I have had that tube for over 20 years.. Nice,I scored a couple tube of the gray on flea bay,but no white to be found,I actually just used some today on an old outboard motor I’m working on,good stuff but the white is the best..

Joey Mack Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I still don't know why Mack got rid of the the White RTV... It seem's to coincide with the Volvo takeover... I do like the Gray RTV... It really does seal quite well.. I dont think I have another old hardened tube.. but...... I have a lot of totes that I havent opened in years.. I can send you the one in the first picture, but it's hard to read the label.. Its hard as tire rubber.. I just kept them as collector items..

tjc transport Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Well, I got my first "battle scar" in 17 years. A car made an illegal left turn from the right turn lane in my blind spot, and ended up across my front bumper. I pushed it about 100 feet before i heard tires screaching around 30 mph and saw the front poke out on he drivr ide of the hood. i stopped, and the car took off like a bat out of hades into oncoming traffic, then ran a red light and dissapeared. front bumper is scraped up, and tweaked both sides into the hood extensions instead of 1 inch away from them, passenger tire is stuffed, passenger side front of hood has tire scrape on it,and license plate is bent. aparently the car was rolling over, because this scuff on the hood frm the front tire is close to 3 foot off the ground. and I have full video of it happening.

mrsmackpaul Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I had the exact same thing happen a few years ago, remember that we drive on the wrong side of the road over here or is that the left and you lot drive on the wrong side of the road,no matter you get the drift Some passed me on my left (passenger side in Australia) and then attempted to make a U turn across the the front of me The first I new about it was the explosion of glass in front of me I couldn't see the car until it got pushed out the drivers side Lucky I was slowing for a red light The drongo gets out and his mum follows and she starts trying to blame me Cut it our lady, her son the driver was good about it and accepted the blame right away I was going slow and the glass was under fuel tanks and drive tyres The mum then lie's to her insurance company claiming she was driving Apart from a couple of scratches on the bull bar and a driving light twisted a bit there was no damage to my truck The little Rav 4 was stuffed Surprised me how silly people can be Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The other day, I had an old man tear the front bumper cover off my little Toyota 'round-town truck. I was going through the parking lot of our local Ingle's market, passing the entrance to the Burger King. This old guy turned directly in front of me. I stopped and laid down on the horn. He kept coming. He hit the bumper just to the driver's side of center. I figured he would stop right about here. But, no. He just kept dragging across the front of it. Went all the way across to the passenger's side. Kept right on going into the BK parking lot and parked just like it was a regular day. He told us he didn't realize he hit us. Told the officer he thought he ran up on the curb. Uh, there's no curb there. It'll be July before my local guy can put new pieces on the little truck. Not a lot of damage, but, damn! If you can't see to the front of your car, and can't hear a horn right in your ear, maybe it's time to hang it up? If this had been out on the highway, somebody could have been killed. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Joey Mack Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 So I base a lot of B.S. opinions off of T.V. Ad's... So Chevy is selling the ''TurboMax'' gas engine.. So, obviously, the new diesel engines are Sh!t boxes, and Electric so-called trucks cant' pull a damn thing.. So now they are re-promoting what actually works.. A gas powered engine.. Diesels have always performed up until pencil pushers mandated DPF's. and then they lost their minds in 2010 with DEF.. and so-on.... 2016 and so-on.. anyway... ''Let's Go Fossil Fuel's'' !!! they aint really fossil fuel's... The Earth Bleed's OIL !!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
