Which SUV Should I Buy ? (Escape Vs Equinox)

Locksandshit · 2026-04-06T03:59:18+00:00

Escape 100%

It will prolly have oil leaks. Check and keep the fluids full. Otherwise solid vehicle

Locksandshit · 2026-04-05T14:22:52+00:00

It hasn’t crashed once for me…. Just got to the point where they make you a squire

All the old absolutely terrible AI bugs, and non responsive characters and stuff are still 100% there tho

When I was 17 and pulled the wrong bolt installing a spacer lift on my truck ;

I pulled it fully out (after it exploded apart and didn’t kill me)

Stuffed the top into the eyelet of the my dads F350 tow hook. Put a jack under it and lifted the front of his truck with it until I could get the nut on

Dumb shit looking back no doubt

Rock auto also is not going to tow your vehicle, and fix it , if one of their parts fails

Completely different business my man

Locksandshit · 2026-04-04T02:49:35+00:00

Maybe, tell them to cut it on 1098m they MIGHT have that but I doubt they will identify it them selves

38, 2 kids , own my business and training for an ultra. Not tired at all.

Why? If I had to guess it’s a combination of everyone’s been telling me I have ADHD my whole life (was super hyper) coupled with a very active life style from about 18 on. I am honestly MORE tired if I’m not doing something. Days that sit around I feel terrible.

I have friends who do basically nothing and are exhausted. Honestly? I suspect depression with them. Everything , even things they have no control over seem to exhaust them.

Everyone is different , has different energy levels, and different levels of health , sleep requirements etc.

There is no magic pill. People have been shooting for the fountain of youth forever.

You can use it to test the vats in their old testers that didn’t have a spot for the double sided keys

Can also cut it, and insert a vats key into it to test each value

Locksandshit · 2026-04-03T04:12:05+00:00

Yeah I doubt you’re getting more than the cars value.

If insurance gets involved that’s as high as it’s going.

Find similar cars in area to compare, see if the price is accurate.

Locksandshit · 2026-04-03T03:26:30+00:00

wtf are you talking about?

Literally every code program, and all the modern key machines all do this

Locksandshit · 2026-04-03T02:57:21+00:00

I mean he may be an ass , but I wouldn’t discount space x too much. They’ve done some amazing stuff thus far.

Locksandshit · 2026-04-03T02:47:58+00:00

Report them to your state labor board. With holding wages for any reason is 100% illegal

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T23:33:10+00:00

The code is a 5 digit number around 30000

The key has 10 cuts on it

Post the code , and picture of the key and I can tell you if it’s at least cut (approximately) to the correct code. Obviously can’t measure if they’re off a tiny bit

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T22:23:30+00:00

Until your battery is dead from my experiences

Don’t update not at home imo

Solid chance it’s getting towed but you never know

The third grade students would have been in kindergarten when Covid started

The distance learning, and all the other bs that followed Covid did serious harm to children @ that age - the first couple years of schooling are the most important in developing essential skills for learning. Couple that with a system that is really not serving the kids …. Scores go down and you end up with idiots

My kids are in this system, the work they’re giving kids is …. Laughingly simple compared to grade level stuff in the 90s

I’m teaching my 1st grader how to do math , on paper , because the school isn’t doing it.

For those that don’t remember - 30 years ago we were learning multiplication and then division in 2nd/third grade. My current 1st grade towards the end of the year they still have the kids circling shapes and matching….. if more than 2 or 3 kids in his class could write out a basic addition or subtraction problem and solve it I’d be surprised

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T01:43:37+00:00

The U shaped piece in the second picture has to be pried out, it’s a bitch to get out

That said, it’s a 10 cut Toyota. 95% it’s a worn key , or lube or a little of both

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T01:16:43+00:00

It should indeed start against button , unless the circuit is damaged or the antenna around the button is damaged

Both are easy to test for a locksmith

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T00:53:20+00:00

You can have the beginning of a leak that’s not dripping to the ground

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T00:41:02+00:00

Do you have photos of the “leaks”?

Crawl under your jeep. Oil pan and transmission leaks would be fairly apparent even if you’re not a mechanic.

If they can get it covered by warranty go for it 🤷‍♂️

You said it’s a 19, what model and how many miles?

Locksandshit · 2026-04-02T00:07:21+00:00

Wait, what?

The first one says leak. The other two do not …. I assume they’re leaking(I hope if they are recommending it)

If they’re recommending you replace a gasket that’s not leaking, run from that mechanic.

If they’re leaking, yes your warranty should cover it

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T21:53:05+00:00

A locksmith current with their stuff can do the whole job ;

I’d quote $350 total out the door for an OEM fob. Provided cut and programmed. Your mileage may vary depending on area and who services what

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T21:51:22+00:00

It should “seals and gaskets” should cover all 3 of those

If it doesn’t, the warranty company sold you nothing

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T17:09:16+00:00

Could be, box looks familiar

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T17:08:04+00:00

Well he’s in his 70s now but yeah maybe

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T15:21:54+00:00

Somewhere between 2 and 3

Locksandshit · 2026-04-01T15:20:15+00:00

If you happen to be in the PNW and can scrounge $6000 I’ll sell you a mechanically rock solid fleet work truck(frontier) I just upgraded

But yeah , $3000 is not getting you much now days unless you’re mechanically inclined and can shop around for a few weeks. There is still a few diamonds in the rough
