  1. To cut a hole in the firewall you'll have to remove the dash and HVAC assembly. Push come to shove, you can see the back of the head real well with the trans removed. Are you pressurizing the cooling system with a coolant pressure tester? This may aid you in finding the exact position of the leak. You can rent one for free at O'Reillys. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/evertough-4771/tools---equipment-16488/rental-tools-16837/rental-tools--air-conditioning---cooling-19163/12095d53bcad/rental-tools-evertough-radiator-cap-test-kit/67085/4700282
  2. The sensor is bad and needs to be replaced. If the sensor isn't needed then remove and put a plug there; to seal the threads I use Permatex no. 2 or Rectorseal no. 5.
  3. I've driven it once but Mike set the Quad to stock before he turned it over to me.
  4. In the FSM section 8 wiring, sub-sections 8W12 and 8W-90. Down load the 2001 Ram FSM here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwDkuRJfDNZEaVhqcm93M0lEM1E/edit

  6. I have one from LMC stored in my trailer that will be install when the rest of the stereo parts get here next week.
  7. Parler APP suspended by Google, Amazon, and Apple for not installing A I to surveil every user content all the time for "radical content". These companies are fine with Twitter and Facebook; the Iotola Komani still has his Twitter account Have Google, Amazon, and Apple become an arm of the progressive thought police? Has 1984 become one of their operation manuals?
  8. In May of 2018 my wife and I spent a week in Yellowstone N P. Now, it seamed, at every scenic stop we came to there would be two to three buses with Chines tourist. After seeing these hordes for a couple of days my wife asked me "What are all the Chines people doing here"? To which I replied "They came to see what they bought". I just order my wardrobe in 2XL and not worry.
  9. It sucks you having to go through the repair process due to a situation not of your making. Looks like a clean repair job.
  10. 1984 “We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'” George Orwell
  11. I striped everything off the truck including weather striping, door handles, 5th wheel hitch mounting, running boards, etc. then sent it to the body shop. They took the windows out, hood and bed off; took every dent out, painted, and installed a new windshield. Now I'm putting it back together with a new grill, dashboard, and upgraded sound system. Pics to follow when done.
  12. He brook down Just outside of Tonopah, NV. He had AAA tow it 128 miles to his aunt's house near Tom's Place, CA. , I rented a trailer and drove 345 miles to get it. On the way up the right rear tire tread pealed in the 108°f temp in the high dessert doing $3500 of damage to the quarter panel.
  13. Here is one example. This type can be used to connect the exhaust manifold to the head pipe on a side mounted engine.
  14. Did this last year. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/54_cab-interior/manual-air-recirculation-control-r694/
  15. Winterized windshield washer fluid, engine coolant condition, tire pressure/condition, diff oil condition, etc. . I carry a spare belt and hoses but never needed them. I've done that route a few times I-15 to the I-70. That one stretch on I-15 through Arizonian is fun. Be safe.
  16. Cardboard is all that I've used for the past 26 years. With cardboard you don't have to jack up the car very high. You can slid in and out from under easily. It helps keep the concrete floor clean under the car. When it gets dirty recycle it and get a new piece. I get all I want from the dealer's parts department or the local Costco.
  17. Pandemic Party Pooper Police (PPPP) telling a bunch of questionably impaired people to get in their cars and drive away. Maybe the police set up a sobriety checkpoint at the bottom of the hill.
  18. Let's see, a three day weekend, so It's either Las Vegas or replacing a heater core.
  19. I've work on cars for 50 years now and I could wright a book on the incompetence, shenanigans, and outright thievery in the automotive repair sector. Here are just three. Around 1997 a customer's daughter, on a Sunday, overheated her car and since it was close to the dealer she had it towed there. Monday morning the dealer called her and gave her an estimate of $3k to RnR the cylinder head, machine work and parts and it could go up if the head is bad. She then called me and I gave her an estimate of $2K. She called the dealer right back and told them not to do any work on it. The service advisor said it was to late and the cylinder head had ben remove and sent to the machine shop for repair. T he customer relented and said OK. The service adviser then ran out to the shop and told the mechanic who had checked the car out to " quick, get the head off the engine. The lady is thinking about taking the car out of here". How do I know this? The mechanic told me; I've known him for 30 years. Around 1986 The parts department asked if I would go to another auto repair shop "show them how to install part". I go there and after showing the owner/mechanic of the place hoe it's done we get to talking. He shows me a BMW He just fixed. He tells me it had and oil leak in this one place but he's going to tell the customer that the leak was some where else so he can charge more money. He then goes on to tell me how "you have to grab the customer by the ba--s and squeeze" to get more money. He then offered me a job there. I politely said no thank you and left. Just the other day I get a call from a long time customer saying she had new tires put on and while there they did a free brake inspection. They tell her the Lexus needs rear brake pads and rotors. I pull a rear tire off and check. Sure enough, the brake pads were at 2mm left but the rotors were still plenty thick. I cleaned and lubed the brackets and calipers, installed new hardware and pads, called it good. They were ready to make money on unneeded parts and labor.
  20. For Automotive engineers this is call job security. I have a cheap Airtex lift pump plumed into the system if I need to prime, like when I replaced the VP44 and then again with the injector change out; other wise the fuse is pulled and it just along for the ride.
  21. I've pulled a lot of Dana differentials apart. Volvo used a Dana 30 in their 240 model and the 31 in the 740/940 model. Yes a spreader is nice to have to get the carrier out but I've seen mechanics use a big pry bar to get them out. When putting it back in a spreader is definitely need. The Dana differential are well built with tight machined tolerances. If you use the same carrier, ring and pion then, the side gears, spider gears, and all bearings can be replaced by using the same shims in the same places. I've done this dozens of times replacing spider gears , carrier and pion bearings. I even did a ring and pion change out once using the same shims with out a problem. Be sure the carrier bearing retaining caps are marked before removing them so they go back the same way they came off. Some times the cap and housing would be marked from the factory with an A on one side and a B on the other. If they aren't marked use a punch to mark them; one dot on the top of left cap and housing and two dots on the top right side cap and housing.
  22. No, they are not. CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season. The US 2020 Corona (CCP) virus infections are over 19,148,000 with 337,612 deaths. Now, are all these deaths really due to the CCP virus or are they purposely misdiagnosed and reported for financial gain/control? These statistics will have to be reviewed with a jaundice eye.
