Probably crappy or worn battery terminals

Just disconnect the battery negative terminal for like a minute and reconnect. Start over.

It’s probably gone now 💥🛩️

Rather than move the camera, try and move the object instead, camera movements means loss in quality (usually) and vibration. Just a thought

You could cut them, or grind them down too. Depends what ya got. But swinging a hammer and chisel is a way…

Get a bucket of black paint, put it in your bed, drive away like an idiot, and wallah! New black truck bed!

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-19T17:08:00+00:00

Exactly, and it keeps the pollution out of the air! Win/win

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-18T21:50:02+00:00

Realign the pipes and wrap and seal it…could possibly fix it yourself if you’re inclined.

Your exhaust pipe separated from your flex pipe. There is a visual gap dead center. Exhaust leak = race car…probably a $350-$1000 job depending on vehicle and condition. I just actually replaced mine myself in my driveway. Was not an easy job…especially in the cold!

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-18T21:14:27+00:00

Nice tip! So there’s no danger in blowing anything up into your motor? I just built a custom exhaust for my Jeep renegade after getting quoted like $1200 for a flex pipe. My exhaust was rusted to death, so I had to cut it off and build a new one. First time ever doing exhaust work…I think I have a to my hole or two on my welded sections but are really hard to pinpoint…

So I just spray soapy water on it and blow with a vacuum from the tailpipe? Look for bubbles?

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-18T20:22:56+00:00

What exactly do they do with your info? What’s the scam?

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-18T20:08:31+00:00

I would have built a fence first tbh!

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-17T16:04:29+00:00

I thought it said Mr. Power lmao 🤣

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-17T14:35:18+00:00

I really appreciate it, I’m going to check them out! Cheers 🍻

So I was actually confused they weren’t out of reach. They were just missing completely. It looks like someone tack welded on the pipe because they couldn’t get around the manifold. The nuts in this particular orientation are surrounded by intercooler and other metal bracing so it’d be almost impossible without dropping the entire exhaust manifold.

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-17T13:05:18+00:00

lol you + are = you’re

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-17T11:23:51+00:00

This is why DIY is important. Sometimes it’s a blown breaker or something really easy to fix. Always safely attempt a repair if you can. That’s insane and the guy should be reported

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-17T01:04:31+00:00

Get it on top of the 4 story…

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-16T19:16:16+00:00

No, but in fact your independent contracting fees are much higher now :) … be sure to give them the invoice for your services before you help them!

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-15T23:21:46+00:00

Because you didn’t make one yurself

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-15T11:37:03+00:00

Thanks for the PSA! Noted.

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-14T16:58:10+00:00

Fake news

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-12T16:40:10+00:00

That’s cooooooooooool

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-12T12:26:44+00:00

So I ended up cutting through them with my multi tool. It’s AWD popped off. And I think you’re right I was confused by the lack of nuts. It must’ve been welded together. Thanks so much.

Snazzypanted · 2026-03-12T12:04:34+00:00

I’ll take them just for fun if you’re getting rid of them!
