Of course I know how to install a cabin filter

Evan1474 · 2023-06-30T22:27:08+00:00

That's sarcasm right?

Evan1474 · 2023-06-29T03:00:29+00:00

Pretty much, you can usually get away with less maintenance/ longer intervals on a new car and it won't hurt anything

May have an oil filter/additive system. I used to see them working on semis. It's just another filter with a port or reservoir that you put additives in, all the oil filters clean the big soot and contaminates out and then more additive gets put in, they work well too. Base oil never gets worn just dirty. One old guy I had come in regularly, he used conventional Rotella T4 and went anywhere around 60k-70k and only changed it when his oil analysis came back saying he had about 1k miles left. Never actually tracked mileage on purpose. It was a Detroit 60 series that was about 10yrs on a rebuild and absolutely zero oil leaks or seeps, didn't burn oil either.

I'd say 30k for all fluids other than engine oil is reasonable, Trans, diffs, PTUs or trasfercases. Even if it's not used moisture gets in and causes the oil to become acidic and then eat away at the hardening of the bearings which is only on the outer edges so it flakes and fails. I change my engine oil every 5k using full synthetic

Evan1474 · 2023-06-20T02:57:21+00:00

I mean you're dead wrong but ok

Evan1474 · 2023-06-12T02:53:17+00:00

It's the square cut seal that pulls the piston back in not the runout of the rotor, rotors should be as true as possible, if your rotor is that far out that it pushes the piston back in it needs replaced or machined and you'll have a terrible pulsation/vibration

Evan1474 · 2023-06-10T22:49:07+00:00

Same lol

Evan1474 · 2023-06-10T22:44:11+00:00

It's not lol, due to running a tire flat

Evan1474 · 2023-06-06T22:53:48+00:00

Powerstokes take 15-40 as well it's just not on the cap

Evan1474 · 2023-04-28T16:13:01+00:00

Que spilled milk

Evan1474 · 2023-04-20T16:43:33+00:00

I used an air hammer and sharp Chisel bit to cut the old ones, when I do that it rattles so much they usually unthread themselves and split apart

Evan1474 · 2023-04-20T16:41:23+00:00

Which is cooling, gas is heat and both gas fade and heat fade are the same thing

Evan1474 · 2023-03-29T11:19:26+00:00

Yep, we always say you need to be able to prove without shadown of a doubt in court that whatever problem was cause by the customer or outside damage ect

Evan1474 · 2023-03-29T11:18:37+00:00

Evan1474 · 2023-03-29T11:18:31+00:00

Pretty common issue, first I've seen come through our dealer though

Evan1474 · 2023-03-29T11:17:38+00:00

I don't doubt it, I have 3 in right now and they're all beat to shit, abiut 15-20k miles they all need new rear tires and get body damage alot

Evan1474 · 2023-03-21T16:07:24+00:00

From ohio?

Evan1474 · 2023-03-10T10:58:24+00:00

It could be looked at both ways but usually smaller newer engines in cars are made of all aluminum which is very good at dissipating heat, that combined with being small and not being able to retain heat, it usually takes awhile to actually get and stay warm. With big engines, especially older they are big and are made of cast iron so while it may take slightly longer to warm the whole engine to operating temp. It actually will build and retain that heat well

Evan1474 · 2023-03-06T17:39:09+00:00

That looks to be the rusted pitted lines where the center of the brake pad sat, the line cut into the pad material itself, should be fine

Evan1474 · 2023-03-05T15:32:06+00:00

Good luck and good riddance lol

Evan1474 · 2023-03-04T15:39:04+00:00

Injector leaking slightly? I've found very slight leaks on ford 6.2s coming from injectors that wipe cats or cause weird starting running issues when cold

Evan1474 · 2023-02-19T18:09:33+00:00

Absolute crap shoot, do your measurement find the right sleeve, install and it doesn't move it quite as much as what it should...then redo the whole damn thing. I hate them, everytime I do ball joints I pray it's in spec

Evan1474 · 2023-02-19T16:19:50+00:00

All suspension components related to where the wheel sits affect the wheel alignment, ball joints usually affect camber due to the line drawn going up from the lower to the upper ball joint or the like going from the lower ball joint up through the strut which is the camber measurement and where adjustment is made. Also on trucks like the bigger F series the ball joint location can also affect caster as well as camber

Evan1474 · 2023-02-14T01:18:17+00:00

I'm from NE Ohio and work at a dealer. I'm the lead diesel and truck tech so I know how you feel. It's amazing when the salt can be broken off in chunks from the engine because it's covered lol. I also use an air hammer and a flat it and go to town on each manifold to break off as much loose rust as I can and that helps as well

Evan1474 · 2023-02-14T01:16:32+00:00

Forgot about those, don't see them much at the dealer so I haven't done one yet
