The flex pipe doesn't appear to be the part that's leaking, but the junction of the flex pipe and the Y pipe. The flare of the OE Y-Pipe looks like it has the rot

Using a smoker through a spark plug hole, I found where the leak is. This is just down from the forward converter....can this be repaired or does it need a new Y-pipe? Has anyone welded this area? Doesn’t look like a fun weld given the two materials. Is the flex portion integrated into the...

Something that I can use an impact on or air that has some type of rubber protection pads, basically so it doesn't damage the outside clear coat of the wheel. Hoping to spend less than $200. The Vevor looks well made but I don't see how it won't damage the clear coat. Something basically...

Thank you for all the info....I'm sure the kids will want to watch so a second helmet would also be a consideration. I currently have a cheap HF helmet that was given to me but it's definitely lacking for my taste. I might end up with the Hobart and also grab the Yeswelder now, then add the...

I've owned this jack for about 20 years, Sears 3 1/2 ton, been great but started to slowly leak down and it lost the initial rapid pump. I bought the seal kit from lazzar and I didn't mess with the 'Do not Adjust" screw, but I did replace all the seals in the main piston, jacking piston, the...

These would be a used set of wheels with tires having little to no wear. I have the Defender LTX now, not the (2) and they definitely wear well.

Looking for a spare set of wheels and I see a number of them fitted with these tires. I'm a Michelin fan but never owned a Primacy. For a vehicle the size of a Suburban 1500 are these a suitable tire, mainly for a quiet, smooth ride? Will have decent sidewall, size is 265-65-18.

I was using a Deepstech for awhile, still do if I need to get somewhere over 3' away, but this has replaced it. The fact I can enter a spark plug hole and look back at the valves/combustion chamber is very nice...

Finally picked up a welder, but need a decent helmet. I'm sure at some point I'll end up with a Hobart 3350 or similar, but looking for a sub $250 helmet that has a good field of view I don't know what's good and bad in terms of quality, as well as added protection from the types of screens...

I ended up with the Active 2.0 and love it. A bit more $$ than the Ryobi but puts out alot of water. The newer 2.3 is apparently more noisy and I honestly don't see a need for more than the 2.0 for vehicles. Add a Cox reel and Flexzilla hose and you will be set. I use either the 3.5 or 3.7 nozzles

Not at the moment. The battery terminal is flush with the top of battery so stacking won't work, neither would them being somewhat splayed at about 45 deg, need to be inline. There are a few options especially since I only have about 1 inch of new wire to work with. Definitely want to crimp and...

I have a good hydraulic crimper, I'm trying to see if I can safely crimp two 4 ga wires in a battery lug, I don't have room to stack 2 terminals. If so, what size lug would work giving a proper crimp? Lug similar to this...

My buddy who is a Lennox tech uses that same one I believe. Tempting for a buy once, cry once but can't justify for occasional use.

Oh, sorry...I should have been more specific. I'm looking for the electronic sniffer types. My apologies.

I trust I can stay under $100, if not please post your thoughts. So many cheap models and many mixed reviews, I'd rather pay a little more for a good, repeatable item. What is your goto model? Mainly for auto, but home use is also good.

Downside to that is we only have 15 days to fix and doesn't allow normal, regular personal use but that's tough to enforce. Yeah, that's why I was calling around to see if this was a known issue and they could tell me without seeing it. Our area is $170/hr and the diagnostic fee would be the...

Nice write-up, I will be tackling this for a friend. @wwillson do you have the torque specs for the cooler housing? Thanks.

I talked to a buddy who welds alot and he thinks Miller might be upgrading the 211 to a digital readout, unsure of the release date....which would be a nice upgrade. @sw99 I wonder if the 180 has a serviceable wire feed mechanism? Not a deal breaker but just curious. I like the fact they are...

I was surprised as well, but apparently there's an extension, perhaps to deal with some of these flange cracking issues, not sure. The only dealer ride would be the 1 hour labor rate if it wasn't covered. I get the fact they cannot diagnose over the phone, but the cat is a one-piece part that...

Our Impala (3.6) has an exhaust leak at what appears to be the flange on the front or (LH) side converter. According to a few dealers, this likely falls under the emissions warranty that goes until 2030. They cannot tell me if it's covered which is odd, but no charge to diagnose if it is...
