Last year when I brought the Corvette out of hibernation, the second day I drove it to work as I was pulling into my spot it started throwing messages on the DIC the engine was running horrible and the check engine light came on. I got out of the car and opened the hood and after a quick once...

This weekend was spent with mostly work around the house. I have some things I want to do in the crawl space but before I started I wanted to address the entrance to the crawl space. My home is old enough that code allowed exterior entrances. One of the previous owners built a nice block...

#1 is the simplest way, and commonly used.

I drove the truck to work today and the new filter is fluttering in the housing, it sounds like a helicopter flying around in the truck. I guess I get to take all of that back apart and figure out what is causing it. Today though I had the unique situation of being invited to two different...

Small update: I decided it had been a while since I changed the cabin filter in my truck, its 7 years old and has 51k miles. During that time I have changed it twice and I realized it had been a while when I was cleaning out the inside last weekend. This one is a little more effort than most...

I don't have a ballast box, right now though I have rimguard in the rear tires which adds another 640lbs according to their charts. In addition to that when I am lifting that much, I have my 72" grooming mower attached. It weighs 620lbs and is as long as it is wide so the center of weight is...

I'm a little late to the conversation on whips but wanted to add, I have been using Blubird hoses for about 6-7 years now and am really happy with their ability to stay clean, flexible and have no leakage problems. I have 3 or 4 of their whips and have had no issues with the swivels leaking. I...

Last time we were using my buddies trailer I noticed one of the fenders had got hit by something. This weekend I needed to buy some wood, so when I borrowed it from him, I decided to work a bit on the fender. Not perfect but I knew when to walk away, before I went backwards. I had some time...

Too long, or?

I'm not sure what you're looking at for sizes, but rivet punches are available commercially and they are hardened which is safe no matter how soft the material you are driving is. This is just one example: Knockout Punch 4 Piece Set

Two weeks ago, my shipment of nuclear grade resin came in. It's just resin for my deionized water system, but calling it "nuclear grade" sounds a lot cooler. Wednesday when I got home from work, I had some time to change out the cartridges. Thursday after work, with the new cartridges...

Are you happy with the size of your oven? I want to build one but debating on one large enough to do one wheel or four at a time.

Agreed, that interval is even more important as they age, and the oil becomes contaminated easier. If it cost $500.00 to change your oil, then there might be a valid argument.

There are dozens of youtube videos about these cobbler machines.

The new hook I bought fixes clearance issues with the mount bolts, there are multiple sellers on Amazon, just search HF quick hitch and don't spend over $30.00. Not the best picture but the new one is pinned to the old one they are the same height at the tip of the hook, the new one is just...

I have been looking at three-point quick hitches for my tractor. A friend has the HF one and it works fine with his implements, I have read mixed reviews and my finish mower works a bit differently than many attachments because it needs to float on its own four wheels. Based on some information...

I rarely drink and while the picture was very real, it was my poor attempt at bud light humor. :}

A month ago, the transmission in my Sierra threw a P0706 code, one of the simple symptoms of which is dirty transmission fluid. In its 51k miles it has been flushed three times for shudder issues, the last being about 18k miles ago. I decided to clear the faut and drive it some more. While I...

I'd like to get a box blade as well, I have some designs on using it to level some areas in the lawn. The box looks great, I like how you did the corners.

Quick update, Monday my buddy got his bumpers all wired up. He added a bunch of new Morimoto lights to the front bumper, white lights that have a spread-out beam, angled to the side and yellow for fog and snow shining straight ahead. He liked the Morimoto headlight housings that I put in my...
