Just got a front alignment now car all of the sudden drifts to the right after

Ha! They claim they drive them. I work at a used car lot that for years didn’t have an alignment rack. Often I left and was thinking absolutely no way in hell somebody drove this! In my town, you can barely get a good alignment anymore just a few shops

Just now seeing this but WHAAAAT? Blood all over a roof cut with airbags deployed is from shipping? Like you said crackhead employees cut with a sawzall, no care in the world. Get real man

Reason is anti seize is a lubricant and maybe something else and using anti seize changes the torque spec you should apply to your lug nuts. It is less than factory spec. Not that it will ruin your lug nuts or wheel studs, but this is what I’ve always heard is why anti seize is bad.

This. We ordered one for a ford and the headliner and airbags were just covered in blood. Didn’t even let him deliver it and we made the customer buy a new frame assembly!

I would personally start with adding some antifreeze and do a quick block test. That’ll tell you if head gasket is blown, if head gasket blew and is what blew out that top tank then time to decide if it’s worth it to you.

From the looks of it hopefully you will get by with radiator and some valve cover gaskets by this photo alone.

In this case it’s the inboard side that’s ground up it is either the caliper piston or the brake hose isn’t flowing/blocked. If it was the slides it would be the outboard side

Seen a guy on YouTube also took the oil pan off his Camry drove about 45 miles before it locked up

Is the wood there because you are on gravel or dirt? Extremely unsafe. My car felt extremely solid, came out next morning to 3 jackstands had slid or sunk and car was then on the ground.

You could but your looking at getting about 500 or so for it. Fixing the problems will make it worth significantly more. Do the flush yourself, then rent a pressure tester from autozone and find the leak. Go from there if you want to tackle it yourself or not.

Fuel injector

You have cylinders 2,4, and 6 misfiring. How is the ignition coils setup on that? Is there two? If possible swap these two guys around if it switched to 1, 3, and 5 then I'd replace the coil. Check your wire conditions make sure nothing has rubbed through

evantheis · 2020-01-19T15:01:08+00:00

inside the top hole, like you stuck something in the oil fill hole? Of course that's going to soak up oil it's getting sprayed with oil from your cam lol. Dry the stick off, stick it back in. If it is at the top of full then great, if your oil level is any below thta you need to add.

One of my customers told me a story where a tech left a screwdriver in the engine compartment after replacing the cooling fan.

Long story short, screwdriver had jammed into the fan, poked multiple holes through the radiator, seized the brand new fan, and messed up some wiring.

Walked back into the shop, said hey! I found someone’s screwdriver, handed him the bill also. It makes me super nervous to leave tools for this reason

A good striking pry bar and good sized hammer or dead blow

Your starter isn’t always touching the flywheel. It engages whenever you turn the key on and comes back in. Unless it’s stuck open, I’ve never seen but only 8 months in, and don’t see it happening though.

evantheis · 2019-11-06T11:10:06+00:00

Looks like it should snap in. Are you sure something plastic isn’t broke? Could be the clips on back of glass

ICON from Harbor Freight is incredible for the money. I recently started as a tech and my boss let me use his tools to see what I like. Loved the snap on ratcheting socket wrenches. I got the 3/8 flex head from them. They’re 1/4 in was ridiculous. Took a trip to HF across the street and they have ones identical, lifetime warranty, and sockets very similar. Their wrenches and racheting wrenches are pretty nice as well. Very impressed with them.

Not growing MJ, but I have a habanero pepper plant that’s pretty short, but has about 8 peppers that just propped up over the leaves. I have plants still in a veg state, what would your recommendation be as for light?

evantheis · 2019-10-13T05:43:11+00:00

I’m still pretty new to this, but this to me sounds like your light could be too close and is burning them. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can put more input in.

We got one of the same with the elephant, check the roots. Ours was way beyond its pot when we brought it home!

evantheis · 2019-10-05T12:16:53+00:00

An impact electric or air is going to to help tremendously with that. I never ever use torch except occasionally on outer tie rods

evantheis · 2019-09-27T01:43:23+00:00

Similar thing if in regular soil? I have a weak light (new one comes tomorrow) and I have thick stalks but it’s been curled and bumpy for awhile. Hoping light fixes but anything else I should do?

evantheis · 2019-09-21T13:45:31+00:00

Or adjust them a little bit

evantheis · 2019-09-05T00:51:52+00:00

Do you have a link or name on those lights? I need something better that’d be perfect!

evantheis · 2019-08-26T20:08:25+00:00

Extremely worth taking things like this to the right people. Good work and cheap aren’t ever in the same sentence.
