PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

well one time going above the change won’t drastically effect the cars life I don’t think. As long as he doesn’t make a habit of it. I know drive almost 90 miles a day for work so I know how quick they rack up. It’s easy to lose track of when the change is due even for someone diligent with maintenance. Hopefully no long term damage was done, I view this incident as the equivalent of eating a McDonald’s cheeseburger or two once in a while, might not be the best for your long term health but it won’t kill ya

 

Wow that is going to be a pricey repair!

 

I read a story years ago about someone who bought a new Kia Sorento in July 2012 then put 20K miles miles on it over the course of two years without once changing the oil and totally destroyed the engine; The thing was still running, but burning oil at a rate of roughly a quart every 300 miles. Obviously, the warranty was totally voided; I think the owner ended up having to put a new engine in out of pocket.

 

You mean the A/C? Not the worse I've heard; My truck was $1,600 for a new evaporator core, but that was at the stealership...

 

My truck has some newer refrigerant, something like XYZ123 so it's surely expensive AF.

 

R1234yf; Didn't know 2017s had that. My dad's 2018 GMC Yukon has it, and my mechanic can't service it because he doesn't have the equipment.

 

we should just go back to using propane

 

I didn't propane was ever the primary refrigerant; The fridge in my uncle's 1969 Airstream camper cools using propane...

 

the RVs don’t use the propane as refrigerant. I know that they used propane for household back on the day but not sure on automotive. I’m sure it’s gonna kill a few people if a crash happens but more people die a year because of self inflicted health problems anyhow, it’s probably a wash lol

 

My uncle's camper has propane for both the heat and the refrigerator, I'm telling you...

I saw this 1984 Ford Mustang GT350 at a car show this past Sunday; I had no idea there was such a thing as a GT350 Fox Body, but apparently Ford got sued by Carroll Shelby over this and won!

Fox Body; Get it?

 

that’s pretty sweet

 

It didn't originally have A/C though and he had to put that in...

 

I vaguely recall a Mustang SS too but that obviously created a rift with GM and it was cancelled abruptly.
