JTFormula Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Nothing better than getting greasy and dirty from getting your hands on your project. There is a big sense of pride turning a wrench and doing the work yourself.We need pictures...

umodelnut Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Dont worry, I'll post the pictures on Photobucket, then post the link on here. We just did a whole buncha other stuff, like we took the back glass out, the passenger door, and the radiator brakets. We also took ALL the wiring and air lines ou of the cab. We also got the gas and brake petal out, and some other stuff.

When I was a young'n helping out my father with one of the F-Models or the firetrucks, if I didnt have grease & dirt from head to toe, ear to ear and in me arse, he would tell me I wasnt working hard enough. I also knew when I was working hard enough depending on how loud my mother screamed "GET HIM INTO THE TUB!" when Dad would bring me home from the shop or the firehouse.

Olivetroad Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 my boy don't want to get his clothes dirtyYou need to check with your local division of health and human services and see if they have outlawed child greasing yet.At least you taught him to use the bed props, and you get extra credit for the orderly toolbox.

TicketMan4u Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Daddy was an Army trained mechanic during WWII. Liked working on Dodge trucks best and ended up working on Chrysler products most of his life. I've been told he was one of the best tune up and electrical systems mechanics many people ever knew. And more importantly he was an honest man. I've seen him many times at the end of the day with his hands dirty but he had a knack about keeping his clothes somewhat but not always pretty clean.He told my sisters when they started driving they better not ever let their cars run out of gas, oil, or overheat because the service stations back then took care of all that. Also they were supposed to keep a dime in their purses at all times to call him in case their car broke down for any reason other than any of the above.Now when I started driving he filled the trunk of my car with tools and parts and told me the same about the gas, oil, and water but added if I called him to come help me when it broke down my hands better be dirty when he got there or he would turn around and go back home and leave me on the side of the road.

Mike Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Good job Vinny. I'll be wanting to see photos also. Mostly the truck. I've been so dirty that my cloths had to be thrown away. Funny you speak of your dad. My dad if I had broken down and had to call him, he would be very angry with me, saying if I had stayed home, this would not have happened. What could I say?mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25906-you-guys-better-read-this/#findComment-125938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to put your head between the transmission and the frame to get the nuts off. And a curved 15/16 wrench.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25906-you-guys-better-read-this/#findComment-125940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you gotta stick your head back in there between your exaust and your heads touching the greasy cab. I did that yesterday. Oh you arms also touching the exaust manifold. Your backs also on the turbo, and on the intake.

yarnall Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'll step in here. It is "aerodynamic". Nothing to do with an arrow. It is the way air moves around things.

Pawel Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah,I've sen it too - just didn't want to appear picky... I was so proud of myself for figgering this one out - I think it was ment to say aerodynamic. Aeros is Greek for air - see, it's almost the sam word as in English. Like they say - to err is human, too really f*ck up you need a computer.
