What have you done to your vehicle lately?

[Vaquero]

My vehicle?
I've driven the shit out of it.
Dragged overloaded trailers.
Basically abused it.
I need to trade while interest rates are low.

Stupid exhaust fluid light came on. Pissed away another $25 for 5 gallons of DEF.

Paid $2.70 at the pump for it if you can find it. Usually big truck stops have it.

$2.70 for 5 gallons or a gallon?

$2.70 for 5 gallons or a gallon?

Per gallon with the benefit of less mess and being able to top it off.

I see it avaliable at almost every big chain truck stop at the big truck pumps.

I thought about stockpiling that stuff but my wife's Passat TDI has three years of free maintenance so I won't bother.

Drink about 4 cans of beer. Piss in the tank.

Not a good idea, it actually has a shelf life.

DEF is 32.5% urea and 67.5% water. I guess piss is close enough

I'd never give advice that would hurt someone's high dollar ride. Lol, but def is nothing more then refined urine, aka urea.

Take out the fats and you got yourself a jug of diesel exhaust fluid.

I'm going to go have a check engine light checked out..................yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww!!!!

I changed the oil in an 08 dodge avenger. 2.4

Pulled the plug, drained it. Literally attacked the oil filter.


Opened the new filter and filled it with oil. Stuck it up the engine. Basturd didn't fit. The center threads were too small. So, the old filter go's back on and I noticed I had almost poked a hole in it. I head to Wal-Mart thinking the oil filter is gonna pop from the wrench marks. Bought another filter and more oil.

Wal-Marts filter book didn't even list an 08 avenger( I got a filter for a 2008 something with a 2.4 ). They listed an 09 avenger. Even though the door tag says 02/08. 2009 filter fit but not the 2008, go figure.



Lol, according to the book this car doesn't exist and I didn't burn the motor up on hwy 190.



I hate changing oil. Simplest things just has to be drama.

I'm gearing up for a fair amount of work on my car:
- Shocks on all 4
- Inspect/replace anything else in the suspension as necessary
- Brake pads and rotors on all 4
- Set of tires
- Alignment, it's way off
- Oil change
- Recall: air bag
- Recall: radiator fans

I need to get rolling on the truck too:
- Brake pads and shoes, rotors and drums turned or replaced as necessary
- Shocks on all 4
- Set of tires
- Check alignment
- Oil change
- Fix/replace busted rear window bracket
- Find and fix water leak
- Pull and clean (or replace) stinky carpet
- Polish yellowed headlamps
- Fix silly electronic turn signal clicker / door chime that ain't clicking and chiming

That's a 'buffet'

Make sure your gas cap is on tight! You might get lucky!

ended up being a misfire on #6 cylinder. "Check Engine" light actually cleared when I got in the truck to go get it checked out.

Last month I threw on some LED headlights, and this past week I redid the transfer case, hydroboost lines, bump stops, and my audio work.

Like your truck. Hopefully you did the transfer case pump rub plate while you were in there. Are those lights from J.Huie?

Thanks! I had them do the pump rub plate while it was apart, plus an upgraded transfer case housing. She'll be going back though because there's a problem with the 4 wheel low that wasn't there before.

The lights are from a buddy of mines business "Cenflodiodes" out of Florida!
