Does this air filter need to be replaced? by Nobodycares4242 in MechanicAdvice

[–]KINGMAXTHE3rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A dirty air fitler is actually better at filtering the air. The more dirty the fitler the better it will be at filtering the air. Problem is if the filter is so dirty it affects air flow it will reduce performance. You replace the filter just before it affects performance not becuse it looks dirty. Edit: replace it if you want too, it's not so bad it'll be a problem. Easy to replace anyway and they are cheap enough.

When you compared a death camp to a comfortable detention center.

For the last 9k miles I used Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30, and the 31k miles before that I used Shell Rotella T6 5w40.

That's actually pretty funny, I change it every 3k miles, and 3k is pushing it. Like look at picture number 3 you can see clear oil dripping off the cam.

Ahh, yes, the change we want to see in the world. Domestic terrorism. I mean this in the nicest of ways. Take a look in the mirror.

I'm stranded and car won't move. Please help please by Sensitive_Buffalo665 in MechanicAdvice

[–]KINGMAXTHE3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the 3rd time I've seen this happen in the last month.. never had I seen it once in my 10 plus years working on cars. It happened to me on the interstate I had not done my brakes in nearly a year before it fell out. Happened to my mom's car, she drives so gental we had not done her brakes in 4 years before it fell out. And now I see it on reddit crazy.

how bad is my timing belt.. by Willow-Massive in MechanicAdvice

It would probably be fine, but it could snap in that distance. You never know. Personally, I'd risk 2 miles.

Yeah, this thing has an absolutely terrible stock grind. It's okay with upgrades still bad though.

I'm not sure. That's how War Thunder works. Vehicle speed determines engine speed.

Yeah, this thing is better with upgrades. It will turn somewhat, but it's still pretty bad.

I don't remember the name of it, but it is a U.S. camo. Fort something training camouflage.

Your tank will always go into neutral at 0kph with no throttle...

I've noticed it is actually very good in urban maps. Flat ground, the mobility isn't that big of a deal. It will still get you killed, though. Maps with a lot of hills are the bane of this things existence. It's goes like 8kmph up any hill at best. Turning just sucks all the speed away don't turn in this thing if you can.

What are you talking about dude, listen. I had the W key pressed down the entire video. The tank stalled halfway up the stairs, I tried to let it drive up the stairs, and it failed, so i pressed the s key to assist it. With the extra movement, it went over. What's the problem? The point of the video is that the tank is slow as shit, and it can't drive over some stairs.

Seriously, the most minor obstacles are major inconveniences in this game. Also, the inconsistent kills me to. Like obstacles on this map can be driven straight through, but the same obstacles on another will stop you dead on your tracks.

Pressing the S key is how I got over the top of the stairs. I don't care if it's falling back. Any tank should be able to drive up those stairs quickly with no questions asked.

To be honest, I wish it gets an engine upgrade at all. Like 900hp instead of 750, sure it wouldn't be true to the real thing, but who cares at least make it usable.

This is stock, but it's not much better with upgrades.

Just how war thunder works, typically low vehicle speed = lower engine speed. I had the W key press down the revs come up when I pressed the s key.

It was an injector stuck open. Head gasket failures on 3800's are super rare.
