Meeting people as a mechanic.

[Gasser64]

you went from finding a junk yard motor and the entire top end needing to be replaced, to 12 hours later, and you can't get the starter to "kick in"? i hope you at least steam cleaned the pistons beofre you slapped the head back on and figured out how to line the cams up on your lunch break. for the first time ever.

Obviously I had help you fucking moron, lol. I never once alluded to anything resembling me doing all the work 100% by myself. Although yes, it was me doing the majority of the work. My 2nd cousin is here helping out his parents. I mean... is this somehow unfathomable to you? Are you that fucking stupid? I guess you think that just because you couldn't do it, nobody could? Don't project your own ineptitude on me bruh. I said up front that it was an intimidating job to me, and that I was a medium mech on a good day.

I wanted to learn how to do this, cause yeah, I like turning wrenches. Part of the reason I'm even a member here, unlike you. Somebody I care about needs something and has helped me out plenty of times, so yeah I'm gonna try to help them out. I never even said I'd be successful. I said I'd give it a shot and she'd be no worse off either way. I'm sure you don't even have a G.E.D, but please at least try to read an interpret what you've read correctly, without rushing in and making all manner of blind assumptions.

Are you sure that you checked all the fuses? There's another set of fuses on the right side in front of the motor mount by the headlight. Its called the IPDM, pull the black cover and it should be a white box. Pull that up and make sure those fuses are good. Look for a blown 15amp fuse #51 by the cooling fan relay, its for the ECM relay and it also supplies power to the intake valve timing solenoid(p1111)

Yeah that was the one I posted up in that pic, and the one I was having trouble finding a diagram for. All the text somehow blurred. But I did finally find it on ebay of all places. Didn't know it was called an "IPDM", i was just calling it "another fuse box" lol

And I did check all the fuses in there and in the other two areas (one under the dash, one on the left side of the engine) but they were all good. Tested the ignition, and starter relays, both good. Just that one EGN MGT fuse blew, so that's what I'm going to focus on. Tomorrow a friend is bringing over that power probe tool, so we can have an easier time tracking down where its coming from.

Wouldn't it make sense to just replace the fuse with what should be there? I'm no mechanic but that'd be my first step.

But what do I know? I blew up the PCM, TCM and the PATS system at the same time in my car.

Just double check your that you didn't pinch any wires in between any bolts or part. I think the wire you are looking for is white and blue. Does the check engine light come on?

We need a garage forum for asser64 to go ask questions.

I know that a lot of you seem to enjoy the DFWM Drama Troupe's antics, but I personally would rather the Usual Suspects that want to air their bullshit in public take it to the Smakatorium (misspelled on purpose).

Seems like a bunch of you "adults" prefer to act like teenagers.

Yeah but it just pops the new fuse when you put a new one in. Today I will try to figger out why its doing that, if he can make it over here. Might not be able to but hopefully he can.

Well i can't be certain, not sure when to look for it. Since the car won't start, would that just be with the key in the "on" position? Probably doesn't matter cause I ran the codes and the only thing it came up with was P1111.

Last night had a customer in a Durango with a hell of a lean to the drivers side front. He asked me to come look at it and I told him he needed to take the wheel off the car to see what was really going on. Still asked me to look, basically the truck was riding on the lower control arm with no suspension movement. I couldn't see under far enough to tell what was really going on but he was asking about the upper ball joint. In my 30 second in the dark parking lot appraisal it appeared the upper ball joint had failed or broken and the truck was completely bottomed out on the lower control arm. His response was ok cool thanks and drove off into the night.
