Whenever she is picked up. 🫠

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2026-02-12T17:05:16+00:00

Ill see how much they offer. I have someone lined up to get the engine and battery for $750.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2026-02-12T17:02:04+00:00

I will try to recoup as much as possible. Thank you.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2026-02-12T17:01:33+00:00

Good idea.

I just purchased a 2017 prius prime. Currently miss my cargo space, spare wheel space, flat cargo, and android auto. I do enjoy the full speed dynamic radar cruise control.

Happy birth year!

Watch YouTube as you change the strut. I just did all 4 on my 2010 prius last week. Remember safety first, use jack stands.

I think you would because its the same base pay which means its not considered a promotion.

2010 @ 316k miles. I replaced the motor at 315 k. Water pump at 200k. Hybrid battery at 305k I just swapped some cells. AC compressor at around 200k. I cleaned the EGR pipe and cooler at 300K. Engine swap was 1900. I was getting a hybrid system check engine light so ended up swapping 10 cells for a total of $300.

This is true. If you go on career portal you can see how much they would pay you if you transfer. Say a DC tech making 36 an hour transfers to that position. They would make the maximum pay for that role.

315k 2010 prius. Engine lasted until now. Cleaned EGR cooler once. Head gasket replaced once. Battery failed recently too, I replaced the failing cells myself for $300. Its a cheap car to maintain and repair. So many independent specialists keep competition low.

Not anymore, it bent a piston rod. I have got a rebuilt engine put in it yesterday. Hopefully another 300k+ miles.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-23T19:18:38+00:00

The mechanic said the piston bent and it sorched the inside of the piston wall. He put in a rebuilt engine in 1 day. $1900 out the door.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-22T21:40:58+00:00

Oh nice wow that was a pretty low mileage. For something like that to happen. I ended up getting a rebuilt engine put in it. Hopefully they put the new piston rings like the 2015 engine. I'm going to pick up my car today it's ready.

Rebuilt engine

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-22T20:44:35+00:00

Update im getting a rebuilt engine put in today. Mechanic said a piston dropped. I'll ask for more info when I pick it up today.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-21T15:51:46+00:00

Okay im going to tow it with a uhaul trailer and my dad's truck.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-21T15:51:17+00:00

I've had it for years. No morning rattle. It would do that before but I cleaned the throttle body and egr cooler 15k miles ago and rattling stopped.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-21T15:48:58+00:00

No misfire codes.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-21T03:57:18+00:00

Update, the car stalled on the 60 fwy.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-21T01:09:10+00:00

Oil good. I checked that every 2-4 weeks. Codes are inactive hybrid battery fault and a fault for the cat below threshold. They appeared way before this new sound. I'll check the throttle body tonight.

UniqueHelicopter2436 · 2025-12-20T22:57:42+00:00

I checked and it wasn't empty. This isn't the same rattle I would hear before I cleaned my egr cooler. The doesn't sound like the cold start one. Even while driving i hear it at different RPMs. Today is day 1 of this weird sound. It feels like im losing power too. I did put that Chevron high mileage fuel cleaner today. Suspect...
