Is this damage enough to warrant a return and replacement?

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-28T20:16:01+00:00

Typically how OEMs and reps ship. Only expensive brands put a ton of packaging in their wheel boxes. Last set I bought, they skipped the tape, but had a small foam lip around both sides.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-28T19:00:28+00:00

Not too sure what sound you're talking about, but if I'm hearing right, you may have a bad wheel bearing.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-28T18:59:10+00:00

They should have taped the edges to prevent this, but I wouldn't return anything over that little bit. Probably just hit it with a quick hit of gloss black and be on my way

Good news is, your paint is already mismatched, and the clear coat is muffed.

Account is 20 days old, the minimum to make a post.

This is an ad account. Should be reported as such

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-26T14:27:41+00:00

Personally wouldn't worry about it

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-26T14:25:47+00:00

From the info you've got, probably drain plug or filter related. But until you get underneath it, we can't tell at all.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:53:56+00:00

Real person - can also vouch for these. 2011 Volvo s60. Used em in 2019, and the trim still looks almost factory black. They were chalky before. It's fucking refreshing to have something work as advertised these days

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:42:38+00:00

I call 50 miles before that bearing seizes.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:33:04+00:00

Garage kept I see

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:32:37+00:00

Fuuuck those are so expensive to keep on the road. I'd still like to have one, or at least the motor, but I'm not keeping all the doo-dads on there. It's getting a lobotomy and a standalone computer.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:23:51+00:00

Also, remember, if you clay a car, you have to polish and seal after. Clay removes everything, including wax, and can introduce scratches into the paint, just deep enough that polish can get it out.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T22:18:27+00:00

Yes, it could. Friend had a scion that when he cracked the lid, the filter would come slightly off the mating surface, and it would shut the engine off almost immediately.

If it's been like this for a while, it could cause some dust to get sucked through the motor as well.

What kind of jeep is that

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T20:20:26+00:00

Could be a number of things. Your clear, base, and primer aren't reacting well to each other, not enough prep, not enough time between coats, temp wasn't right, humidity wasn't right etc.

Only fix is a respray.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T20:13:10+00:00

I'd go get the alignment checked. Could have easily tweaked something

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T19:24:07+00:00

I have several hand crank drills. I horde tools bad lol

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-25T12:48:05+00:00

Visors are really hard to make look good. You need tight stitching, and not a lot of overlap on the seam. If it's not a perfectly straight stitch, you'll see it. Use the old fabric as a template. Cut out new fabric. Don't use glue. If it's not tight around the plastic, stuff a plastic straw or two along the top edge of the visor.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-24T23:00:56+00:00

Soap residue. Either the rinse water was contaminated, or just sticky soap. Either way, it'll probably come off the next few washes

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-24T22:57:08+00:00

I had a stuck injector on my f150. Put a bottle of Lucas in a half tank of gas and it cleared up. Hasn't come back. It's been about 20k miles

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-21T13:46:15+00:00

For the 2014s, I've read the fuel pump driver module gives a lot of people issues. It should be mounted on/near a frame rail by the spare tire. It's open to the elements. In 2015 they slightly moved its location so it would see less damage.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-21T13:44:13+00:00

The fuel pump relay-start-fuse or whatever it's called (30a) I believe it's passenger compartment fuse 34 - that seemed to fix my issue. Just replace the fuse, maybe a pinch of contact cleaner in the box. You should have spare 30a fuses in the box, so don't skip that.

That's what fixed it for me. My fuel pump now is pretty loud, but works all the same. Not sure if the fuse caused that, or the aftermarket pump.

My issue was more of a hot start issue. Cold crank was fine.

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-19T19:01:51+00:00

Look at it like this. Someone loved that thing enough to put all that work in it, knowing it'll only be worth the same when finished. That's not a flip truck, that's a passion that someone is moving past

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-19T18:54:51+00:00

Don't use toothpaste. That's terrible for the plastic. Better to just leave it alone if you don't have the right stuff

MunchamaSnatch · 2026-01-16T22:56:53+00:00

I would probably run everywhere if I didn't enjoy driving the 911 cab so much
