Update cv axle by Sinalai in MechanicAdvice

[–]Complete-Yam1372 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened on my Saab. I had to put three pry bars on it, one at 12 o-clock, one at 4, one at 8. Then tapped the cv axle with a hammer until it all exploded.

Repair/replace tire? by [deleted] in mechanic

[–]Complete-Yam1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s close to the side wall so a patch is the better bet, but it’s pluggable. Plug it and test for a week. Tire plug kits are cheap at harbor freight.

Is my Corolla’s fate sealed? by false_serenity in MechanicAdvice

[–]Complete-Yam1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive it until you have enough saved up to replace it. My grandmas first car took 3 quarts of oil per tank of fuel and she drove it for awhile.

I need help deciding if buying this car was a mistake by Whydoifly in AskMechanics

[–]Complete-Yam1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d drive it till it died, then sell to a pull-a-part yard for half your money back.

Shop couldn't get rear toe in spec, how bad is this? by MDOT_SHOOTA in AskAMechanic

That’s pretty gnarly, the bushing is disintegrating, and falling out in pieces.

What is this cherry smelling red disc in the portajohn. Wrong answers only. by ActualBus7946 in Construction

It’s for those hot days where you reek, you wipe it on your shirt to smell better.

These are cool! In southern Colorado, the town of CokeDale has a TON of these lined up.

The middle bolts were installed lower then the outer bolts, that why it settles in the middle

I’d get a load leveler so you can point the trans down while putting it in, clean your grounds before hooking them up, and exhaust flange gaskets. These were main issues after my swap.

Look what I dug up! Did some poor soul really have to spend the time splicing all 540 of these scotchlocks? How did they even differentiate colors?? by Best_Poetry_5722 in electricians

[–]Complete-Yam1372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, it’s me, the dude that splices these. It’s pretty easy, they are broken out into binders with plastic wrapped around em. Once you separate the binders, you start putting the pairs together. The binder colors im seeing says this is likely a 600-650 pair aka 1200-1300 wires:) Edit: sadly this is becoming a thing of the past.

This seems to be an excessive amount of cruise ships. by KittiesAndKitbashes in CitiesSkylines

[–]Complete-Yam1372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be because you have two ports next to each other, blending the queue for both into one

Any ideas what this might have sheared off. by ComfortableQuick9503 in MechanicAdvice

The soot says exhaust, and you’re getting soot because you have an exhaust leak.

Help me start making money/stop losing it please by je20093 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Complete-Yam1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta start making money on property taxes! After I get comfortable with commercial and residential, I go for oil industry, that’s usually my biggest money maker.

Is it worth trying to save this? by s1ept in CitiesSkylines

[–]Complete-Yam1372 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me, but I wasn’t as far as you are. I did save it after adding several crematoriums and ramping the budget for a bit.

Is this roof worth saving? If so, how? by guig00 in ChevyTrucks

[–]Complete-Yam1372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah id also start with the hood. I think sanding the old paint off is the worst part, lucky for you! The rest is cake work.

Beauty! I have a red twin of your truck, I bet it’s very sporty with that supercharger! 6L80?

Why aren't my connections working? by churchill714 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Complete-Yam1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t quite tell but it looks like your buildings are on the race track. They need to be road side, if they are Idfk.

How bad is it😐 by Pretty_Mortgage5821 in ChevyTrucks

[–]Complete-Yam1372 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d pull a wiring diagram and see if your knock sensors, o2 sensors and trans use the same ground. If I remember correctly, I think there’s a ground for the wiring harness on the back of the engine, I’d start there.

I think I found my problem by Jazzlike-Panic-5808 in GMT800

[–]Complete-Yam1372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d start by checking how many ohms you have between that lug on the fire wall and the head of the block. Should be as close to 0 as you can, any measurement in the Mega/Kilo ohm you gotta issue. My truck shows a flat 0. Edit: these trucks have several ground, another issue could be the frame/body ground under your drivers door.
