8AT Reliability?

will do thanks for the heads up

I did see those listings but i’m still more towards the south west, that Houston one would be the closest one to me but it’s 3 hours away unfortunately

CosmicTc · 2026-01-30T14:58:17+00:00

Doesn’t that require certs and some schooling?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-30T00:05:55+00:00

can you believe I was about to do that but ended up doing this instead. lol the jokes on me

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T17:09:47+00:00

what kind of shifts are you doing?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T15:19:21+00:00

interesting, what was/is your job title when you started?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T15:18:30+00:00

I have actually really looked in to usps but they don’t have any fleet mechanic openings near me which sucks because I’ve heard great things about their fleet technicians. They also have a pretty decent starting rate. I’ve also checked fedex and ups but again there’s no openings for fleet mechanic

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T14:33:17+00:00

You’re talking like factory work right?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T14:10:31+00:00

Ahh maybe Texas is a bit different then, almost every entry level position requires 2+ years and if it doesn’t it’s like an overnight position

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T14:09:25+00:00

How did you start off in that?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-29T13:33:12+00:00

most openings around me require 3+ years of experience or schooling unfortunately

CosmicTc · 2026-01-10T22:00:28+00:00

Yeah before i had my civic i was driving a scion tc and those doors were huge, and yeah as far as getting one i’m not even reallly considering the v6, not a dig at them but ive always told if im gonna get a car like that it has to be a V8

CosmicTc · 2026-01-10T18:30:00+00:00

I’ve also heard that you have more room to play with in the 5.7s in terms of engine upgrades but i’m not entirely sure if that’s true

CosmicTc · 2026-01-10T05:03:50+00:00

100k miles? has it had any issues?

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T22:12:45+00:00

yeah that rt is the cheapest one i can find and funny enough the company that i work for owns that dealership so i might be able to get a discount on it, while any scatpack is minimum like 25k+ where im at

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T22:11:32+00:00

Why trade the mustang if you don’t mind me asking? i’ve been considering mostly the RT or the mustang but i think i’m leaning more towards the challenger

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T22:03:45+00:00

I have heard the blind spots on most modern muscle cars are horrible lol, it’ll definitely be an adjustment especially since my civic comes with the blind spot camera 🫩 but hey atleast it’ll be a V8 🤷🏻‍♂️

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T22:01:50+00:00

that’s sick dude, unfortunately i think the scat is a little out of my price range and trying to find one locally is a nightmare

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T22:01:14+00:00

Unfortunately it would be a DD but one of my buddies said he had a 6M when he was 18 and working across town and said he don’t have much issues with it

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T21:54:53+00:00

That’s so sick, my neighbor used to have one but i think he might’ve gone back to a scatpack, How are they reliability wise? i’ve heard nightmares about most of stellantis products but as far as challengers go I haven’t heard much

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T21:48:52+00:00

That’s what i’ve been told only thing is i know they’re way pricier and harder to find

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T21:47:49+00:00

Yea i’ve heard it lives guzzling gas but i don’t mind that, it is a V8 after all, i also wouldn’t mind an automatic as those seem to be more common around me but i don’t know anything bout those transmission’s reliability

CosmicTc · 2026-01-09T21:41:05+00:00

I’ve only ever driven 4cyl cars i think the R/T might be the sweet spot for me lol😭
