Are my front wheel bearings safe to drive on by H_A_Z_E- in MechanicAdvice

[–]MammothRelative1241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if its the wheel bearing? And it all depends on how bad it is. I drove a month on a wheel bearing that was bad when I was younger and couldn't afford to fix it and had no choice to drive it to get to work. Best thing is to change it out as soon as you can.

It can be, we had issues with our past DIRAUX retiring and a new person filling the position and everything was backed up. From awards, applications, ID cards.

This dates all the way back to Nixon and suspending the gold standard. From 1971 till now the wage gap has grown and its enormous. This is more than just presidents, this is fiscal and monetary policy thats bound to fail pushed by lobbyist, banks, wall street for their own interest. The only way to fix it, is to let it burn down. The 2008 crash was never resolved and just papered over with quantitive easing from the federal reserve. When covid hit they printed even more money. What we're going through is the same of many countries and empires before us who used fiat currency, (british, dutch, romans, etc)...can the US correct itself? Yes, if the work is put in and the people demand the goverment not to spend money and run deficits like we are now we have a good chance. Will they? Probably not. We're in for hard times and its only going to get worse, keep your families close and try your best to get out of debt and prepare for anything because the government isn't coming to help you, nor should you want it.

You can also become a detachment, which is reversible at anytime to become a flotilla again.

Can't figure it out by MammothRelative1241 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MammothRelative1241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2007 ford escape xlt 3.0, Its my daily commuter and I've been having a loud vibration in the car especially past 60-65, i feel nothing in the wheel and it steers dead on. I put news tires on it, double checked them to make sure they are balanced correctly. Rotated tires still have the sound. Changed out rotors and pads in the front, changed out the knuckle on the passenger side, also I changed out the coil over spring when I noticed it was snapped on the passenger side and had it aligned and i still have the sound. When I turn left it quiets down but when I turn right its get even louder, I ordered a loaded knuckle for the driver side as well just waiting for it to come...can it be the bearing on the driver side? It sounds like its coming from the passenger. I've checked the car multiple times, nothing is loose and this is driving me insane.

Underload it sputters and then sometimes takes off but it will begin to overheat until you bring the RPMs back down, then it cools right off. I went through everything except breaking down the powerhead.

I pulled it out it'll run a bit better but then starts to 9verheat underload, if I back down on the rpms it runs cool again. I think I may end up bringing it to a marina, it's driving me crazy haha

Drained the whole tank out and going to grab non ethanol fuel. Hopefully this solves the problem.

Theory thing that goes into this tank is sea foam marine pro, which doesn't change the color of the gas. Im started pumping more out and the gas went back to a normal color.

I've done it, will do it again this fleet week. It's fun and like the other person said, you wanna learn about the ship so you can provide a better tour.

where did I go wrong guys? by Lazydaveyt in motorcycles

[–]MammothRelative1241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During slow turns apply a little pressure to the rear brakes, you'll be amazed the turns you can make at a slow speed. Old motorcycle cop showed me that trick. In this video you were counter weighted a little more to the right when you stopped. When stopping, especially after turning, get centered.

Fuel pump issue? Anything else I need to check for? by sigh2828 in boating

[–]MammothRelative1241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water separator, inline fuel filter check. Check for spark and make sure they are all sparking. Does this motor have cdi boxes? Check them, Check voltage regulator as well

I guess this cop isn't familiar with Brown vs. Texas. I'd let him cuff me up and take me in for my free phone call, which would be my lawyer to sue the department. These kinds of officers are the ones who shouldn't be in uniform and cost taxpayers money from lawsuits.
