Yes,,have a very Happy Birthday Paul,,,,,,,randyp

Rob, I just read an article in Popular Mechanics magazine, car repair section. A consumer wrote in about having to replace front CV joints and wheel bearings bout every 6 months and dealer could not figure out why they kept failing. He said they would start making unusual noises very soon after replacement, then shortly after, fail again, dealer mechanic was stymied. PM magazines diagnosis, which they also said was not that unusual, is that the car had a bad grounding strap or maybe two, so current was finding an easier, lower resistance path from engine to chassis passing through the wheel bearings, axles, and CV joint internals. The high current, transmitted through small points of contact between the machined races and the rollers or balls, strikes tiny arcs, damaging the smooth surfaces. Within a few hundred miles, the joint or bearing fails. I have always been careful welding on trucks, bout where locating ground, so as not to route current through wheel bearings. I thought was an interesting article, a lil unusual, but worth passing on. You gave a good dissertation in a post good while back bout importance of good clean, tight electrical connections, so, there you go Dr. Rob! randyp

I got fired from a gas station when i was 14, dough popped the bosses son right square in his ugly ole left eye. He was 16, talking shit down to me, I got nuff of it so I let him have it. I earned every bit of that firing, it was worth it. Wish I had a pic of his eye the next day, I done a right good pop on that SOB, I didnt work there no more, but he gave me a good wide berth after that. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. randyp

Well Happy Birthday David, its your day, hope it is a great one and you have many more,,enjoy! randyp

Rob, as a young strapping lad, I did my time plowing, and can honestly say, a tractor was the bestest, most wonderfullest, invention ever invented. Plowing behind a horse or mule is some of the hardest work in this here world!
