    where do you store your engine lift?

    Currently, in my front yard. It's out of the way for me. My wife, however, feels it is very much in the way. :dunno:

    Let's see your toolbox.

    I've been away a while. Changed some things up. Unfortunately, this van seems to be shrinking and now I've gotten sucked into working on front end loaders. Fun times. Will upload pics of the inside if interested.

    Hey I turn 25 in 7 days, so you aren't far behind me lol. Here is an update, probably about 60%moved in at this point. Also considering making a flip top lid, and forklift accessible base/cage thingy. Id like for this to be easily removed and in the shop for when I do very large jobs. And...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Yepp Combilift! After two years with this company I finally forced them to get a service manual for those damn things. For the longest I'd go on a call where the directional function where all outta whack, either stuck in one way or working *** backwards, and I'd just pull and check every...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Hey, I don't know what you guys have goin on over there so no ignorance on your part :D As far as Still, I have a plant that just had us "recondition" 3 80 volt Still trucks, they are Cadillac's in my book haha. Data tags and all said Still, but stickers said linde lol. Ready for this? We are...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Idk if you've ever seen my box, but organization isn't my speciality haha. Oh I've heard rumors we are gonna get setup over here, under the Linde brand of course. Apparently its just not caught on for some reason vs standard hydrostatic drive. Sent from my greasy Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk

    5.4 Triton blew a plug. Confused on helicoil insert.

    That's what I used. I highly doubt this vehicle will see another 20k miles at best, so even if its not the best repair it will get him through the life expectancy of the engine. Sent from my greasy Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk

    5.4 Triton blew a plug. Confused on helicoil insert.

    As a desperate attempt, installed the previously shown kit. Started it, obviously installed plugs and such, ran through a few heat cycles and its great. Will be buying timeserts for future uses. This is a common issue on Komat'su forklifts, so I'll want some better options when I'm in the...

    5.4 Triton blew a plug. Confused on helicoil insert.

    My friend called me saying he blew a plug, thankfully number 1, out of the head on his Expedition. Being the nice guy I am, and having several helicoil kits in my van, I told him he could use mine since he's in a pinch. Unfortunately the "instructions" on the back are confusing, or, I'm too...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Love it! All those thinner drawers look handy. What did that set you back, if you don't mind sharing. I really wish I wasn't a road guy simply so I could buy a big, beautiful box such as this. Although I kinda have a thing for yellow or green. Lol Sent from my greasy Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk

    Tool Breakage Frequency

    I've broken a handful of sockets in 5 years, all chrome, all while using am impact. One snapon 1/4 inch ratchet busted because I was using it on rusted 14mm head exhaust bolts and I pushed as hard as I could. Never had a craftsman, snapon or gearwrench wrench fail, even double wrenching and...
