What are you working on today?

[Slow Car Sport Mode]

Gradually drain and fill. Keeps the AX4N strong. Mercon V ONLY! Heard these transes hate "super fluids" or anything that is not Mercon V.

Got my eye watching P0191 code.. sometimes the idle lopes a couple hundred RPM (or surge up and down, depending on how you word it.) Suspecting bad gas. Will give it a week or two to see if it runs through and gets back to normal.

Trans fluid level perfect BTW.

It’s that time again…

 

[mattd]

Finished up the 6R140 and reinstalled in the truck (2017 F550), sorry not more photos was just working somewhat quickly

I WAS working our large paper shredder (I found a stash of classified docs) but once inside I found a sheared shaft. Not worth it. Threw it in the neighbor's yard and ordered a new one.

 

[researcher]

Installed a new 12 inch subwoofer plus stuffed the roughly 2 ft.³ sealed sub enclosed box with poly-fill then readjusted the gain/input sensitivity and LP pass fq's on the JL audio amp.. sounds really great, and can hit if you want it to! & huge shout out to @researcher for his detailed responses in my audio thread and no pun intended "amping" me up

hey you're welcome for the help! Glad you're enjoying the deep dive into car audio!

Apparently a DTE of 0 means 1.5 gallons left
Because I can't be late to work
It's a 17.5 gallon tank, takes 16 gallons to fill

 

[Kennedy01]

Today I stayed home and did some work on my 2004 Silverado. Replaced rear brake rotors, pads, calipers and hoses and also did a partial transmission fluid change with an extractor through the dipstick tube.

 

[Kennedy01]

That's all ?

That's all for this go around. It'll probably be in for an oil change in the next few weeks.

This is valuable data

I’m rather surprised at how large the Tcase is compared to the trans itself. Is the TC really that large, or is the transmission smaller than most?

Both are good size. Trans is 350 lbs or so by itself

Had to abort my mission. I could NOT get the FL-820S on the Taurus.

And the last two pics shown radiator totally buried in bodywork, not that anyone (from last year) would DARE admit I was right on that observation. The tank is not on the radiator like a radiator cap. The reservoir is still the most accessible point.

Going to a car wash, seeing if P2197 keeps on or goes away (I suspect bad gas.)

Maybe @53' Stude will get that one. I was lied to last year. It's actually a brand new FL820S. Just wouldn't fit.. was too big. Maybe an FL400S would. The Supertech MP7317 did as did a Fram..

I'm cleaning up the oil now. Might be a little on the dark side. I suppose it has done some cleaning.

Disconnecting battery for half hour and reconnecting may very well have solved issue.

 

[michaelluscher]

Absolutely nothing, because I donated
Last time I tried working on a car after a blood donation, I collapsed on the driveway, and my sister totalled the car

This time around, I'll take it easy on the weekend
And enjoy free , it do hit different

 

[Barkleymut]

replacing the front right caliper on my Mustang - it has been dragging. Got a new / rebuilt Motorcraft that arrived via RA yesterday. The Raybestos pads and rotors arrived today. I hate working on brakes, hope everything goes smooth.

 

[Kennedy01]

Huh?

Isn’t the right way to change it from underneath?

Thus the car on ramps?

Yet you dump oil on the ground???!?

Is this the right filter model for the vehicle? Have you ever changed the filter on this car before??!?

Bad gas just isn’t a thing. You have an old car with a CEL. Something has failed. No amount of battery disconnect and posting that you got bad gas is going to fix physical, electrical, and catalytic issues.
