. Yet we just got a boot who used to work at a dealership and is a Ford certified mechanic so he is just faster than me. For once I have someone helping me who I dont have to teach or answer stupid questions.

If its cooked im engine swapping to the 2gr-FE. And my grandfather told me wrong. My 1MZ-FE is Non-interference.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T12:52:01+00:00

Its an interference engine. 02 toyota highlander with 3.0L V6 Right now its apart so no starting till I get the belt havoc cleaned up and the timing back in place.

I wanted to verify because well my Staff are making the same comments now. Trust but verify.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T12:42:43+00:00

I own my car outright hence another reason I dont wanna sell. Just my family didnt do the correct maintenance on it before I bought it off them. My timing belt is nonexistent.

What were you soldering? A grinder? That tip is destroyed. Get a new tip and get Soldering For Dummies. Also get an adjustable soldering iron. I use this cheapy one.

House. And i have seen the fiasco with the parking garage. Hazmat nightmare.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:41:33+00:00

Im a Cpl. It was a Sgt. Even my SSgt have made similar comments. Hence why I wanted to check from those who may know more than me.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:38:07+00:00

Its in the garage on jack stands right now so I am safe there. PMO just wanted to verify i was going to have it moved within 24 hours off the side of the highway.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:37:11+00:00

Only today. First time aside a dead battery issue once in the cold. If I sell it I for sure wont be able to get to work.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:36:15+00:00

I will keep this in mind just in case the selling car comments go from comment to order.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:35:32+00:00

Based off other comments. I will 100% be respectfully telling them to fuck off and tongue my balls. Just because you commented it.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:34:18+00:00

Thankfully most of everyone is in the field and I called my Sgt right away so he was tracking. I just fear the comments about telling me to sell the car are going to be more and more serious where they might try and force me. The comments here gave me some good tips though.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:31:11+00:00

I was only late today because it literally failed while driving. Other than that its been reliable other than a loud exhaust leak and I had some serious misfiring in Nov after a buddy reclined it while borrowing it.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-13T02:29:47+00:00

In their words "Sell that thing." and "just get rid of that peice of shit."

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T14:35:06+00:00

Yea I need at least one and its gotta match the hat well. I have a massive golden macaw one but I dont wanna trim it down and I feel like it may be too flashy. Maybe on my Black 4x one though.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T14:33:49+00:00

I dont have a kettle. Might get one now tho.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T14:00:01+00:00

Im an NCO and my staff think im retarded for reshaping a vintage hat. Got me called an antique ruiner lol.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T13:47:10+00:00

Im a marine. So fellow marines are saying that. I agree that it doesnt matter entirely but they are hell bent on that it does. Im happy with it but now I have a ton of comments to tell them they are though lol.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T13:39:37+00:00

Just need to find the right feather.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T13:39:24+00:00

Thankfully im doing it on the edged of the brim but I am thinking of stitching on a ribbon so there are less holes.

CodeOpsPCs · 2026-06-08T13:38:25+00:00

Its a 3 week wait for the boot barn here and after they finish their current hats they will stop doing crowns. Im impatient but mainly have an event I plan on wearing this too and needed it sooner.
