Windshield leak specialist in Athens ??
Flowable silicone is your friend if it's for sure around the windshield. It's a lower viscosity and will do the trick in many cases. https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-81730-Flowable-Silicone-Windshield/dp/B000BKEBO0 -
Ford Truck Engines
I do recon for a local used car lot and have done 5 head jobs on those turds. Year models from 2011 to 2015 are eating intake valves down to knife edge and losing compression at 80-125k. It's a crappy, soft intake valve material, no guide or seat issues. No other engine issues, but it's a... -
Need assistance with 2011 Yukon- power failure
C0242 is usually indicating codes stored in the ABS brake module. TCS is traction control system on this line of vehicles. Typically you'll get a message saying Service Stabilitrak in the instrument cluster display window as well as the TCS, ABS, and Brake lights being on during the drive cycle... -
Need assistance with 2011 Yukon- power failure
Window switch contact oxidation, door lock motor failures, LF lower door hinges, door speakers (non Bose), cracked dashes(standard equipment) and a handful of other issues are common to that platform. That's excluding the DOD engine and drivetrain issues. -
Need assistance with 2011 Yukon- power failure
I've encountered a few 07 up GM truck/SUV vehicles with similar symptoms. They were mostly traced back to a loose connection at the 175A main fuse, near the battery along the positive cable. Cleaning the contact surfaces and getting the nuts torqued down alleviated the issue without replacing... -
How much to replace U joints?
That's why I always take my own meat and vegetables with me for the restaurants to cook when I go out to eat. Seriously, let the shop that makes the diagnosis and does the work provide the part. There's no way in hell any reasonable business will stand behind a labor warranty on a part you... -

Chevy 2.2L Master Mechanic ?
If you're cool with believing that, so be it. Please explain to us how a moderate precision ball bearing is able to maintain the tight tolerance that'd be required to be even remotely waterproof with just a lip seal. It's bizarre that boat trailer hubs will allow water to get in, and they use a... -

Diesel tractor help
You've dang sure got some worn out rings at the minimum based on your description, I wouldn't rule out piston damage either. Crankcase blow-by only comes from cylinder pressure bleeding by. When you load it, it accelerates the leak rate because of higher cylinder pressures, diesel engines will... -
Automotive question
I've seen nothing good come from the radiator repair kits, they'll slow the leaks down for a little bit, but you'll end up having to replace it so you may as well spend the money on a replacement end tank at the least. Cry once with a proper repair, or cry twice if you waste the money on the... -
Automotive Question

Automotive Question
The Duramax diesels also run a pressure common rail setup, pressures at idle are from 4-5K and peak close to 23,000 PSI at WOT. -
Whats Worng with my babby?
I think I agree with that. If the battery has a low voltage, the amperage draw of a brushed starter motor will actually go up somewhat due to the slower rotational speed. Motors are usually rated in watts, and you'll get higher amp draw at a lower voltage. Electric motors and incandescent bulbs... -
Whats Worng with my babby?
That's incorrect, full fielding an alternator will lead to a higher voltage and that can cause damage to electronics. The alternator does not charge by producing voltage, it's the amperage that does the work. That part that controls the output is called a voltage regulator for a reason, it... -
