I trigger the remote start on my 6.4 truck before I shut the key off in the off chance I need to walk away immediately after arrival at my destination.

Aww man that looks a lot like no fun at all.

That's absolutely stupid. My buddy just picked up a 78 fairmont. Build date on the car is 4/78. The shocks on the rear were date stamped 11/77. They never heard of old stock? Especially in your case. It's not like the thing is like a whole model year old either. Anyone ever see that movie "The Rainmaker"? Our policy is to deny all claims? This is a lot like that.

What cummins was in the big truck brad? ISX or a B-series?

Uhh.... Snow? Where are you? Lol

Put the fuel sample in the freezer over night and see what happens to it.

I don't miss hearing "diesel econoline dual alternators". Lol

What's the fuel like in this one?

Undo the flange before the cat, and slide the whole exhaust back and put something in between them to keep the pipes apart and see how it starts after a cold soak. What do the DIST-REGEN-REQ and DIST-REGEN-COMPLETED PIDS read? What about the filter state? Part loaded? Clogged? I forget the pid for that.

That at BRM warehouse, Alex?

Is it a bus/cube van or a regular econoline passenger style van?

LOL!

Depends on how you take the valve covers off I guess. How do you know it needs dummy plugs?

That reads "they want to know if I can get away with just slamming a crankshaft in it"

http://www.accusump.com That's a hell of a good idea Brad. I notice now on their website they're marketing them as turbo oilers now as well.

Those guys that drive those "Port-A-Potty" trucks. I hear they have to take a lot of shit with their work.BA-dum. Tisss! Lol

*hands up*

Notice a lot of "can you show me how to do this?" Which translates to "can you do this for me, because it's hard, and I don't want to do it?

Let me start this by saying I am the ripe old age of 29. I have noticed with two of the apprentices/co op students at my shop a striking similarity. If you are between 18-24 years old, is it not cool to bathe/shower anymore? These kids stink bad. And I'm talking 8am Monday morning. Not like 4 in the afternoon when it's 100 degrees outside. Also, is showing up on time a thing of the past? Neither of these winkies seem to be able to get here by 8. The one kids attitude is "the punch doesn't change until 8:06 (8.0 to 8.1) so i am still on time". No, fuck head. 8:00 is when we start working. That means punched in, lunch in the fridge, and toolbox open. Roll in at 8:05 and then sort everything out. What the fuck? Don't even get me started on the complete lack of listening skills and general skills altogether. That can be for another thread.

That's pretty sweet. As for under hood on my car there is a LOT of space under the hood. Even a hard pass at the drag strip, no inner fenders and a very open cowl moves air through the engine compartment at an alarming rate. Lol. If I change my headers I am going to go to a bigger primary tube likely and will probably end up going around the frame so wrapping won't be an option. What style of racing are you doing?

And with a 3/4" adjustment on the ka-nooter valve, power and drive ability was restored.

I am noticing with striking regularity techs showing a great deal of concern/input of claims getting paid. Are you guys withheld your hours until the claim gets paid? Are you helping out the warranty clerks or are they dumping this stuff back on the techs to get the claims through?

I like turtles.

But the important thing was, I had an onion on my belt. Which was the style at the time.
