Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I don't know anything about Florida other than I've been to some stuff around Orlando a few times and fuck that city and trying to walk anywhere.

 

I get to do a left rear wheel bearing pretty soon on the GF's Escape, it's making noise pretty good but no play. Some noise in the other side just starting but worst first. Also needs trailing arm bushings like they all do. I should check the alignment after replacing the bushings.

 

I'm planning on hitting Tail of the Dragon in 2023 again, a friend is flying into an airport on my way down there and I'm picking him up and we'll cruise down and he can dragon my car while I try not to puke in the passenger seat. My mom lives in Knoxville and knows some of the area but she's not a car person so much, what else is a good drive around there that's sort of less heavily traffic'd?

 

Oh and I hand un-torqued this today ????? with just a long breaker bar and a pipe ?????? I am not a big strong guy or a big guy or a strong guy. I use power tools as much as possible to do the work for me. I have 4 different air hammers because I'm lazy.

Uh whut? No way was that 406 lb-ft when it left the factory LOL it came loose way too easily. F250's aren't my favorite front suspension jobs to do but they're not bad, most still comes apart pretty OK and punching the ball joints out with my air hammer is ALWAYS fun because BZZZZTTTT and it's out.

Where's the door to your house?
I don't see it in there.

If I ever pop in for a visit I'd like to not get lost in there and also not have the shop/housedog (Spotty?) chasing me around.

"GRRRRRR" 😳

About to steal car radiator to WC my pc

Honestly Pc radiators usually have a better design for their application that makes them more efficient + you can get them in copper to avoid mixing metals 

 

car radiators are usually cheapishly made and outside of just being able to hold together for a long while, not that efficient. They are just big 

 

+ you’ll need a big and probably noisy pump to make it work

Used to be you could get them in copper, I know heatercores alot of the time were made from copper too but sadly it's all cheaply made plastic/potmetal these days.
