I am in a bit of a pickle, so I need some advice. We have a 2008 Chrysler T&C 3.8L with a little over 234k on the clock. I am pretty sure we have a bad head gasket. It leaks coolant but there are no puddles, the overflow tank bubbles when I remove the radiator cap (combustion gasses?), it blows...

What does it mean when, in the DM folder for a specific conversation, it shows one of the participants crossed out?

If any of you are familiar in any way with these vehicles, then you know the issue I am talking about. For those that don’t, Chrysler, in its infinite wisdom, decided to use a plastic y-pipe to connect the coolant lines between the heater cores and the engine. Of course, as the vehicle ages, the...

It’s been almost six months since our cat Fraidy passed, and Fabo has been lonely. She still walks the house looking for him and yowling for him. So yesterday, we brought her a sister. Not what she was expecting, though. Everybody, meet Chloe. She’s an 8 week old Mini Australian Shepherd. She is...

Hey everyone. My dad was recently diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer’s. I am trying to raise money to take him on one last fishing trip to the cabins we used to go to in Kentucky. I started a GoFundMe campaign, and any help, even if it’s just to share on your various social media sites, would...

I just wanted to let everyone know that Fraidy, Fabo the 340 Demon Kitty’s brother, passed away today. We gave him the best life we could, and he graced us with nearly 16 years of love. It’s going to be rough around here for awhile, and we don’t know how Fabo is going to take riding solo. I...

Hey, just wanted to drop a quick note to say we hope you’re all doing okay out there. Fabo is doing very well, and it’s hard to believe she’s gonna be 8 this year! Her playmate, Fraidy, is still kicking too, but he’s slowing down. He’s 15 this year. Anyway, drop a reply if you want and let me...

Just thought I would post a couple pictures MommaCat took of Fabo, the 340 Demon Kitty. It's been almost seven years since we found the injured little ball of fur in a Ford dealership parking lot. With the help of KrazyKuda, and many other wonderful members here on the site, we were able to save...

A buddy of mine is restoring his late brother's 1979 Lil Red Express, and needs a replacement driver's door. Doesn't have to be off another Lil Red Express. If I remember right, any D150 driver's door from 71 to 79 should work, but please don't quote me on that! Would prefer something that's in...

In honor of Fabo the 340 Demon Kitty's upcoming 6th birthday, (Yes, SIX!!!), we decided to share some recent pics and a new video MommaCat took today. Fabo is doing really well, and still puts up (to an extent) with the affections from her "boyfriend" Fraidy. Hope you're all doing well, and Fabo...

Seen on a back road while out driving on a nice evening. Sorry for the quality. The light was going and I was still moving when my son took them. I lightened them up a bit so maybe a little more detail would come out. When I first saw this car a week ago, my first thought was Duster, but when I...

Earlier this month, Karl let me know someone was asking about Fabo, the kitten we helped rescue nearly six (yes SIX!!!) years ago, and it reminded me that I really haven't posted any updates on her lately. I had a bunch of photos of her on my last phone, but the SD card got corrupted and I lost...

Neighbor of mine has an 03 GMC Envoy XL 4WD that's in the shop. Supposedly he "blew out" his transfer case and both front and rear differentials. Is it common to lose the transfer case and both differentials at the exact same time, or is the shop blowing smoke up his ***? The shop wants $2k to...

...ended up getting hired into a job you never expected? I have been out of work for almost 5 years, due to a combination of college classes, caring for my wife as a result of a couple of auto accidents, and just general economic instability in my hometown. Luckily the house and cars are paid...

Sad to see something like this. Loved seeing the old cars parked next to the interstate on our way to St. Louis. Hope they can salvage some of the cars and rebuild.

I have a Snapper 28cc gas trimmer that is about 3 years old. I use it maybe 3 or 4 times a summer, at most. I went to start it up today, and at first it ran fine. I got a little trimming done, and then it started bogging down when I hit the throttle. Eventually it died. It started right back up...

Anybody know anything about rebuilding Ford A4LD transmissions? I was taking my son to school this morning, and the transmission on my truck starts trying to go out. No movement in any of the gears. I get it stopped, call my wife, and while I'm talking to her I decide to try reverse, since I'm...

Recently, we were at a flea market in Michigan, and my son saw an old Chevrolet emblem and just had to have it. The price marked on it was, I think, $10, but he was able to get it for all the money he had in his pocket, which was a single dollar. That sparked a new hobby for him. He now collects...

I don't think I could have let this happen in the first place, but I don't know all the particulars. Jeep entombed for 40 years is unearthed from Cape Cod sand dune - The Boston Globe

I always enjoyed watching you tear open the turnbuckles and eat the stuffing. There was never, nor will there ever be, anyone else like you. RIP WWE Legend George 'The Animal' Steele Dies at Age 79

Several months ago, we bought a new homeowner's insurance policy for our house. A buddy of mine has his own agency, and gave us a pretty good deal. Fast forward a month, and we get a letter from said insurance company saying that our roof doesn't meet their standards. The back half of our house...

After being down in the series 3-1, the Cubs battled back and won the World Series after a Game 7 win of 8-7 over the Indians! I have seen enough to know I've seen too much! EDIT: And yes, I know there's another thread on the Cubs/Indians World Series. I just wanted to see CUBS WIN as the...

My first thought was Pantera, but it's more rounded than I remember them and the tail lights don't look right. Anybody know what this is? I could swear I've seen them before, but I can't place it and it's driving me nuts! Thanks in advance, and sorry for the poor photo quality.

Found this in my wife's Facebook feed. If it has been posted elsewhere in the past I apologize. I wasn't quite sure what to search for to make sure it hadn't been posted previously. I'm not an engine guy, so I'm going by what I read in the comments. Supposedly, it WAS a 40 year old 440 block. I...

We'll see what happens, but hopefully it's a good start! Dozens arrested at India call center linked to IRS scam calls Here's the text of the article if you don't want to click the link: NEW DELHI (AP) – Indian police have arrested 70 people and are questioning hundreds more after uncovering...

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere already. I did search, but didn't see anything. If it has, I apologize. Not sure how this person walked away from this, but he was one lucky b*stard!

Well, it was a fun day in the hood today! We get a knock on our door about 3:30pm. I look through the blinds, and there stands a cop holding what looked like an AR-15! I open the door, and he tells me one of my neighbors a few houses down is holed up with some guns, and if we have a basement to...

Wow, can you believe that it's been FOUR years to the day since we found a little injured kitten on that Ford car lot? Four years since KrazyKuda drove over an hour to meet up with people he didn't know and, with help from many of you out there, made sure this little kitten got the medical aid...

Not sure if any of you have seen this, but it's one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen! It's a little long (almost 5 minutes) but it's worth it!

RIP Kenny. Thank you for the decades of entertainment, from Time Bandits to Flash Gordon to Star Wars, and the many in between. You will be missed. Rest easy because they do serve your kind in heaven. Kenny Baker, Star Wars R2-D2 actor, dies aged 81 - BBC News
