I often use this site for service info. It’s all pirated from ALLDATA. Currently a comprehensive subscription to service info is around $180/mo. A modern repair shop can’t function without service information.
I often wonder what it will be like in the distant future if/when gasoline becomes a luxury that collectors purchase to operate “antique” ICE automobiles. Will we have little craft refineries brewing single origin…
Those are particularly prone to failure on 4.0 (as you are now know) make sure you use an OE crank sensor.
For what it's worth, as an auto tech we are limited in what we can do. For a vast majority of car makes, we have no access to anything that happens on the back-end of the control modules. We can look at some data stream…
I'm an automotive technician, I have worked for an EV startup. Some of the most frustrating diagnoses I have been involved in were caused by bugs in the software. We had one where a power trunk would not release if the…
The equalizing brake force from the other side sounds good until you factor in things like ride height differences from worn suspension or imperfect roads. Those and other transient forces disturb that left to right…
I’m a technician at a dealership, I can think of a couple of possibilities. First off, I think it’s an add-on remote start module. It’s possible that a different customer wanted one installed and then the deal fell…
Indeed, one of the things Uber disrupted was many lifelong taxi owner-operator’s retirement plans. An NYC taxi medallion was a valuable asset. It was a promise for exclusive market access. Giant $1M loans were taken out…
I teach at a technical college and we were the recipients of a milt-million dollar donation from Makenzie Scott. Our students are mostly low income people with little or college experience. They are not privileged and…
J1939 or CAN is a network protocol many vehicles use for control module to control module communication. The “standardized system” you were commenting about is referring to access to the server side info. Currently…
Site is down for me too, but on a related note, if you have never seen a watchmaker practice their craft, it is fascinating. https://youtu.be/6qIe4O8kxbY
The problem is that vehicle handling is dependent on equal grip from all 4 tires. When you introduce differential in traction front to rear, you can throw the "understeer or oversteer bias" directly out the window.…
Not a bug. This is a weird but documented phenomenon. There are multiple published technical bulletins on similar issues caused by uneven tire wear/replacement. I must admit that I never came across traction control…
All years are good. 'Foreigners in Afghanistan have long joked that Afghanistan is where the world’s Corollas come to die. But Afghan’s take issue with that description. “They come here to die?” asked a puzzled Askar…
I love Toyota and Honda for long term reliability. I am a Nissan tech so its not a brand loyalty thing here. Toyota pickups and corolla are highly sought after on the secondary markets overseas in Asia and Africa…
For me, I hated to see parts missing or damaged on assembly. Wiring repairs or accessory installs made with scotch-lok connectors or wire nuts.Using crappy eBay parts. Using an entire tube of RTV sealant where only a…
Former dealer technician here, the Haynes books give most DIYers just enough rope to hang themselves. The wiring diagrams are never complete and a lot of info is missing outright. I guess it's good enough for a casual…
