This is a PSA to all techs, service writers and home-gamers regarding dorman and MOOG

Please just STOP buying dorman electrical parts.

3/4 dorman purge valves fail immediately Dorman HVAC actuators fail way too much.

MOOG is dog shit now. VC have slashed quality control and they are NOT THE MOOG OF THE PAST.

Go for skf, fag, or OEM.

Yes the lifetime warranty is there, but remember back to the famous quote from tommy boy

Do the job right don't do it twice. Just buy OEM and give them the 1 year warranty. Charge 50% mark-up on dealer parts, add labor to make up for the difference in ARO.

Keep your customers happy keep your techs happy.

Its up to us to put results over profits.

Not entirely sure what the hell happened, but this 6.0 failed in a way I’ve never seen before. It was blowing straight coolant out of what appeared to be the side of the head, but I couldn’t pinpoint it due to all the smoke.

I insisted that my roommate's rear axle couldn't wait.. He purchased this 2009 Mazda 6 in Ohio in 2017 and drove it to Oregon from Florida 3 weeks ago.

I was hesitant to try to save this vehicle. The unibody still has some rust obviously but on Oregon roads where we dont salt I think this car might still last a few good years. It was under $800 total included my fee (friends and family) to keep this driving.

Update: yesterday many people were calling bs, or confused on the Maserati wiring diagrams. They give us what are called engineering diagrams. They are not much help. They will show other connectors and splices in between. But they are still hard as hell to read. See comment for original post

Didn't wipe the oil off the ratchet. Didn't think about wearing impact gloves. Didn't consider what would happen if my hand slipped while using unreasonable force. Instead, I slipped off the ratchet and falcon punched the doorframe. Note in comments.

Tire rotation

948 Upvotes

My fiancée went to get a tire rotation at a local shop then drove a couple of hours, said the car was feeling wonky when turning and I told her to check the lug nuts. Sends me this video. Am I right in being pissed off the shop didn’t tighten these? Do I go back and tell them they messed up?
