Are you coming up to Walts for the GTG in a few weeks? Can't remember where you are exactly, but you could come up 77 to Rt 250 into Wooster, bring spring pack along on Friday for them to repair while you wait (if you can get it off yourself) or call ahead and have them make a new one for you to pick up on your way through...Walt's place is not that far from there then...maybe an hour, depending on how you go...pretty much all highway (77, 250, 30, 71) unless you want to do the scenic route, which is more of a direct shot (head down Rt 95 from Wooster) that's how I usually go. Just throwing out ideas...
I am definitely going to Walt's gtg. I think what I wrote is confusing. I got the one side replaced that was broken. The other side is still intact and in good shape. It is a good practice to replace both at the same time because the other side will typically fail around the same time. The other side was replaced 6 months ago by my co worker who did not follow said good practice. Apparently the spring packs are really common, for instance ODOT uses them in their dump/plow trucks. Also it is why they are back ordered because they are in so many trucks. I re read what I wrote and it sounds like it didn't get fixed. Thanks for the help. My bad.
I hate when a valve spring breaks on the burnout. Maybe I can just lap them and put it back together? And sorry for the double pictures
This probably belongs over on welding web, but I am not joining another forum, but I had to share this one. This is the rear shock mount (or lack of) off an '05 Silverado I just bought (for engine only). Yes that is a wrench, and no, I don't know what size.
Holy crap it’s like the rust has taken on a life of its own and formed a wrench to work on itself. Evolution!
Shorted wiring right on top of the fuel injector and next to the fuel rail. Off of a 4.9 300 Ford motor.
Was it shorted wiring for sure or did the injector coil short and overload the wiring? It's pretty common to see signs of heat in those old Bosch TBI systems and those injectors had a relatively high duty cycle already compared to a port injection system. Bigger coils, heavier solenoid parts, only 1 or two injectors in the system, made for a hard working component. And I could could see a 4.9L running near WOT for long periods. EDIT: Ford never did use a TBI on the 4.9L. Apparently I need more coffee and have been playing with too many old Chevy's. EEC-IV was waaaaay better than GM's TBI systems too.
Well had a customer who was bringing me a load of logs show up with his log truck and he could not unload this is the center boom pin from his serco loader had to order a new one from a dealer in western pa it is 2 inches in diameter and supposed to be 14 inches long the other half is still in the boom
