nope...as soon as you pull it apart, and stick your fingers in there...it becomes a potential fail point! Where there was one factory clamp, there is now 2 shade tree mechanic clamps...and a "valve" from who knows where in China.....I can take my HF clamp off in 1 minute and inspect for any...
you clamped it too tight man. My 19 shows absolutely no damage...how would it make the walls thinner? "Each line clamp is specially designed to stop flow without damaging or compromising the hose." HF Clamp kit
nope, the clamp does NOT kink the hose, just constricts it a little if you don't crank the **** out of it...I'd much rather have 1 weak point, than 3.....
you are more likely to have issues with the valve set up, than a simple hose clamp. With the clamp there is no cutting of the OEM hose, leading to potential leaks from 2 CLAMPED ends of a now cut hose, or the valve itself failing. The HF clamp will NOT damage the hose in anyway, they are...
Just put a Harbor Freight hose-clamp on this hose...you'll **** when you see how much colder the ac gets...put it on in spring, take off in fall. You don't have to clamp it super crazy tight...just tight enough to squeeze the hose like 3/4 ways closed.
Hi there...I just retired 3 years ago from appraising for a major carrier based in Boston, had about 15 years in the field...the way it works in MA is, one year or 15,000 miles gets you OEM parts, after that, A/M is allowed as long as they are CAPA Certified. CAPA is a testing lab in D.C. that...
as an old retired appraiser, I want to see how diminished my skill are,lol...so I'm going to take a guess at what the final repair bill was on that hit....I say $14,680.....
That's kind of funny, but there were SUV's with completely plastic rear gates. When I was appraising for the ins co's a few years ago I first came across this. Think it was a Nissan Murano, might have been a Rogue...not only is the gate completely plastic, but it is pre-painted if you order one...
they all do pretty much the same thing..I have a "Pedal Commander". They take over the regulating of how fast your throttle body opens, the result can be almost instant response, with zero lag, IF you want that. there are multiple settings which mostly just regulate how much delay there is in...
So, doing a little tire rotating yesterday...have a new set of pads on the shelf, just because. Figured might need em by now. Wrong! Can't believe these pads still have what looks to me like 70% left!! At this rate I'll maybe be doing first brake job at 100K 😁
well...it definitely has something to do with how much they spent on the car, and how flawless the paint is...but to your point, there is some OCD involved for sure.
