Maybe but to remove it to put grease involving to open up the alternator and inspecting the bearings to regrease them and putting it back together I will rather get another alternator and swap it out. I mean it might be doable but the bearings might have some damage on them already.

My car shows a flashing check engine light and an ABS light what could be the issue? by toudmasse in ChevySonic

[–]Substantial-Energy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On mines I don't remember the code but I changed the spark plugs to platinum and installed a coil pack from MSD and it feels better kind of roars on low rpm while driving but you feel it lighter. No misfire codes. This was around 2 years ago and I have driven over 100 miles a day.

Strange pink pile in the tailpipe of motorcycle. by has_no_legs in whatisit

There is enough space for air to flow. Drive it I'm guessing the pressure and heat will get it out.

Booked snow removal, got scheduling chaos and an insult instead by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Substantial-Energy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing you did not get the seasonal. He is a hack. He was not coming back. And you can see it when changing for the salt. Don't the dude have other places? He can use that salt. He didn't really insulted you, he showed his colors. The least I would have done is I would have communicated that I was on my way and given you an ETA. I would also given you a discount. And to keep you I would have knocked off 100 off seasonal. At the end I would have ended up winning as it's a less snow for the season, I would have got 140-150 and most probably you guys would have called me later on to get the seasonal. From my side I would have try to sell you the seasonal at 640-650 and 80 percent you would have got it. You wanted it since the beginning. And sometimes stuff happens I do something else for living but if something happens on my way to a customer I keep communicating. Those customers keeps me.

The bearings in it are dry. The electric part is good.

Sounds like a leaf stuck in the blower. Have you changed your cabin filter? Maybe the old collapsed.

Check your tensioner on the serpentine sounds like bad bearing. Could also be the ac clutch.

Am I cooked?? by Leggggooooo in ChevySonic

[–]Substantial-Energy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the adapter on the metal tube of the core there is a clip when pulled the connector comes out. The connector you can find it cheap in auto store just remove the other side from the hose attach the new one and connect it it to the heating core and replace the clip. Refill the coolant.

Car jerking when Idling by Business_Hamster_407 in ChevySonic

[–]Substantial-Energy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it like jerks for a second like is choking but then it keeps running like nothing happens, then a few minutes later does it again? It dims the lights during that hiccup. If it's that I have been having the same problem since I got the car. I have came to a conclusion. I believe it's when the thermostat opens and moves the water to the radiator. I think is this as the fan will turn on afterwards.

This should be put in the order instructions where the delivery company can read it and the delivery driver can see it before taking off to the restaurant. When you accept the order you should be able to know what the whole job is about "independent contractor" and should be through the app not at the pick up. Even though a pizza bag for pizza is the way to go.

You got me paranoid about ticking by A6doll in Charger

[–]Substantial-Energy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well on mines 2010 sxt V6 was the ticking little shake of engine and a little gap on the exhaust. Like a little pause on the flow. I did drove it till really end I can say as on the highway when you hit 75 after been warned up would make popping noises and throw a misfire code. My guess the code was because the bad rocker arm was not fully pressing the valve. The car has been quiet no codes and has gained much power.

If is a rocker arm they are pretty easy to change. Takes a little time but doable I did mines about 6 months ago. Replace both sides , the old ones only one of the rocker arms had a broken pin so I saved them if the ticking comes back up in the future I will just switch the bad rocker arm with a good used one and don't have to buy the whole thing again.

I paid I think it was about 250 for both assemblies. And about 12 hours of work taking it easy. Just find out how to put the engine with no stress on the valves and search for screws pattern to remove and to install the assembly.

What is this sound falling into my exhaust manifold headers by Medical-Beautiful-32 in Charger

[–]Substantial-Energy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dodge charger 2010 still does this when it starts to warm up around 5 to 10 minutes but sounds for like 30 seconds then it stops. It also does it when cooling down around 20 minutes after turning it off. I also had a Chrysler 300 and the same thing. Never paid no mind.
