    Tokyo department stores are on a whole new level for hardware...

    Orchards Supply Hardware was like that. Everything was on a peg hook in a sealed baggy.

    Are vehicle owners leaving their tow ball in place subject to to insurance fraud?

    A long time ago I used to work at a car wash. You're going around the truck drying the truck off. When you get to the back of the truck, your shin finds the trailer hitch. The pain is no joke.

    Teslas are becoming the new Camrys.

    They seem to be a point A to B car. If you have unintentional consequences happen and need to add in a point C and D, you may not have enough battery charge to cover point C and D.

    3.6 Pentastar purge valve/misfire issues

    It could be a fix for the first possibility, but it's not going to prevent the second possibility of the needle bearings falling out. That's a design issue with the cam followers.

    3.6 Pentastar purge valve/misfire issues

    There's two different possibilities from what I gather watching YouTube. Either the camshaft lobes wear out by themselves, or the needle bearings fall out of the cam followers consequently wiping out the cam lobes. This has been going on for years and years.

    3.6 Pentastar purge valve/misfire issues

    That's typical for a Chrysler Pentastar V6. Their camshafts are always wearing out and the needle bearings in the cam followers fall out. The engine has four camshafts that are about $300 a piece just for the cost of each camshaft themselves.

    AC question: pull vacuum on service hoses before connecting?

    So that means the manifold valves don't prevent the refrigerant from entering the manifold from the canister, but only prevent the refrigerant from leaving the manifold; correct?

    AC question: pull vacuum on service hoses before connecting?

    Are the manifold valves open as you're cracking the hoses at the gauges? Refrigerant canister valve open too?

    I don't like the looks of a square drive on a chrome socket after it's been used on an impact for so long.

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    All of those items you mentioned are way more reliable than a complicated car that can leave you stranded at the worst possible time.

    Under hood rat damage to 2025 Canyon

    No. Because plastic is a few pennies cheaper than rubber and saves the manufacturer $5.00 over a production run of 100,000 vehicles.

    Looks like one of those plastic tubes GM uses because they're cheaper than a rubber hose.

    That's the whole point. If you can't maintain them yourself, why have them?
