While I'm far from an expert on rust (thank God!!), I know it's difficult to make a determination from pictures unless it's blatant. I've seen some of the resto shows chase rust for feet under paint that was not yet bubbling, and I've seen guys put a hammer through frames that looked fine...

The Chrysler of Japan indeed!!

From what I can see most doctors don't wanna work more than 20 hrs/week. They definitely don't work Fridays and they're booked months or even years out. So, they should be thrilled. Now they can work even less. My dad was recently referred to a large medical center three hours away. The...

So when you contacted them and asked about gear manufacturer, what was the response?

This is the real issue, and it's not just conspiracy theory or anti-AI rhetoric. It's been shown already AI can deduce what the user wants to hear and submit those answers. It has even been caught providing fake links and citations, presumably trusting no one would actually click the links or...

I used to be all about rebates. Now I'm too busy with too little patience and have had some frustrating experiences. I swore them off and I'm at that point where if I try again and something goes wrong I should only be mad at myself for breaking my rule. I don't fault anyone for playing the...

Is the Tone magnetic? I don't see it listed in product specs.

I've been ordering Lube Lockers thru them like a mad man on Amazon. That said, this is obviously not "their" brand They include a flyer with each purchase and I contacted my buddy because he lives in their backyard in Ames IA. He said the company overall is straight-up legit and he purchases...

I too have perceived a decline in service from all three carriers. Packages seem to sit in hubs a day or two longer than they used to. With FedEx, Saturday delivery shows out for delivery and it never arrives with no explanation. I just sent a package Priority Mail to AK and it sat in Seattle...

I always wanted to replace those w SHCSs, but you don't really have line of sight so the problem is KNOWING you need a hex key instead of a thin wall socket NEXT time.

Astro also makes a hex with an eccentric at the end, effectively making for two hex pieces that rotate non-concentric to one another. Theoretically this allows it to bind in the hole. TBH the very few times I've used them they don't work great, but I still like having them in my arsenal...

I was also thinking $12‐15k in SW Colo, assuming PSD. This is entry level diesel territory for the flat brim crowd. I'd much rather get into '99-02 with a PSD. They were more comfortable and better in almost every way. People romanticize these but if you're used to newer vehicles and you've...

That guy's a surgeon with O/A. I mean I'm a metalworker and hot works don't scare me -- I regularly shower in sparks and don't flinch -- but he applies heat very near things that can melt and does a great job. I'd likely set a CV boot on fire ;) And Eric is doing fine. Don't think he won't...

I put some Beck Arnleys in a '93 4Runner that impressed me solely because the boot had a purge nipple for grease to escape when servicing. But B/A is questionable now, although you might be able to find old stock that wasn't made in China? Maybe? AFAIK the vehicle died a few mos later so can't...

I got this out "ok" but we all know stabbing a manual back in is 10x more difficult. I found the shifter housing/top cap wants to hit the body as you pull the trans back. I tried elevating the front of the motor (CTD) but that didn't seem to help much. Maybe I just didn't go high enough...

This '97 3500 4x4 on my lift is hydroboost. Dunno when it started. My wife says her face cream is Hydroboost. You're welcome :D. Maybe some Neutrogena face cream on the rotors would improve performance????

ALL that aftermarket stuff fits, but not without multiple attempts, head scratching, prying, drilling, massaging, occasional liberal use of the BFH, etc. Anymore I just expect to fix their shortcomings, which usually involves some form of minor modification with the welder, plasma or drill. I...

The last time I did a similar transmission (NV3500) I remember the shifter knob threads being incredibly tight. Today's NV4500 was no different. I went digging for a strap wrench and stumbled upon my "tourniquet" oil filter wrench. Still new, never used. I didn't figure it would work but...

I'm doing a '97 3500 Ram 4x4 right now. The RH piston was seized and metal on metal while the left still had 6mm. Here's old pads vs new: Left at 6mm (but of course replacing those pads, too These are all GMT400 brakes, with the same GVWR breaks of 7500 and 8800 in the listings. The part...

This is an interesting take! Perhaps an option, but now you've given me choices....hmmm
