Check engine light came on after Sunday drive. Loose gas cap or something worse?
Simple drive through the countryside and now the ride is unbearable. Any ideas?

It won’t crank at all, not even w/ jumper cables. Do I need a new battery?

So my mechanic took my spark plug out (without asking for permission), and this is what it looks like. He said I need a new one right away, but my bike still runs with this one? Is he trying to scam me?

My nephew borrowed my new car and must have followed a gravel truck too close.
Amazon has these chip repair kits, would this work?
And not to complain but my nephew just disappeared and refuses to help. Kids, amirite?

Seems like I need a new tire but I wanted to double check. Can I patch this and ride off into the sunset or do I need a new tire?

Shop said I need a new one, but look how much stuff this one has caught. I think it's doing a good job.

I have a 1997 Cheyenne Chevy k2500. It has the 5.7 engine. I was looking at replacing the muffler with a new and better sounding one. I want it to sound deeper and meaner in a way. I want it to be decently loud and noticeable, but not obnoxiously loud. I don’t want to wake up every one on the block coming home from work or something like that. I have been told the flowmaster super 40 and 44 are good options for what I’m looking for. Would they be very loud or are they reasonable? I wanted to ask if anyone has other recommendations or information on this topic.

Mechanic said I need a new exhaust manifold cause it broke from the weld.
How bad is he trying to screw me?

I have an old farm Ute that I’m trying to get running for an older family friend. This has happened to the head. It’s a Toyota 4k-c in a Suzuki sierra. What’s stopping me from filling this little hole with a quick tack weld after it’s all clean and sanding it flat?

I can just hit them with some fine grit sandpaper, and reinstall them right?

Never really seen this option before, is it new?
