This weekends lessons: The #2 brazing tip needs new O rings when the third time you try to light it the whole torch handle ignites. Damage not too bad. dropped it, dragged it outside with my foot turned off the tanks, it went out, lost all the hair on my hands and lower arms. Pot metal cannot be brazed, it turns to goo before the bronze does. If it looks like bronze or copper, it's not, its pot metal with a copper or bronze coating.ou: Bruce
That was a 67 big block car. I saw it happen. I literally felt sick to my stomach. And thats not the first car that a hole in the Dodge hit like that.
The other night when I fired up the second B350 I put in my Jeep it had a lifter ticking and I threw the little B&D flash light. It hooked the wrought iron car port support and swung around and came back and hit me. I can honestly say that after hitting me it will never ever work again...........I got on it with a 3 pound hammer! The next morning I re started the engine and no lifter noise. All is good.
sold my 70 GS Stage One for 200 dollars to a trucker back in 1985.ou: Of course it had a blown motor but the body and interior were cherry. If any one knows of a trucker o No:who bought one back then from Illinois drop me a line.
It just got crushed with nothing on it???????:shock: I've got some just like that and have been told not to use them. 400lbs over should have been factored into the "safety" margin.ou:
Hmm...Where to start.. 1) Changing a thermostat..remove housing and old stat..clean surfaces..apply gasket..re-install bolts..glance over to your right...see new thermostat on rad support!! ou:..did it twice in 10 years!!! 2) Installing converter on input shaft..click 1..click..2..click 3..(sounds like a click)..a few miles later..no GS movement!!!..tranny out...broke the front pump tangs That`s enough for now!! Later,Tony.

Drove my '05 Sierra ext cab Z71 up on them and the left ramp got crushed. Backed off the ramps, checked the sticker on the ramp, it said "GVWR 6500". Checked the sticker on the door jam of the truck, "GVWR 6400 lbs". I thought it was 6000 lbs, but now that I think about it the truck was nearly empty except for the weight of a bedliner, myself, and a couple pieces of junk under the back seat so it still should have been way under the max for those ramps... My dad was directing me up the ramps and he said I went up one of them cockeyed so I figure either that killed it, or the fact that they're probably 15 years old, at least...done many oil changes on those ramps on at least eight different vehicles. The scary part is that I've been underneath the truck twice already on those ramps. :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
so did the hit to the wallet new rule: no beer in garage except when hiding from wife and kids and only if the tools are not being utilized
(accidentally, of course)1989, shot a hole through the end of my left hand index finger with a .357 magnum.
