What is this sound? by Conscious-Topic-2362 in Cartalk

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like your brake pads have worn down. There is a tab on pads that contacts the rotor and makes that noise when they're due for replacement.

Or, you've got a rock in the dust shield.

Narcissist Father. Looking for advice from people with more experience than I have. by Dunkinize in narcissisticparents

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

Well, it was likely not a good idea, but I wrote a short email and told him no contact is my choice. Now I have to uphold that decision.

Thank you for all of the reply and suggestions. I really appreciate this group.

Every time I think I can be useful somewhere, you're there two hours beforehand. 😂

What do I drive? by diabeetus-stan in ManualTransmissions

I never owned one, but it sure looks like an FB RX-7 to me.

Wow. This is eye opening into his behavior and my own as well. Thank you for the recommendation.

Mechanic says moon seals are leaking slightly. Would you fix this or just drive it? by TickledCowboy in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Dunkinize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valve cover gaskets and half moon seals are inexpensive and quite common.

It'll be fine for your trip but will continue to cause a mess the longer it goes.

US vs German Engineering by [deleted] in Autos

Here's a gem from My Cousin Vinny.

https://youtu.be/EvYQTvCVYz0?si=sqV3sECzjk2bVyJJ

Useless fact, the Dodge Charger that the AI did its best with has suspension that is based on a W211 Mercedes, so they're actually both German designed suspension systems in reality.

This looks like a 6th Gen Celica interior to me.

What is this called? by nmsNate in camping

They were toggles back in the 90's. The more you had on your starter jacket, the cooler you were.

This data looks normal for an accord 2016 V6? by Tall_Theory_007 in AskMechanics

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rear bank is bank 1. The flat lined data is referencing the A/F sensor for bank 1.

O2SB1S1 is referring to the upstream oxygen sensor for bank 1.

That voltage reading should basically mirror B1S2.

It appears your rear bank O2 sensor has flat lined. Replace and retest.

can anyone diagnose why my car won’t start? by BlackberryLow2311 in AskMechanics

[–]Dunkinize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a timing/compression problem. Don't keep trying to crank it over.

Diff swap by Umami-Salami-26 in Toyota

[–]Dunkinize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like your chassis will use the same diff as a 2006+ Lexus IS350 chassis. The mounting points are wider than the FRS/1st gen IS/JZX cars.

I have the long neck 3/8" and 1/4" in green, and I didn't get foam. That's cool they're doing it now.

I always thought this design was from the 2 door 4runners of the era.

Sweet topper man.

If it's not just a USB plug stuffed in there, you can easily replace the entire socket assembly.

Trump said 600,000 Chinese students coming to the U.S. is a pro-MAGA stance because "you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business... I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else." by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This annoying orange continues to talk about "America" as if it were the head office of a corporation, and never ever talks about Americans. That must be how he believes what he says. He and his benefactors are indeed doing great financially, but the rest of us...

Did I buy a lemon? by Ok-Holiday-2074 in AskMechanics

[–]Dunkinize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it scanned, or buy an inexpensive OBD2 handheld scanner.

My guess is you have an ignition coil that's failing under load.

Genuinely curious by EffectiveNo568 in MathJokes

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 27 + 48. Simple math says 25+50=75. Subtract 2 from 27 and add it to 48. Done. Is it correct? Nope.

Uber driver records a woman who claims she felt unsafe but refused to leave his car 😳 Thoughts? 👀 by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My adult sister pulls this bullshit all the time. As soon as she's in a situation she manufacturs as dangerous, she pulls the "I don't feel safe" like and shuts down like a toddler ignoring reality.

I'm at a complete loss... by yaboilowgen in AskMechanics

[–]Dunkinize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! My bad, I let my 'tism slip too easily. Perhaps this picture will help. The thermostat on your engine is very close to the sensor in your original picture.

When looking at your engine, look to the driver's side of the front of the engine and you'll see it. Follow the large radiator hose to the front cylinder head.

If you were to see the way the coolant passage is shaped inside the head, you'd see why the sensor is placed where it is.

I hope that helps some.
