What are you boys working on and what are you waiting on? What monkey wrench has been thrown in your lovely weekend plans?For me, I just discovered I need new rear drum cylinders when doing the full brake job and lift on this old tracker. Thank God, Amazon delivers on Sunday.
>>29039920if you've never used zuckbook marketplace don't be surprised if they ghost you. no idea why they never reply when it's not even the stupid "hi is this available" message they get.i swear some of the sellers you could probably say "i will give you 5x your asking price when can i get it" and they'll still never reply lol.

2017 Ram 1500 with 5.7L Hemi.Yesterday it started overheating on the way to work. I stopped and limped it home, got up to 245 before I was able to pull over and cut it off.First thought was themostat is stuck closed. I swapped it out with a new one, did nothing. Noticed the return hose to the radiator was empty, filled the reservoir a little past max. Took it for a spin, no change.I put it on ramps this morning looking to bleed the coolant system, I notice there is coolant sprayed all over the undercarriage. Turn it on with the heat on, can't find a drip. Not sure if it blew when it overheated the first time or what. Get back in to turn it off, guess what, the heat isn't working now. So probably low coolant. Notice again that the return hose is empty but is warmer towards the thermostat.I am going now to get more coolant and will try to bleed it properly, is this a waste of time? I can get a water pump and replace tomorrow.

Do you take road trips or do you just rip around local roads?
>>29032759i live outside the catskills where there are some great roads.the problem is that there are tons of jews in the southern part. they set up new israel there. i can't go anywhere near it because my uncle adolf rages inside. it's not okay.
>>29040312>catskills>the most annoying jews and the most annoying nazis, living togethersounds about righti visited last sept, was pretty hot still, and super dry not a lot of trails with less than 1000 ft elevation gain and good views
>>29040319didn't ask for your opinion, migger jew lover.
>>29040322tribalism is exhaustinganyone playing that game should be brainedim here to see hills and pretty there was one drive I was headed sw to that annoying preserve (mohawk?) where you have to pay money and reserve a time slot to hike and you go through this kinda narrow gap and the narrowness had caused the leaves to start turning a lot more there, that was the prettiest thing I saw
>>29040328If you think tribalism is exhausting, go ahead and move to the very ethnically diverse and enriched country of South africa. It's great!

>>29036753whys this guy such a unbearable faggot?
>>29039939Because he is over educated while having no innate mechanical knowledge or experience which leads him to confidently parrot the information given to him by others, which he sometimes misunderstands and misconveys.
>>29040065No idea why you're spouting this stuff when in fact he and his friend did rebuild the 4AGE in his old AW11 and a bunch of other stuff on the car. He also put R1 carbs on that bitch + turbo'd a 4AFE with no prior mechanical knowledge. He aint no pro, but to claim he has no knowledge is bollocks.t. met him irl and he gifted me some 4age parts
>>29040281He's just mad he could barely pass algebra 2 to get his diploma and has a big ego so "everyone else is dunning-kruger!!1! Everyone is stupid but me! Engineers are all faking idiots." And he says this, surrounded by technology that other humans built for him. Not worth, let him be an idiot.

>>29039816CMF is a set of modular design guidelines, the chassis is still a new design. Though your strange obsession with when exactly a car's chassis was designed tells me that you don't know anything about cars to begin with.

