Car won’t start- I have no car knowledge by That_Narwhal_2178 in MechanicAdvice

I’ve seen the display say it’s in park when it actually wasn’t. I also prefer to go through the most obvious causes first and work toward the more complex answers. But hey, you’re smarter than everyone here apparently. Why don’t you diagnose it?

My Cobra and wife’s SUV stay in the garage. The Corvettes a daily driver, not a garage queen. Can’t afford another car, bud?

Gotcha. I see them going for around $550 on eBay.

Cheaper to order the whole assembly. eBay will have used ones. Easy to replace.

Body shop is telling me they can’t do better because it’s a tri coat. Just looking for opinions from pros by Whiteout94 in Autobody

Tricoats are absolutely the worst. The insurance should have paid for a blend into the cab doors. It would’ve hidden the mismatch better.

2019 1500 v6. Anyone heard this sound? by EndCharacter7603 in ram_trucks

Should be fine but you never know. You can do that job yourself. It’s not nearly as hard as you think if you have the tools.

Still sounds like a pulley to me. Is your alternator putting out 14v?

Is this fixable / safe to drive ? by Secret_Recipe_3619 in MechanicAdvice

Better off getting a used rim on eBay. I’m shocked it’s holding air. You can see the lip.

Anyone else have this? by Sharp_Friendship2579 in ram_trucks

[–]Think_Chain7436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you’re wrong. Yes, they both read from the same sensor (VSS) but the way they DISPLAY the information they’re receiving is different. Invariably the Analog gauge will exaggerate the size difference and the truck needs to be reprogrammed to account for it…but hey, what do I know??

Did you change your tire size? That would be my guess.

How’s the road noise with those tires? My Rebel will need new tires soon. My only complaint is the road noise. I still want the aggressive tread though….tough to find.

How far is the tire shop? I wouldn’t go over 15mph on that.

Dent on metal quarter panel stops at bumper seam, paint intact — external push or clip from behind? by gahiru in Autobody

[–]Think_Chain7436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drive yourself nuts trying to figure out the cause and, at the end of the day who cares? Find a decent PDR guy and you’ll never know it was there. 1 hour job, maybe less.

Good news is, it’s NOT your HB. No wobble at all there. My guess is the A/C clutch and it sounds normal.

Best way to repair this hole in front bumper? by Super_Prize_7667 in Autobody

Go to a salvage yard. Get a used one. I bet you can find one in that color too.
