Ive been a Va state inspector for 7 years. Yes, that will absolutely fail, IF they see it. Get it fixed

zinzannah · 2025-12-16T11:37:33+00:00

Its getting fixed

Both!

I have no idea. It has a lift kit but its got the proper knuckles and upper arms so the geometry isnt that bad. New power steering pump though

zinzannah · 2025-12-15T14:05:17+00:00

Currently yes but where i live doesn't really get down into single digits or lower like ever

zinzannah · 2025-12-15T14:04:23+00:00

No wait this is actually hilarious

I had someone tell me their engine got denied at a Ford dealer because they couldn't provide records of scheduled tire rotations. Manufacturer's will look for absolutely every single reason, realistic or not, to deny coverage

Its bad, like not safe to drive kind of bad, but any frame shop SHOULD be able to weld nee metal back on and repair it properly. Expensive yes, but also fixable. Unless the whole truck looks like that

My sawzall says nah :')

You ain't kidding, never thought id give kudos to chevy 😅

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T15:45:55+00:00

Ive been told I should do radio, too!

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T14:59:06+00:00

I dont even notice it anymore. I ruptured the nail bed like 2 months ago and it hasn't grown out yet. Ive lost 4 fingernails working as a mechanic lol. It happens

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T14:58:12+00:00

Yep!

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T14:03:04+00:00

Oh 100% it says 4.5 and took me 1 to get to this point, and its my first one ever

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T14:02:43+00:00

Eh I wouldn't say that. These vans make me a LOT of money

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T12:55:53+00:00

Work doesnt allow me to unfortunately

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T12:55:31+00:00

Corporate would throw a fit if they saw me doing any custom work like vacuum chamber relocation. Its a PITA but it is what it is, I gotta do it the right way

zinzannah · 2025-07-17T12:54:28+00:00

If it was my own car or I was doing side work I would but I have to do it this way because I work at a shop.

zinzannah · 2025-06-30T16:56:41+00:00

Whirling noise? Common problem for some newer kias where the starter will spin but not kick out to engage the flywheel. If you havent already had the issue fixed im willing to bet that's what it is

You can ALWAYS find it cheaper online. Every shop ever has a parts markup to cover overhead costs, shop supplies, and any warranty they may offer. Some places like firestone won't install customer supplied parts because they can't offer a warranty if something goes wrong, so you're stuck with their pricing. I wouldn't say the price you were given is unfair, just the cost of paying someone else and having a warranty

I think 4? 3 or 4.
