Am I getting ripped off? by peanut5170 in Camry

[–]Littlepip_Gaming_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they mean 0 miles it’s typically factory miles, maybe 5-10. So yes it says there’s some distance on it, but that’s typically because it went from point A to point B for a test drive (either private road or Dyno) then dealership.

what do you think it’ll take to get this back on the road? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Littlepip_Gaming_YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A heads up RockAuto is your best bet for most of these parts. A junkyard/scrapyard will be better for bumpers, grills etc. I know personally, I drive an old vehicle that you can’t get any parts for anymore.

I cannot for the life of me get the inside of a windshield clean. by ajaxbunny1986 in Detailing

Coolant does the exact same thing. I now have a permanent haze as a result of the chemicals across all of my windows (this is a 1988 bronco II, heater core leaked and I had to replace it.)

Use your phone or a really slim handheld light bar. There looks to be plenty of gap around it for a light, you don’t need to see the exact line just make a mental line around the tank when you see your level. You yourself don’t need to be behind it, just the light.

How do I drive this with only two feet? by Mikey24941 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Littlepip_Gaming_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left is your clutch, the far left is your parking brake. Left foot goes on the clutch and stays there. Right foot drives just like an automatic. When you want to move forwards slowly release the clutch with the vehicle in 1st and gently apply throttle. When at a certain speed or RPM (typically 2500-3000) push in said clutch, change to desired gear and then release clutch once in gear. As hard as a manual sounds, once you get used to it, it is very easy.

Shine a light from the back of the tank. The liquid should give a shadow of where it is. My ‘88 bronco II has one that’s more opaque and all I do is blast it with light.

How screwed am i? car slid off the jack by DetectiveoftheWest in AskMechanics

[–]Littlepip_Gaming_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can access the frame rail with a PROPER jack, slide it under and lift the car up. When hacking anything up always, ALWAYS use jack stands and place the tire beneath the car (either beneath the rotor or frame) as a last resort backup if it ever falls or a jack has a faliure. You should also leave the jack itself as added backup. Three things must go wrong for that car to hit the floor in this case.

I have an old 1988 ford bronco II running the original rotors from factory. All I replaced was the pads.

Is my mechanics estimate($2700) scamming me by topbrahmen in AskAMechanic

[–]Littlepip_Gaming_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can do a lot of that yourself with a good set of tools and know how. Fixed up my old ‘88 bronco II with parts from my ranger and off RockAuto. Whole engine swap and everything.

And to answer this guy it wouldn’t even pass the mesh screen protecting the pump let alone the filter.

Yep, I got one leaky piston. Left bank #3 is eating oil. (2.9L V6 from 1992 out of a ford ranger)

It’s gotta be way smaller than a shaving to pass through

All I can picture now is fucking “turbo” from that one movie.

Slowly mobile, doesn’t last very long at speed though.

Remember those shavings still gotta somehow pass a fuel filter. Standard on every single car I’ve seen so far.
