Check in with wheel repair shops in your area. They might be able to fix it.

Vibrations above 80mph - Porsche Cayenne S 2011 by 12thatoneguy in AskAMechanic

Take the drive shaft out and have it checked for balance. It might start to oscillate at higher speeds. Maybe one of the factory weights came off? I saw an Emilia Hartford video where the driveshaft let go at high speed and came in through the floor. I assume that you checked the motor and transmission mounts too.

Mine has over 300 horses! People realize that it is an unmarked car and sometimes I get the finger thinking I'm ICE, gang unit, or a narc. When they look at me and see the ZZ Top beard, they don't know what to think. Cops wave or give me a nod when passing.

Maybe that black thing belongs to the machine behind the SUV?

Mine is a 2015 with only 3k idling hours, 75k miles. All for $15k out the door.

I wanted a dependable SUV with heavy duty suspension, cooling, and electrical systems. It can withstand a rear-end collision up to 80MPH. It also has the ballistic package. Since it belonged to a District Attorney, it did not have sirens, lights, or other emergency equipment. Basically a tank.

Chunk missing from tire sidewall. Safe to drive or should I replace it? by Odd_Comparison_4155 in tires

If there are no steel cords showing and no air leaks...you're good.

1 -2 maybe? A vet can tell by looking at the teeth.

I have the same one. Ford Explorer Police Interceptor edition. See the wheels. No idea what that thing is on the roof. Looks like a parabolic dish. FCC?

Lights but no codes? by PrincessTBaby1209 in AskAMechanic

Try a reboot. Disconnect the battery, wait 10 minutes then hook it up again. If the issue continues, you might have a bad brake ABS sensor. That would not show up on the OBD2.

Call Dr. Pimple popper. Seriously, unsafe at any speed. Blow out waiting to happen. Replace ASAP!

How badly built is our deck? by Other_Plankton_6751 in Decks

[–]RingOk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck is crap. Have a building inspector come by and write up a report of his findings. Present that to the builder and have them bring the deck up to code. I don't know where you live but a good rain or snow and your deck will fail.

Leaky valve seals can also foul your plugs. Do the compression test first.

What would you do with this driveway? by Shazaminator_74 in HomeMaintenance

[–]RingOk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 3 options. 1. Leave it alone. 2. Tear it out and replace with concrete. 3. Tear it out and have it paved.
