Been about 12 days since I quit my part time job now. 3rd day of doordash experiment to see if its worth doing for us. One of the challenges we have right now is I still have the issue of not being able to go over 40mph without revving engine, so I cant go to certain active areas that I would like to. Made a major mistake today. Accepted an offer for an 8+ mile dash. This took us 2 cities away and then we had to drive all the way back for free, so this did not help our profit today. It looked good on the surface because it was over 10 dollars for the delivery but ended up not being such a great deal because the time and gas driving back. Anywho…..we made $19.60 before gas costs in about 2 hours. Not spectacular. We did much better on the short distance dashes. I’m beginning to wonder if this is all worth it. Not quite ready to give up yet, though, as it may just be that we have to figure out which dashes to reject. There’s my update. Thanks for reading. ---

I would think you get paid for extra mileage?? that seems off…not worth it to me anyways…good luck. ---

The longer distance jobs do pay more money, but you end up far from home base and have to drive back. We wont be making that mistake again. From now on probably no more than 3 miles so we can stay near home. > [@jukebox](#): > > not worth it to me anyways Well, if we could get only the close dashes, I figure we could probably make 30 dollars in 2 hours once we get a little better at it. If we did it every weekday that would be 150 dollars a week or 600 dollars a month. It’s not great, but it wouldnt be horrible just to keep some extra income coming in while I’m between jobs. ---

even if I got it off there is no place labeled to put it in. I would still have to go to a shop. ---

The only thing I disliked about DoorDash etc was delivering to apartments was a pain in the ass lols. It was always the worse kind of people. if u live in an apartment u shouldn’t be ordering delivery imo. Houses only. ;). ---

We went out and looked and I think, what I assume is it, takes socket with a long extension on it to get off the nut so you can remove the cap. I dont have my sockets here. They are still at my parents. I may be able to work on it this weekend with my dad when we go over there. Imma call him now. ---

Plus going to need some funnels to get it into the tube. ---

The cap has a 10mm screw if I recall, Phillips. I’ll have to look up the video after work. Is it leaking fluid? If so, can you put clean cardboard under and measure where the leak is from the center of your tire and where across on the body? AI can tell you the source. So can the nature of the leak. Tranny fluid is usually red. ---

Ive seen no indication that its leaking. ---

This may be a different issue. There is supposedly an issue with the radiator fluid leaking into the tansmission on this model. Apparently, you need to replace the radiator and flush the transmission. I have seen no evidence of any leaks so I dont see why it would be low fluid. Fixing a Nissan Xterra radiator/transmission issue (often called SMOD, or “strawberry milkshake of death”) involves **replacing the failing radiator, flushing the transmission, or bypassing the internal cooler entirely**. This prevents coolant from mixing with transmission fluid, which causes severe damage. ---

Does it say if it can lead to full automobile death? I w woulde get that checked out immediately ---

I checked my overflow and radiator fluid. Its not orange or red. The radiator fluid is nice and green like it should be. IDK. I probablly need to take it in. ---
