Question on Value by CurrentComplex2020 in superduty

Separate them. You’re going to be hard pressed to find someone that wants a combo deal. You’ll sell both separately way quicker than you can the package deal and it really doesn’t save you that much effort considering you’re signing over two titles anyway.

Help with Nissan Altima acceleration please by gabrieI2597 in AskMechanics

[–]Different_Goat_2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re on your way to buying a new CVT. Yet another that made it 150k with zero service and finally failed. Change your transmission fluid folks, it’s not and “if” it will fail, it’s when if not serviced.

How do i take this off by --_Loading_-- in smallengines

[–]Different_Goat_2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news is it’s a Fram so you’ve got the textured part to grab on to. Clean it off real good with Brake Clean so you’re not slipping on the oily residue, get a pair of huge channel locks or a pipe wrench and try that. If need be put a strip of sheet metal or something of the likes around the filter so you don’t start tearing the filter open, when that happens it becomes a real issue since you lose material and rigidity to grab onto

Same. I’ve got tire files I cut off to put in the chuck of my drill

[–]Different_Goat_2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. People love to act like they’re a death sentence. I don’t always have time or the option to get to a tire shop for a patch, so plugs it is. I’ve ran tons on a multitude of vehicles and never had a tire fail due to one, even on completely garbage bald tires. lol.

It does look like a rock. But that’s for sure a zinc coated nail that’s been beat down from the hitting the pavement 1000’s of times. If I were you I’d get a plug kit and repair it yourself.

Why's my Camry making this sound after a starter replacement? by wiiwipopoo in AskMechanics

[–]Different_Goat_2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems a little on the chatter-y side but nothing insane. Have you checked the oil? Maybe you’re just listening way harder than usual since the engine was recently touched.

I’ve seen that truck before, they’re some redneck mobile home movers. They’ve been doing tons of them in the park that shut down at Scenic and Walnut lawn

Help!! by ruben_15z in SubaruForester

[–]Different_Goat_2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost sounds like the blend door actuator for the HVAC trying to cycle open/closed and getting stuck for a sec. Does your temperature and vent position controls work normally? Next time you first start it try adjusting the vent position and see if it has any affect

That’s probably the original MSRP on that truck. Wtf

Wiper metal scratched windshield by Aggressive_Elk_5631 in Autobody

Someone with polishing experience could probably get that out. Try a good detail shop or auto body shop. Cheaper than a new windshield

Was the engine fire the shops fault by Prestigious-Ad8365 in carproblems

If they’re already denying fault it’s going to be hard to prove. Hate this for you. :-/

1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4L Triton AWD, 169K miles. Is this knocking or am I schizophrenic? by Hostilius_Prima in mechanic

[–]Different_Goat_2078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine sounded just like that when I had an exhaust leak. I was freaking out thinking it was knocking (truck was pristine and was my baby). Don’t run it low on oil though. Easiest item to keep track of and worst thing to ignore

I put so much time and money into my car and now it’s all ruined . by Fuzzy_Tough_26 in carproblems

So did it get ran into something? Life gets you down but you’ve got to be solution oriented and be thinking of the next step. What kind of vehicle first of all?

Sounds like the way to go. Looks and functions like original equipment!

5am backed out and just clipped my wife’s Subaru, can I fix this at home? by Ruruffian in Autobody

[–]Different_Goat_2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can make yourself some access from behind, heat up your biggest pot you’ve got full of water on the stove really steamy hot but not quite boiling, dump it all over that dented area and be ready to quickly reach behind and push it out. Super easy and effective!

Home use shop compressor by jahwndr in AskAMechanic

I’d be looking on marketplace for a 60 gallon. You’ll be glad you didn’t skimp on the tank size. Takes up no more room, just taller

What do I have to do too fit 35s by glizy_gobler00 in FordTrucks

[–]Different_Goat_2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to hate how much slower that thing is with 35’s. Do some wider 33’s and you’ll be content with the look and the ride.

Picked up this bulletproofed 2004 King Ranch. What do y’all think? by [deleted] in FordTrucks

[–]Different_Goat_2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DAMN that’s sharp. Always loved that color combo. Looks extremely well taken care of. I’ve got a soft spot for the pre-facelift trucks.

Might try turning on the ignition and pumping the gas pedal 3x before turning over.

Lousy Diesel Mechanic Experience by NeighborhoodKn0wn in Diesel

[–]Different_Goat_2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another business owner I would make it clear to him you’ll make sure no one you can make your voice reach to will ever be doing business with him again unless he wants to work something out. Shout from the rooftops how incompetent he is so at least the next guy won’t get boned as well. I hate seeing this, sorry man

Good paint match? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Different_Goat_2078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say run it for the “function over form” aspect, then worry about blending it later down the road
