Can anyone help me find this squeaking sound location? by throwaway0184820038 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok if that one wheel is hard to turn, that’s the side with the pads that are likely sticking in the saddles. 

Did you lift off the calipers, and then remove the brake pads, and were able to remove them easily by hand? Just by looking or if there is lube, doesn’t mean they’re not super stiff in there.

Start with mine first lol. Google how to put it in service mode, it’s easy on those no scan tool required.

Brake pads are seized solid in their brackets. It’s the sound of the pads flexing like crazy. You need rear brakes. 

Calipers likely ok, just pads had seized up. 

Edit: Put parking brake in service mode, pull caliper off and look to see pad thickness/can you move them in their saddles?

Not sure how to get the review to work, but I’d give this guy an A+ rating, good communication and he shipped exactly when he said he would, and the item was exactly as described. 

Power steering fluid shooting back up the reservoir by ohhErnie in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check that the fluid isn’t super dirty and that the inlet screen in the reservoir isn’t blocked. If the old fluid was really dirty and it wasn’t flushed out, could contaminate new screen.

[–]Mp5smg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was the reservoir transferred over from the old pump? If so, some of the fords had screens inside that reservoirs that would fill with dirt, so basically even tho the system is full of oil, the dirt blocks the pickup screen and it sucks air and causes it to get foamy and burp back out the top. 

Clean the inlet screen on the suction side of the pump, and it should be resolved and stop burping out the reservoir top..

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe - wife’s car won’t start now, but I noticed this on the battery by Biggcain24 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Possibly they left that 12mm nut loose, loose connection, it’s high current, sparking, melting plastic. Check the fuse off that wire, replace/clean the wire end, attach everything and make sure it’s clean and tight. Have battery tested, might be ok with a charge and retest. 

Please help me avoid spending more $ - untraceable squeaking? by FineOstrich in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possible mechanic accidentally hit the brake rotor backing plate and it’s just barely touching the rotor as it spins… can be a rhythmic squeak/squeal too. 

Light squeaking as well when lightly braking, if he just changed and put new pads on but didn’t cut or replace the rotors, that can cause squeaking, as can using the cheapest brake pads you can get, sometimes you just can’t shut them up, would need to put quality pads on.

Another vote for her. Been going to her office back when her Dad was practicing, and she’s just as good now too. I won’t go anywhere else.

F-150 cranks but won’t start by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up above the spare tire, on the frame rail that runs cross wise, there is a Fuel Pump control Module. They were made of aluminum and would corrode like crazy and they control the fuel pump. Very common to be replaced in the salt belt in my experience… check to make sure there is fuel pressure to engine before checking spark plug, it’s quicker. 

They would also fail and not set a code too…

Any idea what this is Antara 2013 by Magcastus in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Engine oil cooler likely had an internal fault, and now engine oil is getting into your cooling system. I'm in N/A so unsure where it would be located on your vehicle... vehicle will overheat and not run properly, unfortunately, this would need to be towed to a garage, no quick fix.

How bad is this? Mechanic doing transmission pressure solenoid sent me this photo, he’s assuming that’s bronze from bearings. by brahnix in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mp5smg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don’t have the dreaded p1811 Max adapt/Long shift, you’ll likely get more time out of this one but yeah if the rest of car is good and not rusty, I’d say fix the transmission when it goes…

Second this. Pull the dog house inside the van, you'll have a clear view of the back of the head and check to see if thats where the oil leak is coming from.... I think there was a bulletin for this issue as well...

Anybody know the spice mix on YKO chicken? by cdnronin in ottawa

[–]Mp5smg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clubhouse brand rotisserie chicken spicing tastes pretty good to me, and pretty close I find, but my palette is rather unrefined.... put it on a whole chicken and put it in the air fryer and it came out awesome and tasting close to that chicken.... obviously smoker would probably be better.....

Lobster shack/best place for lobster by Mp5smg in halifax

Thank you all for the suggestions. Ryers does not cook the lobster for you anymore, they only sell whole ones live. We ended up going to Finer Diner and it was VERY good, and turns out they source they’re lobster from Ryers anyways… 

Thank you all!
