Re: what did you do in your garage today? replaced the master cylinder. Hoping that the snow storm they are calling for Christmas day is true.....

yup, here too. Wicked pissa! Milton here

you can't get there from here....lol...welcome!

That tire wear is mostly from running them under inflated at some point in their life cycle. There seems to be a little more wear on the inside edge, which would indicate too much toe out. The Mopar minivans were common to have bad outer tie rod ends too. Which could explain some of the wear...

good ole regular powdered Tide. Hard to beat and smells ok too. :beer:

make sure you understand electrical. All other stuff comes rather easily. If your good with your electrical you will be better than most other guys in your shop. study study study. Know it backwards and forwards. Oh and find another line of work, warranty doesnt pay and all the makers are...

FYI, the maker of the tire does NOT know what vehicle you are going to install their tire on when they make the tire. Therefore the max psi on the sidewall is just for the tire at maximum load. The car maker sets the psi for best all around drivability, note that doesnt always mean best wear...

I raced with Andy at LEE USA....even wrecked with him a couple times...

Cornwell makes good tools. I have 3/8 impact swivel, impact 12pt shallow, impact 6pt shallow and deep and 1/2 impact deep socket sets all from Cornwell. I have a set of metric combo wrenches too. All good stuff and recommended. Their power tools all seemed to be rebadged stuff, but still good...
