Speaking of stress, this damn wire popped out and caused the alternator/voltage to just drop nearly leaving me stranded (thankfully a passerby gave me a jump).
What is that connector that is circled? I have access to another vehicle so ill he working on this tomorrow, i just cant have this wire...
I essentially lost consciousness while at my hotel in Cleveland, the VA ER took me in thankfully, but I was out of a commission for a few days after that. Got my mouth wired shut so thats fun, but due to that jaw fracture and misalignment, csnt exactly crawl under and do all I could, so now it...
I figured others who own Squares are from upstate or Long Island, im currently in Long Island sir, but do lmk about those recommendations.
I'm well aware these mechanics work on modern beamers, infinities, audis, etc. Not exactly trying to see someone destroy this thing because they don't know...
Damn, I need to get the oil changed, cant do it myself due to the injury, now I need to find a decent shop to do it without destroying the motor (ive heard the jiffy lube horror stories) wish I could do it myself. (Tell tale signs for a decent/competent place?)
As for the undercoating stuff...
Well boys, the K5 made its way to NYC.
Now im over worried about it rusting out 😭, i already washed it, but theres still salt on the roads which just doesnt help
What type of undercoat should I get it?

Trip is back underway, im making a beeline to NY at this point, got a mouth wired shut, cant stand this anymore

For reference, I am running 5w40.
Im actually finally in my hotel, ill wait a bit for it to cool down so I can do the clamp and hose change, and let the oil get back into the pan. Ill check the level afterwards.
I FOUND THE LEAK

Hose feels mushy, not sure if its coming from the copper part itself though
Any input yall?
When I get to Cleveland and to my Hotel, after letting it cool down, ill reinspect again. I have heavy duty construction mats so ill put that to go under, for all I know thr coolant could be leaking from that end of the hose and trail from there
Current stats...
Sir,
Perhaps it is, hope its not too tight, I tend to avoid overtightening it for that specific reason.
Also, its orange coolant sir, from Oriellys Valvoline
Ill send a video of me touching the hose and inspecting it, im stopped at a store now, ill inspect when its a tad cooler
Also, its...
