It took Chip six weeks to get one of my trucks back on the road. It took the machine shop three weeks to resurface the heads, they're so busy. The new/used car market is so tight that everybody under the sun is repairing their cars rather than buying new.

Some goober on NextDoor was asking why his mower he bought last year wouldn't start. Consensus was carb gum. I am telling you and telling you...do not let gas sit in mower over winter, it will eat rubber O-rings no matter how much StaBil you use.

I think Zuck has shadow banned me. I'm sure YouTube has, my advice about getting the A/C working on an SN-95/New Edge Mustang working by changing the relay board was spot-on.

I've never had any problems leaving stabilized gas in equipment. My Toro TimeMaster fired right up yesterday. There was one little problem though...
I don't think a new gas cap would've helped it was always kind of loose since new.

We got morons here saying drain the tank and fill with SeaFoam. Oh shit yes, SeaFoam will strengthen the rings and shit, it's like flouride for IC 4-strokes, lol...
ps: I use Sta-Bil, left gas in mower over winter, carb was fucked up next spring, never had a problem if I run it dry/drain it.

I noticed one time carb was f*****d after I didn't use mower from August until about October - very hot, very dry year. Would not start, I had to swap out new carb. I wonder if being kept in tool shed at +100dF for three months had any effect?

#3 rear ended a big truck the other day in her nice 2006 Toyota Avalon with only 150,000 miles on it. I told the tow truck guy to tow it here. He said it was totaled.
No, it isn't totaled. Just needs front bumper, bumper cover, grille, hood and trim, hood latch and support assembly, both front fenders, both headlights and turn signals, radiator, AC condenser, fan assembly, air filter housing, and 14,000 various plastic fasteners.
It's my new project. Used cars are too expensive, so I'm fixing this one. I'm highly motivated, because she's driving my truck until I get her car fixed. And I've got a big trip planned in mid June.

Would you be interested in a 2001 V6 Mustang that has had every fluid changed well before spec, but just "a little" rust on frame? 89,992 original miles.
I am pissed off, spent $3,500 at Ford Dealer a couple years ago getting shit like power window motors, heater fan motor fixed and the fuckers didn't mention that the shock towers were rotting out. And they didn't even get the A/C working, i diagnosed that myself, and ordered a new PCU board. Ford dealer wanted to charge me $600 to replace (plus $400 for the $90 board I bought from AutoZone), I told them Fuck You and found some decent folk who did it for $75. Thank God they showed me the rot before I put any more money into this car. These are safety issues, the dealer was simply negligent in not giving me an honest appraisal.

ps: Mustang still runs like panther piss, will pull a 16.2 @ 96mph if you ain't worried about tearing out the diff and being stranded.

That's weird, I have the opposite experience. I fill up the tanks all the way to get the air out and never had a problem. I think a big problem is the damn ethanol in the gas. Chris told me a station in New Haven has non-ethanol gas. If it's not too expensive, I might start using that in everything.
Another thing I do is use stabilized premium in my small engines. I've heard gas loses an octane point per month in storage. I guess engineered gas is supposed to be really good, but I think that's crazy high, like $40/gal.
never had a problem if I run it dry/drain it.
That's always caused me grief. I figured it was the fuel residue gakking up.
I don't know about SeaFoam. I think Taryl might have tested that in his long-term dealie he did a year or so ago.

Ya think? LOL, that is THE problem - corn squeezins disolve rubber tubing and o-rings.

It is for marine engines, marine conditions, and was great for both in 1953.

Big project. Good luck on the parts. I'm glad Chip didn't have parts problems.
14,000 various plastic fasteners.
Ugh. Hate those things.

The Bidet is mandating E15 now. Chip is gonna be busy as hell. Already is.

Ever get a cut and treat it with MercuroChrome? That was the go-to solution back in the day. By about 1973, Mercury was not quite so fashionable, but it had its day.

They will have to label E15 pumps as such, for now anyway. Just don't buy it. What was the cut-off, 2012?
What pisses me off is that Bidet acts like he is saving the environment, the country, and morality in general. The truth is, every gallon of ethanol requires two gallons of fossil fuel input to produce. The whole thing is a lie and a scam to enrich fat-cat insiders, and fucks up the environment far worse than us simpletons would do on our own with our crazy ideas about reducing vehicle weight or tuning for maximum MPG vs PPM on test equipment.

I'll go out on a limb here and say everything 2012 and later is ok for E-15. Just make sure to drain the tank after you are done using it :)

GM Ft. Wayne Assembly is storing thousands of trucks out at the Casad Depot (formerly strategic material storage during the Cold War) waiting on chips or something. My buddy tells me the mice are eating the soy-based wiring harness insulation. Word is, is that they're going to destroy them all because repairs are too costly.
There's no shortage of stupid going around.

I think you could get $400 for the engine if you spent $397 and about 20 hours carefully removing it... :)

20 hours? I'd just hook a chain to it and lift -- the motor mounts are probably so rusted out that they'd fail before the wheels even lifted off the ground.
LOL, you are right dude. Next question would be be how much is a 20 year old Ford Essex 3.8L V6 worth? Had Ford properly rustproofed the frame, another 5 years. I think the AOD4E is susceptible to COVID-19, call Janet Reno, we have a problem!

StraitWoman's 2007 Ford Edge (bought used, of course) has held up pretty well, and she drives it hard. The rubber on the windshield gasket completely rotted out, leaving the metal strip flapping in the wind. So I cut it off. But the windshield doesn't leak; the sealant does the job even with no gasket. Here in South Carolina, with comprehensive insurance (which covers theft, vandalism, and road hazards such as rocks and deer, but not collisions with other vehicles or line poles, etc.) windshield replacement has zero deductible. So when the windshield gets busted I'll get a new gasket for free. (Well, free not counting the ungodly insurance premiums even without collision coverage.)

I don't want to trailer my Veyron all the way up there, so I guess I'll just run my 2002 4.8L Silverado daily driver. Well, weekly driver -- I stay home a lot these days since the world went totally insane.
DANGER - the TRUTH is going to be told. Eagledale Neighborhood Association will meet Thurs., May 5th at AMVETS. The truth about our neighborhoods is going to be exposed. We need your support AND you need ours. Come, let's meet. Starts at PM sharp. Amvets is at north end of Eagledale Plaza. Look for the flag poles, go to next door to right (marked as BAR).
I almost asked if there would be snacks, but I never fit in in redneck ass Indianapolis
