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

Anybody ever deal with free promotions on Amazon? Ordered a tool that had a free battery promotion, tool arrived, no coupon or anything for a free battery.

Classic B and 8 mixup. 

 

I bought it because my PS41BN can't take off Tundra and Tacoma skid plate bolts, and everyone has Milwaukee so I didn't want to get those. Was really close to getting a Milwaukee though. 

 

I don't think this can pull off lugnuts. Only at 85 ft lb. Its more for light under hood work. Valve cover bolts, bracket bolts, etc.

Why didn't you get the Milwaukee though?

Already had Bosch tools + batteries and I like them. Nothing against Milwaukee, just that everyone has them and I'd have to engrave all of my batteries and tools.

I suppose. I was gonna trade all my battery tools and shit to go to snap on. Now that I'm working again and theres still no snap on dealer here I made that choice.

 

I do want to upgrade to the bosch 2.5 AH batteries if this tool works out.

@vetali got a kinda issue with the van maybe you can help me out.

 

so when my presses the brake, the entire car seems to pulse forward and back like my mom is constantly taking her foot off and on, even when she's constantly on the brake. is it a brake issue or more of a suspension issue because it seems to happen most when my mom brakes and merges into a turn lane.

kinda figured. i only noticed it today, might need more driving in couple days to confirm it's still pulsing. and how would they even warp anyway? they can't possibly get too hot from much in town driving can it?

lug nuts that have uneven torque or holding the brake on while the rotors are hot, which you have to get them pretty hot for that to happen. Most of the time its uneven torque.

hmm that i find quite strange. the last time i ever removed the front rims (this van only has front discs, no rear discs) was when I believe the tires were replaced by america's tire, and they know to torque the lugs to spec. I honestly doubt they would be that unevenly torqued, unless something happened as it's being driven.

Drums can warp too.

 

They likely used torque sticks. Torque sticks do not torque evenly or to spec.

Hnng. Random fact about the Regera. What looks like the normal exhaust is just an exhaust for heat management. The actual exhaust is found in the middle of the rear diffuser as two vertical slits, one on either side.

Fun fact, if you visit a Toyota dealership and you have an aftermarket floor mat on the drivers side then we have to remove it and place a safety notice in the car.
