  1. 'Z' I understand what you are saying.. in all the aspects.. jojo
  2. I bet you have a viscous fan clutch.. if so, check to see if it is easy to rotate when cold, and see if there is oily residue on the back of it where the spindle comes out. If so, replace it, A new thermostat is always a good idea anyway, is the coolant mixed properly? is there dirt between the radiator and C.A.C.? Is the fan shroud in one piece? jojo
  3. if you come across a bolt that feels like it wont turn,,, use a pointed punch and a hammer, and hit directly on the head of the bolt a few dozen times.. then try to turn it.. not a guaranty, but it has worked for me many times.. another thing I have done is drill 1/8" holes into the bolt bore, (Since its junk anyway) and fill it with PB Blaster.. I just did this a few months ago on a C-15, to get the valve spacer off to replace the wire harness.. just be creative and patient.. the cost of parts is higher than the cost of 'time'.... jojo
  4. Well our King just gave a heartfelt speech about the tragedy's where many people were shot and killed and injured.. All of it is terrible.. His list of recent mass shooting's left out 1 other person, who shot-up a N.Y. Subway... I guess it is because of politics... He spoke about mental wellness and checking into their wellness.... Where was he, when Frank James was posting how he was going out to hunt some white people.. It is obviously a concern for only some but not all.. Mental wellness needs to be checked, on-line threats, need to be watched and deemed a concern.. The truth is real and the process is easy, but the lib's demonized, 'profiling and discrimination' those are not racist words, they are about making decisions... Smart one's.... I look forward to the smarter member's to add to what i'm saying... all of these shootings are disgusting!!!!! jojo
  5. Sorry Kim E... I wish you great success.. The list of ridiculous price hike's is huge... I was at Wal-mart today... Not the cheapest place in town anymore.. I had 2 of my customers tell me last month, If I raised my prices (To a point where I keep some money) But still low,,,, that I can pick my tools up and go... I am at $60/hr.. I just wanted to up to $70/hr... jojo
  6. I imagine you could make it work, I guess if the air ports are a different size, you will need to see if there is room for the fittings.. I'm curious...
  7. I'm sorry Guys.. jojo
  8. I know, TJC.. I still shake my head each time I see another blatant attempt at destroying us... I thought treason was punishable by 'death' ??
  9. the shifter is the same, the knob is different... you will need a plumbing diagram... no biggie.. I have all of the books... jojo
  10. I dont know about ratio's for youre need... just pull the shift cover off and look inside.. they are rediculus expensive to fix if a gear is broken.. . if you know how to build one, you have an upper hand... if the main box looks good,, then figure on a synchro job... its easy if it's on the floor, no special tools needed.. setting bearing pre-load is routine.. jojo
  11. and we are still talking about George Floyd, 2 years later,,, A person who has a criminal record that is pages long... so we celebrate him, And he had a horse drawn carriage, and a Gold casket, but the 22 innocent people in Uvaldy, T.X. have a deadline of 6/15/22... What The FU!!K Is Going On??????
  12. So the Lib, news is saying that funeral services for all the soals in Texas will be "DONE" by June 15th... Is that because June 19th' is their only concern, ??? Thank you Joe Biden, for all you do for us..... jojo
  13. OMG!!!!
  14. A while ago, I had the pleasure of taking on one of these issues after 2 mechanics put a turbo, and eecu on the engine. I drove the truck and right in the sweet spot, it would dump the boost and lay down.. After a few days of scratching my head, I checked the 'new' boost sensor part number, and it was the wrong one for that engine. I found a chart for the boost sensors, and saw that the one in the engine had an operating range that was 1.5 volts different from the one that belonged in it.. I wish I could remember the chart and part number.. I think 64MT??? . Iput the correct boost sensor in , and,,,, just like that it was fixed.. jojo
  15. yep... that too... f'n music ....
  16. Bob I lived in O.O.B. for 10years.. and diesel is now a solid $5.69/G here in Slow'sbury, N.C. at my usual fuel stop.. I have to go out for parts tomorrow, so I will look again.. I'm going to put on a back pack and ride one of my Harley's.. 40+ MPG... ..... Oh yeah,,, and Cool too.. almost forgot the fun part in all this... Jojo
  17. 'F' is onto something!! the orings at the tube he is talking about are a pain in the a$$.. all it takes is for the oring to split, and the leak starts.. iit is a squealing sound under a load. you wont see it til you take it apart.. jojo
  18. I went to Fort Knox for basic training in '86. Captain Miller, and Drill Sargent Varnes is all I can remember now,, And, Alpha -19-4 was the unit I was in during training.. I saw the tanks, but never trained in one. My time in the Army was short.. I have always regreted not making a career out of it.. I was raised by combat veteran's. from WW II, Korea, and Vietnam... jojo
  19. we have a company called "Transit Damaged Freight" Furniture store,,, well we went to 2 locations, all was sold 'as-is' nothing was damaged, and the prices were high, I mean 'High'.. Like I said before, we went to 7 stores to compare prices.. and... my wife would kill me if I got a couch from Facebook or Craigslist.. oh yeah, before I forget...... Thank you Joe Biden, for all that you do for us.. jojo
  20. Boy-O-Bouyant....
  21. My wife and i went shopping for a new couch on 5/19/22.. we went to 7 stores.. We found 1 at a store that was 5 miles from home.. This couch was $1299.00, + tax.. I went to pick it up on 5/27/22.. I walked passed the display model of the one we bought, and the price was changed to.... $1699.00.. A $400.00 increase in 1 week... Thanks Joe Biden, for all you do for us... jojo
  22. Well,, maybe there is a chance for us... I have to stand corrected. My wife just home from the store,, The Ivory soap she bought, has a small symbol, saying it IS 99 and 44/100th % pure.. Hoorrayy!!! Jojo
  23. I laugh at myself sometimes.... I knew years ago, that our country was going to Hell, right when I realized the "Ivory Soap" was no longer,, 99 and 44/100th. % pure... Thats when the P.C. B.S. started.... Just for a laugh, but I actually feel this way.. Call me crazy.... "May we remember the dead" this weekend,, They gave their all to keep our country, a country.. Jojo
  24. I dont see how they can do it... A fire dept. near me has just bought an electric fire truck.. What gets me is how they could produce this truck so quickly, concidering how short the timeline is so far.. I dont know how that truck will work. and as far as these magic cars that they claim will go "Up to" 300 miles on a charge... "Up to" being operative words. how far will they go with the Heat or A/C running, while the headlights and wipers are on during a rain or snow storm? I know I will keep driving my gas powered electricity generator, and get where I need to go.. jojo
