Yea

 

I don't understand what kind of OSHA rep certified you.

 

Im the best kind

 

Nope ii was a 10 hour in person course

 

Took the Tacoma into a shop today $200 later and have new grounds/terminal cables (positive cable was on my to do list) and no more electric problems. Not too bad. Also got my clutch done on the WRX for $380.

 

I had to tale it in school

 

Nope clutch was at the dealership, they already had to replace the flywheel for a TSB so they asked if I wanted to replace the pressure plate and clutch disk @ cost (no labor as it was covered under the TSB flywheel replacement). Clutch had 75k miles on it, sure it had more life on it but not going to get a better deal than that anytime soon.

 

I really don't care lol

 

They replaced a decent amount of stuff, another shop had previously quoted $400 for the cables, so didn’t feel too bad at $200. I’m fine doing mechanical parts, I hate working on electrical stuff. I always let the magic smoke out of the wires somehow.

They also had to diagnose it, so don’t feel too robbed. Yeah I could have spent a weekend swearing at it and chasing stuff but way easier to spend the cash.

 

My snappys have been winged across the room a time or two.

 

Oh yeah. Only when they're rebuild able like that

 

Woah.... lots of snappy stuff is rebranded other tools from other countries

 

And thats why you buy good tools, so they can be winged around a few times and still work lol

 

have any of the serious off-roaders ever cracked/fractured an engine mount?

 

would it be noticeable upon a visual inspection? or would there be very serious driveability issues if it were fractured

maybe MT transmission mount?

it would be nice if this rattle is just all in the driveshaft, would possibly give me the bestest opportunity to get driveshafts all nice and powdercoated

 

but it could be the ECM from an old discovered TW thread
i have no clue what's involved in diagnosing if that is my issue

 

Idk about flex head but the rachet wrench set made by gear wrench I got from sears is nice

 

No but ive heard it happem. I think someone use to make beefy mounts to weld to the frame. Or maybe this is for a different truck. Idk

 

sears would not replace one of my little ratchets that got frozen stuck it was a giftset from my pops long time ago, i was bummed they would not replace it with exact looking one to match the set on their lifetime guarantee
