The Ranger went home today - washed it with Griot’s Ceramic Wax & Wash via foam cannon, installed a new Fram air filter. Owner is happy with it.
Those 1-piece shoes are wild. I’m twitching because the old man in me simply knows that’s not right.Replaced the e brake shoes on my avalanche

We've tried a couple services over the years but my wife just prefers YouTube.. cheap. I hooked the Apple TV 2 up so she can use her AirPods. She loves it.We have Malimar for Thai TV through Roku boxes.
Reminds me of "The Michelin Man hose" on old turbo Audis (Type 44's). That infamous hose would develop a small leak and cause stalling and bad bucking under boost.Pre-trip inspection and maintenance visit on a friend’s 12 Civic 1.8.
Oil change, tire rotation, air filter, cabin filter, coolant drain/refill, battery test, wiper inserts, one headlight bulb and air intake boot. The air intake boots on the R18 12-15 Civics like to split at higher mileage; it is one of those things that are cheap enough to proactively replace.

I would jokingly offer to take some of those lathes off your hands as a favor, but the truth is then I'd just wind up with a space looking like yours.Cleaning this dump today..

Yes that is true. I have 13 total.I would jokingly offer to take some of those lathes off your hands as a favor, but the truth is then I'd just wind up with a space looking like yours.
Oh, man that stinks! I put some AC Delco gold ball joints in my truck around the beginning of last year and one of them is clunking again.Quoting myself from Nov 1 '22: this water pump is now gushing from the weep hole! It was an AC Delco "Gold Professional" from RA.
Gold and Professional my posterior!!
I've previously endorsed and selected this wp because it includes the metal bypass tube which you usually wind up needing 95% of the time, but what a joke.
I can't find any wobble by hand so it's like the seal just failed....
Because Facebook Marketplace?Not knowing much (anything?) about it, what does one do with and why does one need 13 lathes? In my basically complete ignorance I can figure maybe 3-5 but can't get close to double figures so maybe I'm about to learn something.
Worked on this again yesterday and got it going, with a big assist from my dad. For the hanger where I broke off the bolt, I left the old one in place and just drilled a new hole - there was room to put a nut above the spot in the frame where this connects.2010 Nissan Frontier 4L V6
I'm replacing all the exhaust behind the cats on this - luckily no rush because I expected things might go wrong. I got out the 1/2" socket set and used the breaker bar....miraculously, both driver's side nuts easily came off the exhaust studs behind the cat. 5 minutes - this is easy, right?
I quickly ended up rounding off both nuts on the other side. Tool selection was limited but I eventually managed to grind them off with a combination of an under-powered Dremel tool, hand chisels, and an air chisel with a vastly under-powered, tiny air compressor. It took several hours.
I managed to break off a bolt holding one of the hangers in place so will have to drill that out. The studs on the passenger side are also in questionable shape but I'm a bit scared to try to remove them in case I break those too. I do have new ones so I'll think about it. I probably won't get back to this again until next weekend.
