  1. I don't know but when I was young I discovered you could remove the end of each upper an lower rad hose and place the garden hose inside squeezing the rad hose around the garden hose best you can and have someone turn on the garden hose at various levels. Got a lot of crap out the other end, especially when you flushed it backward to what the coolant flows when engine runs. Wow! lots a crap came out. I adapt the garden hose to flush the heater core back and forth that way too.
  2. Watch out for Dripley he puts two stroke oil in his 15 nail guns and his 21 rifles.
  3. Thanks boss..... These trucks will go forever with just a few mods... another one is the timbo APPS that should go with a new VP
  4. VP was designed for the old non ULSD with higher lubricity. The vp stays cooler with fuel pressures over 14 all the time and adding 2 stroke oil to every tank. Do not drive it if F/P is not over 14. How come you guys always leave it up to me to tell this to these poor guys with VP woes? Ought to make it a prerequisite that you can't join this club unless you have good fuel pressure, a half inch line kit, fuel pressure gauge and 2 stroke bottles laying all over the yard
  5. What makes the glow? Is Tritium on the periodic chart or does it come from meteorite or something?
  6. I have crimped to some degree after being soldered . Also using shrink tube with adhesive. But shrink tube with the adhesive is hard to find for some reason.
  7. Is it possible to buy the dies and do the crimping in a bench vise instead of buying the tool? I've often thought about getting a casting for the battery clamps and just melt the lead and cast them yourself with the cable in the hot lead. One item I have done in the past is getting copper tubing the correct size, crimping that on the cable. Then flatten out the end in the vise and drill a hole for the stud thru the flat portion. I think high quality copper used to make your own large wire lugs is good but larger battery cables in 2/0 is different.
  8. Yeah... hand crafted log homes are very nice. I priced them and found just the shell cost what my kit home cost completed. 3 kids in a single wide mobile was crowded and the wife is saying just do the kit and it will be fine. We were lucky enough to get the property and be able to do it. Be nice to get a metal detector going around that old fur trappers cabin.
  9. Tires I bought from Les Schwab look very similar in tread, tread deth, even pattern and do very well in snow and ice.
  10. And the folks around there are nice... treat you like family wherever you go. Another morning pic..... Outside of our kit style log home we built. Just like Lincoln Logs.
  11. My spot is available as long as you can clean up the beer cans from last time. Visiting there there is a bit like going back in time. Sort a like the rest of the world has spun by for years. Pics make me wish I did not sell my ATV so I could do the 100 with you.
  12. The 'Hoser' remembers everything.
  13. I lived there in the early 60's. I'm an old guy with worn ball joints.
  14. Your safe as long as you don't argue tire pressure/ weight ratios
  15. I will do that . Used to live in Oak Harbor on Whidbey island. Tile job looks straight , I can't see wavy walls
  16. Thanks, I had my boat thru there a couple times.
  17. Katoom..... this argument you started over tires...... when your at the 2017 eclipse, I'm lettin' Michael use my 12 gallon squirt gun.
  18. At least we know it won't spread to Annetts'.... Right IBM? Have to make sure on that. I don't think it will be any kind of racial war. If it ever happens it could be between the conservatives and the liberalists who have little to no reason when they pass laws and harm America. They are harming our little ones with all this wishey washey ungodly controversy. They want gun control instead of building good consciences in our young children. I do work with a lot of folks that originate from different parts of the world and most are conservative honest folks that would not want any controversial laws passed that cause problems / tie up the courts spreading across the country.
  19. Thank you Brett for explaining that didn't mean to have to make you do a whole article write up though I think it should be put in the article data base though. It's a good one I think.
  20. I know what you mean. My clients are talking about it too. Saying why go anywhere it's getting too nuts to go anywhere.
  21. Sorry about that cause if Hillary gets elected we won't be able to carry gender specific names anymore cause it might be discrimination against those that are confused.
  22. I was thinking of walling it off, putting violent criminals in there, let them fend for themselves and get the money what I save the gov't.
  23. After you check the tank for good uncontaminated diesel put some 2 stroke oil in the fuel for added lubricity. Do you have fuel pressure above 14 while trying to accelerate down the road?
