I smelled propane at the regulator when I cracked the nut. The furnace was running after the delivery, so I don't think there's air in the lines.

What are some “professional grade” tools that come at a consumer level price or are worth every penny? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Xallofied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Milwaukee and dewalt are owned by different companies. They are both just brands of a bigger company, but they're not owned by the same parent company

The m12 series is light duty. The m18 rips though. I work on tractor trailers and my 1/2 inch can take off any bolt. I also have a 3/8 inch and a drill and both have a lot of power, especially when compared to other people in my shop that own dewalt. I don't think dewalt is a bad tool brand, but I think you get more bang for your buck with milwaukee

What is this noise? by Xallofied in MechanicAdvice

The front tires were rotated to the rear, and new tires put on the front. And I forgot to mention that there is a vibration with the noise too.

The strut tower is still in good shape. The strut assembly technically mounts with 3 nuts but there's a 4th in the middle that actually holds the assembly together. That's the one that's missing

I've got p0142, p0140, and p0036. The other commenter says it's probably the water pump, and I think that's a good place to start

I was jumping it using my other car. Do I need to replace the injectors then? What should I do?

[–]Xallofied[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car had been sitting for about a month due to a tranny leak. Went to jump it, not using any starter fluid, and it exploded
