Guess nobody is home.

Troy I have a pressure washer question. My father in law pressure washer is s not bypassing the water when sitting idling. Keeps building pressure loading the engine. Is there a bypass valve stuck?




Thanks for any help

Jim the unloader valve is stuck. The red **** you see there is where the unloader valve is located underneath it. The red **** is used to set the pressure. More than likely you are going to need an unloader kit. Sometimes you can pull it apart and use a little grease to lube it up but that usually is just a quick fix if it even helps.

Thank you Troy I'll check it out. Does it just screw out? Anything to watch out for when taking it apart?

The red **** will either screw off or just pull off and then you will get to the main part that will also screw out. Just pay attention in case there are any loose parts such as a spring, washers etc. You might be able to look up the brand of washer with the model number online and find a parts diagram online.

More that my truck isn't and all the other crap going on we just said the heck with it this time. Too much BS for everyone to get us there and back home. I do appreciate the offers though.

Hello everybody.

I had the pleasure of replacing the tie rod ends on my pickup. The alignment is close enough. LOL


I was going to replace the drag link end link at the knuckle but I didn't want to horse around with trying to get the steering wheel centered. I'll probably order a drag link as well. That should be all of the steering joints on the truck then.

Looks like NAPA has the steering box for about $165.

Good evening everyone ... finally done with this semester. This class sucked!!!! That was a LOOOONNNNGGGGG 8 weeks.

The professor is obviously extremely smart about the field of finance and investments. When it comes to actually teaching it .. that's a different story. If I got 50% on the final, I'll consider that a gift. We'll see what the curve ends up being.

Done with that class. The material will come back to haunt me in a future class ... I've already been warned.

How is everyone here?
