I definately agree with this, I have been fighting this very thing for the last several years. When my slab was poured, it was done in halves, 6 months apart due to weather (Winter) and access reasons, The back half is almost entirely on fill, the front is not. About 4 years after it was...

Yea I heard that...unfortunally The 26 years i`ve been at this dealer I have been THE only one that can do transmissions so every single one that has come thru here I have done..And for the last 8 years have a unrepairable back injury from it..It ***** getting old :) While you will never hear...

Well that was real helpful.......dipchit

2 clutches are required for reverse in a 604/41TE Low/reverse which is in the very rear of the case Reverse clutch in the input hub assembly. The Low/reverse is applied in Reverse,Neutral and 1st Reverse clutch is applied in reverse only Low/reverse has an accumulator in the case (next to...

This dude is probably too much for home use but It sure is nice not having to go to other peoples shops every time I needed a TIG Rick

If a TIG is really in your future, don`t skimp, A Transformer TIG will draw alot more than you think especially in unbalanced AC The Lincoln 255 I just got requires 74 amps input at rated output and can touch close to 90 amps input above 180 amps output in unbalanced AC..Now if you have the...

Just out of curiosity, Why ? I have zero experience with any water cooled tig, every one i`ve ever used has been air and to tell the truth it wouldn`t have bothered me one bit for it to be air. in my opinion, one less thing to go wrong. Rick

Just a quick comment, My 9 was noisy also when it was new, as it was used and the scrub blocks wore in it did quiet down quite a bit...Not as quiet as some, but not obnoxious. Rick

I`ve been looking for a TIG for a couple of years, I don`t feel it`s right to continually be using a friends everytime I needed to do something Finally the right priced one came to be, Lets just say, WELL under market value :thumbup: , A simple spark gap adjustment and it welds fantastic. I`m...

This is a sore subject with me, for some stupid reason when I built my shop I felt I needed a big door in the front, 18x10 That is a whole `nuther story It has just been a complete disaster trying to get it sealed up to what I feel is acceptable and so far only most attempts have been short...

That greatly depends on the "patched together" design, In my case the needed 20+ KW gen sets just aren`t that common place to find used, nor cheap new or used, While it is really irrelevant,At the time (11 years ago) we were still struggling from a 3+ times increase in mortgage payments for...

Ah....BAH...alternators and 3-5 HP engines are sissy stuff :lol_hitti Being out in the middle of nothing and totally electric with heat pumps I quickly figured out that a few hours to a few days (4 days this last spring) without water and HVAC sucked.....A 2.2 liter EFI engine out of a Dodge...

While not quite on the same scale of velocity as a modern turbine, sometime when you are bored, grab a common household window screen and hold it in front of fan and feel not only the difference in air flow, but more to the point, the resistance as fan speed is increased. This simple test will...

Since I`m coming to the conclusion that my air to air with electric supplement just isn`t cutting it in my shop, i`ve been tossing around the idea of "dual fueling" it with LP, what are the options ? And yes i`m aware i`m almost too far north for a air to air but that was my choice. I`m...

e-tec Looking good I have a favour to ask, If you could when you get a spare moment, snap a pic of your hood safety catch, My body guy is doing a 74 and I have no idea which one they take, I know it is not like the 71-2`s and am assuming it`s similar to a B body with a longer handle. All i`ve...
