There is also another method to get a tight fit for seamed tube. Look at the horrible freight Pittsburgh gantry crane upright square tubes where I saw it. Use a flat "bushing" to resize an inner dim's of outer tube. You can grind a groove out of the back of the bushing to saddle over the...

I sometimes just watch youtube for ideas or new stuff. Sorta helps me to try and not get stuck in a rut thinking one way.

Have you decided yet? I have one of those forced-air jet blower kerosene heaters and they are a tad loud and being kerosene do smell some. They can blow a lot of heat and you can direct it. As an alternative have you thought about the propane convection heaters. They won't smell as much and...

None of the diesel's had a third door. Seems a lot of the 1990's trucks were typically designated K1500, K2500, or K3500 but referred to as siverado or sierra. GM went more towards designating Silverado and Sierra in the next series of trucks. 1999 was a weird crossover year.

I don't consider what I have done to my 6.5 as increasing pollution. Before I improved things it would belch smoke like crazy if I tried to accelerate hard. Yeah, there are quite a few guys that roll coal but the number of guys that can afford a new truck and then really increase pollution...

I don't know but I would like to see the specs in a clock graphic form. I assume you have seen https://mgispeedware.com/camshaft-calculator/ I would like to see a shaded area of a bar graph superimposed behind the valve opening curve showing the piston position and or speed of piston stroke...

👍 Hopefully it will last a long time too. It's going to be a long while yet til I redo mine.

I don't know are you worried about stroking too much? I have sorta googled some over the years trying to learn as much as I can and saw this thing that is to help adjust hydraulic pedal stroke. I wonder if now that you have taken out all the slack space in the stroke of the system will the...

GM clutches suck. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know how this all comes out. I put a couple of clutches in my truck and need to redo it yet again. The first time I just reassembled it as I had taken it apart. The original owner also had the factory clutch replaced. This wasn't as...

Not that crazy it just depends. Expanding on what Chris said it takes heat to build pressure. It only builds pressure because it is air tight and the thermal expansion of fluid and warmed air in the reservoir of underhood temps. It doesn't really circulate to the expansion tank much. It is...

Do research like Les said sleeve soundS economical. They may have recommendations for machining. I figured the piston was buggered. A bit surparised the wrist pin didn’t knock. I dunno how much do u want to spend for how long? Used engine vs clean it up and rebuild $900. eBay kit. With just...

I have never really worked on a 2 stroke outboard. I don't know might could put a piston in that Force since you can wrench. I wouldn't want to pay to repair it. If you repower go with Susuki, Mercury, or Yamaha might be your long term solution go for best deal you can find. Unfortunately...

Sorry to hear about the engine. I would look at the economics of repower or cutting losses. At 70hp IMO it is underpowered for more than cruising. IMO probably 115hp would have been better suited for that boat min. Below 115hp would be a long drag on a skier. A healthy 70hp would plane...

My truck was parked for a week without use and cranked up fine. Guage read normal 14V after sweep even with the ac fan on low. So I guess I'll wait and see if anything presents further.

I do have to learn what goes on in the background. I had previously gone through the media screen and looked through all the settings I could scroll through and most were off that did not seem functional wifi, data sharing, etc. I don't like On Star and don't have any billed plan but that is...

FYI will update as I know more....... Chime in if you have any similar experiences. Unexpected dead batteries for no apparent reason. Still New truck IMO ~ 3 months old ~ approx 150 hrs 4,900 miles 2020 3500 HD CCLB SRW LT AllStar PKg. Convenience Pkg II BUT most options turned off as...

Super Slick Slick stuff wasn't bad but still maybe a little film. It did help lube up some knots to make them easier to undo. Next I want to try some car interior cleaner that is not suppose to leave a shine or residue of oily feeling.

I tried some fluid film and it’s leaves rope oily feeling was thinking of trying super slick slick stuff.

What are you using for a solar charger? I bought this one at academy sports to try but think I want a better one. I want one I can use for a phone and or speaker. One that will allow several hours of charge. Most of a day and an hour or 3 in the evening. Not too big.

I have washed rope and have some rope in a 5 gallon bucket of water mixed with fabric softener right now. Do you know any spray on product that works or good for solid braid dock lines that keeps them soft?
