I am not liking the dual tire up front look especially on the street where it has no benefit.

I want to be clear my previous comments on additives only relates to crank case oil. I believe there is much benefit to be had from fuel additives in the right situation but like anything else there are good and bad ones.

This is nice.

I spent one year as a apprentice under a ford technician then went to Mazda for 7 years after that I worked for emergency one as a electrician manufacturing custom fire trucks for about 2 years. Then I decided to go to the parts side of things and worked in the aftermarket as a parts sales...

I have spent most of my working career in the automotive dealers as a technician. So yes but mostly with smaller gasoline engines.

Black stone labs will test any type of automotive fluid and give you complete analysis for something stupid cheap like $25. So if one was genuinely concerned take a sample and send it in they will tell you all you need to know. They are so specific they can tell you what components are wearing...

In most cases off the shelf oil is more than sufficient for the use that a hobbyist is putting these engines through. When you start adding things to the oil you buy there can be adverse effects that you do not expect. Yes adding zddp sounds like a great idea and it may be in most cases but how...

I have spent hours researching oil and additives and to sum it up I will say that they are not necessary. If you use any form of quality oil then the additive package in that oil is already engineered to the point that additives would disrupt the balance of the original base additive package. So...

Let us know if they recover

I think that torque multiplier just may be my next tool purchase. I have the 3/8 drive Milwaukee fuel from when I worked at the car dealership it was literally my right hand. I can not say enough about Milwaukee quality they are the best electric tools no other brand even comes close not even...

What about a 24 inch breaker bar and a price of pipe.

Poor connections and weak batteries could cause the described problem. I have seen batteries that were bad only have enough juice to click the solenoid but if you tried 3/5 times they would crank just fine. When batteries go bad lead flakes off the plates and settles to the bottom causing...

If they are not the same weight that is a huge problem

Sounds like one heck of a project

I just asked my wife to order one of those candles I wonder how long she will look for it

As long as you make a good connection with good conductivity and properly seal it from the elements you will be fine. Solder in my opinion is the best way to make a connection but often times is less convenient. We tend to do what is easier

Tinning the wire is quite effective when done properly. When done improperly is way worse than not tinning at all

Like you said in your previous post solder is not particularly the proper repair for household voltage but this is a automotive forum. In the low voltage stuff we will be working on there is nothing wrong with using solder as a repair. I would recommend that people use what they are comfortable...

The truck.

Well done.
