Lose the pcv and vent it to the atmosphere lol.

I've been in Goodyear for 20 years and have seen the growth explode. I take the 303 to Surprise for work and the whole corridor is nonstop construction. If you have to go east into Phoenix the traffic will do you in. Even the evening traffic going west on the 10 has been brutal for a few years...

Yeah have to take into consideration it's a Cali gig. But I dunno, I read the description and thought it was a solid offer. 75k for year 1 is money not afforded in any career without a bunch of education. Being a dumb auto mechanic, I've been underpaid my whole life and didn't know what 100k...

Yep!

Agreed sales and service are the money makers at a franchised car dealership (yes Tesla is all Tesla). I have no idea what the profit percentage is for parts sales by the manufacturer, at the dealer level it isn't much of the big picture. All I know is that the people that sit in finance and...

I'm going to disagree, the Parts department absolutely does not make all of the coin at a car dealer. It is a very small piece of the pie. That might be the perception but it's not the reality of it.

What do you mean if a brand has a finance arm? We may be talking about 2 totally different things here.

As a dealer tech for near 40 years now…service advisors aren’t the ones who make all of the money at a dealership, finance is where the money is at. It’s not uncommon for a finance person to make 30k/month.

Instead of publicly pissing and moaning about home mechanics taking work from you and complaining that they don't pay their fair share of taxes and violate zoning laws (kind of a dumb thing to be worried about IMO), why don't you redirect your efforts and focus on keeping the customers that you...

This^^^ It could add a few degrees you hadn't realized were there. It's not just the axle angle, but the set back of the cvs because of arm length. Letting the arm droop usually brings the cvs back in line with one another but it's good practice to measure the tightest angle anyways. Of course...

Just go, you might find it interesting. Because you're a business owner who is active in your day-to-day operations, it's likely you can be dismissed. Contrary to popular belief, the courts do not try to screw over the people they need for the judicial system to work. Here in Phoenix, if you're...

The insurance companies know us off roaders are some sneaky folk and will at some time cash in on the policy :ROFLMAO: JK Sounds like getting boat insurance for your blown Daytona in the 90s. Wasn't happening unless they thought it was all stock. I don't have a high dollar car like Dock...

I've had good luck with Fortin 300m stars, in my 930 cvs. They're not bulletproof but they do last a very long time if the edges are knocked off. They're like $100 from Kartek. I cringe at the thought of even having to take a greasy cv apart. :ROFLMAO: I've often wondered if you could take a...

And then there's this...

If it's an add on tube, 1" x .120 is what I'd use. At least use the same wall thickness as the tube it's welded to. My old chassis used the tube that was already behind the seats, but that's not technically correct to attach the belt to, it needs to be higher. There is a spec from the belt...
