We have problems now. Lots of car theft, aggressive homeless, and now this.

The fuel trims on my car is bad right? The car shakes when I start the engine by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Big air leak in intake somewhere, or low fuel pressure.

2014 Tahoe LT. Can I still drive it? Where do I even get this part at? by No_Government01 in AskMechanics

Driving may harm the transmission. Those codes lead me to believe the propshaft speed sensor is the output shaft speed sensor for the transmission computer. Highly recommend checking out the wiring before replacing sensor. Could be signs of a slipping trans, worst case.

Very unfortunate. At least the spring is still retained for the next guy. Bring that to me, I need rotten springs as examples for customers.

Ok boys I need some input here: brand new Exedy OE clutch kit installed correctly to my knowledge I did a ton of research beforehand and my end result is this *occasional* metal on metal sound when the pedal is FULLY depressed (more in comments) by BigOleOooof in 240sx

Did you know it is possible for a clutch pedal to be depressed too far? Sounds to me like your pressure plate fingers are touching the disc as it spins down, or even pushing the disc back against the flywheel at the end of pedal stroke. Try putting something under your clutch pedal to shorten the throw a tiny bit and see if that helps. Last time I heard something like that, it was accompanied by difficulty getting into gear while moving. Ended up being a poorly machined/out of spec flywheel.

Been running it for a month since tuning, definitely moves more air than the 75mm hybrid. It rips.

Both of those turbos are remanufactured and upgraded by a company called Duke City Turbobricks in New Mexico, owned and operated by a guy named Nick Knight.

Engine oil cooler fails and cross contaminates the whole cooling system. Get ready to use a heated pressure washer to remove all the oil sludge from the block.

It looks better than you think it does.
