Yes, cylinder 1 is.

I suspect he will not be fixing it? His Pilot is fixed. Correct engine repair would be bore and oversize pistons + ? = $$$

I'm guessing their customer service probably kinda *****. I have almost the same lift. Finding accessories/parts isn't very easy. However, it is a fairly common lift that is still manufactured. I swear I ran across a seal kit for those rams and considered buying just to have in stock. I...

It is always nice to find and visually confirm the cause of an engine noise. I often don't get the chance to do so. I suspect a cylinder balance test may have helped pinpoint before teardown? I bought a Grand Cherokee years ago as a repairable that had a "knock" that was hard to pinpoint. (I...

I still like my Amgo 12k 2-post after a couple of years of use now, have not had any real issues with it at all. I do not use it commercially, it lives in my home shop for personal use. My only real wish is that it lifted higher/had longer cylinders. I'm height limited. Build quality is good...

Hybrid Rheem Heat Pump Water Heater $799 after rebate. 51 left at time of this post, I think they started with around 250 units?: HPWH Seems like a great deal to me. If you search the model number in the listing information, you can find more reviews/info. Mostly good, some bad. I suspect...

I went through the same predicament, although I have a larger door in lift bay. I went against my OCD and installed lift off-center to door. I do not need to saw the steering wheel entering, but rather enter somewhat tight to left side of door opening. I'm happy with where I placed it and...

I bought this set years ago (off a tool truck) and that's just how they are. Use them often without issue.

Frustrating promotion and shopping on my end. Website was extremely slow with issues, seems significantly better now. Was able to sign up for an account and apply promo code to an order. Code "successfully applied" message, however discount is not applied to CAT hand tools. Order total does...

^ Dang it. Missed/Unavailable.

You ****. :) I paid a lot more for a used 6s triple bay. Have owned several Matco boxes; well made. I would happily trade my US General for an old Matco...

Been away a few days. Some conflicting recommendations on kinda weird situation. I appreciate them all. Weather has been warming in MN. Lots of moisture in the ground, although it is still frozen except for very shallow. Friday, I took the day off for unrelated reasons. Had our propane...

I use the NAPA aerosol products aforementioned at work. At home I typically do use a light coat of whatever grease is handy post assembly. I have used spray paint previously with good results. Mechanical cleaning first is typically best!

It seems to have done just that? I can find no other reason. I would like to know, but perhaps never will. I will likely just replace. Shop panel is a main panel, there is no other panel. There could be an old splice or something certainly buried along the way? (unknown to me and likely...

Located in central MN - cable in question is aluminum (2-2-2 I think) roughly 120' long, about 100-110' underground. The wire is almost all buried under hard packed gravel driveway and a portion runs under poured shop apron. I believe the cable has been in place for about 23 years. Last...
