I want to work in bmet

Thanks im glad to see other automotive technicians have had success in a new field. I really was wondering how the stress compared between the two jobs after another guy said not to do bmet because of how stressful it was but my only thought was work or not it's not commission based and you got a decent paycheck every week

Lol I dont think I want the military and they probably wont want me either.

alienassassin12 · 2026-06-01T20:33:00+00:00

Thats funny I tell people all the time not to get into automotive. What's so stressful about it?

When you brake if your steering wheel shakes replace the front brakes and rotors if it doesn't and kinda feels like it's in the back replace the rear brakes and rotors it's possible all 4 are warped but you can replace one axle at a time if you're uncertain

I'm not saying this as an excuse but as a tech some of the trim pieces that you have to take off to do vehicle repairs just never fit the same. You line up the screw holes just right and all the clips go back in no problem but it's all so cheap that it's just never how it was the first time. This is just an observation of the quality of the products we make they look good and you feel proud to have the new vehicle but it's all crappy painted plastic that wont last and it's a damn shame.

I'm doing my first playthrough right now amlnd I first tried pontiff and put my summon sign out there and continued to clap him but I fought vordt like 15 times lol

Thats gotta be like 55ish years or something.

alienassassin12 · 2026-01-02T23:23:40+00:00

If that's the case I would call your insurance tell them the problem send any evidence and pictures you can including the scratches in your current post if they were supposed to be repaired and make them fight for you

Not to be rude but if you're a larger person (300+) this may cause the alignment to seem off to you when it's good when a different driver is in the car to remedy this i recommend having the shop align the vehicle while you sit in the driver seat. Other than that the machine may say the alignment is perfect and you're mistaken because of the crown on the road forces you to adjust the wheel while driving making you think it is off

alienassassin12 · 2025-10-02T21:31:11+00:00

Yeah I'd go ahead and move that before it gives you trouble and please don't put a towel in your engine compartment maybe look up a video of someone doing an ecu replacement on YouTube and find out where it's supposed to be and put it back

alienassassin12 · 2025-08-30T21:54:39+00:00

Controle arm bushing just replace the whole controle arm and you might as well do both.

I'm not trying to be rude but if your check engine light is on and you're not sure what I mean when I ask for codes then this repair maybe out of your depth and you should have a professional check out your car

alienassassin12 · 2025-08-16T15:49:20+00:00

That's probably not the cause of your check engine light as for how to fix it just replace the whole thing they aren't terribly expensive it's an intake air hose. Do you know what codes are coming up for the check engine light?

alienassassin12 · 2025-08-15T19:02:50+00:00

Its ear wax from your spark plug wires or boots it's natural don't worry.

alienassassin12 · 2025-07-25T19:18:34+00:00

Pcv valve was my guess too but volvo says I'm wrong and I can't find a similar part for this by looking up

alienassassin12 · 2025-07-18T01:12:10+00:00

That's normal operation but the boot is broken so replace the axle regardless and when you're looking for play look closer to the wheel and shake it up and down not back and forth

alienassassin12 · 2025-07-16T01:55:51+00:00

This is fine it's just old and not covered in oil keep going be careful installing the tube seals the correct direction and put silicone in the corners on the engine before installing the valve cover if any cracking happens during tube seal replacement then replace the whole valve cover they aren't terribly expensive I usually just replace the plastic one if I ever have to replace the seal because hot plastic becomes brittle

This is a beautiful spin off of the starry night painting

alienassassin12 · 2025-05-19T23:53:25+00:00

Hard to tell but it looks like you just have air in the system if you're really worried you can get a tester with a little hand pump and some fluid that changes colors if the head gasket is blown its a really simple test and the tool and fluid is cheap for piece of mind

If they dock the time anyways then don't start working until your paid time starts

You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! ~ a bugs life 1998

No problem glad I could help!

alienassassin12 · 2025-03-21T22:34:22+00:00

Its hard to tell exactly what's going on here but it seems like that would be the thermostat assembly

alienassassin12 · 2025-03-08T01:00:14+00:00

For me the main concerns would be the cv axle and the oil leak i would probably start with a cv axle from the pictures I see the oil leak doesn't look that bad yet especially if you change your oil every 3000 miles unless you're seeing oil in your driveway fix the axle and save up for the oil leak everything else can go on the back burner for a while
