Two Finger posted:thanks for reminding me i still need to work out how to cold smoke with the weber It's easy.  The can had one or two charcoal briquettes and some wood chips (I used hickory) in it. I ended up wrapping the can with foil, to keep the temps down. Putting a pan of ice under the cheese works, too.

Is someone really being into Landmark a red flag. Doesn't seem like a blatant MLM, but some components? Someone can probably explain it better than I can, but you've mostly all probably heard of it. I never had 🤷🏽♀️

ElMaligno posted:on a scale of gently caress me to alright, how bad is it that I want to buy a used jeep wrangler? I've been in plenty of Wranglers and I can see why people like them, but I'd never get one for myself, if that makes sense. It has its own niche and there's really nothing that directly competes against it. But yeah, the wafer-thin sheet metal on the doors bulge inwards if you push on it gently with your finger. The plastic fender flares feels like they could be shattered by an errant shopping cart. The interior feels like it was it cobbled together with plastics from the bargain bin at Wal-Mart combined with 1990's electronics. It's loud, uncomfortable, slow, and sucks down fuel like the space shuttle. Sure is great for off-roading though. Plus, they hold their value like loving crazy, so even a used one in decent shape is  orange juche posted:Hot loving garbage. They moved their manufacturing plants from the US to Mexico sometime in the mid 2000s and the build quality since then is dog poo poo. Wranglers are built in Toledo, Ohio. The only US market vehicle FCA assembles in Mexico is the new gen Compass IIRC. edit: pretty sure the Ram 2500/3500 are built in Mexico too?

ElMaligno posted:Penfed has used car buying services, also they offer free carfax reports. This week I rolled 100,000 on my '12. At about 50k my heater started blowing cold air, and I washed about 2" of mud (thanks factory!) out of the overflow bottle. The fix is to replace everything removable that the coolant flows through. Radiator, thermostat, hoses, and heater core, which requires you to do this:  Jeep has been using the same known-to-be-faulty clockspring in the steering column since 2007...same part number, no new revisions. A clockspring is an electrical connector that allows your steering wheel buttons to connect to the wiring harness without a poo poo-ton of wires getting tangled when you turn the wheel. They're trash, and every year Jeep extends the warranty on that part, because every year there are enough failures of the part (because they're still the same trash) and it causes airbag problems. I'm on my fourth cruise control switch because they get toasted the second or third time I try to use it. I suspect the clockspring, but because I don't have an airbag light on, I'm SOL. 2012-13 had a cylinder head defect that could lead to loud (louder than usual) valvetrain noise, a check engine light, and a misfire in cylinder 2. The third revision (part number end: AA, then AB, then AC, etc) solved it early in the 2013 model year. That said, my Jeep is currently in great condition aside from a crack extending the full width of the windshield and the cruise control switch being fried. I love it. Tomorrow I'm changing the spark plugs and checking out some grease points. I expect that next month something stupid will fail and I'll be back here ranting about MOPAR's garbage quality and worse customer service.

Nuclear Tourist posted:Wranglers are built in Toledo, Ohio. The only US market vehicle FCA assembles in Mexico is the new gen Compass IIRC.  doesn't change the fact that any Jeep beyond the early 2000s is literal dogshit. My brother got the last year model before they went to plastic fenders and made the body metal thin as poo poo, and it held up pretty ok but a Wrangler is definitely a niche product and I wouldn't recommend one to someone as a primary vehicle.Thinking back he got in one or two wrecks in the thing and you wouldn't know it except for the replaceable, not part of the body, bumper was newer than the rest of the Jeep. None of the body panels deformed and he didn't have any frame issues with it, because it was body-on-frame and not unibody.

heater core replacement always sounds like such a nightmare, what the gently caress is wrong with manufacturers i swear there's one that puts a hatch in the glove box to get to the heater core I used to have to drop most of the dash on my 2002 impala to futz with my dodgy hardwired aux cable. I got pretty good at it after a while.

I'll give the engineers a little credit: It was a surprisingly straightforward job. The factory service manual was accurate and there were no surprises. It was still a huge pain in the rear end because there's just a ton of work to do, but it wasn't one of those jobs where there were steps missing, or hidden bolts to be hunted down.ElMaligno posted:i am no longer getting a jeep. Replacing the heater core on almost every car ever built is going to be similar. A shop would do it for about 2k, probably. Dealer wanted close to 3k. I did it in a weekend for probably $700, with a higher end aluminum radiator.

But it's an absolute emergency measure and you MUST clear it out of your cooling system as soon as you can fix the leaking part, or it will eat your water pump and block everything else up. So don't use it unless you are stranded in a desert and it's all you've got.
