Northern Virginia Roll Call

Thanks David. Looking at about a month. They just ordered the new frame today.
I’ll hit you up when I get it back. Funny note. They checked the plugs today and it seems they’re the original 2006 spark plugs. That’s a first for me to have plugs that old in a vehicle and still working.

 

Good luck with the surgery. I had cataract surgery on my left eye when I was 44. I could see great the next day.

 

I guess but want to keep it small. Not enough room haha

 

I bought my 05 with 168k miles and it had original plugs. They were shot!! I changed them right away.

 

I'm in Leesburg (for @TheDad - I know you know where I live David) and I'll come lend a hand. I think I have one frozen up as well so it will be good to see what it takes before I dive into mine.

I can ride my bike if it's on the road by then so as not to take up room.

 

Morning fellas
Now if only the weather would make up its Damn mind!!!

 

$1500

 

As long as the bar still has power Saturday night for college football that's all I need. Doubt there will be anything too crazy happening up here though.

 

Low pressure at every sink? Sounds like you have a restriction in the line. If it is everywhere, check where your main comes into the house. If you have had work done recently and the water valved off, the main valve may have not been reopened fully or broke partially open. Also could have had crap come in from the main and caused a partial blockage.

 

When they say seized, were they referring to the caliper? Cause even if the caliper is seized, I don't see how replacing would add up to 1700.

 

Definitely change those out. Passenger side is a breeze. Driver side is a little more of a tight fit, but still can get to em easily enough. DIY and save a bundle.

Bottom right doesn't even look like there's anything left
Edit: and is that oil on the threads for top right?

 

Because the book dealers use says replacing both calipers, rotors and pads costs that much.

That has little bearing on actual costs or time a good mechanic needs to do the job.

 

Back when I was skinny I climbed. Wife grew up climbing. Was the youngest female to climb Devils Tower for awhile. She got me into it when we met.

 

might as well go with the GX470 brake swap

Fuck if I know! I was very new to working on the truck when I changed those so I didn't think to maintain the cylinder order or closely look at each plug.

 

At least you changed them
Another reason why i just prefer to buy new now. Who knows what the vehicle has been through.

 

Morning gents.

$1700? Fucking stealerships...

I'll lend a hand as well, please keep me in the loop for when you and David are doing the work.

 

It's really not that difficult. The key for bleeding is to only have air in one line at a time, so if you replace the caliper on one side. Bleed that one out first to fill the line, then move to the replacement of the other side.

 

scored a tjm yulara rooftop tent and awning for $500!

downfall is that it doesnt come with a matress, im currently looking for one
