    If all 4 pads on that axle look that way your fine.

    Avoid the dealership! They are horrible places that only retain the mechanics that can't cut it in a real shop.

    I bought a brand new work van for my business. At 30k mi while in for warranty work Nissan wanted to do 4 brakes, 4 rotors, 4 tires, and a 4 wheel alignment on a NV3500 work van with a solid rear axle.... Said there was severe wear blah blah blah. Ended up going to over 100k miles and through two sets of tires pulling trailers with that van before actually needing brakes...

    This mechanic is after your money. Run, don't walk away from them.

    Rule of thumb is what ever you do to one side of a vehicles axle you do the same to the other. You really need to get the other tire changed so there are 2 new ones of the same tread wear on the same axle.

    You wouldn't change only one brake rotor or do the LF brakes and not the RF brakes. You do them as a set.

    Not only will your transmission and differentials suffer excess wear due to unever wheel speeds your braking and ABS will suffer too.

    If you had a 1970s vehicle sure you can get away with this and probably won't have any issues. But with a newer vehicle your only asking for more expensive issues.

  • So I use my phone often for work. Calculator app, maps, camera etc. Today as of the last 45 min or so Facebook somehow got installed on my phone. I haven't used Facebook since 2009. What gives. Why is it all of a sudden installed and not able to be removed?

    Any idea why none of the lemmynsfw.com content does up on the Connect app for Android?

    EDIT. Made the switch to the Jerboa app and everything works. I like Connect but it's not functional.

    Movie was so slow and painfully boring I stopped 50 mins in. Literally nothing of any real substance happens. What is the deal with all these movies not doing anything in the first 1/2 to 3/4 of the movie? Am I just a bitchy millennial or is the the new trend for movies today?

    Great work. Now just keep an eye on it to see what was causing the moisture or water to get inside the electrical connection to cause it to rust inside. May be a leaking connection or valve. Happy new year.

    This is more of an electrical problem rather than a plumbing issue. But rust inside the junction box is a sign of water getting into it. You need to find the source of the water that's getting in and stop that too. It looks like there is only a bad connection inside the wire nut. Most likely due to being wet. You can try changing the wire nuts if you feel comfortable with electricity.

    1. Switch the breaker to "off" and lock it out & tag it so nobody turns it on accidently.

    2. Verify power is off to both wires with a meter or voltage indicator.

    3. Cut back the wires until you have a good section of wire to strip and install new wire nuts. (Remove one wire nut at a time so you don't mix wires.)

    If you are not comfortable with electricity please do not attempt this repair and contact someone who is.

    Definitely love the look of a stock 95-96 Impala SS. I miss the clone I had for over a decade. Most reliable car I ever had. Will never forget how well it would cruise at 100-120 MPH for hours on end feeling like your on a cloud. They really should have put a 454 in the SS

    I'm interested in this too. Software for manufacturer specific vehicles like Ford Power strike or Toyota/Lexus as well as industrial off highway engines and equipment. Kubota, Doosan, Yanmar, John Deere etc.

    Many use similar communication protocols but the software for special functions are manufacture specific.

    Would love to cut out the dealers and be able to do forced manual Regen and injector tests etc

    Hey yeah. I only found out about these guys a couple years ago. Definitely one of the best to come out of that time. Couple of my favorites are Jet City Woman and Eyes of a Stranger. Geoff Tate is an awesome vocalist. Super happy to see this band on here!!!
