FL299 03-28-2008 12:10 PM

I looked at a spark plug socket that is limited to 20 ft lb max. It would appear that the top part of the socket will slip - it was wrapped in a shrink wrap type packaging. It had a price of $24.99 so not knowing how well it worked I didn't buy it. Also it was 12 point and it appeared to be longer that an ordinary plug socket which made me question if it would fit in some tight places. It was something new that I did not see before. FYI

My rig is US vehicle but was originally purchased in Canada (carfax info),
then lends up in US ,and then I bought it and bring it back to Canada.Funny story.US 8900lbs trucks ..............anyway read the tread.So I'm here all
computerized and all I can do is to connect it in to my a$$.I'm selling it!!!!.LOL.
As for that 20lbs wrench I have never seen it and i think buying torque wrench
with wider range of inch/pound,foot/pound readings would be best option.
I got craftsman 0-250 inch/pound torque wrench for 50$,tax in,on special(Sears).Small enough to do my plugs.
At least I can use it on everything else.
Got spare PAT's keys so now this is next project.

That is the way I looked at it - I will put the money into an inch pound torque wrench. Don't know why I don't have one by now lol. Perhaps you guys out west could tell me - how easy is it to find a cab for a 1964 F-350 ? Mine got crushed in the ice storm of 1998 and I hope to get around to finding another cab. Nice little truck and I had done a lot of things to it. I can't think of letting it go.
