Oh, I was talking about propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, the primary ingredients, but different companies could use different sweeteners in their flavors. I've never had to since PG is already so sweet

Shut the gently caress up about your god drat robot penises you fedora wearing fucks. Vapers are like vegans, bring it up and they don't shut the gently caress up about it because everybody they know in real life has heard it 30 times and doesn't care, and strangers naturally steer clear due to the stench. All they have left is to hijack discussions on interesting topics in an attempt to "win over" people who don't loving care.

It certainly looks like a paradise for working conditions. Although absolute pain in the rear end I'm sure. Even on my 70's IH it would take an entire day to disconnect everything, although that may be rust related.

I wouldn't reuse the pinion nut (they're staked locknuts) but the pinion yoke looks pretty alright to me :v:

I was suggesting they had already re-used the pinion nut, and it loosened up causing the pinion to hit the carrier.


You can see how it chewed into the carrier for quite a while, i'm guessing it made a hell of a noise for a few miles before the big bang.

If you have a lift, it's a 4-6 hour job. You need to drain the cooling system, AC and power steering.

Pulling the motor is about the same length of job.

So it really depends on what you're doing to decide what's the least unfunckingreasonable service option.

I bet the customer complaint was 'rough idle.' My guess was that the oil squirter jet was plugged/blocked but the reddit thread said the fuel injector leaked bad enough to kill the piston.

Ahh, I missed that. I've reused pinion nuts, but only after squashing them a little tiny bit in a vise. Had to put it back together that night and it wqs a diff+ratio I could get for 100 at the local yard if it did blow out...

Couldn't you pull the compressor and hydroboost unit off the engine/firewall hang the compressor from a 2x4 across the fenders? I would rather do that than gently caress around with draining the systems, honestly.

I"m sure you could play all kinds of games with that poo poo depending on what's the most rusted and/or what you prefer to deal with.

But the actual takeaway here is: RUN. loving unload it.

They jammed the motor so far into the firewall that it's an unreasonable vehicle to work on. That's a prime candidate for leasing/selling once the factory warranty is up. Except they didn't even last that long because of other stupid design decisions.

Especially when you take into consideration other vehicles of similar cost that perform the same job (seriously, just get an LB7 Duramax truck).

You need to hate yourself to take one of those on as a project.

I believe he is the guy who was internet famous for awhile for letting teens drive cars and trucks like crazy people on his property. The cops tried telling him to gently caress off, which he ignored. Then, evidence surfaced that he was having sexual contact with some of the young teen girls that came along. Classy dude.

Actually he filmed some boy masturbating in the 90's and the kid told his parents and he went to jail for it, got out and when youtube came along, he started putting videos online to become internet famous to reach out to his son that his estranged wife (for good reason) wouldn't let him have any contact with. Then he got in trouble for buying "legal" child porn in the form of nudist videos, but got off on the charge, cause its apparently not porn because "nudism is art". He later got kicked off youtube for uploading multiple videos of himself snowmobiling nude with dong in view of the camera.

Dude is a serious loving creep but his videos and creations were always awesome.

Saw this truck driving the other day. That bed isnt misaligned since it the gap was moving when he hit bumps.

Wondering if he made it to the new shop with his tools before the frame went all taco.

You know when you were a kid and your dad was shaving and you'd pretend-shave beside him because you thought it made you look grown-up?

If I use a real straight-razor and make my own lather with a badger brush then that makes me manly and attractive, even though I have scraggly unkempt hair and I'm 50 pounds overweight. If I wear a fedora it will make me cool and sophisticated, even though I'm wearing it with jorts and a le meme t-shirt. If I smoke an ecig then I look hard-boiled and interesting, even though my baby palate means I have to puff candy-flavored clouds of nicotine water from a robot's dick.

In other news, its a pain in the dick to swap a good brand AT onto a steel rim with tyre irons.

Looking at the tread depth if you went down a gravel road with those at any kind of speed that would explain the puncture. I'm assuming they're down to the wear bars.

Fun Fact: Driving my first car for the first time on my own after getting a license I ran over a switch blade about two blocks from my house. I should've stopped right there with that car, that was only a sign of things to come.

Still 2mm over the wear bars- so 4mm of tread left. Shithouse tyres.
