I can only imagine how many tickets a trooper would write if he saw that? Unsafe Equipment :confused: Damaging a public roadway, failure to maintain control... This could be a major ticket writing party for the cops.

I think this cleans the deposits off the valves to get a better seal with less valve delay from sticking. I sell Amsoil and they make an aerosol product for the same purpose, I think it is called Power Foam. If anyone is interested in that product just find a local dealer and ask them about it...

I went to a community college and I took TIG welding, alternative fuels and any other class I thought would be helpful in addition to my mechanic program; I think I took every electrical class they offered through automotive to be up-to-date on newer cars. The PELL grant barely covered the...

I never heard of e-GAY?.... sounds like a queer site or a bad type-O :slam

I have an ASE badge on my arm with a Gold stripe (Master) and can't find a job that pays over minimum wage lmao. The problem is that these places want cheap labor and expect the technician to bring thousands of dollars of tools and pay less than what it costs to make a living. I actually...

Its true: if you have low cranking voltage, it won't fire. If the voltage drops below 10v most cars will not start... The standard load test on a battery must be above 9.6v to be acceptable... Thanks for reminding everyone not to overlook a battery problem

Allison is a HD trans for a Pick-up truck up to a city Bus and Trash Trucks... They are a very durable tranny LOL @ putting it in a Mark

Sounds like a "Diagonal Split" braking system. The left front may not have as much pressure under a hard application. I am not up to date with your braking system but it may be a 'master cylinder' or a 'control valve' problem. Some of the other guys on here may have some technical advise to...

You will need a barrel to store waste materials in for oil and antifreeze to be compliant with EPA guidelines. This is a link with some general regulations, Texas will be similar because it must be compliant with federal guidelines...

I would buy a decent ratchet, quality at sears is not what it used to be and the manager can be a prick.

I agree that you need decent hand tools, the basic stuff. These guys make a lot of sense because the reason for failure is poor management. No matter what you say, someone is going to argue with you about your tools and the brand name... I would check into auctions in your area because you can...

I have the 40" tool box in your link and be sure to get the ball bearing slides or the drawers will not go in and out with heavy use... I went to college and got a degree. My instructor said to buy tools for the type of work you are planning to do and buy the rest as you need them. I think the...

I have seen new tires shake the steering wheel out of your hand, its just a bad tire. It reminds me of the movie "My cousin Vinny" when this black man said "You got mud in your Tires."

Did anyone consider the original posting stated there was electrical problems such as dimming lights that may indicate a voltage drop from a bad connection, bad fusible link or something other than the fuel pump itself.... If the fuel pump has low voltage, it won't pump any pressure close to the...

That's the way things work in accounting, "Book Value" is based on age and replacement cost. Vehicles have no real value unless they are in MINT condition. Book value vs replacement cost is difficult to understand and in most cases it is better to take salvage value and apply that to a new...

I have come to realize "It is not what you know, but who you know." I have applied for hundreds of jobs in the past two years and only been called a few times for an interview. I now realize that employment in this country is only offered to young people who have never been exposed to bad...

They know the alcohol causes corrosion problems and the BTU value is lower. One of the guys I was in business class with ran a gas station and he said gas will soon be 20% ethanol. When the fuel truck delivers gas, the driver adds octane boost to the tank. In some counties, MTBE is added to meet...

Here is my background: I have a two-year degree in truck repair (issued 2007), ASE Master Certified with previous hands-on experience. I have also completed a one-year diploma in Business Administration at the same school. This is my issue: The last job I was on, my supervisor was intimidated...

All gas comes out of the same hose, the difference is the additives. Octane boost is added to plus and premium grades to make the proper octane. The amount I suggested is only a trace. Alcohol in gas absorbs moisture and promotes deposit formation, it also creates wear on the injectors. I have...

There are two windings: a "pull in" winding and a "hold in" winding that affect EMF. It is more likely one is shorted under the cap or may even has an open field.
