Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Lol. Gives me something to do in my spare time. His brother will be back from Korea next week and can give me a hand to get caught up while he is home on leave. Normally it's breaks or other simple stuff. Just this time 1 needs automatic transfer rebuilt and another one he ran hot and lost the front seal in the transmission. So easier with 2 guys
I don't know near that much about cars. I used to do some of my own work but not much any more. Since I've had a company car for years I haven't had to do anything except on my wife's car and if it's too complicated then I figure I'm better off paying someone to do it instead of screwing it up worse and then paying someone to fix it.
New cars are actually easier. You just have to buy a 200-300 code scanner. Then if something goes wrong you download the codes and replace parts. The problem is all the speciality tools you need to do it. I make sure all of his cars are 1980 or older so its normally really easy fixes
That's more my speed. My brother in law is a pretty good mechanic and has a code scanner and most tools. He works on his own.
For the newer cars a good code scanner is a must have. A friend of the family's came over with her Kia. Said the check engine light came on a couple miles after she left the gas station. She had called my wife to see if she could meet her at the repair shop and give her a ride home. My wife told her to just bring it over. Pulled the codes and it said to check the gas cap. Bigger then heck she didn't get cap tightened down. That was enough to change the pressure in fuel system and tripped the sensor.
I've heard of that one before. We had a mystery error on the pathfinder we got rid of and the garage never could figure it out. They wouldn't find anything and would clear it but it always came back.
Yeah some of them will just drive you insane. My wife's jeep kept giving me an error of low fuel ratio. It kept increasing the gas in the mix. Scanner said o2 sensor was reading high O2. I replaced sensor and still did it. I started checking the exhaust since sensor is actually by the muffler and there was a hole in the exhaust manifold. It was dragging in outside air. Sensor was reading perfectly that there was to much O2 in the exhaust but if I hadn't thought to start checking other stuff I never would've fixed the actual problem
Growing up on the ranch my dad made us fix our own stuff then 4 years of auto shop in high school. After that it was just a matter of teaching myself on each car we bought once the warranty ran out. I figured 20 bucks for the manual and a few tools was better then paying somebody 85 bucks an hour plus parts. I can tear down and rebuild old fords in my sleep. The newer stuff takes a little longer but I get it done
That's a very valuable skill. The older I get, the less interested I am in working on my own cars. Not to mention that they're too new and I know nothing about them. I'm glad we've got five year bumper to bumper on the wife's car. Too bad that doesn't cover body work too.
I would tell them since it has bumper to bumper and the bumper got broke its covered. I tend to hang on to vehicles well past warranty is up. My new truck is a 2001 but its a lot newer than my old truck which is a 1978.
Us too. We had the pathfinder for almost twelve years and I plan on having the new one for a while after its paid for.
I try to reserach long lasting motors and buy those. My last truck was over 53k to buy. I figure if I can get 20+ years out of a vehicle then it was good investment
2001 Ford F350 Super duty crew cab duelly 4x4. Has the 7.3 liter Diesel engine. 6 speed manual transmission. Fully loaded. It's like a tank
That's kinda what I figured. I'll bet it's a beast and can pull just about anything.
The heaviest I've pulled so far is a concrete truck with 9 yards of concrete in it that couldn't make it up the hill into a job site. Has 4:10 gears so if I lock it in 4 wheel drive and shift into granny low I can pretty much move anything I want
