Aftermarket radiator manufacturers consolidate part numbers all the time. Where the OE will have three part numbers for no secondary coolers, with trans cooler, and with trans and engine oil cooler, in the aftermarket they’ll make the one with all three to cover all bases. So long as it fits and your oe lines connect properly, you’re g2g.
Advance does the same thing as far as hours. Our local has one guy in the store most days until 11-12 every day.
Thats… interesting, considering there’s no metal on a rubber radiator hose. Somethings not adding up there homie.
Sure specialized tools! Vice grips for when the lone wrenches round off the bleeder screws, then bolt extractors for when you snap the hexes off with the vice grips, then electric impact for when you snap the extractors in the bleeders to get the caliper bolts off, then carbide tipped drill bits when you snap off the caliper bolts…
This usually happens when a car without a cat is running too rich (too much fuel not enough air, if the cat is there and working properly, it would burn the fuel that was unburnt in the engine but would quickly become clogged.) The unburnt fuel would soak into the packing of the muffler, and when it gets hot enough, boom. This doesn’t, however, doesnt explain why the car to stop running. There may be multiple issues.
Autozone doesn’t employ mechanics they employ salespeople. If you want it diagnosed properly, take it to a shop.
The loaded voltage is the real issue here, not the ripple. 12.7 loaded is akin to not charging under load. Realistically it is, but just barely, loaded non charging I’d expect it to be lower, like 11.9-12.3. If the alternator is accessible, I’d try cleaning and tightening both connections (one on either end) of the big wire coming off it, and then seeing what the voltage is with the headlights and blower on full.
No, what I’m saying is, they (with 99% certainty) wouldn’t have removed your cat to but one from a yard on it. Wax pencils are used on assembly lines too, not just at scrap yards
If this is in the US, I’m pretty sure you can’t legally buy used catalytic converters from a business to install on a car, only for scrap. Even if it were legal, salvage yards would likely get more money for selling cats for scrap value than they would selling them for use, negating any savings over purchasing an aftermarket cat.
Im just a simple ICE guy, but it sure would make sense to me for manufacturers of EVs to incorporate some manner of 12v float charger into the charging circuit for the big battery.
My ex boss hired a guy one time based solely in the fact he graduated UTI.
This dude was the best example of “buy the diploma, not the education” I’d ever met. Couldn’t diag his way out of a wet paper bag laid down on its side.
