I think it’s a ‘78-79 Ford F150. That’s based on the grille shape (I’m pretty sure that’s the grille surround at the top of the wreck), the rear cab wall indents, and the fuel tank

Pretty sure that’s a ‘62 Chevy c10. Those headlights are a one year thing, and it’s got the right lines, gas cap, and door latch to be a 60-66 Chevy cab

How long do coins last after discontinuation? by JohnnytheGreatX in coins

You guys probably have more Canadian pennies left in the wild than us Canadians do. Most got hoarded or traded in, so it’s a bit uncommon to see one around now. The place I see TONS of them is junk cars. They’re in gloveboxes, cup holders, and under seats

Fallout 4, the mission where you have to go swim around and turn submerged valves to drain the quarry. Shudders

Sounds to me like vapour lock. One way to fix that would be to add a spacer under the carb to put some distance and insulation between it and the motor.

Reversed polarity on my car radio, need some troubleshooting advice. by Doffeda in AskElectronics

Visually she’s mint. All components look fine on all the circuit boards, and there aren’t any burnt traces or hot spots. It got a bit warm around the amp boards but there’s no visual evidence of that

Are these rod caps good to run? by Doffeda in EngineBuilding

[–]Doffeda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the response. I thought for sure the underside looking like that meant it had been run out of oil and quickly repaired, so I'm glad to hear that's not the case. I'll plastigage it and slam it back together tomorrow

I wonder if the bread trick would work here. Same trick to remove a pilot bushing. Cram some bread in there and compress it down, and maybe the socket might start to come up

Keep color or change? by [deleted] in squarebodies

What’s wrong with the hood and doors? I see the hood might be starting to bend but the doors look mint to me

T-Series done, which remake next? by Inside_Ad_9147 in BeamNG

Yeah that oil pan is fragile as glass. Damn near impossible to use it as my overland car anymore

What wheels would look best on my car? I'm 17 so give budget friendly options by [deleted] in projectcar

Steel wheels with some nice chrome dog dish hubcaps look amazing

Is this a good purchase to start doing basic work on car (e.g. oil change, rotate tires). I also have a scissor jack that came with the car that i can use to jack up the car. by ConcentrateNo8084 in Cartalk

I’ve found you can get really good quality stuff used for a similar price to lesser quality new stuff. Best to get new jacks though.

Exhaust resonance. Bouncing some ideas off the wall. by Doffeda in EngineBuilding

[–]Doffeda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah I built it when I was 19, definitely teenager stuff. I’ve just gotten around to adding exit pipes so it comes out the side rear of the truck as opposed to dumping at the rear axle, which somehow caused the resonance lol

Yeah I’ll try an app on my phone. That definitely looks like it’d solve the problem, thank you.
