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...

Must be fairly air tight rinsing out with gas and closing plus a temp change and it has a little vacuum.

Interesting didn’t think of the plastic contributing in that way. I know vinyl can allow growth of fungus or algae. Boat seats can get eat up with it due to moisture. A place I worked that mixed pvc to extrude it and molded it would add anti fungal chemistry to the blend Both tractors...

Anyone rinse their jugs out and try to store them dry? I have maybe (8) plastic fuel jugs. I have tops for them and never leave the tops off for long. Before getting fuel I look inside and if they are "dirty" I clean them with carb cleaner and gasoline before getting fuel. When I say...

Yeah, I try to be considerate park farther out. I don’t mind a longer walk. Actually don’t like to park close as more people walk by truck and can see what’s In bed or key it because it’s a nice truck. I fold my mirrors in when appropriate etc. This lot was small and not a lot of options...

First time I’ve ever been stuck. I parked and before I returned people parked beside me and behind. My truck was too long to back out and work steering back and forth. The isle between parking rows was narrower than my truck length. Dang compact car beside me did not pull fully into space so...

Will posted while I was typing.... Electronic variable orifice or something similar. My understanding is it's supposed to reduce power steering assist at speed to mimic a sportier? firm feeling steering. Might be to help prevent jerk oversteer or something???? But when you turn the wheel more...

Is the evo valve normally closed then powers open? Why remove it? I unhooked the sensor on the column under the dash a long time ago is the unplugged sensor powering fully open the evo valve all the time? I assume yours now steers easy all the time like old power steering. That is the way...

My truck has been fine hasn't happened again. But no real test it hasn't sat for more than 3 days since. I have read of few other trucks going dead on one of the facebook groups. Reports are randomly posted mostly once and done. A few dealers give new batteries others don't. Some tow to a...

I stopped by horrible freight today. I’m not tall enough to get good pictures but between my sketch and pics it shows the concept. Leave it up to the Chinese to figure the cheapest way to do things. It’s not much of a bushing. They only capture the corners with their spacer/bushing. Sort...

You asked for it so don't laugh at my sketch it was a quick attempt at a cross-section to try and show (1) bushing or spacer. You need (4) to center the inner tube or you could do (3) and the inner tube would be pushed over to one wall (without weld seam) of the outer tube. In my drawing, I...
