Spun it into a tree while doing donuts in the snow the other day. Woops. Popped the bead off the tire too, but Discount reinstalled it for free, ha.

Yup, can't stand the whole full serve non sense. They even put the gas in gas cans for you.

Rebuilt rear drum brakes on my '97 XJ, can't find

where the growling noise is comming from. Brakes work fine, but when I turrn even a little it sounds like the shoes are dragging. I just don't get it. Wondering if the anit-lockers are doing something funky.

OK just finished fixing a transmission line leak in the snow. I am amazed that I didn't see a single salt truck go by

I am sure they are just itching to spread that crap on out roads

You can get the hardline from the front to the rear softline, like 35$ pre bent at the dealership. Saves SOOOOO MUCH TIME.

I was thinking the same thing but I called my local dealer and they said they couldn't get it anymore. Guy must have been a moron. I plan to do it this weekend so I'll just do it the old fashioned way!

All this because the PO thought the loud ticking noise wasn't a problem. All 4 flexplate holes looked like smiles and one had little cracks to go along with it

Oh well i have a transmission with 75K fewer miles on it now, but it looks like I might need a new TCM

Rear power window stopped working the other day. Finally took the door panel off, checked the connections, looked for broken wires, took a multimeter to it, listen for the motor...nothing. Got super frustrated so I banged on it a good bit, and reconnected everything. Then it worked.

I'm really not good at this troubleshooting thing.
