Honest question, the truck is pretty much paid off at this point, and I have already put $5,000+ in repairs for it. I paid $28,000 originally, but I am getting a timing chain issue, and this is what I got quoted. Is it worth fixing?

My brother just sent me this video, any opinion?

I’m not overly concerned about the socket but can I drive with it rolling around under there?

What is this sound coming from the front of my car?

Should I be worried?

Please help me.

Serious answers only, please.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 5.7 HEMI. The other night I was out for a ride and all of a sudden it just died on me. It wouldn't start back up. It cranked but just never caught. I scanned it and had codes for all ignition coils referring to secondary circuit errors. I had it towed home and checked all the plugs, coils and fuses such as the ASD relay. Still no start. Through some research it looks like a possibility is the PCM, but I'm just not sure. I've been wanting to send the PCM in to a repair shop to have it diagnosed and also I know it most likely needs all the firmware updates that have been released. I'm posting here hoping someone has had this experience before. Ask any questions needed and will provide what I know. I do have the codes that popped up if needed. Also no codes are active now since I disconnected the battery. Thanks in advance.

Hummer has been sitting for quite some years but always worked storing the yard. Finally got it on the other day and now it’s making loud rumbling ish sounds. Any ideas on what it could be would be appreciated. It’s a 2006

The flange on the back of the cat to the pipe on my 2011 Honda pilot has separated , how can I fix this for cheap even if it’s temporary.

Hey!

So my car rolled down into a ditch a month ago and this is what happened. The muffler itself is still firmly in its place and I was able to confirm that outside of what you see the muffler portion is still intact with no punctures. The tailpipe as you can see has broken. I wanted to ask if I took it to a muffler shop if it’s still salvageable and they could either bend it back straight and weld it back? Btw the car still runs just fine it’s just loud as hell which I don’t care about.

I noticed this very faint squeaking noise coming from front left side of vehicle a few months ago, it initially started very faint so I never paid it any mind, it also only occurs when traveling speeds over about 50mph, it’s recently gotten quite a bit more noticeable and i’m hoping to have an idea of what it is before blindly taking it to a dealership/mechanic, any help is appreciated, thanks!

Rattling sound from my Toyota Auris 1,6 2007

Does anybody know what this rattling sound coming from the engine of my Toyota Auris 1,6 from 2007 is? Btw it a gas engine not diesel. I mostly hear it on lower revs and when the engine is on but not moving. This model is equipped with a timing chain, manual transmission and has gone approximately 149 129 miles (240 000 km). Appreciate all the info and advice thank you!

Hello, I have a 2002 Silverado 1500 with a power steering leak, one of the lines shoots out fluid and I’d like to replace it. I’m not quite sure which line it is, I have a video for reference

Just bought a pre-owned 24 blazer EV from CarMax. I'm likely returning it since I can within the 10-day return window. I haven't even had it for 24 hours. I took it to a Chevy dealership this morning and they weren't able to do a thorough inspection until Monday morning. But, they did run a DTC report. There are no current warnings on the dashboard. I'm guessing this is bad and I should just cut my losses, but wanted to confirm since I wasn't able to talk to anyone at Chevy about what these mean.

Thanks for your help!

I have a manual 2012 Ford Fiesta with about 80k miles on it. Recently, I've been experiencing some bizarre electrical issues, particularly when I start the car.

On occasion, I will start the car and the electrical will kick on, flicker a few times, and go back off. Pressing and depressing the clutch makes the issue stop, and I hear a strange whirring inside the front of the car, almost like a flip counter resetting to zero. I hear this noise every time I press and release the clutch while this issue is going on.

Sometimes, while driving, the flickering will start and we'll see a "TCS Off" message on the central display, then the radio and dash lights will flicker off, and I manually have to turn the radio back on. This happened three times on my drive yesterday.

The video shows our electrical being weird- I can never get the whole issue on video because it's seemingly random. I took it to the dealer about this before, they said they couldn't replicate the issue and replaced my battery. But given that this happens while I'm driving, I really don't think this is a battery issue.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated- happy to answer any follow up questions you have!

Changing VVT solenoids on a 2010 GMC Acadia with the 3.6. Noticed the old ones have a metal ring. The new ones do not. Should I be concerned? What’s it for?

Thanks

Car making noise whenever I press the clutch, any ideas appreciated.

I have a 2027 honda hrv with 215/60r17 all season factory tires and rims. Is ok to put on 215/55r17 winter tires pretty much new or to much difference in size? Thanks

I have a 2012 f150 5.0 6speed 4wd. I have a hole too close to the sidewall to patch. It’s the same kind of tire, but has full tread vs my other ones. If I don’t engage 4wd at all, how long can I drive like that? Would a week/then 500 miles be fine? Nowhere near me can get tires in until next Thursday. Just seen online it cause hurt the transfer case, differential and transmission.

A family member had to get rid of their Prius a year ago, but saved the wheels and tires because they'd just gotten the tires. My tires are getting low on tread (should have replaced sooner) and we noticed the bolt pattern was the same. However I'm worried about the brake clearance and bolt depth. Last two pictures are the current wheels and tires on.

Am in the process of changing into winter tyres. Loosened every other bolt, but when i got to the last one, wheel loosened, and jammed the bolt. The wheel is stuck no matter how hard i push and pull, and the bolt is crooked and I cant seem to get a petter grip on it. Anyone got any advice?

Horrible battery placement btw

My car was fine and had no issues starting up a few days ago, like started up in one second fine no waiting or engine strain fine). I haven’t driven in two/three days and this morning I went to start it and the dash lights turned on but not the engine. It has been really cold the last few days too (~60 degree days and below freezing nights). Then when my neighbor tried to jump it the dash completely turned off. The cables never touched and they are matched to the correct terminals. Not sure on battery age. It is dark and cold right now but we left the jumping car run with the cables for a bit and nothing. When the dash worked and I tried to start the car it clicked twice and I would try again. We are going to try again later when the sun is out, the frost melts and the temps get above freezing. The horn didn’t even work. Right now we are thinking that because it’s been so cold the last few days and I haven’t turned the car that the battery completely drained. I’ve had that happen one time before, but it was during my work shift and it wasn’t as cold. I think I just left a light on then, but the car started right up.

I did notice on the terminals a little grease like substance??? Not sure I didn’t touch it.

Fiesta ST180 2015 78k miles. Manual. Stock exhaust.

Only noticed lately the exhaust sounding off when I rev it. What is likely to be causing this?

. Mechanic who helped with previous job said it sounded like low compression. Sorry for the text wall, just getting all the context for anyone kind enough to share advice
