    Used motor is the easiest/fastest way https://www.car-part.com/mobile/index.htm

  2. Honda experts

    If the concern is engine damage, drain the oil and look for the tell tale sign of glitter. If there’s metal in there, and you really like the car, go with a used motor. By far the easiest solution. Best of luck

    Also, sometimes a brand new tensioner can make noise. If you have a stethoscope, check the tensioner while running. Happened to me twice, not a third. Dorman, Asin and Cloyes make good ones. Although, the tensioner won’t cause a low oil pressure light.

    Make sure the oil pressure switch is actually plugged in. I’ve had to unplug and remove some of those to get the bottom tensioner bolt out. Not out of the question it was overlooked.

  5. So I've put 1900 miles on my truck since I got it a year and a half ago.

    If you drive less than 10-15 miles each time, I’d say change it once a year. If it just sits, I’d let it go a bit longer

    2 PC lug nut issue

    Necessity is the mother of invention. Got a snicker when I saw this on the tool truck the other day. 🤣

    2 PC lug nut issue

    19mm or 3/4 sae. Whichever fits better. Doesn’t matter if you loose the chrome cap, they’ll come of with enough leverage (or a 3/4 impact gun)

    Oil dilution in Honda 1.5l engines

    Yep, I’ve run into a few of these. Also to include the dreaded P0172, rich B1. The 1.5 has had known issues with the injectors. With the direct injection and extremely high fuel pressure for delivery, they still haven’t gotten a handle on it yet. Injector replacement has been the solution, but...

  9. Engine & Transmission on a 2002 Silverado

    It has always been less expensive to repair than replace. $3000 for a transmission (at the high end), compared to a new car payment, in 6 months you broke even. The 2000-2006 gm trucks have been some of the best I’ve seen. I’d replace the transmission and enjoy the lack of car payments.

  10. 2012 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2 worse gas mileage. No codes or check engine light.

    Does your scanner have the ability to read data? If so, check the short and long term fuel trim. You want to see it in the +or - single digits. If it isn’t, it’s running rich/lean with the computer trying to compensate.

    Heat Effecting Cars?

    Anything above 85 or below 40 will wreak havoc on batteries, alternators and even water pumps. Having one explode like that is very uncommon. Definitely an internal short caused it. I’m actually surprised a Dekra battery lasted that long, I stopped selling those 25+ years ago. Today, if you get...

  12. Ecoboost timing chain issues...

    I’d definitely would get a couple of estimates. If they’re replacing the chains, guides, tensioners and the phasers, it’s gonna be expensive. Not sure about 5K expensive, but get prices from credible resources who have experience with these.

  13. Just a reminder

    It does happen. Hopefully it wasn’t 8+ qts of Mobil 1 full synthetic all over the floor $$🙄$$

    What are these pins that come with lower ball joint?

    Crown Vic and grand marquis have press in lower ball joints. The uppers are bolt in. Unless you get the complete control arm. Gunanddoglover is correct on the dust shield rivets. I normally remove the whole knuckle when I service those. So, no need to remove the dust shield.

  15. Mevotech?

    I’ve used them from time to time as an “economical” solution for customers. Haven’t had any issues with them.

  16. Pull my hair our wiring problems....

    Like lostchild posted, bring it back to the builder and have them check it out. Not questioning their ability, something may be at fault in the cluster. Bench testing the unit should reveal any issues.

    Best investment I ever made for car maintenance

    Many euro cars IE BMW, Volvo, Mercedes have the electronic parking brakes. Starting to see them in Asian and a handful of US builds now. Usually faster to put the brakes in “service mode” with a scanner. But great job finding a way for the average person to do it at home. 👍🏼

    4.3L Vortec Lower Intake Gasket Replace and MPFI Upgrade

    Great write up. I’ve lost count of how many of those 4.3 and 5.7 intakes I’ve done. Those damn plastic/silicone gaskets just never lasted as long as we hoped. That was a great idea changing from the spider to the MPFI. Those poppets were often unreliable/unpredictable. Great job! 👍🏼

  19. How do you drain the fuel tank using the fuel pump on a 2012 Yukon?

    Before we go putting the cart before the horse… if you can, put a fuel pressure gauge on it, should be at least 55-60 psi. If not, check for power at the module output to the pump, should be 12v or around there. If you have both, then it’s a bad pump assy. If it’s the fuel control module, it...

  20. How do you drain the fuel tank using the fuel pump on a 2012 Yukon?

    You could, just be careful of the pin out. Engineers do this to piss us off and make us money at the same time because of failure. They had the ABS module under there as well. Only lasted 2-3 years in the salt belt.
