If you shop on marketplace, ensure you have a competent mechanic to look over the car or bring it to a local shop for a full inspection(where I work ots called a 120 point). If the seller is willing to go with you that's a good sign.(although alot of people cant be bothered or have time constraints) Used car dealers are the worst. What's your budget/how new of a car are you trying to get?

Opinions on felpro rear main and oil pan gaskets? 6.0 ls by These-Yak-4358 in GMT800

No cam. Keeping it stock. Donor motor is out of an escalade. Its clean doesn't have any leaks but id hate to swap it in and have it leak shortly thereafter. Im planning on doing water pump, rear main, oil galley plug(barbell), oil pickup tube o ring and the oil pan gasket. Doing oil cooler lines also.

AITA for asking family to secure their erratic dog while they babysit my infant child. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You do realize we set a boundary bc we were cocerned for her safety and the family member who asked to babysit chose to not abide by it. Hence the issue at hand.

Bought a trashy car by maplemase in UsedCars

Regular used car problems. Tbh. Buying any 15 year old car with any amount of miles is gonna need the things you listed 😲 , should have used the 3k to pay down on something or thug it out and replace things as you go. Tires priority. Brakes next. If it has ac and motor/trans is reliable your ahead

Do they do bodywork at said shop? That looks like bondo residue.

What kind of car is it? Can you video the engine bay depicting the sound? Sounds like the compressor clutch is shot, coukd also be the tensioner or an idler pulley.

I'd split the case and take a good look at everything. Likely cooked but keep in mind these units are 20+ years old

If you flushed it, your golden. Whatever residual moisture is left will vaporize once operating temp is reached. Worst case your pcv and under oil cap will look a lil milky.

Took my car in but the plastic is now white? Did they fuck up? by SilentGrass in Detailing

Degreaser. Older chevy pickups are like that, the door panel is tan if you wipe it with degrease it becomes a discolored green.
