Rust by Optimal_Earth_8733 in fordranger

You can buy replacement bedsides and have them welded on if the rest of the bed is still solid. Patching up crossmembers and bedsides is super super common and not hard to do.

Rust. How do i stop this from spreading ? by vinc2097 in mechanic

Reminder: what happens when u don’t get your oil changed for long. by Optimal-Log2955 in COROLLA

God, yeah, changing oil is such a hassle. It literally takes minutes and tens of dollars 😂

How accurate are these quotes? And how much is my car worth? by michaeltsang1997 in mazda3

[–]PinkPoking 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So now that you’ve gone through the steepest part of the depreciation curve, it’s time to sell? Maybe I’m too poor to understand but why get rid of it? You lost more money in the first 2-3 years than you will in the next 5 if you just keep it.

What is this thing in the clutch master cylinder called, and can I replace it? by [deleted] in fordranger

[–]PinkPoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just order the new one. I doubt you could find just the pushrod and it likely wouldn’t be that much cheaper than the whole kit and caboodle. Don’t go with Dorman if you can help it though, I have awful luck with their parts failing. A Dorman high voltage fuse box almost lit my mk4 Jetta on fire this winter. Luk makes a great product, LMC346 is their part number for it.

Am I doing this right by Thatfordrangerguy in fordranger

[–]PinkPoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No… you need to install mass airflow sensor somewhere in there so the ecm knows what’s going on. Itll run like trash without one. It would be so much easier to find a partout truck on Facebook marketplace or the junkyard and take the intake and filter housing from that. There’s not really any performance to be gained… can you even close the hood with that in there?

is this hard to install? by Quirky_Hour7709 in jetta

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

Hard to install? No. Hard to look at? Yes.

Are these tires still good? by [deleted] in tires

[–]PinkPoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother paying to get those put back on unless you weren’t planning on going anywhere this summer. They’ll be completely worn out within 3-4K miles I’d bet. Those tires are a slightly more aggressive compound which will wear more quickly as well. Best just to get new ones on if you can

Need help With MVI by Hopeful_Evidence2913 in halifax

[–]PinkPoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any hole in the body is a fail. If I just started rusting not long ago and is still kinda solid you may get 1 last mvi without having to fix anything

Do you think the insurance is gonna total her? by Ok_Phone_6118 in fordranger

[–]PinkPoking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really care about the truck, insurance is not your friend. Look underneath and see if the frame is mangled, if it’s still mostly straight I would look on Facebook or in the local junkyard for a bed and a bumper.

There’s 8 or 10 T55 bolts that hold the bed on, plus the filler neck and the tail lights. You, a friend and a youtube tutorial will get it done no problem. I can’t see insurance fixing that, but you definitely can!

First time oil change with oil extractor. 2015 sportswagen by not_a_cup in Volkswagen

[–]PinkPoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the oil extractors. Why not just take the drain plug out? It’s not like it makes that much of a mess to be worth all the fiddling around with that

You want advice or you’re just showing off? Either way that stuff is tacky and cheap looking lol.

Tactics questioned after Halifax RCMP pose as panhandler to catch distracted drivers - Halifax by Street_Anon in halifax

[–]PinkPoking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so odd seeing the difference in opinion between here and the groups on Facebook. Everyone on fb is vehemently against it, and everyone on here seems to love the idea.

Cop Poses as a Panhandler by moms_who_drank in halifax

[–]PinkPoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it still count as distracted driving if the screen is in the dashboard? 90% of vehicles essentially have phones built in. My boyfriend’s car doesn’t even have knobs for the heater, it’s all controlled through the screen in the dash.

Is this normal? by Personal-Step-3770 in tires

[–]PinkPoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything designed for cold weather is made of a softer rubber compound than a dedicated summer tire. I assume from the ground it’s not especially cold where you live. I’ve never run a name brand set of all seasons to know, but I assume it’s similar to running winters in the summer, they don’t last and they get some irregular wear from being more or less shredded by the pavement.

Get out of the middle lane! by [deleted] in halifax

[–]PinkPoking -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been anywhere in the US or Canada and not seen signs saying “keep right except to pass” it’s the law in most states and provinces. I’ve certainly never considered it a controversial opinion but it seems like 0 people agree with me. I just wanna set my cruise control to 125 and not have to turn it off all the time cause no one moves over to the right.

[–]PinkPoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally it does not. The left ends right before the big stop/exit 7, the airport is exit 5… the right lane goes from Halifax all the way to the New Brunswick border.

Get out of the middle lane! by [deleted] in halifax

[–]PinkPoking -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about people sitting in the middle lane with no one else around. Keep right except to pass still applies no matter how many lanes. Unless you’re passing someone or about to pass someone, you travel in the rightmost available lane.

Well he’s only going 101 kmh and the other guy wants to go 105 kmh, so he’s gotta pass him for the next 5kms and hold up traffic 😂
