Powershift posted:Ford friction modifier smells and tastes like absolute death. Please don't remind me. It's somehow worse than the GM or Mopar stuff, and I didn't know that was possible. Now, the new GM synthetic gear oil by itself? Smells like grape soda. Insanity.

Just found this on reddit and can't figure out a way to get a direct video link on my phone: Turns out if you try hard enough, you can money-shift an Allison. Some quotes from the op: quote:Driver somehow got the trans to go into 1st gear while going downhill in a utility truck. Grenaded the engine, trans, and even sent a piece of bellhousing through the passenger side floorboard and blew out one of the windows. quote:
quote:The best part is that there were 12 holes. Every rod busted through both sides of the block. The oil pan looked like the Tin Man's undies after taco Tuesday.

`Nemesis posted:looks like you're about to get a new condenser at minimum, that thing is hosed That'd be the evaporator, but yeah, it was hosed sometime in the 1970s. That thing is positively ancient. If it's icing up, there's plenty of other issues already. Defrost timer not working, defrost heaters not working (if it has them - it doesn't look like it does), door being left open, low refrigerant charge all come to mind. You can straighten the fins out a good bit, but (speaking an an armchair HVAC guy anyway) I'd be looking for a full changeout anyway. Not only is it older than most HVAC techs, it's probably blowing the wrong way (unless the fan is reversed) and sucking down more power than most city blocks. You never blow toward the wall; fans usually pull through the fins, not push, and the fan is usually blowing OUT of the box. chrisgt posted:Oh poo poo, you're right. I always have to stop and think that one, but to be fair, the tool is called a condenser comb. Not sure if I've ever heard it called an evaporator comb. I've always heard it called a fin comb. namlosh posted:I’ll never forget working for a lawn service as a kid weed whacking and hitting the fins on a condenser outside and seeing them immediately bend as if by magic from the spinning wire. It was only much later that I realized and felt bad about it At least you left the fins. There's several condensers in my apt complex missing a massive chunk of fins from dogs pissing on them. I think the fact they're so drat old/overbuilt is the only reason they still work decently. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 03:27 on May 13, 2023 |

That's nothing. My cousin manage to let the front u-joint on his truck go long enough that it wore through one side of the bearing cap, and eventually dropped the driveshaft. Fortunately, while he was stationary, just pulling out. Had to find him a new transmission yoke, since it had started eating into that, as well.

When I worked at a repair shop i saw all kinds of these failures. Had a car come in for an ABS light on, it was scary to drive in the parking lot at 10mph. A rear wheel bearing had eaten so far into the knuckle that it destroyed the ABS sensor. Who cares if the car is all over the road and makes a TERRIBLE sound, don't take it to the mechanic until some light yells at you!

buttcrackmenace posted:is the body controller smart enough to only blow the airbags on the side of the car that suffered the impact? Its within the airbag control module and yes it has an imu so it knows which direction the vehicle is sliding and how it came to a very abrupt stop. The bcm is a stupid potato that handles things that never get used like turn indicators.

He's not the worst, but he does tolerate a lot more than I would. The '87 F-150 (300-6, manual trans) this happened on was well worn, and I'm not sure the driveshaft vibration was entirely noticeable...

A long while ago my boss made me play frogger to pick up the driveshaft the work van pooped out on the highway after the U joint bearings completely let go. Of course it had felt like a paint shaker riding in it for months before that.
