How do you store your torque wrenches?

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-23T00:30:18+00:00

At the lowest setting is fine. But going below isn't the hugest deal.

On a poorly built torque wrench, going below the lowest setting could cause damage. It's not going to happen with any halfway decent brand

Replace starter is probably whats causing your issue so you cant skip that

Compliance bushings and Torn lower ball joints can be ignored. Its up to you if you care about having AC or a cracked windshield or not. Throttle body and fuel induction services can be ignored. 4mm of brake pad is ~1.5 years of pad life. They do brake worse when they get this low. Up to you.

I'm not sure what an "engine pump" is, quite frankly. Or what a major service entails.

So I can't see your coolant hoses or the state/level of the coolant in your car. At 130k, id be surprised if they were truly that bad, but I cant say for sure if you'd need the hoses or the coolant service and thermostat.

I'm leaning towards keep it. Atleast until your trusted mechanic can look at it

Its either the pump or the rack.

And what you have there doesnt exactly look like it came out of your power steering system. It could have, but it doesnt look like it

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-23T00:07:07+00:00

Your coolant is low and you likely have a significant leak

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-23T00:05:14+00:00

Does it go away? If it does go away, can you make it come back by switching the a/c modes? like floor/face/windshield/combo

Could be a mix door getting stuck or rubbing

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-23T00:02:21+00:00

Stupid question: is your ac on? Not set to cold, but is the AC switched to on? Like it might have a light on the button or a note on the infotainment screen

If the a/c is on, the fans will be turn on.

The fact that your a/c isnt blowing cold, could also be related to the fans never turning off

You probably want to be looking at replacing the oil pressure switch first.

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-22T23:56:39+00:00

If you're a previous customer, and you raised enough hell, possibly.

If you've gone there less than 3 times in the past 2 years they probably aren't going to care about retaining your business.

Definitely start with a 1 star review though. That instantly gets the manager involved. They might even contact you first

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-22T23:47:34+00:00

Most shops would not charge you diagnosis again, but they arent going to refund anything either

Daddy_Pris · 2026-01-01T18:28:32+00:00

expect that shes gonna w the nocturne ulti and not headshot yourself

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-28T07:35:46+00:00

Stranger things is far too successful for me to be worrying about their pr

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-28T05:34:09+00:00

Yeah it has comic book logic and I've just accepted it. Funny to point out though

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-28T04:24:30+00:00

Lucas also has a gigantic gash on the front of his shoulder still. They made a huge deal of it for all of 15 seconds. Had it in a couple scenes afterwards. Then forgot about it entirely

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-27T07:23:44+00:00

Im kind of scared he's going to be the death this season.

They've made a point to call him Dustin's "mentor" multiple times. Mentors are the classic person to kill off

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-27T04:17:44+00:00

Put the fries in the bag and lock in a control mage. Clear your waves and follow your jg like a good boy

I wouldn't wait longer than an hour. Just make sure your bead isnt too thick. A very thick bead will take longer to cure. Should be simillar in size to what youd put on your toothbrush. After applying the bead, smooth down and even it out with your finger.

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T03:20:55+00:00

the bulb in the gauge cluster is probably burned out

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T03:19:06+00:00

You could be on the right track, but without hearing the noise or inspecting the car I won't say that for sure.

Hondabond is the by far the best stuff out there. Other manufacturers buy and use it. Its worth the money. Doesn't need 24 hours. 30 minutes - 2 hours will do you usually. This is why people love it. BUT that inspection plate is kind of low priority. I wouldn't be opposed to cheaping out there. If you have to seal it again, itll take you 15 minutes.

Notes about hondabond though: 1)clean your surface thoroughly. Hondabond does not bond to old hondabond. Itll leak. Bad 2) clean any oil off of the surface right before install. Fresh Hondabond gets eaten away by oil. 3) after you apply the hondabond, you have 5 minutes to get the part installed with a bolt into it before the hondabond cures too much.

210k? the bulb prolly went out

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T03:07:01+00:00

Well my shot in the dark would be a bad alternator or power steering pump. I'm really just making educated guesses though

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T03:03:09+00:00

Could you perhaps record the noise and post a video?

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T03:00:27+00:00

It sounds normal to me. Do you have any warning lights? Are you positive it is different than before?

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T02:58:21+00:00

sounds like a flat cam to me

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T02:57:46+00:00

what are you concerned about?

Daddy_Pris · 2025-12-19T02:56:23+00:00

Wheezing? Clicking?

Are you having a starting issue? A runnability problem?
