    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    Seems like they charge for that, but rarely do it.

    Change it or let it ride a little longer?

    Run it a bit longer and test it. Sounds like it's not in danger of fuel dilution.

    You pick it I’ll run it: oil for 02’ Dakota

    If it was neglected like practically every dodge I've seen clean it out with R&P and a good rock catcher oil filter.

    Tell me your top 3 oil filters for efficiency....

    What do you mean hydraulic filters don't fit on an engine? I've got 2micron filters that are 13/16-16 thread size for doing exactly what you say can't be done. The only difference is a higher pressure bypass, they cost more, usually at least double that of a normal oil filter and are harder to...

    Tell me your top 3 oil filters for efficiency....

    All those are trash compared to a 2 micron wix hydraulic filter if the question is efficiency. It kinda boils down to how much is someone willing to spend and how hard are they going to look for it.

    John Deere generator filter ... BT259 ran 3,850hrs

    Anything I get from the store such as a wix or any kind of fram.

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    Why? I put the new radiator support on and so far everything lines up like nothing happened.

    Tell me your top 3 oil filters for efficiency....

    Dirt capacity is almost irrelevant, when I cut open oil filters at 200hrs or 6,000 miles they're still fairly clean. For $13 I don't think anything beats fram synthetic endurance oil filters. I can get down to a 2 micron "hydraulic filter" but they run around $40 or more, may not have a bypass...

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    Nope that would be way harder with all the hybrid stuff. I've got all the major systems that were damaged repaired. It's all cosmetic damage and easy to replace stuff like radiator, condenser, radiator fan, radiator support, body panels.

    Mixed 2 Cycle gas in a new vehicle?

    I dumped 2 gallons of last years 40:1 red armor gas plus the last little bit of redarmor oil into my dodge Dakota right after I did the 2nd oil change. It made the oil harsh dark yellow varnish color, not the normal "oil turning black from soot" color. Didn't seem to hurt anything.

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    We're gonna test that. It probably needed an alignment before the deer.

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    The radiator support was destroyed, but sandwichs between the uniframe and the metal bumper. It's an easy to replace part. A new radiator support was $250 shipped and fits the hybrid radiators and condenser perfectly, lines up on the passenger side like nothing happened.

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    It's going. Might be driving it today or tomorrow. I'm looking at making it better than before the deer splat for under $2000. The passenger side mirror and windshield vent cover were cracked, the passenger side front fender, hood and trunk lid were dented, all from hail storms. Then keep the...

    John Deere generator filter ... BT259 ran 3,850hrs

    I don't know about the OEM ones but ones I get at the store have a bypass.

    My dodge is like the too.

    $0 R-134a recovery.

    After an hour and 20 minutes system pressure is down to 45psi. Pulled another 7oz out.

    Water heater advice

    No tankless. Done it once and I'll never do it again. How ever long your tank heater lasted, a tankless will last somewhere between half and one third that time. My go to plumber loves tankless, says they make him a lot of money.

    $0 R-134a recovery.

    I did $0 recovery yesterday for maybe 2 hours and pulled out 10 to 12 ounces. I put a can with no liquid only pressure on there today, weighs 100gm. Put the service gun into the ice bath and tied back the trigger. Today it's 102f out, the cars A/C system has almost 150psi so there's still...

    Hit a deer can it be fixed?

    I got it all striped down. Virtually no frame/unibody damage. Bumping into a fixed object at 3kph would have moved things around more.

    Hyundai kia oil filter cut open at 6,600 miles and 13 months on filter, 40,000 miles engine.

    Yeah it's got 2% gas in the oil but that 5w-30 is also at least 10% 20w-50 by the time I dumped it. I guess these engines are just hard on the oil.
