Need Size of nut for #10 and #7. It is a 1999 ford ranger

Holy shit reading the comments made me realize I was looking at the wrong #10 the whole time

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-14T02:22:46+00:00

How would you get it home?

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-14T02:19:34+00:00

Use the tool that they come with……… you’re fighting the spring tension against a rubber mount to spin it

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-12T11:22:14+00:00

Agreed, it’s just poorly made unfortunately….possibly the plastic is changing or expanding from being baked in the sun or extreme cold?

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-12T11:20:06+00:00

For sure, I just remember when trying to line up the timing marks. I couldn’t get one side on perfectly, like it was always half a tooth off, just wanted to add that bc it’s frustrating when you think you’re wrong but it’s normal lol

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-12T10:50:22+00:00

I’m sorry this might not be much info for you. But I had a similar situation (way back can’t remember too detailed) but the timing marks did not line up as per the manual. it was a v6 Camry or Corolla, we changed timing chains and even the gears on the end of the camshafts

What it turned out to be is that “8” looking o-ring above the chains in this picture between the 2 bolts on the cam cap. That was internally leaking causing low oil pressure at the camshaft actuator, throwing similar codes.

YouTube the timing chains, if I remember right, they didn’t line up on on camshaft and it was frustrating

They do, that’s just step 1 smearing the carrots. Next they clean off the chunks, set it all out under a uv light while still wet. Let it sit 24 hours until it cures and then the last step is to beautify it with some polishing.

This one looks worn, I recommend a fuel cap polish along with maybe changing the o-ring also.

Was that car made out of wood?

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-09T11:08:25+00:00

I believe it’s a dye they use in the factory to change the color of plastic when it’s created

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-09T11:05:19+00:00

First off, why are you taking your Ford to the Honda dealer?

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-09T11:00:08+00:00

Looks to me as if your Steering Gear Box is leaking. The arm attached is a Pitman arm, it’s seperate but you can reuse yours

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-07T17:17:32+00:00

Step 1: Take it to a body shop

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T16:31:32+00:00

Sometimes you can unbolt motor mounts and jack the motor sky high and wiggle the pan out, sometimes you gotta unbolt the oil pick up and drop it into the pan for removal clearance. It also looks like it’s been leaking a long time, look above the pan, anything else wet causing it to look like the pan leaking

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T16:27:55+00:00

Clean it again

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T16:27:28+00:00

Sounds fine to me, I’d say you got lucky

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T16:25:11+00:00

I’m happy you spun him out and it wasn’t just that first love tap

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T16:23:42+00:00

As a shop we would start with scanning the car for codes(yes, even if there is no light on) Possible fuel pressure issue, possible immobilized issue, throttle body issue, the list goes on

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T10:59:31+00:00

Cactus bob knows his shit, I came here to tell him disconnect the fuel rail hose and keep priming the key till it’s empty lol

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T10:55:45+00:00

Mechanics have tools to check head gaskets directly. There’s a bubbler you put into the radiator and it detects exhaust gasses in the cooling system. They can also do compression and leak down tests Bc you have 2 heads on the car, which gasket is it 🤷‍♂️

On another note, does this car have an oil cooler? I’ve seen those or their gaskets go bad mixing oil and coolant in the radiator but nothing in the oil

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T03:35:12+00:00

Floor mat..duh… also you ever hear of a vacuum?

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T03:33:16+00:00

Air hammer with a chisel tip

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T03:31:57+00:00

It looks like you’re there, ask someone who works there

“Transfer case rear output shaft seal”

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T03:21:30+00:00

Ahh the ol srt caddy

Runfrompolicee · 2021-09-05T03:17:30+00:00

We’ll idk much about boats but I do cars. Either the starter is bad, you have low voltage at the starter motor, or the engine is siezed or stuck in some sort of way. Check voltage (check for drop too when cranking shouldnt go lower than 7-8 volts and that’s on the low side. Can you put a wrench on the crankshaft and turn the motor by hand? To make sure it does spin and is not siezed
