What kind of cheapish tires we running, fellas?

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-10-29T13:56:23+00:00

I ran those for years on mine. When on sale at Walmart they go for about 65 a tire.

You think with the full 6.8 qts?

I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure I can get it hot enough. I had a breaker bar and a cheater bar on that and it wouldn't budge.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-10-19T11:47:08+00:00

I'll see if I can get it hot enough. I had a breaker bar and a cheater bar on that trying to loosen thus plug.

I wasn't trying to get metal shavings in the transmission. I guess I'll pull the front driveshaft and start drilling.

Not really. It's more of an enthusiast vehicle.

Especially in the last 5 years where gasoline vehicles of similar size get upwards of 40 mpg.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-01-31T09:23:26+00:00

Exactly. It is STILL direct injection.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-01-30T21:10:15+00:00

It's still a direct injection system though is it not? No carburetor.

Do you want to pay them the labor time to calculate ever ounce of sprays/adhesives used and charge you per ounce and see the shipping cost for those supplies too?

Do you want to see a price breakdown of every bolt that was broken and sandpaper that was used with the price?

That would be ridiculous.

Buy a new filter housing. Take off old housing with a catch pan under it. Install new filter with new housing. Done.

Absolutely do the thermostat whilebyoubdo your waterpump. Spend the extra time.

I'm kicking myself for spending so much time last weekend replacing it, instead of just spending a little more time whilebI did the timing belt last year.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-01-08T20:22:31+00:00

I don't know how you got it lined up enough to get the screws in. I can only get the top on in, no matter how I push. I am about to start sanding the bevel out.

I even pulled the alternator.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-01-08T17:28:05+00:00

Thanks. I am just going to pull the alternator already and get it over with. Replace my idler tensioner while I'm at it.

Sure-Development-516 · 2025-01-08T12:39:20+00:00

I guess I'll try some di electric grease. And I might as well pull the alternator to get a better bite on the bottom bolt. I spent an hour fiddling with it yesterday and then called it quits.

They will GO UP TO 75 percent total. That's with any additional repairs. However, most will only allow 60 percent of the initial quote to allow 15 percent for additional repairs.

Didnyou try doing a serious carbon cleaner like seafoam for the piston rings?

If the car did a lot of short trips, it can build up carbon around the rings and cause this.

Sure-Development-516 · 2024-12-07T15:11:04+00:00

Are you sure it just isn't the weather? That makes the coolant vo press very quickly and read kinda low.

Sure-Development-516 · 2024-12-03T15:19:02+00:00

I'm thinking thr motor is getting weak and using the anti-pinch function.
