I'm hoping I can still learn something.
How a Turbocharger Works - And What Kills Them
I admit I do not know anything about turbochargers, boost from them, and how to diagnose if something goes wrong. Never owned one, drove one or worked on a car with one. Until now.
So. My daughter owns a 2015 ford escape with the 2.0L ecoboost engine.
Yesterday she had some whitish bluish smoke from the tailpipe and maybe running a little rough. Internet surfing indicates that can sometimes happen with turbos. At first I thought head gasket, but now I am leaning to something else.
One of her coworkers found a broken vacuum hose. Didn't have any tubing so they tried to tape it up. Didn't work of course.
I looked at it with my grandsons, they put a new piece of hose on it. That car uses a vacuum pump as a vacuum source, doesn't come from the intake manifold.
She drove it and for now it is driving normally. She said it drives better than it has in a long time.
So I am doing a learning regimen about this car and found the info linked above and thought I would share.
I paid for a subscription to alldatadiy for this car. It is very hard to find what I am looking for.
Do you guys know of a better online data service I can use??

Trindad Texas Police Dept. is Disbanded
As far as I'm concerned, it's about time. Now disband the mayor and city council.
This is the police department that arrested a woman over a facebook post. 1st Amendment anyone?? Bueller???
She was criticizing the state of the towns water supply. And they arrested her for it.
Then some guy was protesting her arrest, and they arrested HIM.
Then some city officials got fired, including the judge who signed the arrest warrant to arrest the lady for her facebook post. It's quite a story.

Creative Insults
I envy the people that don't know you.
Your two cents is why they're getting rid of pennies.
Does your asshole ever get jealous of the shit that comes out of your mouth.
I love that you don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.
Somewhere out there is a tree providing you oxygen. Find it and apologize.
I know you tried your best. That's what makes it so disappointing.
As an outsider, what's your view on intelligence.

Farting is Good, M'mmKay?
I just read that farting burns 67 calories each time.
So if you fart 52 times you could burn a pound of fat by farting.
I figure I can afford to lose a few pounds.
So I just ordered $30 of Taco Bell.
