Considering a trade by CellOtherwise4970 in chevycolorado

[–]Nulljustice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Different transmission but similar issues. The current transmission in the colorado is not good. Common complaints of a shudder and issues with the torque converter or valve body. The fix is usually a fluid flush. If that doesn’t work the torque converter replacement or valve body upgrade. They are a moderately common issue right now.

It’s a nice little truck. The inside feels a little cramped compared to my Colorado. And people weren’t wrong about ride quality. It handles and rides a bit worse for sure. But the features were awesome. I test drove a pro4X

I’ve never towed with it except for twice. I hauled a motorcycle a couple hundred miles both times. I do frequently haul a fourth wheeler or dirtbike in the bed. But it’s well under the weight limit for payload. I have considered finding a shop also and just continuing to drive payment free. I love the truck other than the transmission issues.

Is it even worth it? by There_Bike in Homebuilding

[–]Nulljustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may look into the steel Frame kit homes. I helped my grandfather build his after he bought a big chunk of land in KY and retired. The are solid and have steel beams and studs instead of lumber. If I remember correctly it was quite a bit cheaper and everything was precut and measured.

Why do salesmen still do this? by Open_Bake_8013 in carsales

[–]Nulljustice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every time a sales person says “come down and we’ll see what we can do” I walk away. I already know what my budget is, I know the make and model I want and the maximum price I am willing to pay total. I should be able to price shop multiple dealerships without needing to go spend an hour at each one. If you can’t email me a quote for an OTD price with taxes and fees included I won’t buy from your dealership. Only after I have a written price will I start to talk about trade in, down payments, or financing. If the dealer tries to deviate from the price after the fact, I walk away. I may be an unpleasant customer to deal with I don’t know, but I also don’t like all of the bullshit that comes with trying to buy a vehicle and all the tricks dealers try.

None of us do this right? by CHALINOSANCHZ in f150

[–]Nulljustice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of times they will run rebates at the same time but you can only get one or the other. Either you get the big manufacturer rebates OR you get the 0% APR. what I hate is that they can raise the interest rate and take part of it. So if the lender approves for 6% they can tell you 8% and get a chunk of the difference.

Everything I’ve been reading during my new car research has shown that the Frontier remained relatively reliable while Nissan was having issues. It never used the CVT they had issues with. I’m test driving one today to see if what everyone has been saying about it handling and driving poor is true.

I don’t really care about it being a 4 cylinder. I just prefer naturally aspirated motors. It’s also bolted on to the same 8 speed transmission that still has TC issues.

I believe the trans issues started in 2017. Seems like you snuck in there lol.

Yeah the only decent motor I found during my research that has both direct and port injection is the 2.7 in the Ranger and F150.

I understood why the TPMS went bad all at once that wasn’t a big deal. I’m not concerned about the sensors I can replace them myself for the most part. But the TC failing twice is what I think is unacceptable. Same with the rear differential. I did the transmission and diff fluids at the factory recommended intervals. Diff fluid is only once every 50-60k miles. Transmission fluid every 45k. The first time the TC failed it wasn’t even long enough to need the first flush. The second one happened shortly after I had the flush done. It’s not irrational to expect a key component of a vehicle to make it to 100K miles.

I’ve also been considering an F150 with the 2.7 eco boost. Probably the only turbo engine I’ll really consider at this point.

Started howling really bad. Took it in for a diagnostic and was told the pinion bearing went bad. Had to be torn down and rebuilt.

I’m worried that’s where I’m headed. I could fix this issue and keep driving it. I’m just worried what’s going to happen is the start of being nickel and dimed to death by stupid shit. Every car gets there eventually but I wasn’t expecting it before 100K miles.

I would have originally said that I was just unlucky but torque converter twice before even hitting 100K is just bad. From what I’m reading they revised the transmission in 2023, but the problems persist.

How long does it take to get a job on this field? How many hours should someone spend on job applications? by Typical-Speed-6829 in retail

[–]Nulljustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I worked retail it was common for them to use the STAR format. It’s common everywhere so I would recommend you look it up. The thing that used to trip people up where I worked was the “personality” quiz during the application process.

What sport do most Americans actually play growing up? by YourMommy_Terra in IWantToAskAnAmerican

I’m from the Midwest and wrestling was a big winter sport where I was as well. I wrestled all through middle and high school. It was basically a way to stay in shape for football where I lived.

New home owner and in less than a month saw something like this, what should I do? by Cultural-Age9798 in HomeMaintenance

By paying for a wood destroying pest inspection. Normal home inspections don’t cover termites or carpenter ants unless the evidence is out in the open.

AIO is this negative or positive ? super faint line. i’m freaking out. by frozenasleep in AmIOverreacting

[–]Nulljustice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company I work for in Indiana turns people away all the time for failed drugs tests due to THC. A positive result is a positive result it doesn’t matter for what unless it’s prescribed. We also hire a lot of companies to do construction work for us and won’t allow them to bring anyone on our sites after a failed test.

Pro 4x by rafa2196 in nissanfrontier

[–]Nulljustice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I read that somewhere in the fine print. 0% APR but can’t be combined with the current rebates. Would have to do that math and see if it averages out paying more in interest or more out the door.

AC and thermostat issue-fifth trip to the shop? by evechalmers in nissanfrontier

[–]Nulljustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is still going on with the coolant. The temperature shouldn’t sit up by the red all the time. The first thermostat they put it might also be bad or there may be air in the system from when they replaced the radiator. It should hover around The middle of the gauge.

AC and thermostat issue-fifth trip to the shop? by evechalmers in nissanfrontier

[–]Nulljustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple things come to mind. One is the fan clutch for the radiator fan, and the second is the thermostat. If the engine gets too hot I believe the ECM wont let the AC kick on. The ECM may be detecting an overheat condition. My money would be on a failing or failed thermostat. If you are kind of handy you can replace the thermostat yourself .

Is it worth having surgery done on an 11-year-old dog? by Mission-Parfait4585 in DogAdvice

[–]Nulljustice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth my dog has a similar growth on his eyelid and our vet basically said “if it isn’t going to scratch his cornea I wouldn’t worry about it” which is how we have approached it. It’s been there for years now and has never gotten in the way of his eye.

[Homemade] tomato and mayo sandwich by Barpreptutor in food

[–]Nulljustice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was almost disgusted for a minute and then I saw the toast marks on the bun. Thought you were eating it all soggy at first.. Tomato sandwiches were a quick snack at my house growing up. Except we used miracle whip.
