My plumber, who i know fairly well and who has been a good family man in our community, is currently out on bond for his second road rage incident in which he shot someone. These have taken place in the last 2 years. This time he had to put up 75,000.00 to make bond. He won't get that...
Many years ago I asked my now departed legendary neighborhood mechanic which oil i should use for my brand shiny new Murray lawn tractor. Without raising up from his stooped position elbows deep in a Chrysler K car (turbo power!), he opined, "son, if there was a recommended viscosity oil for...
Yes indeed it's passing me by but I'm nearly done with my career. I'd love to get into additive manufacturing in fact just now heard my old lead man is alive and kicking and has a small kitchen tabletop business 3d printing fishing and boating gear; good for him!
Thanks for the kind words, machining/toolmaking is a trade i would recommend to anyone. It is actually much easier in our modern era vice the Masters of old techniques and practices. Cnc control means repeatable essentially error less high speed production. You don't even need a...
Yes sir an undamaged and squeaky clean surface is necessary for an accurate read. Of course, a read of the damaged area could be beneficial as well. The industrial diamond tip on our tester just needs a good patch say .0625 in dia. I just used the tester on some dowel pins we made this a.m...
My door sticker on my 2025 Nighthawk with 275/55/20 General Grabbers specs 36psi but as received from dealer were 43 psi on the drivers side and 40 psi on the drinker side...truck felt a little twitchy on the road. Reset to 36 psi....truck is tracking noticeably better.
Very interesting thread and great to read the comments of all the long time techs. One thing I didn't see in reading was any mention of anyone doing hardness tests on failed cams. I have access to a calibrated Rockwell tester at work if anyone wants to send me a spent cam I'll post the Rc...
Oh 13k is expensive for me....that's why I have to make my own out of plywood and baling wire.....but, in comparison to similar, that is quite a good price from what I've seen.
Man that thing is nice, that is an incredible price as well. I don't believe i could manage that weight; my sticker is 900 something payload. But something like that would be ideal on my Chevy HD. That's very nice.
Yes I haven't had a new vehicle with a warranty since 2004 lol. I'm straight from the old world of the vehicle being wheeled into the shop bay at the appointed time and inspected and quite likely repaired while you wait.
Oh I've got a plethora of old Raggedy chevrolets to drive. Everything works fine on my 98 Silverado lol. Don't want to mess with the mirrors manually...i can use them as is i just have to crane my old neck around a bit. The locks work with the fob, just not the door control buttons. It's no...
No doubt. I had an appointment Fri. a.m. and skipped an overtime shift to take the jeep in. Being an old curmudgeon. I envisioned them pulling the truck in at the appointed time, having a look, and possibly repairing it immediately. I'm guessing it's a bad wiring loom maybe.
Nope. Was...
I did check the wiring harness where it plugs in at the passenger footwell, but not the other end inside the door. I agree it seems local to the door. The locks on the passenger side work fine.
I sort of feel like my dealer should be chomping at the bit to handle it for me, but that...
Loving my new Nighthawk....my first new vehicle since 2004....but I'm having issues!
My power mirrors are inop, as is my driverside lock/unlock button.
I made an appt for service and they wanted me to leave it with them for a week!
Am I entitled to a loaner vehicle through Jeep Wave? Looks...
