Here in N.E.Ohio, it is common to extend 25% over cost to dealers and jobbers in wholesale for customer retention. Dealer and Aftermarket.

 

In CA that could very well be true, but in N.E. Ohio....not so much.

 

My opinion is you should go in on it 50% with the mechanic. Thirty year-old stuff (especially plastic) DOES break really easily, and sometimes there is no avoiding that. If you offer to work *with* the mechanic then he will do a better job for you; if you're a dick, he'll find a way to get you back.

My opnion.

 

Chris comes in with a solution ! Heaven knows I hate to be a dick....DOH !

 

Does Heaven really know???

 

Regardless....Thanks Chris for diverting my attention away from this thread...
You did Me a favor.

 

Uh huh, 30 year old stuff does break, like when the gardener ran into a light pole while wielding a weed wacker.

The fellow that fixed it...did a wonderful job and since we need more things fixed and the fellow is oughtta work, he's welcome to come here and do it.

Same deal as before, kiddo...

 

Ha!!!! That light pole that was all rusted and was gonna fall down the next time the wind got strong?

Yes, thank you, and I am really wanting to get a new job that allows me to start a few weeks out so I have time to go out THERE and help YOU before you & SWMBO leave (I still have your e-mail in which you gave the dates)! I really want to deal with your Pagoda lamps for some reason.

 

I'm thinking things are a tad bit different on the West Coast vs. the Mid-West....lol.

 

Who needs email when you can use the "Ameche."

And by the way, if I pick you up at LAX, I now have a blue 2015 F150 Stuper Crew with the same handicap plates I had on the 2011 F150 Stuper Crew.

 

See how that works Heap?? A family, void of idiocy.

 

Thanks for the drawing.
So it looks like it has 4 lines to it? 2 in and 2 out? I take it, it is just a canister filter with quick release fittings?
There has to be a way to replace this with something else off the shelf.
I will have to look closer at the fuel filter on my work truck, 2012 KW T800 with a Cummings 425 to see how that is plumbed.


Anyone have a real picture of this maybe out of the truck on the bench?
What size are the 4 lines? Do you think if you found a filter with say 3/4" in/out could a "T" or "Y" if you could find one to run the 2 lines in & out with?

I am the idiot here, I had to go look up what he is referring to... an "Ameche" as a telephone is something I've never encountered; I remember him (Don Ameche) in a movie about space aliens (I think) it had Brian Keith in it (I think) something about taking lots of senior folks on a spaceship to a planet where they'll live forever or sumthin'.

But a telephone? Never heard of that reference... is such phone a wooden box mounted on the wall with a hand-operated crank on the side?

 

So, now I know what vehicle to watch circle around the airport as you try to locate & identify me standing out on the curb.

 

Just wear your bra, he can't miss you
