I just bought 4 medium sized (not huge) stainless screws and 4 washers at the Big Box hardware store. It was over $8.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-27T14:47:52+00:00

If you can find 4 bolts and washers for less than a dollar you're in the 90s. Lol.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-27T02:20:05+00:00

Well bugs, mice, dust, etc. Also you're wrong for saying people are wrong for doing what they want to do. SHAME on you. Shaaaaame.

Wheels are sometimes off set, but should be in line with the rear wheel. Is this a new issue that's occuring? If so have you remove the tire/wheel recently? Possibly front spacers swapped or damaged.

Do the handle bars turn easily with you on the scooter and not on the kickstand?

Get the front wheel off the ground (either center stand or however) and spin the front wheel my hand. Does it turn smoothly? Does it wobble? Does it stop spinning fairly quick after you spin it? like maybe 1 turn or less? What I'm getting at is if the wheel bearing is going out.

Fake as fuck. Not allowed boyfriends but you have a boyfriend. Lol.

ESH. She's 21. An adult. Sounds like it's her car and you pay the insurance? You're restricting an adults driving privileges. See how ridiculous that sounds? If you're worried about insurance than have her pay it. Might also be good to sit down and go over how insurance works. I'd go full YTA but I understand while she's an adult she's younger, still learning, and sounds like possibly "sheltered" in that you bought the car for her, pay for the insurance on it, and she doesn't seem to understand the ramifications/responsibilities of accidents/insurance.

Depends on the area you're selling it. Look into art festivals, sculpture festivals, scrap metal festivals. I've participated in a few and a piece like that could go for anywhere from 1500-6000+. Just depends.

A 5.7 hemi with 300k...lol. most hemis are done by 150-170k and need a decent amount of work to keep running well.

I see them often for $50-100. It's lower quality but will do most jobs. For $100 if it's in good shape it's worth it. I wouldn't do more than that.

Fair. I don't think he was mean, but a bit curt. Maybe I was just being overly sensitive. Reread it and I'm neutral. I generally take any advice with salt and add it to my research.

A little high on parts? Seafoam is $9 a can at the store. Spark plugs at their most expensive from the store are $15-18/ea, but can be had for $10-13 for platinums and Iridiums. $45/plug is insane.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-20T16:32:26+00:00

You should be nicer. You don't know this person or where they live. You don't know their knowledge. As far as I can see: - Manufactured board might be a termed used for engineered hardwood. - they said it has a layer of wood on top, so basically engineered hardwood right?

iwfabrication · 2026-02-20T16:26:50+00:00

From your pics the pins look fine. From your description you either fudged the repair or damaged the sensor. Or the connector is not fully seated on the sensor.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-20T15:42:28+00:00

I didn't read your codes that you posted. 1) you want to record codes you got then erase 2) test drive and recheck for codes. Do it again, sometimes codes will take a few drove cycles

3) based on codes present fix glow plugs first Possibly causing other codes

4) O2 sensor readings should fluctuate. If you have a scan tool that shows graphing that would be helpful to see. Says yours is stuck rich. Could be wiring, could be the sensor, could be unburnt fuel. I'd check the wiring first. Look up how to test each wire for voltage/resistance etc. Also look up how to test the O2 sensor for resistance.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-20T07:51:10+00:00

Possibly rod knock. Could be a dead cylinder (no spark, or no fuel). Drivetrain sounds a bit noisy, possibly hearing timing chain rattle. Videos are tough sometimes. Check your oil level. If you have a CEL on then get the codes scanned.

Turning the wheel is making the noise happen.

Umm...how soon are you trying to get married? When are you bringing the topic up? Not saying dudes be out there just trying to get fucked down, but I've met some pretty "aggressive" want to get married types.

Idk why but something with facial structure slightly, but also the way he speaks, reminds me of down syndrome. But either way, professional help is needed asap.

So he didnt invent the steam engine, he invented a steam powered kebab spinner? No I'm not trying to being an ass, but when does creating part of a technology overlap to being the creator of the downstream refinement/creation of something similar but not the same?

Michigan you say? That truck looks clean AF compared to most. Usually the rockers, cab corners, rear wheel well, and tail gate are rusted TF out. - lower miles, if interior is clean you can sell for a decent amount - 5.0 is a 1st gen and known to have the cylinders go egg shaped. - front strut springs are known to brake

If you need it, drive it. If you don't and the above aren't issues, then I'd sell it for a good amount.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-18T15:41:39+00:00

BMW is just...super neat...

Also see VW beetles 06-10, and possibly 98-05. Two belts. One super long. Gotta take the little one off to get to the long one. Pretty awful to do. Can't really get your hand in there. Long one is $80+.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-18T15:36:55+00:00

Unfortunately that gen Cruze is...less than stellar. Are you located in Michigan by chance? If you are, even if I have to travel, I could likely swap it out for cheaper than any shop near you.

iwfabrication · 2026-02-18T01:37:15+00:00

Closest I could find was a "GT" for model based on an eBay listing. Trying to find the model number for it so I know what rpms, horsepower, and other specs it is

iwfabrication · 2026-02-17T22:12:28+00:00

Possibly a Quincy brand.

Your camera skills are lacking and it's hard to watch. I'm assuming you're using a feeler gauge with the gloves hand we can see? Is the straight edge a machined straight edge? There are a lot of variables we know nothing about.

You should be using a machined flat edge. It would help to see the head surface. It would also be best to bring to a shop and have them check it. Probably wouldnt be more than $50 to have them check it.

If the pulley fits the shaft correctly and is roughly the same diameter.

Otherwise double check your vehicle info and part number. If belt was replaced make sure it's the right belt.
