    Biting the bullet on torque converter replacement

    Done that most of my life, but not just jack stands use wood blocks as well always support it good.

    Snap-on tool prices are out of sight.

    So those 14mm spark plugs have 12 points instead of a hex?

    I drove with 2 litres below the minimum with a diesel car, what now...

    To answer the question, install a netting under neath to catch the parts. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    What did the prior owner weld to this 1999-2007 Super Duty truck bed

    I wouldn't go 3 miles to look at that dented mess.

    What caused problems on a 351w?

    He must be a body person only. He shouldn't touch anything else. :ROFLMAO:

    TOYOTA possibly bringing small truck ( Corolla ) to compete with FORD Maverick in U.S..

    Nor will any brand new motorcycle. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: And for that same reason many non-family (no big cabs allowed) utility / personal use TRUCKS should not have to either. Since there are many on the roads now that never had to. Its just plain logic, that, yes is essentially...

    Having someone else work on your car.... car guy sin or not?

    Only if the mechanic knows how and works on critical aircraft components, and can do the job with out a hammer and pry bar, and sanding disks. :ROFLMAO: I would like to know an okay mobile tech, that could R&R the major components that I don't want to do the RR on. I just like the bench work...

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    Then why do they continue to build too many new vehicles? Lots are full of new "junk"!

    New car sales dwindling due to high cost

    Its just simple logic. Inexpensive cars and trucks are just not allowed into the US. Why? Gotta keep all those high union wages, and super fancy factory's going some how. In the 50's and 60's, there was no fancy painted factory floors or what ever, those where the days of "KISS" manufacturing...

    What is the danger of using one of the newer oils in old vehicles

    The tolerances are not much different than in the 1950's. A tolerance is a plus or minus from the Nominal dimension. What you are really asking about is are the CLEARANCES TIGHTER NOWADAYS. "Make them accept" seems many are in constant failure mode these days. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    Ring and Pinion pattern thoughts

    Never use red loctite on anything threaded that is coming apart again. That is what the Orange is for. Red is considered permanent. That color (red) should cost $500 for a small tube, I hate that stuff. But then if its not done correctly I suppose the red would be a small bit tighter than blue...

    Under the valve covers 101K miles Honda J35 V6

    If it sat for a few months it would all be rusty, needs some of that gooey sludge to prevent rust. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    The ad's on you tube and fb market about rust remover?

    Is there anything to all that or just some good advertisement? It all sure looks good in those ad's.

    Snap-on hard handle ratchets - discontinued?

    I guess the snap on designers have never used a ratchet? Fat handles are a no no in some very restricted places and some times a small pipe is also needed in those areas. Must be the same idiots that design the engines and transmissions that are now offered. And really who the heck needs a...

    Removing dog smell from inside of vehicle

    I suppose a dog stink is about like cigarette stink as well, that takes for ever to get rid of. I wonder how well Pooph would work?

    Helping a coworker by servicing 2016 Honda HRV

    For the CVT only use the Honda fluid. I would not play dice with them. The failure on those is most always push belt bands breaking.

    Repairing damaged manifold stud and smoothing surface

    All depends on what stainless it is, stainless can gall real easy too. In this case edm won't do anything special a drill and boring end mill can't do. It just won't happen on a drill press.
