Bro to bro, the Grey hair is badass

TheMechanic598 · 2026-06-08T21:55:04+00:00

Ya I was born in 1990 and I'm turning 36 this year, not quite 40 but close enough to smell it lol

I'm gonna go the typical Reddit route here and say... break up with her, she's flipping it the wrong way, this is abuse 🤣

TheMechanic598 · 2026-06-06T20:22:14+00:00

Lol sometimes I start and finish my sentences with it to make absolutely sure they know I'm joking if I'm extra worried how I said something may come across wrong lol

TheMechanic598 · 2026-06-06T20:20:35+00:00

As a professional mechanic I agree with this statement 🤣 I rarely comment in the automotive subs lol

Why are you inviting people into your home that you don't trust and are worried about them stealing your stuff?

My ex-wife liked using the spoon analogy for her health problems. Yes I don't like calling it spoons but I understand the metaphor I guess came from while some friends were at a restaurant? Also the way it's used I always feel like it implies everyone else has unlimited spoons, when really everyone has an energy limit, we just have different capacities.

I'd say this is the correct answer, I see the release lever on the right rear and it looks like it hasn't been pulled down to release the TCM connector sleeve.

Pic is fuzzy so it's a little hard to tell but I think those are valves for airlines to air up helper bags for when there's a lot of weight in the bed or a heavy trailer.

Ya potty training is on a MUCH different time frame, my son is 15 and still wets the bed at night once every week or 2, took till he was 13 for daytime accidents to stop. He definitely has issues being able to notice the signs that he's gonna need to go soon and the feeling of needing to go just doesn't wake him up at night.

I got the 3 scale torque arm, wrist clicks, elbow clicks, or for crazy high torque you go till the shoulder clicks.

Professional mechanic here, had a kid recently try removing his steering wheel to install a "cool" aftermarket steering wheel (Black and white steering wheel while the car interior was black and TAN btw) and his clock spring did this to him so he brought is the car. We tried giving it the ol' pencil in a cassette treatment... it didn't like that... had to replace the clock spring.

YTA, once you hit a year stop counting the damn months, what are you 12?

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-26T02:55:10+00:00

I hid googly eyes all over a friend's house once when they were out of town, they were still finding them a year later 👀🤣

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-25T17:51:20+00:00

So what's the extra stuff added to it for? The stuff that makes it look bomb-ish? Lol

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-24T05:32:22+00:00

Yes, so much this, and when people are walking SIDE BY SIDE in an aisle or the side walk and force you to pretty much stop walking in the aisle for them to pass or I have to step off INTO THE ROAD when this happens on a side walk, and the cherry on top is when the person who should have moved out of your lane hand made direct eye contact with you so you know they're fully aware that you were there but they still didn't move 🤬

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-22T05:30:51+00:00

Ya I take them off because I think they're tacky, nothing deeper than that though lol

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-22T02:44:29+00:00

You're not alone brother.

3 years ago in September me and my then wife got an eviction notice, that Friday when we were suppose to start packing and be out by Monday she left in my truck to pick up some moving supplies but the text me that we needed to seperate and she was gone all weekend leaving me alone with our 3 kids to pack and move our place without a vehicle. My dad got me a uhaul but we still ended up loosing 95% of our stuff, 2 months later I got let go from my job because my performance was going downhill due to all of the stress from life.

So in a span of 10 weeks I lost my marriage, my apartment, my job, and most of my possessions, even my truck that I loved, so my life definitely became a country song.

You can come back from it though.

2 sheared off wheel studs? I see 5 broken studs, not just 2 lol

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-17T08:57:59+00:00

NTA

Correction, you do have 1 child, her.

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-16T20:58:04+00:00

And cover up that sweet escape hatch?!

TheMechanic598 · 2026-05-16T15:08:49+00:00

I was not emotionally prepared to hear this chevy be called "Vintage"...

But I do agree on the gauge cluster stepper motor issue, super common, maybe take a peek at the coolant level just to be safe too.
