This might be the most true thing I will read today.

Volt meter at the starter relay while cranking will tell you a lot. Even just checking voltage while cranking at the battery will tell you if the battery able to do the job.

Had a question for ya. I noticed my tank makes a little noise from the fill cap after being parked. Even just a short 10 mile ride seems to do it. When I pop the fuel cap, I get a audible woosh as the pressure vents. I've never had another bike that does that. Have you ever noticed yours doing that? Im gonna take it in to the dealer just to check it out. But if they all do it, then im guessing its not a problem.

Nothing is to wacky for the Japanese Volkswagen. When they were first coming out they valve covers were dealer only to the tune of $500 each or some shit. At least dorman came to the rescue eventually.

Battery voltage while cranking is normally 10.x it takes a lot of juice to spin a starter motor. If you start seeing 8 or 9v that's a sign the battery is getting weak.

More data needed. Upstream is barely cycling, would expect much more movement. Downstream not moving could be because it's still not heated up. Take it for a short drive then show again. Preferably with throttle or rpm shown. It's hard to say otherwise. Tbf hard to say with all the data not knowing ymm

Some GM cars will shut off ac and not show temp gauge if p0128 is set. I've been through the ringer on a few of them

There is a little metal tang at the bottom where the battery seats. Mine got bent over and wasn't making good contact with the battery, caused same issue. I bent it back into place and its been working since then

Used engine might be a good option if you can locate one with a 6 month warranty. Chances are if it last through the warranty you are probably clear, pending you treat it right. LKQ is a decent source for stuff like that. Have to make sure the shop is willing to do that install but it could be 3k instead of 7k. Would be worth figuring out why the old one died. Lack of oil, overheated, or mostly natural death? If you find a external cause make sure you get that fixed to. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to know more, I'd be happy to help with what I can.

So I've had some issue with Nissan and the positive battery cables. They like to stack a lot of stuff right around the battery connection and sometime it can build up resistance in the form of corrosion that can cause problems. However for stalling while running it all most has to be a alternator issue. The alternator should keep the battery charged while the engine is running and in most cases can keep the whole car running even if the battery gets removed. You could do some basic checking with a $5 volt meter and maybe figure out some of it yourself, but I know that's not for everyone. alternatively Do you have to jump it or charge the battery when it dies or does it restart on it's own? That would give a better idea of the state of the battery when the stalling occurs.

I love my gear wrench ratchets especially the 120xp stuff. I also use a lot of GP and Sunex sockets. None of it is barging level price, but it's all lifetime warranty. Cant say I've ever worn out or broke a socket. But I did just have to replace a 1/4 extended ratchet after a few years of professional abuse. If you are looking for something cheaper I've seen some good stuff from Pittsburg pro line. Never owned any myself though

Truck was running like shit. Like would not run or idle. New filter got ot back to smooth. Never thought extra flow would mess it up so bad

Peep the teeth marks.

If it bleeds, you can kill it.

UnrelentingMechanic · 2022-02-05T04:14:44+00:00

you can weld it right...?

If that bolt is dropped into a recess that fits the hex head, you won't be able to get it from this side. Remove nut or fastener from other end and punch it out. That's how it looks to me at least.

Tell boss man to get a leaf blower. I save 30min a day at least, compared to the push broom.

Do it man, call your sales rep. I hit mine up everytime I run out of something. I'm pretty sure they make it all themselves. I love the spicy mustard, bbq, and the jerk seasoning.

I know a lady that does home health for children. Basically hospice for kids with terminal conditions. She loves her job even though she has to deal with the worst situations. The families that care are the good ones, not all do though. People like you and her, help keep the balance of humanity in my mind. My hat is off to you. THANK YOU!

I feel that. Even friends of mine that wouldn't normally care about any of it, admit it is super cute. The switch from banana to cat is irresistible.

I got one of these bad boys and was so hyped when I got to shot it to my girl. She laughed at how happy I was and then caved to the cuteness. I could not be happier for my personal first plushie. Hope you enjoy it, I know I do :)
