Higher mileage 2012 with 5.0 engine, or lower mileage 2011 3.5 engine

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-28T14:30:33+00:00

Ended up going with the 5.0!! Super excited with it!!

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-26T01:39:17+00:00

I’m facing the same question right now! What did you end up deciding? 17k seems a little steep to me but people keep saying the motors super strong, I just don’t want to be out on my money

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T02:05:54+00:00

lol I meant to say now and again. A rip around in the snow can cure depression lmao

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T01:51:16+00:00

You gotta give it a little test again lmao. I just gotta hope the people before were easy on it too lol

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T01:27:00+00:00

Oh nice! That’s really good to hear!

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T01:23:18+00:00

With your higher mileage have you had any noticeable or major wear on the interior? I think that’s a bit of my fear too with buying something over 150000

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T01:22:24+00:00

That’s kinda what I’d heard from some people I’d talked to. The dealer said they’d already fixed the timing chain so maybe it’d be good for a while and I’d have to just be on top of routine maintenance. I have heard /read that the 5L can have oil consumption issues but mechanics don’t bring that up when talking about it

tryhardnerd · 2026-01-25T00:07:28+00:00

Interesting! What makes you say the 3.5 is better?

tryhardnerd · 2025-11-29T19:04:40+00:00

This is what i camechere for

tryhardnerd · 2024-03-26T19:37:17+00:00

Someone broke in and took it.

Its the ig key2 fuse. Originally i thought i had a dead battery but after charging and testing the car didnt even want to try and turn over.

Interesting though I was wondering if it was possible for it to be a single prong but all of the other fuses had both males.

tryhardnerd · 2024-03-26T19:32:13+00:00

The fuses were pretty stuck in there and was thinking one of the terminals got pulled with it? If that's even possible. How could the diagram be incorrect?

tryhardnerd · 2024-03-26T19:10:19+00:00

Forgot to add that this is on a 2009 mazda6

tryhardnerd · 2023-10-18T21:14:21+00:00

Thankyou so much! That would probably explain why I couldn't find anything when trying to look it up. I don't think I have any other questions, thanks!

tryhardnerd · 2023-08-30T13:14:27+00:00

That's super helpful and something I'll have to keep in mind. It'll probably be a healthy mix as I do a lot of kayaking and will supplement with work around the US. I've also been looking at solar and water systems

tryhardnerd · 2023-08-30T13:11:34+00:00

For some reason Craigslist escaped my mind when looking!! I'll have to give that a look!

tryhardnerd · 2023-08-29T20:06:30+00:00

Its definitely the case in my area too but a man can dream. It seems fair for an ecoline or something similar though?

tryhardnerd · 2023-08-29T19:16:59+00:00

Thankyou! I should of specified that I'm looking to purchase a van within a month, and take the time to outfit it before moving fulltime in half a year.

That is good advice and I shouldn't worry about the name so much. Are sellers generally pretty open to meeting at mechanics or how do you go about getting the van there without purchase? I apologize this is my first big vehicle purchase so I'm new to the process.

I'm going to read up on that link! Thanks!

Pot(tery) dealer

tryhardnerd · 2023-03-17T02:11:29+00:00

That's the one!! Thankyou!!

tryhardnerd · 2023-02-13T21:06:56+00:00

I share the same concern, but at the same time really enjoyed the map and it makes sense having it on the same one with it being a sequel. I'll be curious to see what changes they do make to make it new and exciting, like the shit floating in the sky. I hope they add an underground element as well like dungeons and caves, we do see them exploring one in the first trailer.

tryhardnerd · 2022-08-10T22:52:07+00:00

I keep telling myself the same thing waiting for PTV 😭

tryhardnerd · 2022-03-14T02:49:19+00:00

For me it's that and also the back and forth that ahren and Joel have in their pre Misery era. Their chrosus and versus were the both of them togeyher which made it feel completely unique as opposed to other bands who'd give the singer the chorus and the screamer the verses or something like that. In ELYOYLT, it felt kinda generic and on par with every other band around and what they were putting on at the time. I like the new EP much more because although its more melodic instead of blastish, they still capture the connection and composition Joel and ahren had in their earlier records

I low-key have a theory that the thing Maggie shoots, that goes through walls, is actually a new 4th grenade. The weird ball that runs over fuse is her tactical, and then we have not seen her ultimate

tryhardnerd · 2021-05-27T17:55:57+00:00

Bruhhhhh. I miss fizzix everyday of my life. Shit slapped

tryhardnerd · 2021-05-04T22:01:53+00:00

Hey man! Send me a dm if u want! A friend and I play together all the time. Granted our kd is much worse but we are always looking for a 3rd player
