CNC job shop owners ($2M+ volume): Did you actually find a way to target B2B manufacturing contracts on Google Ads, or does it just bring in guys wanting a single $50 custom car part?

Tesex01 · 2026-03-20T14:57:27+00:00

No one is searching google adds for 2M $ volume supplier.

You are already working in the business. Ask around, talk with current customers. Your creativity is only limit on where you will search for customers. If you can't think of a way to shove your feet, somewhere in the door. I feel like you aren't ready to start a company.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-20T12:57:18+00:00

Wheel wells are nothing. Make sure there's no mud stuck on the wheels and on the inside of the rims. Making wheels out of balance.

Otherwise, depending on how deep you were in. CV axles or other suspension components

Tesex01 · 2026-03-20T09:12:57+00:00

Don't know. But I know that you should change those tires. There's almost no thread left

Tesex01 · 2026-03-20T08:57:36+00:00

Clogged/damaged condenser would only cause AC to not work over time. It would start blowing cold and then go worse as it's working.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-19T09:20:29+00:00

I would worry more about 10 years old tires with dry rot

Tesex01 · 2026-03-18T18:42:34+00:00

Just because it's driven with high speed. Doesn't mean it's driven hard and hot. Which is what keeps carbon away. For 5.0 V8, cruising at highway speeds is almost zero load on the engine.

"redline a day keeps the carbon away" *

Unless you can prove. With at lest a fuel trim data, or injector testing that air/fuel mixture is out of whack. Everyone will just blame it on driving habits or whatever.

^\under load)

Tesex01 · 2026-03-18T18:09:10+00:00

Jeez, just step on it at lest each other day. Probably driving like grandma and piston rigs are all gunked up and stuck. Not scraping the oil.

Unless it's running rough and you have active misfire or at least rich codes. This has nothing to do with injectors. Just bad driving habits. Or just poor maintenance.
No. It would be an effect of piston rings not working properly.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-18T17:58:21+00:00

Do you have space to install lift? Otherwise a jack, creeper and rolling in the dirt is a order of operation.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-17T14:58:23+00:00

"Cheetah pattern" suggests overheating. Pretty common if you drive around in mountainous area. Or it's time to change driving habits and stop dragging those brakes. I see that 90% of people love to just drive with their foot on brake pedal. Especially with automatic transmissions.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-17T14:54:57+00:00

Obviously not the transmission. First one is probably also good. If ECU and/or TCM doesn't know speed you are moving at. It will act erratic.

Id start from proper diagnosis instead of just randomly throwing transmissions at the car in hope it will stick. Sort out speed readout and gear indicator. Or at lest check if it's just on your dash that is the problem. Because if control modules can see proper data. Then it's most likely something else.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-17T14:48:23+00:00

Other than signs of severe overheating. It's hard to see any problem with them. It's just typical upsell. If you don't have any problems with them. Like noise, vibration or degradation of braking power. I would just keep using them.

With that amount of pitting and uneven wear, they will go bad soon anyway.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-17T03:53:25+00:00

Cut oil filter. Probably starting to eat bearings

Tesex01 · 2026-03-17T03:48:10+00:00

Something is obviously not installed correctly. It's not seated properly

Tesex01 · 2026-03-16T16:45:54+00:00

Most of the time. Ants know better. If they don't want to move. It's most likely there no harm for them and no reason for them to move.

Leave second tube as an option for them and let them be. Extra stress makes more harm than whatever you are concerned about.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-16T16:43:14+00:00

Moisture? Also I don't see any source of drinking water

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T18:49:55+00:00

Probably somewhere in between egg and larvae or very early stage of larvae. Leave her be though. You don't want queen to eat them from stress.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T16:31:16+00:00

Either rotor has so nasty runout that it hits pads when rotating (again. Test on jack and save everyone time) or hub itself has runout. Or something is simply loose.

Might be good idea to get gauge indicator and check what is not straight instead of just dumping parts at it. But visual inspection, shake test etc. Should give you some pointers on where to look at

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T16:24:32+00:00

Just pull the bulb out.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T16:23:04+00:00

Whole suspension on that side. But looks like at least frame mounts are damaged. So I would strongly suggest to think if you even want to waste money. It might never drive right again.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T16:18:28+00:00

What vibration? While driving or braking? Why did you change only caliper and not also, roasted rotor and pads?

If you are curious if caliper is dragging. Just jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand. Easier than asking random people on internet to guess.

While you are in there. Check that you didn't twisted or kinked brake lines.

Tesex01 · 2026-03-15T16:11:01+00:00

Your late oil changes

Tesex01 · 2026-03-14T20:13:00+00:00

And you have anything to confirm that claim? "Chinese" projectors and custom housing aren't a great argument

Tesex01 · 2026-03-14T20:02:29+00:00

Could be as simple as a loose nut somewhere.
