    Timkens Unit Bearing Failed after 10k Thoughs?

    I work for a parts store and the last bearing we sent out to do a labor claim on went to Timken and they denied the claim because they said it was over tightened. The shop that did it is known for some real quality work. We still warranteed the bearing but they were out of luck on the labor. The...

    Timkens Unit Bearing Failed after 10k Thoughs?

    Supposedly the leading cause of that type of bearing to fail early is incorrect torquing. I would make sure that you use a torque wrench and tighten it to the torque specified on the sticker when you first open the box. If you did do that then I got nuthin. It should have have a warranty if you...

    Blasting Advice......

    I just bought a blast cabinet and have been using it for a couple days with BD. Its was cheap and cuts through rust VERY well. My biggest issue is with the nozzle clogging but I am 99% sure thats due to moisture in the lines. Everything works AWESOME when i first start blasting and after about...

    Your Take on Ebay as Used Snap-on Source

    I love ebay! I make extra money selling things as well as saving money buying items. I had a negative experience once where a seller wasn't happy with the selling price of an item so he shipped my electronics in a cardboard box 4x the size of the item with no packing. I'm really surprised with...

    Rural King is pretty awesome

    Rural King took over an old Kmart building so the place is HUGE! Pricing on alot of things is unheard of in this area. 3.99 for a 12oz can of R134!?! they are normally 5.99 or 6.99, Walmart is almost $10, and Advance and most Autozones are 14.99. Oil is way cheap too and they even have ammo! I...

    Nosy neighbors!

    I bought a house on 2.5 acres and 2 years later the humane society purchases the property next to mine. The lots are long but not that wide. I am told that we are zoned agricultural so there's nothing we can do. I am planning on putting up some large hedges along the property line so at least...

    Where do you guys buy your car parts?

    Its actually pretty common to see OE parts reboxed with numbers on them or milled off. I loved when working for a parts store and someone would ask for something like a water pump for a small block chevy, and then give me an attitude and say well they are ALLLLLLL the same. mmhmmm Ill see you...

    2012 Jeep Wrangler. . . needs new plugs already?

    That plug looks fine. Just like it should with normal wear, it should be rated for 100k miles. I have always had good luck with NGK plugs. I run them in all of my dirtbikes and 4 wheelers, as well as my toyota daily driver and a turbo mustang. I do typically try to stick with OE plugs when...
