    Of the ~4 or 5 codes I've thrown over the years those 2 were the worst, or took the longest to resolve I should say. Especially the p0171 which ended up being a tiny vacuum leak. I replaced my cats with those exact same Magnaflows a couple years ago and they cleared the 420 code and have worked great since, for what it's worth lol.

    did their brake lights malfunction? or can you provide more deets!?
    this like totally almost happened to me yesterday trying to get off my exit with backed up traffic ahead and several big dodge Rams behind not slowing down enough to let my little truck over a couple lanes on the shittiest pavement for going more than the posted limit

    Lifted F150 in front veered to the left to miss the stopped traffic. I slammed my brakes on, abs kicked in, got hit from behind then me into the car in front and one in front of that. Was only going 35mph but doesn't take much. All 4 cars, noones airbag went off.



    Frame is only bent on the passenger side the front 6 inches (the "crumple" portion). It's really not too bad, didn't touch the radiator/engine compartment etc.

    These are not considered damage multipliers. The cheap Westin "Bull Bumper" add ons are the ones that crush everything in the engine compartment.

    Ehhh... that definitely bent the front frame horns. Enough to total? Hopefully not. Pull it straight again and you should be good to go

    As stated above, just the passenger side and it's not too bad at that

    Probably not the place or people I should ask this but oh well.


    Anyone ever use the PayPal credit thing? I know debt is bad.

    Obviously it wouldn’t take 2 years to pay back.

    Yeah it does suck, unfortunately with bi-annual emissions testing I can't get away with resetting it for long lol. Mine got to where it would come on constantly though. At first it was only in 4wd on hills too, went on for about a year iirc before it got worse.

    you cannot beat the 0% if balance paid in full by a certain time
    that 26.24% usury rate (bottom paragraph) can suffocate you after awhile if you let it linger

    I do. Just make sure it's paid in full before interest is incurred. It will be on the purchase price and not just what you still owe. I think it's only orders over $100 that qualify, just something to keep in mind.

    So before 24 months have passed in this case?

    I’d be buying tires so definitely over $100
