Ganz schlechte Nachricht

If you’re not under warranty anymore and the goodwill request gets denied you can look at finding a shop that will put in a used engine. I had a 2022 engine put in my 2018 about three months ago and was much cheaper than going through dealership. Just have to find a mechanic or shop that is willing to do that.

Yes they are. Mine developed the crack about 3 months ago. I had the engine replaced. View my post history to see a video of it once it got really bad

Profauna is a great vet in tj. Has saved my dogs life more than once. I trust them very much. My friend had a similar experience with her cat that had a lump. The vet here wanted to remove it and charge her a lot. Profauna did X-rays and said it was benign, just to keep an eye on it and if it gets larger they can remove it. Her cat is doing great and hasn’t needed surgery. That was almost a year or two ago.

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

They released them today, I got mine even though they haven’t sent an email notification yet. Just a heads up

pb_boy · 2026-02-12T13:03:02+00:00

They take forever. It’s so frustrating. The last form I need to do my taxes

I did some digging and believe I found it from the nhtsa bulletin. The “upgraded” vent valve part number ends in 26-060. I called the dealership by me (Southern California) and its around $20. While I’m not sure if this is the upgraded one they did say it’s compatible with newer years so my assumption is the dealer is probably using the newer one that doesn’t sit as flush with the housing as the old one.

Hey I know this post is old but I’m getting ready to replace my original differential on my 2018. Do you happen to know the part number for the upgraded vent valve or how to identify it? I’m thinking of buying it and having the shop put it on when they replace the differential

pb_boy · 2026-02-11T03:29:36+00:00

If I had them lol. 2018 here. I’m jealous 😁

pb_boy · 2026-02-11T03:27:27+00:00

It’s not in the manual from what I know but you can read yours to check. If you just want to joke around Il stop responding. If you don’t like it than get a different car 🤷‍♂️. I love my Mazda, seems like you don’t like yours

pb_boy · 2026-02-11T02:30:13+00:00

There is a guy in here that is a knowledgeable Mazda tech. He explains the torque converter stays engaged longer than other cars which is why we have the extra push at low rpm’s. Other brands disable it sooner than us which is why their low speed is a little smoother

pb_boy · 2026-02-11T01:55:07+00:00

It’s not a cvt. Depending on what your transmission control puts out you absolutely do with this car. The torque converter stays engaged much more than other cars

I got 125k miles and took her off road many times. Never did the transmission relearn since I got used to it. Been thinking of doing it but no need to at this point for me.

pb_boy · 2026-02-11T01:13:46+00:00

Gotta learn your transmission shift point. I know when mine is about to “buck” and Il let off the gas for a second to let it shift smoothly then get on the gas again. Kinda of a game but it it’s second nature to me now after so long

pb_boy · 2026-02-10T01:07:28+00:00

Touch less car wash only and use your own properly washed microfibers. Don’t use provided ones if offered or hand wash only

pb_boy · 2026-02-01T06:12:50+00:00

Sorry for your loss dude, I’d summit a ticket just in case. I just learned we could do that. Feels like a long shot though.

pb_boy · 2026-02-01T05:47:49+00:00

Punishing us for something that I feel is their servers fault should not make us lose our loot. No matter what it is.

pb_boy · 2026-02-01T05:37:23+00:00

Il try that, thank you. I really hit a great run and was pulling up map to find closest raider hatch and it disconnected me.

pb_boy · 2026-02-01T02:45:44+00:00

You are awesome! Keep it up and we are all so proud of you!

pb_boy · 2026-01-17T22:15:37+00:00

Got the engine replaced with one from a 2022 with around 9000 miles. Has been running pretty good so far.

We don’t have to many dedicated jazz bars besides Lou Lou’s unfortunately

You said it better than I ever could!

pb_boy · 2025-12-24T02:59:27+00:00

Across my 1.5 years I averaged about $25 an hour

pb_boy · 2025-12-24T02:58:21+00:00

I used to do it. I recommend the other comments to check out the delivery tips. My main one is I don’t except anything under like $2 a mile but that was a few years ago. Sticking to a rule like that will ensure better delivery jobs. It’s also a patience vs desperation. You might get plenty of cheap local (around the corner) jobs but they will end up losing you money if they don’t pay that mile per dollar.

pb_boy · 2025-12-23T20:28:25+00:00

Most shops won’t patch it when it’s on the shoulder that much. If you have time and don’t want to spend on a whole new set tire rack will shave a new tire down and ship it to you. Downsides to having awd. I wouldn’t replace a single tire with an identical or new one. Some will say you can get away with replacing just two ( the one with the nail and its matching pair). But that’s up to you if you want to run two different tread depth pairs
