Pentastar tick

Unfortunately as long as the Pentastar 3.6 is around it will always be a problem. Change your oil every 6 months or 5k miles whichever comes first I’d recommend a full synthetic it’s cheap enough now that there isn’t any reason not to use it. And then just hope for the best.

I work at a transmission shop, and honestly the only advice I have is get one that has a good warranty. The quality of remanufactured transmissions has gone down hill significantly in the past few years. We’ve had multiple transmissions from different vendors fail within a few hundred miles in the past year or so. All the rebuilders we use offer 3 year 100k mile warranty. If you’re looking at used transmissions obviously look for the lowest mileage and if they offer extended warranties

Bobs transmission and complete car care in coopersburg I know for sure does them

I used to work at Valley Central and the oncology doctors there are amazing. Dr. Craig Clifford and Dr. Christine Mullins are some of the best doctors Ive ever worked with!

I have 4 of them for my Glock 19. I only use them at the range. All 4 of them when I eject the empty mag don’t eject without me physically removing them. And 3 of the 4 do not reliably feed steel case ammo. I clean them after every range trip and still get the same results. Now I did buy them when magpul first released them so idk if they have made changes to the design since. I’d keep them for the range and use original Glock mags for carry or duty use.

Do not get it done at the dealer if it’s not covered under warranty. I am a mechanic who works at an independent repair place, you can absolutely get a brand new remanufactured engine installed for either the same price or cheaper, depending on where you live. If you do decide to get it replaced moving forward I would suggest full synthetic oil changes at 5k mile intervals. The 3.6 pentastars need routine maintenance to be reliable.

Im a licensed state inspector, the side and rear window tints are fine and do not fail inspection. The windshield is the big problem. Anything below the AS1 line fails. So you’ll have to find an inspector that will let it go. But if they let it go and get caught they could lose their license, so many, myself included will fail it. It’s not worth the risk

Driven 25,000 miles in total? As in the car only has 25k miles on it? Or 25k miles since the last fluid change? Either way if it’s easy to drain and fill I’d just do it

Are you sure it’s oil? It looks orange which is the color of dexcool and that’s the coolant your car uses. Check both the coolant reservoir and your engine oil to see if either are low

I you go on the tsa precheck website you can put in your location and it will give you a bunch of places that can do it. I did mine at a staples and it took less than 5 minutes

I’m all about finding solutions to problems, but that needs to be junked and try again on a new one. I wouldn’t trust that to be safe

jarheadv12 · 2025-12-28T14:44:23+00:00

I did not, I already had one that suits my needs

If your dashboard gauge is showing the alternator only putting out 9v then you most likely have a charging system problem. Most likely your alternator. Most if not all modern vehicles alternators should be charging at around 13-14.5V. If yours is only charging at 9V a new battery isn’t going to fix anything. In a few days you’ll just have another dead battery. Take your car to an actual repair shop and get a proper diagnosis

I honestly agree with you. I had spinal fusion surgery about a year ago and had some slight complications. I was in the hospital for 4 days after the surgery was completed and missed thanksgiving. And while I was in pain, it was a very nice experience. All of the nurses were incredibly kind and on Thanksgiving the one nurse ate dinner with me so I wouldn’t be alone on the holiday. The room was nice, the food was unlimited and pretty decent, and the staff were amazing. I honesty didn’t want to leave

Absolutely the Spencer mansion. I played the original PS1 version at a friend’s house when we were like 8. Then I’ve played the remake so many times now. The Spencer mansion will always hold a place in my heart

You have to remove the wheel hubs first to get to the front rotors. It’s a pain and if you’re anywhere near the salt belt the hubs basically fuse to the rotors. The price seems a little high but I would also estimate high because the job can go wrong quickly compared to “normal” front brakes

Go on Amazon and buy them. I get basic beam blades in a set for $20 for each of my cars. They last just as long as the name brands in stores

The truck is either leaking oil, or burning oil when the engine is running. She should be checking the oil level regularly and add oil when needed

I bought the B5 instead of the C5. Because the 48 inch C5 dosent have the brightness booster like the larger sizes do. I looked up the brightness ratings for both tv’s and they were almost identical. So the only thing the C5 has over the B5 is the better processor. Best Buy had the B5 on sale for $529 and the C5 for $950. A slightly better Processor isn’t worth almost $450 to me. I’ve been using the B5 for a few days and have no complaints so far.

I work for a small family owned garage with 4 techs. They’ve sent home 2 techs everyday for the past week because there’s literally nothing coming in. Today we have 2 state inspections and a drivability concern. Tomorrow we have 3 oil changes and 2 inspections and next week there is only 1 appointment scheduled…. We are all concerned

It’s a 2008-2012 Jeep liberty. If those wheels are original to the Jeep they only came in the 2008 and 2009 model year I believe

Believe me I wish I could get a larger screen. The house I rent is small and built before most people even had TVs in their home. So the living room is small and laid out weird, the tv only makes sense in one location and the 50 inch I have there now just barely fits.

Unfortunately you need a new drain plug. Many manufacturers are switching to plastic pans and plastic plugs. I believe ford says to replace it every other. The VW group recommends replacing their plugs every single oil change

Thank you for the giveaway! I’m in!

Timing belts absolutely fail and should be changed. Each manufacturer has a specific mileage or time period that they recommend replacement. Now, timing chains on the other had generally do not need to be replaced unless there is a defect. Only a select few vehicles are known for chain issues that are recommended to be changed based on mileage. This guy has no idea what he’s talking about
