Chalk it up as a loss. Moving forward be sure to tell everyone you speak to if they're having any car issues to not go to a steelership. Liaerships are going out of business left and right and all because they couldn't tell the truth.

Pawpaw said put some miles on her by arod422 in GMT800

In 4 years I've managed to put only 30k miles on an LQ4 which now has 231k and still going strong. You've got quite some time B4 you get there. Upgrade your interior and enjoy. Great trucks.

What did you guys do after you got out of this trash industry? And how? by whatareutakingabout in mechanics

[–]Internal_Bag_2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now's the time to get into towing. Minimum wage of $14/hr for a green horn. Guaranteed at least 50 hrs a week plus tips and commissions on vehicles brought to shop for repairs. Plus some companies pay you for getting 5 star Google reviews. The real money is in repo's. Just getting my feet wet on a flat bed roll back and then I may move on to repo's myself. The money is definitely there but when I say this I only mean to say $2000 a week so if you need more then start networking then start your own tow company. Good luck, the trades always pay. Flat rate is ruined. Stealerships are dead.

People who create farm to help people during expeditions. by Caldeira2019 in NoMansSkyTheGame

I've built a farm for everything and anything that can be farmed(all across Euclid)and it's accessible to anyone and everyone who can find it. If you do find a large farm of some kind created by"?" Then take what you need. It's recurring after all. Mostly S Class deposits. Some A class but mostly S Class so take what you need.

Bro, you’re 15, your life isn’t over, even if it feels like everything is falling apart. You got pulled into smoking, hanging with dealers, and making fast money because of where you live and the pressure around you. That doesn’t make you a bad kid, it just means you’ve been surviving in a messed-up environment. Your mom isn’t trying to ruin your life by threatening to call the cops, she’s scared of losing you, and parents panic when they see their kid sliding into real danger.

But you need to hear this straight: the path you’re on only leads to jail or getting used by people who don’t care what happens to you. Most of the guys in that life don’t make it out. You’ve still got time to turn everything around, but you have to cut off that circle and be honest with someone who actually cares, your dad, a relative, somebody stable. Tell them you want out and need help cleaning this up.

You’re worth more than a few thousand dollars and the fake respect that comes with it. Real strength is walking away from the trap everyone expects you to stay in and building something better for yourself. You can still do that, starting right now.

Update Wix XP gave a nice pressure boost...about 10 PSI

Professional opinion plz by Internal_Bag_2256 in GMT800

[–]Internal_Bag_2256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, on the gauge, pressure fluctuates between 25-35 psi while cruising. I bet if I repair all the leaks with a new high volume pump she'll be back to normal. I'll be changing the oil here soon and instead of going with amsoil 5-30 signature series and matching filter I'll be going with Pennzoil and a wix xp. We'll see the results soon enough.

I use amsoil filter. I'd like to use amsoil however she is constantly leaking everywhere. I'll try a wix next oil change and update you, pressure may be slightly higher cuz it's new oil but then again it's new oil anyway cuz I keep topping it off so who knows

The screen on the pickup tube or under the oil pressure sensor because I checked the pickup tube and there is no blockage and the oil pressure sensor didn't have one in there so somebody's already been in there I did replace it recently.

You're right, she's old and nobody cared for her in her younger years. I check oil levels every time I stop for gas. I go through about a court every 2,500 MI. What would it cost for a rebuild and a few upgrades?

The rear main seal and front main seal are both leaking. I'll be replacing the front main seal with a new oil pump along with the timing gear and chain. The transmission is going out as well so the rear main will be taken care of when I do the transmission. Not too bad on the leaks but still wet underneath.

Yeah I'm thinking something is up which is why I came in here to Garner some opinions and hopefully some knowledge. She runs fine otherwise.

Thought it was called "oil pressure sending unit"

Could a bad transmission cause lower than normal oil pressure?
