Thanks Kyle her and momma slept 7 hours. That's a 1st for her


But back to the daily grind. It's 35 degrees at my house love working in the cold NOT. Have a good day guys

Anyone see this meat head that tried to fill 5 gallon buckets with fuel ?

 

Did he live to talk about it Jim

 

Morning everyone, no work today, couldnt get a hold of my boss last night, or this morning, haven't hear from him so I don't know whats going on, oh well. Today I am gonna do the alternator on my dad's truck, and get a few other things done.

 

Roger that

 

Went to the parts store with the alt and bat, they said the alternator was good, and the battery was bad. When I tested the output at my house from the alternator, it dropped down to about 12.5 volts under load. So anyway, I put the new battery in, trucks battery light still coming on, so now I am looking for a new alternator from ford, I'll have to put that in next, damn parts store.

 

I don't trust most of the parts stores. Try finding yourself a local auto electrician to give it a spin. I use one in Collinsville CT and that is the only place that will ever get my alternator business.

 

Yeah I hear ya. Well, whether or not my dad's truck needed a new battery, it got one, the old one was over 6 or 7 years old and he kinda wanted a new one anyway. Went to whaling city ford in new london and got the alternator, 205 bucks, in stock. No el cheapo alternator for dad. It's all back together now and no more problems. Hopefully he will be all set for another 14 years!

Biggest PITA of the day was running around all over the damn place, that and the bolt that holds down the battery hold down block, thing stripped itself out! Went to the hardware store and got a long self tapper, problem solved

 

Yeah the dumb*** was arrested along with the owner. The cops said that the owner should have known what was going on. It was on this morning on Ch.3 news

 

i dont blame him, i would rather use a 5 gallon bucket than use one of these a-hole designed new safety fuel jugs. soon i will be switching my house cans out with some VP cans

 

I only use those metal Eagle brand 5 gallon cans for gas these days. My only 2 plastic ones left are for kerosene and diesel.

 

Good afternoon! Was odd having the sun set at 4:47 today....

Have STTs going on my 17s saturday. Gotta get my other tires off and sold asap now. Like the STTs because unlike most other brands in this size, they arent load range E or have the white outline letters. both of which i want

 

So you want load range E and white letters?

 

Those VP cans are nice, im not sure what kind of gas cans we have but we have 2 metal ones that are pretty old, and work perfectly. have 3 of the new plastic ones for snowmobile gas and one for diesel, with the semi retarded nozzle. the newer ones are just a complete pain in the *** with the little breather system.

 

Yes i do, but in a bigger size

 

The new generator placement system, now down to a one person operation
