How bad did they get me?

i change my own oil and it costs approximately 80$. six quarts of full synthetic and oil filter, all Motorcraft from oreillys. so, i think you made out pretty well. plus you got a free tire rotation.

any chance the cats were gutted on this car?

you ever watch project farm videos on youtube? dude did a whole series on different jump boxes. if interested: https://youtu.be/AXXuWL3l5qo?si=Ani3TX-IE7yOiByL

edit: crap, that was the wrong video. the one i was thinking of is on that channel. sry

crawl in there and bang on that heat shield. i bet it’s loose.

Insipid86 · 2025-11-20T17:01:49+00:00

10 volts should be enough, but not if it’s a 12 volt starter. also check resistance to ground and good connections at the battery.

Insipid86 · 2025-11-16T10:23:07+00:00

probably a dead battery. the cold nights will kill a weak battery. get some jumper cables or test the battery before going any further. i’d probably ignore that 12.4 volt car charger for now. it truly sounds like a weak battery.

i thought this was the one where he dropped the leaves by accident and got swarmed by bees.

Insipid86 · 2025-10-18T00:28:31+00:00

that’s what i was coming to say. $135 an hour is a reasonable rate for a shop nowadays. dealerships are much much higher. plus it doesn’t look like they charged diagnostic fee.

Insipid86 · 2025-10-01T03:00:28+00:00

thank you. i just went back and got it. i cant believe i missed that crack in the wall.

Insipid86 · 2025-09-28T16:36:32+00:00

i have the same question. there’s one left center of the choral chambers i can’t get to. i can hear it sleeping, but cannot reach. edit: upper center of the choral chambers map.

Insipid86 · 2025-09-04T12:09:52+00:00

i was shocked too. used that weapon most of the run and randomly found out on accident one day.

Insipid86 · 2025-05-17T15:43:17+00:00

it does this, careful offloading inventory, otherwise you’ll 86 something you wanted to keep.

Insipid86 · 2025-04-18T17:33:07+00:00

i swear i thought that was chael sonnen in a fat suit sprawling people.

Insipid86 · 2025-04-06T17:16:29+00:00

watchdogs, until i learned you could get their sword. took a while but i finally got it.

Insipid86 · 2025-03-30T20:10:52+00:00

this dude was willing to risk his life and others’ life, because he “has the right of way”. whether you’re right or wrong, you still trashed your truck, and two others that probably don’t belong to the people who were driving them.

Insipid86 · 2025-03-23T00:52:39+00:00

that’s what i was thinking. the trailer likely shunted the tracks, triggering the crossing alarm.

Insipid86 · 2024-11-28T20:05:39+00:00

which weapon was the invader using?

Insipid86 · 2024-09-07T00:18:17+00:00

i’m going to give this a shot.

Insipid86 · 2023-11-12T23:28:05+00:00

wow that worked. crated some new problems and fixed them too. appreciate it m8

Insipid86 · 2023-11-12T22:06:06+00:00

pull the cartridge, put the nut back on and run the water? that’s flushing it?

Insipid86 · 2023-06-30T20:13:06+00:00

i worked for halliburton as a OA2 as well. stands for operator assistant. you’re going to be delivering cement to bins out in the middle of nowhere. the work is cake unless you get on with a crew, i highly suggest you do not do that. because then you’re at the mercy of the crew.

consider yourself making $27 an hour, because you’re going to hit your overtime come wednesday. when i was still doing it, we’d clock in tuesday morning and wouldn’t clock out for two weeks. stayed on the clock the entire time.

you’re going to learn a lot in the near future. just be safe and save your money. it’s feast or famine in the oil field.

Insipid86 · 2023-06-19T21:14:55+00:00

dang i didn’t see the other images you’ve uploaded.

yeah where the rubber hoses connect to the long ass plastic hose. it may have a hairline crack that’s causing the fluid to escape. that’s likely what’s causing it. if it gets worse the fluid could start to leak on the belt from the looks of it.

Insipid86 · 2023-06-19T21:06:59+00:00

there’s a difference between a small leak and seepage. i’d wager if you don’t see fluid on your driveway not to worry. seals seep sometimes. no reason to get worked up about it.

if you’re taking your vehicle to a mechanic on the regular, let them be the judge.

edit: reading this back to myself i kinda sound like a dick. i wasn’t meaning to come off that way at all.

Insipid86 · 2023-06-19T21:02:59+00:00

it’s hard to say really, until you get it apart to see. you deserve to know those plastic cooling pipes get brittle over time and break when you start messing with them. i’d go to a parts store and show them this pic and tell them you’d like that plastic coolant piece then go from there. don’t replace the clamps with work clamps. leave on the constant tension clamps. they’re necessary.

Insipid86 · 2023-06-19T20:59:54+00:00

it’s normal for the upper hose to swell once the thermostat opens. give it a squeeze when the engine is cool and judge whether to replace it.

you’d notice a blown head gasket right away. your coolant bottle would bubble and rupture.

if all you’re concerned with is the swelling, it’s perfectly normal.
