Went by O'Reilly Auto Parts yesterday and found this floor Jack on sale . The one I have , I have had for years ( belonged to my late Dad ) . But it leaks jack oil & I have to top it off from time to time .
Had to jack up the back of the 1991 Caprice , to get both rear wheels odd the ground . Used the old jack to raise the passenger side , jacking against the frame . Shoved a jack stand unser the fraim & let the jack down untill some weight was resting on the jack stand .
Repeated the whole process on the driver side , with the new AC Delco jack . It did not go quite as high as I needed . Do not know if it is just lower to the ground & had to use up some of that reach before it contacted the frame ? Of it just does not have as much reach as the old jack ?
Think I could have used a 4" x 4" wood block between the jack " cradle " & the frame , to make it work better ? I did get the jack stand slid under the frame , so all is well .
Put the AC Delco jack in the trunk of the Sonic . It is lower to the ground .