How would Australia revive auto manufacturing?
>>29038781Do like the US and put tariffs in place. Things have never been better for the American auto sector now
>>29038781Say what you want about Australian cars but there was a time when the Ford Fairlane and Holden Statesman was better than the highest end version of any Toyota, Nissan, Mazda or Mitsubishi.>>29038808Doesn't the money eventually run out and we become Venezuela.>>29038816So the car is built in Australia by robots instead of China and some overseas company still gets the profit.
>>29040056> Doesn't the money eventually run out and we become Venezuela.That’s why I said we needed slavery. Using slaves for the manufacturing part you can undercut the market on labour costs and maaaybe be competitive, provided the product is also good in addition to being cheaper. I don’t see how else we do it. You’d still need to reimburse the actual smart people for their work so you’d have to subsidize the fledgling industry a bit for awhile with government grants. Hopefully after long enough you could ditch most of the slaves through automation or whatever but you really need to lean on them in the beginning to get a competitive advantage. Not sure how you would go with making sure the slaves did a good job of course. The quality control division would have to be on their A game. Also maybe the riot control division and the corporate brainwashing and propaganda division would have to work pretty hard too to keep the underlings in line. That might lead to some cost blow outs. We’d obviously need to import the slaves because the locals won’t do it, unless we disappear them or take them from orphanages and correctional centres. Keeping the whole thing under wraps is a must too bc it’s not gonna play well. We’d also need to scale this over time to reduce supply chain cost by in-housing as much stuff as possible like the chicoms do.

>>29040132used to be common to put a little blue or purple dye in gray hair to make it look silver, but it didn't take much and it was easy to overdo.

what daily would he drive today, hypothetically speaking
>>29039854He had a very strange sense of personal style until he got older, so I’d say a Ferrari Luce.
>>29039854If he was still contracted to Mercedes in an advisory role, an AMG Project One, but with the comfy seats.
Doesn't a drive a fiat wagon

>>29039854Probably one of these bad boys.
the average american wants to drive this around with a completely empty truck bed and empty passenger seats, spend money on gas and insurance, sit in traffic all day, cause pollution and noise, cause fatalities with other people and cars, all because if there were trains "some crackhead would stab me" as if that can't happen to you in line at the store or anywhere else and you refuse to learn to defend yourself
>>29039580Hell yeah brother, that's what id been planning. Already found an old giant amazon box i had lying around and taken some tape measures of my bed. Local home depot's 5x3s in stock for 40 bucks. Plans to cut my rough generous measures into cardboard then trim (wheelwells, ridges, etc...) till it fits flush in the bed, then use that as a template to cut the mat.
>>29039599Because the graph is manipulated junk. The data used on either side isnt comparable, one side is based on "cause of death" while the other is based on excess deaths. And the population of europe is double that of the US.
>>29039644I think denial is the first stage.

>ferrari sells 500 luce(s)>only 150 of these sold
>>29040014Ferrari made it clear that you wouldn't get on any allocation list for limited series models if you didn't buy a Luce. Pininfarina, Rimac, Lotus and everyone else who can't give away their electric supercars have no leverage like that.
They used to be good. Then they started catering to the chinks. What now?

>>29037737Convince others to dump their old car and get a tank as well
>>29038041New old parts “heritage program” or something
>>29037543You still won't buy it because that'll be 100k+ and you're poor.
>>29037132Nothing because i dont have new Mercedes money. I cope with the old cars.
How do you deal with soldering wires when space is cramped as fuck? Is there any tool to hold two wires together and stick it somewhere in the engine bay, like magnet or some shitThose "thrid hand" aids are useless when I want to solder wires in tiny spaces, there is no way they will fit.
crimping is more reliable in high vibration environments but realistically it probably doesn't matter. it's a passenger vehicle shitbox, not an FAA certified aircraft. if you're this obsessed with reliability, you might as well start replacing all of the fasteners in your niggermobile with safety wire while you're at it.
>>29038848Crimping isn't anywhere near the same level of work as tie-wiring. Crimping is also a baseline level of doing things right whereas tie wiring is only for particularly demanding environments. It doesn't take being "obsessed with reliability" to do things properly.
>>29037142i just twist them together and wrap the tape really tight
>>29039584
>>29039555>Crimping isn't anywhere near the same level of work as tie-wiring.crimp vs solder studies typically compare die-form crimp to soldering, not nigger rigged generalist crimps like a hobbyist would perform. ever look at the price on an OEM crimp tool?
