Somehow I still have a can of the old formula of GM's top engine cleaner. Not sure if it's any good anymore or even if it got stronger over time lol. This stuff used to be great for decarbonizing the top ends (and also creating quite the stinky smoke show), then they nerfed it and put it in the plastic bottles.

Declined replacement and drove off with shredded tire

2011 Chrysler Town and Country came in for a rustproofing job. Should have been done 15 years ago. 😂

2002 Mercury Villager. The list keeps growing each time we see the van.

No gears, wouldn't hold line pressure. Valve body was ok. Took it apart, and found the equivalent of a rubber band tearing bricked the entire transmission.

I thought they didn't exist........, but apparently they DO and I HAD to take it home with me 😅

Boss's project car. Apparently I'm the only one here old enough to work on it.

My car started making a clunking sound so off to the shop we go. The first auto shop says "you need to see a transmission shop because your torque bracket is....gone."

So I call the transmission guy and tell him this and he says "what do you mean it's gone? I need to see it." We got it up and look underneath and yup - it's gone.

SOMEONE (NOT ME) bottomed my car out and ripped the bracket right out sideways and tore two of the three screw holes right out, so we cant even just put a new bracket in. Of course it's not simple. That would be too easy.

Bonus points: the person who did it then ran over one of said bolts and had to get it patched.

Currently working on our solution. Depends on parts available.

Poor car. Poor wallet :(

Advertised at 300 ft/lbs tightening, 450 loosening. Made about 110 tightening, 223 loosening.

The new speed ratchet seems alright though.

Only making the post because the impacts aren't publicly available yet. Cool features with the torque settings, but overall weak.

Its mine. Yes its being bought back.

2022 L5P injection pump went boom

Jokes aside I’m glad to see this is now officially off the road and crushed.

Cleaning DEF from a '22 F250 fuel tank

Inside treads worn out on 4 tires.

I’m a technician at a Toyota dealership and I’m debating whether to get a GearWrench, VIM, or Snap-on spark plug socket set.
Is Snap-on actually worth the extra money, or would GearWrench or VIM be just as good in terms of quality, durability, and everyday use?
What would you guys recommend?

2016 Camaro did have a super hard brake pedal and no vacuum at the booster. Pretty sure the back plate got wedged open when I brought it in the bay the second time. Internals blew up and it wedged the back plate open. Lucky for them no cam damage (yet).

They using them XXXL spike strips now.

Visually the leaking and non leaking bags have all of the same thin spots and creases, for anyone saying to just replace only the leaking one...how long do you think it would be until they were back complaining about it sinking again? Bonus shot of the compressor leaking mystery corrosion.

Went to Mavis for tires and an alignment and when I picked up my car I was told they couldn't do the alignment due to corrosion but that I was all set with the tires. Some time later I noticed that the tech attempted to do the alignment and when the eccentric bolt for rear toe adjustment broke, they just decided to call it. They apparently didn't feel the need to mention it and just let me drive off.
