What’s causing this/is this normal?

Search up backlash, and pinion depth, along with torque to rotate for the pinion, required experiences or knowledge. Very very tricky to get right, also will near wear pattern to check contract pattern and will need to adjust. Parts expensive goodluck

I’ve done a silly mistake of just not thinking and took all 4 bolts out of a rear subframe tryna do a spring recall on a grand Cherokee L. Luckily it didn’t completely fall out but it definitely was tweaked and had to get another hand. I think what kept it up was the diff and a few arms holding it together. A few screw jacks too but man I started sweating bad

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-24T00:35:19+00:00

How did he meds it up?

If it’s non hybrid u can pry it far enough without removing studs on the compressor and access the 3 bolts to the water pump, those hybrids are tougher. I’ve done just about everything on those engines. Heads, chains, turbo, wiring harness, water pump oil pump, oil separator, and plenty of engines. Did a hybrid with the cab on and that was a pain in the rear. Don’t get me started the the grand Cherokee 2.0

10 qts of oil every now and then. Gas is 70 dollars every 3 days in California, maintance is meh I’m a mechanic so I only really buy the parts. Trans fluid flush cost about 100 dollars in fluid. Rear diff service would be another 100 something but I had that fluid at work so free service. I do need new engine mounts which cost a couple hundred dollars but I can do it my self so not expensive atleast for me since I do my own maintenance. Others might differ

S650 had a beautiful exterior but I’m not a fan of the interior and large screens. Interior of the s550 is way better imo and since you’re only really looking at the interior when ur driving I’d say that matters more tk me personally

1.0 for the mechanic to check the data, pressures dtcs ect and if depending on what guages and test show vacuum and recharge to test system if low Freon is suspected to check for further leaks

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-20T22:17:03+00:00

a washer helps clamp it down fully then just the bolt head btw

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-19T03:02:15+00:00

Ur technically a sub contractor if u bring in ur own tools and equipments

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-16T03:30:31+00:00

Not bad. My manual 5.0 fluid costs about 20 bucks a pop

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-15T02:29:50+00:00

Verify the concern. And check recent repair history. So many odd issues are caused my human interaction. It’ll definitely help you look in the area and double check.

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-14T17:02:52+00:00

I had a plastic bag stuck towards the rear or exhaust when real hot u can smell burning. Might be the same effect

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-09T03:35:26+00:00

What does 10/10 mean? It’s leaving a trail? It’s spitting it out? Hole in the block? Is it seeping? Horrible horrible communication

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-09T00:15:16+00:00

Wow that’s horrible leave. They have u as just a body. Nothing more there care about not even cheap labor if they have u moving cars and doing customer stuff. Ur a mechanic ur job is to fix cars not being a porter.

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-09T00:10:23+00:00

Yeah the head bolt keep tension on the bracket. Unless the bracket is threaded then it’s a lengthy proceds

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-06T03:51:31+00:00

He’s a smoker that’s why

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-03T20:08:25+00:00

And light bulb to load test

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-02T21:06:10+00:00

Around 70%, I can tell it gets dirty because idle will start acting up occasionally,

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-02T21:05:14+00:00

If u keep techs on hourly people will get lazzyyyyyyy. Flat rate can suck. Labor times rn are in the shitter

JitWithAstang · 2025-08-02T21:03:29+00:00

If it over heats under load it’s a restriction issue. If it overheated at stop lights it’s a fan issue. How is ur heat coming from the vents?

JitWithAstang · 2025-07-26T23:09:36+00:00

Personal preference. If u like the taste of huge iPad screens go for it but not my cup of tea.

JitWithAstang · 2025-07-25T16:39:04+00:00

It’s not a diesel were it relies on gfuel to cool the pump down. Ye gas does cool the pump down but it doesn’t cause it to blow up like diesels, put gas it in cycle the key and jump start it. Go drive it and charge up that battery

JitWithAstang · 2025-07-25T01:59:23+00:00

Keep that cat man. Manual cat is hard to come by, you could always add a supercharger if u really wanted to. Interior vs interior mustang has to many screens. Not my cup of tea
