    Work SHOES? Any recommendations

    I’m 6’4” and 220lbs. Technically yes, but not terribly overweight. The lightest I’ve been is about 200 but I don’t have the time to be in the gym 6 days a week anymore.

    Work SHOES? Any recommendations

    I tried 2 podiatrists to see if I could get more out of them, but they just tell me to wear supportive shoes with different insoles installed. One specifically recommended “redithotics” that she sells. One taped my foot up like an athlete and said just buy good shoes (come to find out he is a...

    Aisin Honda water pump any good?

    Weird. My 03 accord with the k24 had the original water pump till I traded it in at 270something thousand miles. That is unless the original owner ever replaced it before I bought it at 90k.

    Work SHOES? Any recommendations

    I’m an automotive mechanic. I’m on a hard concrete floor almost all 8 hours of my day unless I’m towing or making road repairs. 39 years old, 6’4” 220lb guy with plantar fasciitis in one foot pretty bad that I can’t shake, fractured my back in a couple few places last year that still bothers me...

    Durango oil filter/cooler housing leaking again :-(

    Coolant temp and oil pressure sensors. Intake plenum and manifold seals. The coolant hose that comes off the oil cooler is usually oil contaminated and swollen if the leak is that bad, I just always get one and replace it. Jug of coolant if you’re going to drain it. Oil for an oil drain...

    2013 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder Valve adjustment, necessary?

    I’d be surprised if they even go that far as to put a fan on it and try to cool it at all.

    Lexus GX460, even mature platforms have issues?

    Our 2022 palisade (had been out a couple few years by this model year at least) had driveline vibrations that they couldn’t figure out. I finally found a shop (after using 3 other local Hyundais) that I could speak with the lead tech and get on the same page / avoid the middle man who had no...

    I bought my first proper scan tool 🥰

    Do all of your autels require to be online while using? We have a nice one at work, but ever since one tech got ahold of it and took it home it will not work unless online. We don’t have access to our wifi at work so we can’t get it online which renders it useless. You can tell it you’re online...

    Aluminum Dorman Pentastar V6 oil cooler unavailable anywhere...except at "storedorman.com"...scam?

    5w20 semi synthetic or 5w30 (unsure if semi synthetic or regular oil) depending on which dispenser the tech chooses to dump in it. They’re both Duralene bulk oil. At first we were running them on 6 month intervals. Now we supposedly still are, but we typically only see them in about every 18...

    Aluminum Dorman Pentastar V6 oil cooler unavailable anywhere...except at "storedorman.com"...scam?

    We’ve had to replace the some of the dormans we’ve been putting on already. Most of them haven’t even come due for another scheduled service and our drivers are too stupid / irresponsible to flag the vehicles for leaking, burning smells, oil lights, etc. so we don’t know they’re leaking till...

    Jeep Rear Main Seal Leak

    And trusted shop of not (they seem thorough and good given they yanked the trans to get a better look) but there’s room for error in any seal installation. A Jeep 2 piece rear main is a bit tricky when you aren’t used to them.

    Jeep Rear Main Seal Leak

    Likely not the problem as you’re seeing some wear on the crankshaft, but replace your crankcase ventilation valves atop the valve cover. My 96 XJ leaked out of the (original) rear main but cleared up after I replaced the valve cover gasket and vent valves. It made it till it was totaled at...

    I’m aware of that. It’s only up there when we need it.

    2024 Honda Odyssey

    In our 2023 odyssey I can manage mid 20s, about 25-26 with loaded cargo and roof box and we don’t drive slow…about 75mph. Unloaded we don’t get alot better, but I’ve seen close to if not 30 on a trip where we didn’t have more than a couple suitcases. Typical mom bomb around town we usually sit...

    2014 Chrysler T&C suspected oil cooler leaking

    I wouldn't trust a no name cooler or sensors either. OEM sensors and whatever cooler assembly has the best track record (if it’s the cooler leaking, it probably is). At your mileage, I’d do the spark plugs with what Chrysler put in it originally. NGK is correct I believe. I wouldn’t worry...

    2005 CRV starter replacement - What else to do?

    Easier to just remove the intake and not be frustrated. I looked at skipping the intake removal, but on a car I’m not super familiar with since I don’t work on them day in and day out, I took the route of no frustration. I’m a mechanic and have all the tools, but it wasn’t worth it to me. Intake...

    Interval for Rear Drum Brake Clean/Adjust

    It was included in 15k services on vehicles that had them when I worked on Chrysler / Jeeps. I pulled drums and dumped the dust every tire rotation on my Jeep. Did a full clean and adjust periodically whenever I felt like it, but dumping the dust so often made a full service in-necessary very...

    2005 CRV starter replacement - What else to do?

    Clean the intake plenum that you remove and clean the throttle body (I left throttle body in the car since coolant goes through it). Get a new intake plenum gasket and throttle body gasket if you’re so inclined, but mine at over 200k seemed fine (I had replacements and used them, but from what I...
