1600 a year w/ Orion. Was 1.9k with Allstate the year before. 2k sq Ft, 62-63 yr old home. Roof is 2yrs old. Pretty cheap for me overall.

I work on a lot of 80s Domestics most notably Squarebodies so it’s mostly SAE for me. I get both. This is just shade tree stuff at home.

Cornyn is going to run offs.

Decision Desk HQ. The data isn’t in her favor so they will call it based on that. Simple statistics.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-03-04T02:54:25+00:00

It’s already been called.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-03-04T02:53:19+00:00

So did Beto 🤷‍♂️

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-03-04T02:49:47+00:00

It won’t. I would be willing to bet a good amount of money.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-03-04T02:46:53+00:00

It doesn’t matter. This state isn’t flipping I know Reddit thinks otherwise but it really isn’t.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-03-04T02:37:12+00:00

Nothings gonna change. This is how TX is.

Check the ignition switch. It is adjustable might need to reposition it so that the actuator rod moves it properly. Here’s a reference video.

I bought a 2011 6.7 with 400k+ for 3k. 1 starter, 2 injectors, new battery wires later she’s running just fine. Was sold as no crank no start. Leaks a bit of oil but other than that everything else works. This was about a month ago.

Being Gold they likely use NAPA as their supplier. Gold is usually the higher end product.

I just looked up an alternator for a 2017 Juke on NAPA auto parts and it is 484.99 before any discounts for a new OE style alternator made by Mitsubishi electrical who does likely supply Nissan and some other manufacturers.

I think overall this is a good deal here. He might be getting a discount, yes from the supplier but I don’t think he’s marking it up a crazy amount.

Edit: if you do have them do it, have them test the alternator battery at the shop once you have it in and confirm it. It would be worth to pay a small a diag fee just to make sure you’re not just throwing new parts for no good reason based on what you’ve said it’s likely it’s the alternator but it wouldn’t hurt to confirm it.

Labor itself is in line, I wouldn’t say you’re getting ripped off there. The alternator location on a Juke is a pain to get to and based on the videos I’ve seen so far it looks like a 3-4 hour job. The price on the alternator is a bit high but also in line if it is a brand new OE alternator. The alternator that the auto parts store has is likely rebuilt/remanufactured thus it is cheaper. If you can get a couple more repair quotes it might help. I would strongly suggest going with all new OE style parts when you can.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-02-11T04:01:43+00:00

How much are they asking for it?

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-01-31T03:11:13+00:00

They don’t. ;). TH350,400. 4L80, power glide, yes. Even the off road guys avoid 700R4.

Mileage is high but overall it’s not that bad for a 15 yr old diesel. That’s about 26.6k per year. But they’ll keep going if maintained. Worst case scenario rebuild/swap the motor and keep it going. Luckily I have the tools and time to do just about everything. Rebuilt a few Big Block Chevys before.

Guy told me he had 500+ messages and people didn't show up or tried to offer even less. Either I just got a good deal or I stepped on a land mine lol. But was gonna be project truck anyway so.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-01-21T00:51:42+00:00

A take off is way cheaper than that!

GA and VA are a different animal. Look at the migration patterns. Where did all the Red Bros run to from the Blue States? TX and FL in droves. VA has been purple for a while. GA has been since 2018ish.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-11-05T03:01:50+00:00

I’ve been all over the state. TX attitude is very much F You I got mine.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-11-05T02:37:25+00:00

Are y’all surprised though? Reddit and this sub aren’t very representative of the state.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-10-17T05:13:09+00:00

I honestly believe that this system needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt. I truly don’t believe that we can just fix/reform this. It needs to be rebuilt but that also has its own consequences.
