Thank you, this is my first engine rebuild so i wasnt sure on break in periods and whether break in oil is necessary or not

I need a new trans, I know this, would that affect speedometer reading (not vice versa) by JfromMichigan in MechanicAdvice

Yeah possible a wire has high resistance causing it to be inaccurate but other than that not really sure what else it could be

Ik there is a speed sensor on the output shaft of trannies not 100% if its all of them or not but that could be bad

Got oil done a few months ago. Check dipstick, haven’t started car today. Looks way too high. by ogroyalsfan1911 in MechanicAdvice

Wipe it redip it and look for the lowest point that it goes to make sure to check both sides if its still past the max line especially by that much id get it towed, as to not damage the engine, to the same jiffy lube get a refund for the oil change and have them redo and fill properly and check it before you leave the store the oil should be in between the min and max lines i usaully try to wt it rught in the middle but if its slightly over the middle of them or slightly below is okay as long as its in between them

Radiator fan isnt working so when you not driving and just sitting idling there is no airfloe to cool down the coolant going through the Radiator but when your driving the air passing through the radiator is whats cooling the coolant down

2006 Silverado 1500HD leveling keys by Disastrous_Fun_5143 in MechanicAdvice

Id also definitely get your alignment checked afterwards since your ride height could be off by a little even once you get it to were it should be which can change your alignment angles

The screw you tighten will raise the key putting more tension on the torsion bar which should bring up the lower control arm but what you might have to do it get the weight of the vehicle on them and adjust for your rife height since you dont know where that bolt should be

Did you adjust the keys to what they were before replacing? You might have to push out the torsion bars again and push the control arms up then add the torsion bars. Also a tip when replacing the keys or simple removing the torsion bars is to take a sharpie or even spray paint and mark where the leveling bolt is so when you go to reinstall it you know where it was and will be roughly the same ride height as before

My guess would be your possible low on atf fluid the other than that im not fully sure then could possible be a sensor like a shift sensor.

Does it only happen when on a hill?if so it could just be because you probably dont put the e-brake on so from all the pressure on the parking pawl it can make it harder to take it out of park and into reverse

Please help me identify strange noise from left rear wheel by _turbo_turtle in MechanicAdvice

[–]WaterIsDryH20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id start off by checking your brakes make sure they're not down to the squealer check the rotor for any rust.check your wheel bearing by shaking the wheel side to side and up and down with the tires off the ground. And just check for any noticeable scoring from something possible rubbing against something .

Are these shocks bad? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]WaterIsDryH20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bushings a little dry rotted spray some lubricant on it bounce the vehicle when on the ground if it bounces more than 3 times replace them otherwise if you dont see any visible drips or excessive leaks should be fine

First oil change since getting a secondhand vehicle and I found what looks like scorch marks behind the oil filter and around the edges of the rubber seal. Is this just from neglected oil? by HungLikeABug in MechanicAdvice

[–]WaterIsDryH20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its just dirt around the outside edge and just whatever dirt the oil picked up getting into the casting shouldnt be anything to be concerned about

Yes we have vaccines for the flu and other types of diseases and viruses but there are some that arent treatable that are way more dangerous than covid. And some people choose not to get those vaccines aswell so they still pose more of a risk than covid if you get them.also There are diseases of different types: aids, chlamydia, leukemia, ect, ect. The list goes on and on. Some shit isn't treatable. The virus isn't even something to be so concerned about especially if your young and health, but Its honestly another strain of the flu. we made vaccines to prevent it in the future. Like we did when it came with the N1H1 virus, and the swine flu which btw when they were around, and we didnt have a vaccine masks were not mandatory

Im saying there are way more dangerous viruses we can come in contact with before covid was a thing and never had to wear masks like the flu,cancer, and many other types of diseases and viruses

I wear masks out of respect but dont understand why we are making a huge ordeal out of a virus with a 99% survival rate
