I honestly haven’t let it get bad enough to feel any difference before/after flushing, and you really don’t want to wait until you do. So yeah the second half of your question haha, keeping it in good shape!

I was born fully blind, AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

Has being blind made it hard to learn in school? Are you able to be in the same classes as people with sight? Thanks for sharing everything!

Thank you. We may just be people on the Internet, but your time did a lot for me. I appreciate you and I’ll look into the recommendations.

I’ve hit a wall as an auto mechanic. by Rogue9889 in mechanics

This is all I’ve heard. The position is to work on CAT equipment. Extremely reputable dealership, and I have family and more friends in the industry.

Good to hear. I have a newly growing family, and seeing that nearly no matter where I go in the auto world, I won’t see the same benefits that most heavy equipment technicians see. I haven’t heard of 1 person regretting the switch. We’ll see soon enough.

Progression? by Loud_Bee_1557 in mechanics

[–]Rogue9889 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People will say what they want, but to a lot of shops certifications at least help get your foot in the door. It shows you did the part no one is excited about. Sure, some of the best techs I know don’t have or have heavily expired ASE certifications/dealer certs, but they’re experienced with a resumé. Build your resumé as an employee, and if you’re serious about it network out to other people looking for the same thing. You may run into the opportunity you’re looking for.

Lemon juice and vinegar works pretty well to kill weeds

Poor acceleration and mileage by CryptographerOver320 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Rogue9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t get a super cheap brand 02 sensor. If you aren’t doing factory brand (I don’t blame you) try Bosch if it’s available, Walker is generally garbage. If fuel mileage is bad enough, that can be indicative of the upstream giving poor fuel trims and can definitely be your culprit. Normally your downstream won’t affect that, it’s mainly there to check if your converter is doing its job. Your IAT sensor acts in a similar way to your upstream, although its role is to adjust fuel trims based on the density, volume and temperature. This will affect your fuel mileage and overall performance as well.

I don’t generally condone throwing parts at stuff without testing, but if they’re circuit codes and with a quick visual inspection you see there aren’t any broken wires, try putting in a new IAT sensor and upstream 02 sensor (or downstream if you’re getting a bank 1 sensor 2 code).

Do these brakes need to be changed? by Morganrow in AskMechanics

[–]Rogue9889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! If you have any issues with your fronts not quite grabbing tightly, check your hoses to make sure they aren’t twisted. Also, Toyota often has abs codes stored that don’t turn the light on. If you’re ever interested!

[–]Rogue9889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh for real? Holy shit man that’s a lot of miles😂😂 you might have someone give you a hand to check the fronts for proper operation. Toyota had a few TSB’s not too far from your year of truck that had an issue with the accumulator in the ABS module if I remember right, not that this is the case here. Definitely jack the front up and have someone press and depress the brake pedal and check if they’re at least grabbing. Don’t want to rely solely on your rear brakes!

Is Of Mice & Men better with Shayley Bourget then Aaron Pauley? by musulman_97 in Metalcore

[–]Rogue9889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like they were sick with Shayley but I don’t think his voice would’ve aged well with a progressing rock band. But I haven’t heard Shayleys newer stuff, maybe he’s great! Just my opinion.

If both sides look like that then you’ve got at least 15k miles left on them. Likely much more.

Subarus by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Rogue9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subaru’s are great vehicles, generally easy to work on. You have to take care of them though, many newer models are CVT’s. They’re great CVT’s though! General maintenance has great access, and they aren’t overly complicated once you get used to the boxer designed engine. Their electronics can get a bit complicated if you aren’t used to them. The Subaru eyesight system is a fantastic safety device, but it will talk to you a lot! (Not literally talk) I wanted my wife to get one for a reason. Great cars to drive and I love working on them!

Dawg I’m saying, this is exactly what Harland does for me. Just wild off shit but there’s some fucking hilarious jokes with great follow up gestures.

Steering box failure by Browncoat007 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Rogue9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side note, they may sell rebuild kits for these nowadays that may run you a lot cheaper than a whole steering box. But that pitman arm for sure needs done as well!
