What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2019]

[DRIVEN]

Looks like the die worked. Found the leak.

Ha the yellow. That's actually overspray from when the MIL f*'d the car up a couple years ago.

Current project is replacing front hubs on the Cop Vic. Really gave my new slide hammer kit a workout. Still have one side to go. Also used the Wagon to pick up a REALLY ROUGH but worth the price Turbo Coupe hood for my T-Bird.

I have one Vic going to salvage if you need anything

Changed the oil/filter in the 4Runner. That's always a chore. 2 bolts for the cover on the oil drain plug. 5 plastic demonic pop rivets, and at least 4 bolts for the skidplate/cover for the filter. Then its a cartridge type so you have to pop the drain plug on it, push in the drain tool, wait for that to drain and make a mess everywhere. Crack the housing off and spill the remaining oil all over yourself, then replace the o-rings. Oh and the filter goes back in there too. Don't forget the stupid little clip that's supposed to keep the housing from backing off.... good thing its only every 10k miles.

Then I had to fix the front pass. door handle on my kids 08 Equinox. God this thing is a cheap pile of junk. Getting electrical gremlins, too, which isn't cool. Pass. side power locks don't want to work, drivers side lock switch stopped working when I replaced THAT handle. constant "stabilitrak is fubar" warnings, now its not seeing that the seatbelt is actually buckled. The turn signal clicker isn't an old school clicker at all, it just puts the sound over the speaker which seems to have stopped working. And some stupid EGR code that IDGAF about.

THEN I'm supposed to replace the radiator and AC condenser in the MIL's 05 Mustang that my wife was driving, swerved to miss a deer and ran over a large rock. bent and cracked both of them. What moron at Ford decided "hey lets let these hang down below the frame until something hits them and makes a giant mess, that'd be cool!" Still waiting on a rubber rad support bushing or that'd be done today.

Oh and yesterday had to replace both giant heavy batteries in the MIL's diesel RAM bc they died. Well I think one died and the other couldn't keep up the job for both of them....

Nobody F634256K up any more vehicles around here for a while, OK?!

One of my wife's friends has an ecotech Equinox, it was throwing Stabilitrak warnings when the throttle body took a dump, replaced it and the Stablilitrak codes stpped popping too. WTF

I was given notice today that the Hellcat has achieved D status. Requested the VIN and assigned build date. We are also looking into the possibility of going to see it be built at the factory through our contacts at FCA.

Hopefully it is going to be built few days after the plant comes back from Summer shutdown starting later this week. I don't want a Friday or Monday car - LMFAO.

Yeah, its a 2018 - but I don't mind looking at it.

You'll have to excuse me for not being Canadian or a Mopar fan. What is D status?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm keeping an eye out for a driver's side front fender. Seems every Vic or GM rots out one or the other front fenders. This one the driver's is bad.

An acquaintance of mine makes the roll bars that are optional for the Hellcats...
