    Stellantis negative sentiment

    We have rented a Chrysler Pacifica, it drove great, rode great, was very comfortable an got great mpg. The rear carpet was detaching and pulled away from the trim like it was too small, but other than that it was impressive. The guy at the rental place said they all do that and the Pacifica...

    Poor quality work when brake work done; Nasty surprise last night

    Absolutely! I know of two seasoned decent auto techs that are no longer with us due to the "thing", and I don't know that many auto techs anymore. I am sure the industry lost countless of decent seasoned techs because of that thing. That knowledge that a seasoned tech has takes years to replace...

    Poor quality work when brake work done; Nasty surprise last night

    People are missing one big thing, the automotive industry has lost many good techs due to the pay and working conditions in the automotiverepair industry. I left over 15 years ago, I make an hourly wage now and am eligible for overtime pay after 40 hours, my work is easier and I don't have to...

    Septic Tank Service

    That seems cheap, I spent 300 or so to have a 1000 gallon tank pumped 10 years ago and the tank had a riser, part of the cost here was the nearest facility that will accept the waste is 45 miles and an hour away.

    Furnace Run Time

    Its easier on the furnace to cycle less. We have a 2 stage 90 plus gas furnace and its minus 5 out here today, it has been running in stage one non stop maintaining temperature, less expanding and contracting of the heat exchanger so that should help it last longer. On some thermostats you can...

    Water heater upper element not turning on, is this normal?

    So you mentioned you are on a well, probably on a septic also, tell us about your septic, is there a lift pump, grinder or aerator? I have seen those malfunction or stick on in turn using a lot of unneeded electricity

    RIP 3.3L F-150

    I had a 3.3 as a rental truck before, I liked the 3.3, adequate power, no turbos to deal with and reasonable fuel economy.

    Why do some Crank and Cam Pulleys/Sprockets use a taper fit?

    So the Ford Taurus SHO with the Yamaha engine used a taped fit on the cam sprockets and eventually they would come loose and trash the engine. The Hellcats have a taper fit on the crank pulleys and they are known to spin. My question is why do some manufacturers use a taper fit and not have a...

    Delayed Possession After Closing Thoughts?

    So buying a place, it worked out that the seller needs some time before moving out, and we don't necessarily need to be in right away. The seller got 3 other offers, all at asking price, our offer was 10k less with fast closing and possession 3 weeks after closing. I have done delayed...

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    We tried many times over the years to speak to him, he would always run away if we waved to him. One time I had a package of his that got delivered to my house by mistake, I brought it over there and knocked on the door, he peeped out of the blinds and that was it, he never came to the door...

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    The thing is there is always a possibility that we could end up with a worse neighbor in a new location. That seems highly unlikely at this point though, this one is up there on the nastiness scale.

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    Well, I believe so, however not sure how to really tell. This is the first time in my life I ever actually had to use a lawyer for anything.

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    IDK if its legal here to video a neighbor's property, I believe it is, the problem is much of his property is not visible from mine. The state agency responsible generally works with the for departments to get reports that will hold up to charge offenders. Unfortunately our local VFD seems get...

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    It would be really hard to capture everything on video, we both have 4 acre properties and you can't see a lot of his from our property.

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    I will say he got a speeding ticket and posted a picture of it on his fake facebook account, he drew tic tac toe squares on it and played tic tac toe on it crossing out most of the identifying information, it was very strange for an almost 70 year old man to do that.

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    This is my thought, we had actually offered him to use our garbage can. I would gladly pay 23 a month to make everything ok. I also believe he is jealous of me is I have a job that many other blue collar workers envy. I also have what many consider to be a nice house and properrty and I did it...

    Anything is easier when you don't have a choice.

    Very good point. I actually offered for him to throw away his garbage in our can free of charge and he wouldn't do that. I wonder if I paid for the service and he had his own can and everything if he would use it. I would pay it in a split second if it would diffuse the situation. I may...
