#15: Some manufacturers apparently begin the assembly process with the oil or fuel filter and then construct the remainder of the vehicle around said filter.
I've seen this done in million dollar yachts where the engine is put in and then the hull liner with all the accommodation installed. Servicing the shaft packing gland required major surgery and then repair!
#15 - just lived through that again yesterday. Not only do you have to be a contortionist to reach it, once you unscrew it the last little bit of engine oil leaks out all over the frame and driveway. No way to catch it or stop it. Great.
I put a remote oil filter from a Mercurser boat engine on my pickup & pump the oil out the dipstick like we do on boat's. I don't go underneath the truck anymore.
#10 - Uh, No! $670 per year is about $12.88 per week. You might spend that little if you are retired and never go anywhere, or if your commute is walking to the bus or subway stop. For us normal folks it's more like $80 to $100 per week - or more since Brandon took office.
if you drive 10000 miles a year and get only 10 miles per gallon, at $4 a gallon, thats only $4000 a year, right? and you are getting maybe double the MPG or better
#14 - Still laughing, and before anyone starts with the misogynist crap, my ex-wife curbed every wheel on every car we ever had, yes, even the driver's side. The one way I know this pic isn't her car is that the sidewall is intact.
It was one of her hobbies I think, along with cranking the thermostat.
It's funny how Pete Buttagag never mentions how much it costs to charge an electric vehicle per year, especially when you have to pay PG&E Tier 3 rates.
And #15 gives 1960-1990 engineers entirely too much credit. They've been pissing off mechanics for a lot longer than that.
The really nice ones were the 1960'-70's Detroit Diesels with the canister type that were upside down whereby you could be sure to drop at least a quart of dirty oil down into the bilge
#15 I have a 2004 F250 with a V10 It costs $800,00 to change the spark plugs and $500.00 to put a new oil pan gasket in. I looked the spark plugs up on you-tube and talk about a pain it the ass the spark plugs are buried somewhere it looks like its under the fuel injection system and like it say fuck it. My 1977 bronco with a 302 V8 both were home repairs.

ReplyDeleteHey Peao it worked so well with the heater core that they just said fuck it. We're gonna do the oil filter the same way.

DeleteMy fav is the throttle position sensor located UNDER the engine.

ReplyDeleteI still wouldn't buy an electric car though.

And how much to charge the car...

#20 Everybody knows that foreign oil emits no CO2 when burned.
ReplyDelete#9 what I pray is not dangling there just before I open my eyes in the morning. FJB
ReplyDelete#16 I think they forgot the step where you use it to wipe your backside before you throw it in the trash.

ReplyDeleteThat was so you would not have mosquitos spawning & growing in the bilge.

ReplyDeleteMy 2001 F-150's the same way. I tuned it up myself, but it was a major pain in the ass and probably took 8 hours just to change the fucking plugs.
