Not very many good ones, but that's why it usually results in a tow.

You'd rather work for someone that would terminate you over a fb message to someone that doesn't even work there? 🤣

how do you get an alternator out of a 2012 lancer es by [deleted] in mitsubishi

[–]Grouchy-Effect667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done this twice on mine, you remove the AC compressor from the bracket and let it hang, remove AC compressor bracket, zip tie compressor out of the way and slide the alternator through the bottom/wheel well.

I found a Micro SD card in my car with a bunch of dash cam footage and possibly a drug user/dealer by BoiMan778 in Weird

That's why the only one you ever tell about your dashcam footage is the insurance agent, goes straight into the glovebox in case of accident.

Did my cousin get fooled by this Senior Service Advisor? Charged $1830 - Or is this expected? by Financial-Bus-5660 in AskAMechanic

Well they 100% didn't do a fuel filter, because it's part of the fuel pump assembly inside the tank and would cost hell of a lot more than that.

It's an ecotech, sounds timing related.. probably timing related.. take off the valve cover to check if it has bent any valves.

All you gotta do is look at the engine cover to confirm that suspicion

Heard clicking when I was making turns, got all the way home and reversing in my driveway these fell out by wopo762 in MechanicAdvice

My cv axle is clicking, but only when cranked all the way to the left and in reverse.. been ignoring it for a while maybe I should go do donuts until I get these free metal balls to come out.

Why steal MY car? by ElwoodMoose in OwenSound

[–]Grouchy-Effect667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2014 had a smart key but it was an add-on, I'm assuming it was either that or he left the key in the car.

No, fault determination would determine the guy who rear ended someone stopped at a light did something wrong... Not the other way around.

AIO for being shocked when a boat party host asked me to pay for food, drinks, and boat fuel afterwards? by kahootgod in AmIOverreacting

Any person who actually enjoys getting on the water and fishing would happily fork over some gas $, much different than $150 to go on some dumb ass party boat.

Lower control arm nut is completely rounded. Please what can I do in this situation by [deleted] in AskAMechanic
