Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Looked at it. It's sitting. Finally this car gets good gas mileage :3

OK got my tails today

Just helped a buddy put new PS pump on his jeep. It seems like I help fix more jeeps than anything around here. Tomorrow I'm doing a drive shaft for someone else. O well money for me

The factory bolts come with lock-tite on them. I had one back completely out. Thankfully it was the lower one so gravity kept it back. Had it been a top one it would have fell forward and jammed in the wheel. There was a rash of incidents of those bolts coming lose at the time mine first happened.

Ok got these with my tails

Any ideas where they go???

Yea they don't really have any with the flare package though... so that sucks. But I found that one so i'll call it good

my aunt's car the bolts backed out.

now stealth, if I could, ask how long it was AFTER you had put the bolt in that it backed itself out? I just did brakes as well (and I've had em off a million times before that) and I've never used loctite or anything. What's your opinion?

And to Think i thought i had maybe one hvac bulb out, nope 20 bucks later its all new again.

Just for clarification, its not the caliper bolts themselves, but the bracket bolts. The ones you have to remove to change the rotors. It happened around a week later if I remember right. If I looked back through this thread I could tell you exactly. LOL

For me, only one backed out, but that one backing out, along with the rash of other incidents around the same time is enough evidence for me to use lock-tite on them for now on.

Mine worked fine except it died if I let it sit 4 days. Which is usual. I wanted something with more reserve.

come park that 7 year old battery up here in the cold, it will fail on ya.

So since I started running 93 octane with no ethanol instead of regular cheap gas I've noticed a huge difference. Car responds and runs better....wish I had of used it way earlier

I wish I could get no ethanol gas.

It nice. Its a little more expensive and I only know one place here that has it. But home in TN there's a lot of places with it
