I have done the siphon thing too on different vehicles. I recommend a clear small hose with extra length. I haven’t looked but can you get a clear drop from the lower hose say at the midpoint or other section. If replacing the hose anyway can you poke a hole in hose at an area and collect...

I thought the ecm read the head temp sender and the gauge read the crossover sender? How long might matter….iirc The engine has to get to a minimum temp I thought it was 160F in 10 minutes or DTC 15 is set. But my memory is bad. Sucks to be away from tools. Maybe could have unplugged...

Yeah it is not. Good for you not paying. Hit any big potholes or parked it with a front tire higher? How much do u have torsion bars cranked are they close to even? Any of that move? Sounds like the alignment shop forgot to straighten the steering wheel. Did you get a print out when...

Don’t think caster chamber really affect tire wear much. One of those requires a kit to adjust. If it has never been adjusted with the kit then it is probably ok. I was recommended not to do the knock out kit. I took mine somewhere and the Mechanic didn’t know there was a knock out and kit...

Maybe it was centering a 6’ board and extrapolate the toe I now am second guessing myself 1/4” toe in right at tires sounds like a lot. Maybe measure what you have and adjust a little at the time test drive repeat.

Take it somewhere else. Now you can’t trust that shop. It is insulting to listen to people try and get money out of you. In the auto world It is near exhausting it seems some days to deal with dealers, insurance, service. Are you starting from scratch? I’d take it somewhere else. I think...

I probably should have found a lawyer or paralegal that would help me early on for a small fee to start and retainer or something. Doubt I can back out of arbitration since I already filed. 20 yrs ago I briefly dated a farm bureau adjuster who told stories of lawyers getting involved in small...

Arbitration still in processing. They are sticking to their evaluation. They claim SC does not have a formula for diminished value so % and modifiers don’t matter to them. So I guess it is total negotiation and market investigation. I went by carmax and have a buy offer for comparison...

That puts it in perspective. I did not mean to play the blues - whoa is me. You know how it goes you ask a question but the devil is in the details.

To file arbitration in SC you have to file against the liable person. Then the insurance is suppose to indemnify the insured. I was trying to be neighborly with him just to let him know. I was going to ask if he had any preference to receive the summons. I don’t have a beef with him yet...

Delivering the summons to the county police I called the insurance agent number on accident report and asked if they could give me owners cell number that I wanted to give him a heads up I had to file for arbitration and if he had any questions I could answer. The agent said they couldn’t give...

I have never been in a wreck or made a damage claim. I naively thought they would be fair. When I started my claim Allstate said on the phone they would pay $36 dollars a day for a rental but I had to pay for it then they would reimburse me. You can't rent a car for that so I started doing...

Is CarFax the only source that reports on recordable insurance damage? I know of NADA, KBB, and Truecar that estimate market value but aren't they all on an honor system for entering conditions?

The impact was high from a colorado pickup he hit the curb and kareamed sorta upwards smashing bumper corner and the bed right-rear light pillar smashing up the rear quarter of bed panel beyond repair then he went off the road. According to SC tort law, I believe they owe me repair cost, loss...

This is a 2020 long bed srw . I think the inner wall of bed side is one piece to include wheel house and floor pieces in front and rear of wheel house or wheel well. That is what was replaced not the center floor section of bed. I think the bed floor is 3 pieces (center and 2 sides floor...

I was rear-ended in a wreck. No injury just damage to my truck. Insurance has been a pain to work with and IMO now lowballing the diminished value. So I see one of the most common formulas for diminished value is the market value x .1 as max diminished value. then multiplier for milage...

Honda covered 85% of the repair she replaced injectors. She did not tell me the individual codes only the dash lit up with brake light etc. It drove 2-3 hours home fine. I guess I can see if the injectors caused severe stumbling the ECM would fault different codes because it couldn't smooth...

It’s hard to phone internet diagnose severity. Being a woman’s car I try not to get involved. Just help check the sniff test if she is getting taken advantage of. I texted her …I see a couple google hits on injector issues. And electrical issues. I'd want to know how far out of spec...

I see a couple of google hits about injector issues. Some have oil dilution or rough running / weak acceleration. So far she has reported to me everything was fine.

Just had a call from my sister1 with sister2. Sister2's car is a 2018 honda accord 50K miles recently serviced. They drove on a 2 hour trip then parked for 2 days and when started several check engine lights came (started like normal). I guess car can suggest service etc brakes might not...
