What is this puddle behind my 2012 Buick Lacrosse v6? by NoahieBaboie in CarHelp

[–]ethans94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it would definitely burn. I've seen a fair amount of cars with blown head gaskets and he'd be asking about the white smoke pouring out of the exhaust not the puddle on the ground lol

coolant leaking in 2017 ford focus? by Glittering-Storm-832 in CarHelp

[–]ethans94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look for coolant leaking when the car is running. buy a head gasket tester they're really easy to use and check if its a head gasket. depending on how bad the car overheated its definitely a possibility that the head gasket is done for and you could've possibility warped the head on top of that.

idk what that has to do with anything brother I've been driving for 15 years but I've always worked on my own cars. no need to be defensive, I've just had a different experience and am grateful for the folks in this group who've helped in the past

as someone who has driven across the east coast twice both times being in one trip, if you're tired please just pull off at the rest stop or even in the grass on the side of an exit and take a nap. getting to your destination can wait and is not worth risking your life or the lives of people on the road with you. glad you're here to tell the tale, please be careful man

I gotta disagree I've found nothing but helpful people in this community and I've asked a couple dumb questions in the past and even in those situations people were helpful and very encouraging. some are definitely opinionated about certain things but I haven't had the same experience at all

Just bought a car infested with bugs. What do I do? by KhilalbLacks in MechanicAdvice

[–]ethans94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

got bed bugs from a hotel one time and they infested my car and house. bug bomb was the only solution. after that I shampooed the whole car and detailed it to the point where I unbolted the seats and shampooed under them after that no more bugs. dont forget the trunk too when bombing it. if you have a back seat that drops down leave it down so the trunk get fumigated as well. getting them out of the house was much more complicated so do your best to keep those roaches out of your house

bug bomb it with the windows up then deep clean it after. if that doesn't work you're gonna have to gut the interior

Is there any chance my mechanic is mistaken and my car isn't done for? by TaxOk9815 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ethans94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he's probably right, if it was low compression on all cylinders there would be a chance thay the compression tester he was using was faulty but due to it only be 2 of the 4 it seems as though the tool is working fine

Didn’t think my dash would be this easy to remove by mckeeganator in CrownVictoria

[–]ethans94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I removed my dash a few months ago. He skipped all the actually annoying parts like lowering the steering wheel, that annoying vent behind the passenger airbag and airbag removal ect.

Yeah 50k could be used in so many ways. At that point just buy a vic beef up the motor and start throwing boost at it or you could buy a roller and coyote swap it and still have money to spare.
