I'm glad someone finally said it....

Tech tip, I suggest putting a small zip tie around the fuel lines to keep the nut near the end. It saves the headache of fishing them back up when they slide down the tube.

4 school bus companies, 1 major County transportation company, most of the local ambulances PD and FD, plus contractors and other work vans. I'm way to familiar with subsidizing 6.0l van repairs out of my pocket.

HA!

Ok update time, my own truck early build 03 with 185k miles, it's suffering from morning sickness for a long time but has been good after it warmed up but in the last few months it's been running like crap and the recent record low temperatures in the northeast haven't helped. I had a full set of 4c3z injectors so I stuck them in. I can report zero driveabilty issues.

I just bought Sk long torx sockets 1 40 1 45 and cut it to length. I can buy 4 new Sk sockets for the cost of one snap on.

I haven't been around in a while, I'm saddened by this news

Hey I realize this is an OLD topic,and I haven't been around in a long time. But any other input on this? I need injectors in my own truck (early 03) and want to cheap out and have plenty of 4C injectors around.

X.com no google here buddy

Dont do it!!!!!! I put a set of hypermax gaskets and studs on a truck and they failed big time in less than 5k miles total junk. it pumped so much air into the cooling system it blew the lower rad hose off.

One of the "techs" at my shop put a longblock into a E-bus without the spacer between the crank and flywheel. some how it started but made some sick noises.

I kinda like MATCO box's mine is a three bay plus. This is when I moved it from my old dealership. I bought it on ebay for less than half of what it cost new.

I usually just take a quart oil bottle and cut the bottom off and use it to scoop out any excess oil so when it's reassembled it does not over flow. I don't worry about emptying it completely. Also before you install the filter pour a quart or two of oil into the housing it seems to cut down the cranking time on startup.

My grandparents had a condo right on the Indian river in Titusville FL. about 15 or so miles from the shuttle launch pad. if you drew an east-west line from the launch pad to the corner of US RT 1(S Washington Dr) and Olmsted ave it would point to there patio. I never got to see a shuttle launch in person but I did get to see a rocket launching a satellite once, it was impressive. Grandpa was quite the camera buff so I had many great shots of shuttle launches when I was a kid including the Columbia explosion.

That photo is about a year old but is any typical day in the shop. There is a drive on lift in the spot where that green bus was now making a total of 8 lifts on that side, the left side of that part of the shop has 6 lifts, the wall behind my toolbox (that black covered thing) has 7 more lifts, then there is the "truck shop" with 2 flat bays and one with a lift,the new/used prep area has 3 more lifts, and then we have the portable lifts 2 sets of 4 units that can be moved anywhere.

I work on WAY to many bus's at my shop

I didn't get to see the video. whats the deal?

I had two wisdom teeth out about 15 years ago and it cost allot,I recently had a lower one of the two remaining wisdom teeth crack. It needed to be removed,I went to my union dentist it cost me $0.00 for the oral surgeon and $10 for the pain killers. BTW Brad now I know why you don't live down south any more, you obviously have way to many of your own teeth left.

We have been doing some axles since we got a few palets of them and have been having a bitch of a time with a few. fuel pumps wont work,frozen batterys, one apperently has a headgasket issue and filled the cylinder with coolant while sitting,and just when almost all of them were clear of snow after last weeks warm weather, we got 6" of new snow today.

From the sound of that story the "Critter" was apparently a grumpy old redish gray haired guy that keeps comming over drinking his beer,eatting his borscht,and pissing downstairs....

Well It's clear to me now that SLTS uses this web sight for time study's

Done from home,from my Iphone, my wifes Iphone and I'll do it at the shop tomorow.

nope totaling them and basicly buying them back

The tool (black part) threads into the sparkplug threads and has a forcing screw that pushes the porcelin down.Then you switch the the blue portion of the tool and it uses a LH thread screw to dig into and then extract the plug No hammering no punching no fuss no muss best tool ever.
