I’m a believer now. Love the HF HVLP purple spray gun. Sprayed one coat of Behr Premium Plus Flat using color codes found on SS. Borrowed my neighbors 30-gal compressor which was definitely needed over my 6-gal. Will need some touch up on the light spots after it cures a couple of weeks...
What do you think that whole aluminum unit weighs? Bulky but can one person maneuver it? My garage height would not allow permanent installation, but a removable one would be a game changer.
Had the common dirty turbo from a leaking o-ring. Changed the output o-ring and snowman gasket. Cleaned up the rust and almost finished reinstalling. Will cure the paint on the vehicle tomorrow according to instructions while testing for leaks and then reinstall heat shields. Also gave me a...

Successfully repaired my turn signal cancel ring today. Matched up a bolt to fit inside the hole left by the broken off pin. Marked the correct length needed and then hack sawed off the excess along with the bolts head. Chucked the length in a drill and used a file to fine tune the length and...
I recently noticed that my fan began cycling on and off very quickly even when the truck hadn't even warmed up properly. Today, I installed an OEM thermostatic switch and noticed that the original which came with the truck looks quite different. Wondering if the USMC accidently received a...
