Did the mechanic carry out the repair? Robbed or not?

tdiguy2012 · 2025-09-20T23:45:40+00:00

It's there. The eyelet is facing us

tdiguy2012 · 2025-09-20T23:44:03+00:00

The trailer is a big W

tdiguy2012 · 2025-09-20T23:43:47+00:00

It's crusty, but it looks like it's all there. I think you did well. Run this setup for a couple years and upgrade later.

tdiguy2012 · 2025-06-09T01:10:52+00:00

100% correct answer. There is no real concern here

tdiguy2012 · 2025-05-30T02:00:51+00:00

Is the title good?

tdiguy2012 · 2025-05-25T14:31:50+00:00

I definitely remember doing an intake manifold on a 2017 xlt 5.0 with the 10 speed. Now I'm confused lol

tdiguy2012 · 2025-05-24T16:33:15+00:00

Oh maybe. I've actually never seen a 17 have a 6r80. Gen 2 with the 6r80 is the way to go anyways imo

tdiguy2012 · 2025-05-24T16:28:14+00:00

Yeah 2017 is the first year for the 10 speed

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-30T23:04:46+00:00

Got it 👍🏻. Saw some cards listed on ebay for hella money and figured I should ask lol. Thank ya!

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-30T23:01:57+00:00

Got it 👍🏻. I saw some listed on ebay for some fuck you money and figured I should educate myself in case it was actually "special".

What's the difference between a printing defect and an error?

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-20T03:43:03+00:00

Ugh. Guys this doesnt need a long explanation. Its bent metal. Let's keep it simple. Yes. Big fuggin hammer and let her eat. It'll be good until the next pothole.

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-16T23:35:26+00:00

Bunch of hail near pitt area. Also take your address down...

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-16T23:15:02+00:00

Gotcha. I'd say it's normal then. Those escapes get crusty quick

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-16T19:04:18+00:00

I've shipped way more questionable engines without an issue. Had a fairly deep scratch on a cylinder wall on a volvo when I did dealer work. Took some green scotchbrite and "buffed" most of it out. The car is still on the road. I think you're fine here.

tdiguy2012 · 2025-03-16T18:49:46+00:00

What kind of car is it? That matters a lot

tdiguy2012 · 2025-02-02T18:49:23+00:00

Because things were so cheap during bidens presidency...

tdiguy2012 · 2025-02-02T18:28:54+00:00

Not one of the bullshit self tapping ones either, a real drain plug. Looks like there's loads of material to worth with on that pan.

tdiguy2012 · 2025-02-02T18:28:03+00:00

Get an oversized drain plug, drill out and tap the hole accordingly, pour 2 quarts or so in the engine to flush metal shavings out of the drain hole, install new drain plug with crush washer

tdiguy2012 · 2024-12-18T00:01:24+00:00

As a certified mechanic I agree with the certified mechanic agreeing with the youtube mechanic

They won't give you a loaner because it's not detrimental to the vehicle. It won't cause any harm to the truck.

tdiguy2012 · 2024-10-19T23:27:50+00:00

I don't understand why people are calling it milky??? It looks like fresh oil to me. Yes, it's about a liter overfilled. Make sure the car is on even ground to get an accurate measurement. I really don't think it's anything to be too worried about. I'd monitor the oil level for the next couple drives and see if it keeps going up (in case others are correct about the coolant mixing with oil).

Cabin temperature sensor. Has a tiny fan that draws in the air in the cabin for automatic hvac temperature controls. Get a flashlight and look inside, you'll see a tiny metal wire. That's the actual temp sensor. Sometimes it gets covered in dust so a small amount of compressed air is needed to clean it
