    Anybody use a Jack Rod jack stand adaptor?

    Not all floor jacks are created equal, normally when you jack up a car it's to get under it and work on it pushing/pulling/twisting things makes it move on the jack, used on blacktop the jack can sink on on side etc.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Two things I've seen customers do, you need to avoid. The first you seem to have avoided...don't cut the tank while cutting the panel out. Do not screw a patch panel on without knowing if the screw is going to either go into the tank or rub on the tank after installed.

    Need advise on how I should weld this drive shaft.

    Are the ends(yokes) solid steel? If they are you want to cut it at the welds clean it up then tap the new tube over the yoke and weld it there. Some of that style shaft is foam filled to dampen harmonics makes them horrible to weld on.

    What's up with this hanging ground wire?

    That's what I've always thought too but the Comcast installers say they are not allowed to touch any other "customer owned system or device". so they ground their cable demark with a ground rod.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Did you run it through a complete drive cycle? IE until all the monitors cleared. If the exhaust repair truly fixed the the CEL should have gone off on it's own once the O2 passed the test 2 or 3 times, if often takes 2 fails to turn it on.
