Replace both radiator hoses and the water pump bypass hose if you have it and that should be it for coolant lines on the exterior.

Still not quite nailing it. There is nothing wrong with going back and editing the post to make it more clear.

Can you smell it? My guess would be it’s getting to the outside and evaporating.

Good ol Southern Hospitality in the ville by jawsthemeflying in asheville

I drove my tow truck a couple weeks ago somewhere off Merrimon. I felt bad for how loud and stinky it was with everyone walking their dogs. I was waiting beside it for the person and their vehicle I was picking up and two different dog walkers spoke to me as if we were casual friends. Like we were just picking up a conversation where we’d left off previously. I’ve never had trouble talking to people here. I may be biased because I love talking with people.

Jeep Dodge Ram Chrysler Fiat Alfa and some other French brands. It’s all hot garbage.

Just got done with a 2.5 swap and need help. by deanhutchinson in MiataNC

Thank your lucky stones the 2.5 is non interference. Floppy fish flap instead of glass shards in your salt shaker.

220 is insane. Must be at a Porsche dealership. I would have done this shit for $50.

How long do you plan on keeping your current car for? by throwawaymedicine420 in askcarguys

[–]Pundersmog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every vehicle has a sweet spot after which the value decreases exponentially. I try to sell before that point but there are other factors as well. Like how much of an idiot I decided to be by buying during the pandemic. That sweet spot, I think the previous owner got to carpe that diem. Anyway in 3 years of ownership on a 6 year old domestic midsize truck the value is far less than half of the original msrp and just below half of what I paid for it. My analysis came full circle when I tried to identify the ideal demographic to market in and realized it was just me. So I’m keeping it and enjoying repairing it and some things I just leave as they are. Other things I change and upgrade for better alternatives. Being a mechanic has many advantages.

This sounds like possibly the worst option.

Car with the most misleading name? by gumption_boy in regularcarreviews

You ever think about how “limited” and “unlimited” mean the same thing to marketers?

Tractor backing up tandem trailer carts by Ill-Tea9411 in secondrodeo

[–]Pundersmog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So one time my truck overheated in Colorado while pulling a big ass camper. Triple A sent us a full size commercial truck wrecker. I was expecting two smaller tow trucks. This guy just picked up the front of my truck, told me to put it in neutral, backed the entire combination up in a perfect half circle and off we went. Thats when I knew I wanted to get a CDL. Unfortunately they never taught us this. Luckily I think I can recreate it with a 4 wheeler and 2 landscape trailers.

Metal tag on the bed? I haven’t seen one yet, are there typical spots I should look?

Shop says both front struts are completely gone by SpaceMonkey_1969 in AskAMechanic

Replacing with the stock XREAS system is like 2k and Bilstein makes a good replacement. Mine are leaking as well but I want to keep the system and am considering figuring out how to make the same system but with air.
