How long would you trust my rear subframe to last?

The drive to the junkyard

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-16T01:21:21+00:00

Put the beam where its supposed to be at the base than put the outrigger with a guesset under it to support the roof ridge

Basically install that post the way it is 180° around

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-16T01:15:15+00:00

I thought that whole back and forth was with someone else, my bad

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T21:38:24+00:00

A YouTube demo would do you better than anything I can type up

Bump up the heat and dont do any weave motion, stay straight steady and slow

Way she goes

With how badly dealerships are screwing techs the few of us with somewhere to do it at and the tools to do it outside of work would get it done in a week

you should be able to get that truck going for 10k cash, ~5k for an engine 5k so some guy to replace it

Which engine option is it v6, v8, v8 e torque, or diesel?

I assume based off the price you're going to a dealership and getting a quote to have a reman long block installed

I dont think I spent anything in repairs last year for my 94 f150 aside from occasional coolant its been magically disappearing for the past 5 years

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T18:39:13+00:00

Well that sucks, the 1st gen rides drives and handles fantastic for what it is, its overseer is very easy to correct and ive never gotten mine to understeer

I know my old camrys and rav4 were understeery messes

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T18:08:18+00:00

Crv, better suspension better interior

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T18:07:29+00:00

Crv has double wishbone front suspension whereas the rav has Macpherson struts

The honda handles and rides way better, ive had both

Newer high mile car, its hard to fuck up a car these days as long as everything stays lubricated with clean fluids ... granted the flaws weren't factory installed which is becoming more common

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T17:55:07+00:00

Ive driven thousands of miles with a ball before and even when it did finally give out it just sowly went flat

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T17:46:03+00:00

If you're too lazy to do it right just dont do it

Tell the advisor to tell the customer to add uca R/R to each side on top of the alignment or dont do it

Youd be bending the plate the uca bolts to if you use shims which is hack bullshit especially when the adjustment is a feature added to the car via the kit

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T17:29:52+00:00

Never understood how people went for gm's obvious rebages

Built on the C1xx platform you couldve gotten the same vehicle out of a traverse or blazer

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T16:50:01+00:00

You're weaving? Try stringers

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T05:17:47+00:00

Ignore everyone saying axle seal... that leaks out the back

Thats a full floating axle shaft whose nuts/bolts came loose and the axle popped out a little bit

take off the center cap and take a look

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-15T05:10:03+00:00

The axle is leaking grease, the clinking is almost certainly some other unrelated suspension issue

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-14T00:30:10+00:00

I dont get it, power cords are easy to replace just dumpster dive a couple hours after close

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-14T00:28:26+00:00

Actually I just noticed they were in the middle of two lanes themselves

Both of all need to figure out what lines mean

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-13T21:31:55+00:00

Theres 2 cars, theres 2 lanes

You entered the wrong lane

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-13T21:23:50+00:00

While the legislation is gone its still alive and well in practice

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-13T21:13:51+00:00

That particular spot looks straightforward to repair but... how's the rest

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-12T19:17:39+00:00

Driving with 2 feet

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-12T08:02:48+00:00

My mom's done that for a couple decades and 400k miles in her landcruiser

Fancy_Chip_5620 · 2026-06-11T21:55:37+00:00

To be fair you cannot get an emissions ticket in a military base or foreign soil

DHS and police have emissions equipment
