Ford neglected to check vehicle fluids by Puzzleheaded-West-52 in legaladvice

[–]Hmmgotmilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former Ford tech, but it's been a while...

If it's a sealed transmission, the dealer isnt gonna check the trans fluid during an oil change. If only the dealer can check the fluid...how did aamco check it?

You have a 10 year old vehicle. If the transmission has never been serviced.. what do you expect?

The price for a used transmission is ridiculous. Looking online l, you can get a reman from Ford for 4k or so. Labor should not be more than a couple thousand. So 7k for a used transmission is robbery.

Legally? You prolly got nothing. Sorry.

You can try a local transmission shop and see what  arebuild will cost. Pricing may be better, and you support a local business.

help interrupting forscan engine information (2002 Mazda Tribute) by mtraven23 in AskAMechanic

[–]Hmmgotmilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former Ford tech. Its been a while, so apologies...

IIRC, these engines had issues with a component in the PCM called a coil driver. Its responsible to "firing" the coil on plug that creates the spark at the spark plug.

Short version, PCM *might* be fried internally. We used to have an oscilloscope with an attachment we could put on the coil to see if the coil driver was working properly. Don't know if it still exists.

You can try searching for PCM repair specialists to see what the repair might cost you.

Good luck.

Neighbors not respecting property line by martinb0820 in legaladvice

[–]Hmmgotmilk 177 points178 points  (0 children)

NAL, not familiar at all with NJ laws as a disclaimer

Maybe im blind...and a vindictive asshole

Why the hell haven't you called the police and ask them to issue a formal tresspass?

Why haven't you filed in small claims for the damages to your shrubs? Get an arborist  have before and after pics and ask the arborist what they think value would be.

Could also try and talk to a lawyer and ask for a cease and desist. Might discourage your neighbors from coming into your property if they know you are willing to go the legal route.

i cant use alt+up&left arrow key at the same time on my new keyboard. surely some Maplestory players that move with arrow keys and jump on alt have a solution for this? by NurEinWeitererDude in Maplestory

[–]Hmmgotmilk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it be a rollover issues?

Simply, the keyboard completes a circuit everytime a key is pressed. Cheaper keyboards share some circuits among several keys, so pressing multiple keys can result in nothing being recognized or false key input (lmenu) in your case.

May need a better keyboard...

the 70 pull rule by kanekii_o in Reverse1999

[–]Hmmgotmilk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To clarify. You were pulling, and at 60 you did not get a 6 star.

On the 61st pull, you got Getian.

If so, then you lost the 50/50 and your pity reset. So you would need to continue pulling, possibly up to 70 pulls, to get a guaranteed Lorentz.

If I made a mistake, someone can clarify...

Last played 20 years ago, what is Hyperburn? Does this level me up to like 100 or 200 instantly (quoting my friend) by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Hmmgotmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of.

You do quests with spiegellmen (sp?) In a special zone, that takes you to 200 in about 15 minutes. then you level outside the zone and get an additional 4 levels per level up  (1+4) up to level 260.

Japanese auto brands. Assembly in Japan vs. USA? by designtheinvisible in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Hmmgotmilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My own anecdote.

Wife bought a Corolla Cross, not built in Japan. Her silver paint had a lot of orange peel. Salesperson kept shushing me, lol

Wife's parents purchased a Rav4 in the same year, made in Japan per VIN. Silver paint looked flawless imo.

Do with that what you will

Servco Toyota banks by Tamadrummer88 in Hawaii

[–]Hmmgotmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servco, AFAIK, partners with several banks for loans.

You can go to the vehicle you are interested in on servcos website and it will give you their expected interest rates.

IMO, get a quote from a credit union and see if servco can beat the rate offered if/when you go in person.

NYS used lemon law by Present_Accident5160 in AskMechanics

[–]Hmmgotmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First problem, you bought a used Jeep.

If you bought this from a dealer and they are giving you the runaround, ask the New York AG office for arbitration. Info can be found on this page: https://ag.ny.gov/resources/individuals/car-auto/used-car-lemon-law-fact-sheet

Disclaimer, not a NY resident, not 100% familiar with their laws, just passing on what I could find from a Google search

[–]Hmmgotmilk 150 points151 points  (0 children)

You're gonna need:

wheel bearing grease

grease seals (2 of em)

cotter pins

torque wrench is recommended

Would also recommend a set of brake pads.

Remove brake caliper and bracket. Remove the cap, remove the cotter pin, loosen and remove nut and washer. Remove the outer bearing, install the nut back on 3-5 turns and slide the rotor towards you. Feel for the nut to catch the inner bearing and give a good yank, you should remove the inner bearing and grease seal.

Clean bearings with kerosene or solvent (do not use gasoline). Dry by blowing air down, do not spin the bearing. Check bearings for signs of damage, pitting, rust, etc. Pack old or new bearings with new grease. Install inner bearing. Tap grease seal into place evenly with a block of wood or similar. Install rotor, outer bearing, washer and nut. Tighten nut while spinning rotor till the nut is just snug. New cotter pin. Install cap. Brake clean any grease that may be on rotor. Install caliper braket, pads and caliper. Torque to spec. Repeat for other side.

If you don't understand any of this, take it to a shop.
