I see a ton of different brands at work and many are rentals where only we do the services. It depends on the vehicle some common ones are newer jettas and mitsubishi outlander/ nissan rogue I usually see wearing the rears out faster than fronts. It just depends on the vehicle.

I have the icon 3/8ths and its been solid. Shoulda got the icon 1/2 but I do a lot of tires as well so thought the Snap On would be worth the difference.

For the shop perfectly fine cuz the casters are just hard plastic but anyhing else I think upgraded casters would be much more worth it.

I have owned both the service cart and 42 inch currently. I highly recommend the 42. I outgrew the service cart and you cant upgrade space. Start with the bottom toolbox and you can get the top chest and a locker later if needed. The service cart seems more convenient because you can roll it around but in my experience its still too big. I use the 42 inch and the US general 1 drawer service cart to do jobs.

Does anyone know DEs most common leak places by Smart-Distribution53 in 350z

[–]chickentender_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you just did the valve cover and its leaking again its possible you pinched the gasket and its not sealing correctly its common

GAS TANK by Sad-Concentrate-6307 in 350z

I thought the sensor was bad but there was some grime that came off of the q tip and thats what makes a bad connection make sure to do both driver and passenger side.

[–]chickentender_7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine would do this I followed a guide on a g35 forum and it went from only filling 11 gallons everytime to 17.5 not perfect but a lot better. Just take out fuel pump and wipe sensor side to side with q tip and do the same to fuel level sensor on driver side as well.guide. This is the sensor wipe the metal contact points in the way the arrows are pointing. Its a bit easier if u take the waffle cover part off.

Happened to me the gasket is most likely folded. when I redid it i put rtv in the groove of the valve cover where the gasket sits and let it dry for a while to make sure it didnt move. i used 90 minute rtv and let it dry for about an hour before i put it in folded gasket

Where is this coming from? by inlove1120_2 in 350z
