Maybe you didn't put something on right. Maybe the parts you used were bad. Make sure everything is tight. If everything is tight then start by replacing one of the wheel bearings again. Just take it back to AutoZone to get warrantied out.

So I have a question I thought I had a line leak and turns out it was gas coming out the fuel pump. I want to make sure before I take it apart can the fuel pump leak or can it be a line just above it. Its hard to see in. I did put my finger on the top and gas did run across my finger, but i have never seen a fuel pump leak.

It's probably a fuel pump. Almost certainly. But you're going to have to drop the tank to find out either way. So just drop the tank and get to it.

Been through hell finding the clutch for my truck and literally everything’s in the way when trying to finish the clutch job. I managed to get it all back together besides the 2 angled bars they connect to a brace on the side of the transmission with a nut and connect to the back of the engine.

So annoying how Ford puts so much crap in the way after unmounting something. I recently had to replace my alternator and just to get it out I ended up having to loosen one of my motor mounts to shift the whole engine to finally have enough room. Now I understand why all my buddies hate Fords. What sucked more during fixing my alternator I noticed one of my cv axle boots was bad and I also need new motor mounts.

Did you ever think that the reason they are sitting there is because of stupid laws like American tariffs? All the claims about Ev's being worse for the environment than gas cars are baseless or cherry picked by using the most stupid luxury behemoths possible. Most Ev's break even with the extra energy used to make them at under 50,000km, given some packs last for over 200,000km with million km batteries already in production you can see where Im going with this. Also they have the potential to run purely on sunlight which is kind of a big deal. I drive old toyotas exclusively also, until they start making sensible Ev's for mere mortal wallets....Which they could already be doing if the fossil fuel gravy train wasn't being protected.

If you'ver never heard of Serpentza or Laowhy86 (aka C-Milk) jump on their respective yt channels. They were both based in China for over a decade and are tapped into the source. Their motorcycle tours are breath taking. Showing you parts of China unimaginable. Unfortunately their honesty crossed the Chinese communist party and they had to flee the country . I imagine there is a hefty price on their heads. This vid is a prime example of why they would never make it out of China alive if they were still there. A shame as they truly love the country and people.

Schadenfreude just oozes out of the video. Communist China's economic rise to become the world's second largest economy (25Tn US, 18Tn China) triggers cognitive dissonance in many Western critics. These critics have been raised to believe Communion can not work so they can not believe China success is real so they constantly dig for problems in its economy. I see no big difference in China's economic difficulties from the typical business cycle of booms and busts in Capitalist systems. for example, US car prices have declined for many models with months if not years worth of new cars on dealers lots as well.

You need to remember that consumer electronics still use more batteries than the car industry. So by your logic to stop the pollution we need to stop buying electronics also that use batteries. Because they are smaller you feel like It's less of an impact, but people change their phones, laptops etc, etc almost every 1 to 2 years and the old one goes to the landfill to pollute more. So we just need to get more serious about our waste. a car battery is much larger, but its used at least 5 to 10 years, and if we actually recycle, we can be much cleaner at the end of the day. Also, burning gas pollutes the air that we breathe.

When you sold a EV you will get subsidy That's the big why.🤣 many of them is low price EV . if the real cost is $5000 but I use the market price to get the subsidy. That's No.1, No.2 is about these shared EV companys to lure the investment
