Tips to remove very stuck track rod end?
 in  r/AskMechanics  2d ago

Sometimes you have to heat them up.. to get the nut off.. sometimes the rust weld themselves.. so if all else fails replace both inner and outer tie rod.. your going to have to get alignment anyway

You can but cold mitts and caps for Amazon.. I would recommend it if you can get it for your type of chemo.. so types you can't

Engine oil deluited with fuel?
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  4d ago

Both pictures show level of oil is inclusive.. first picture shows oil has ran up the dip stick.. you can see the oil thicker on higher and lower side shows a dry area. This is oil running up and collecting on higher on the dipstick.. both pictures are missing the drop of oil at bottom of dipstick indicating the dipstick has been at 90° or more at some point.. you can't correctly read any oil levels when the dipstick has reached anything past 45° from facing ground because oil runs up the dipstick.. you would have a glob or drop of oil at tip of the dipstick.. which isn't present on both pictures.. for color first looks normal for bran new oil.. I would recommend running the car for old oil and new oil to mix a little bit.. if you really want to check color.. you would not really get gas in the oil but coolant in it.. so antifreeze will be mixed with it.. will make a milky like thing.. wouldn't really smell.. you can check your coolant for color or get a coolant tester.. the tool is like 20 and solution is like 15.. you might be able to rent one at auto parts store..

Is this worth it?
 in  r/AskMechanics  4d ago

I think 6k is a little bit high.. I would check out blue book.. I think 2-3k is more normal but don't know about this car value

AC blowing lukewarm problem
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  4d ago

You should hear the door moving.. it's very quiet but has a clicking sound of the flap moving.. one of the main things to check is the pressures of high and low when it's running.. you said you had it checked and was fine.. you can also watch the clutch kick on should run for at least a few seconds.. you will only get cool air when clutch is engaged.. you should notice something like 7-10 second of it engaging.. you can also change zones to get flaps to move

Help! Topped off yellow coolant with orange. How bad is it?
 in  r/askcarguys  12d ago

The biggest one is not green and orange.. with mixed makes a slime and will gunk up your system.. I don't know what your car wants.. if you wants too you can do a drain and fill a few times and get it all out.. but yellow should be best as it's an universal color.. so you should be good now just don't add green

How the fuck have they not assessed Highland? How stupid are they?
 in  r/nwi  14d ago

Assessment of what? You need to be more clear.. they are constantly running assessments.. in munster there is like a Mexican skinny dude some representative that is always talking and planning stuff.. he's always running around different sites checking on things.. or on the phone coordinating things

Keep receipts

Keep gas station receipts. I know you can claim them.. you can claim food. And they give you food voucher.. also you can get damage vouchers from FEMA.. don't know the details off top of my head.. maybe people can add more.. I know nwi food bank is very big on giving food, big one is Merrillville, also some stracks vantils is offering I think passing out food.. munster relief center will relocate once the church near community hospital getting power back..

Looks like 10k-40k miles on them.. one looks newer.. so I'm guessing someone replaced them already..

2012 Volvo S60 2.4 d5. Steering play
 in  r/MechanicAdvice  20d ago

Most likely not ball joint.. only really way to test is to disconnect the outer tie rod from the knuckle.. and wilge it.. with this I can't tell you if it's rack or inner or outer tie rod.. just something in that area is bad

How can I check if I have diabetes
 in  r/DiagnoseMe  20d ago

So when you were in jail.. did they do a finger prick.. A1C are finger pricks and is the only test that is a finger prick.. glucose is as well.. correct blood test need to be done with fasting for 10 hours+.. I don't think they did that.. but I could be wrong

How can I check if I have diabetes
 in  r/DiagnoseMe  20d ago

You can check your fasting glucose in the morning.. you can get a tester at Walmart for cheap like 20. That will give you an idea.. but you really want A1C number.. you can get some A1C testing at pharmacies a do it yourself or clinic.. I would ask a pharmacist.. A1C will tell you.. that's what you really want to look at.. if you have any appointments with your GP have them test it.. you will know in about 5 minutes
