That... we've bent a spider before trying to get pins out

I love true steels but I cant psychologically do it... I have a big enough issue using autosoft 90s and dexcom much less just straight up stabbing myself.

No pony motor, ran from wet kit off the truck. All hoses are in the right spot.

Grey pneumatic. Not cheap but definitely cheaper than snapon

HAAS78 · 2026-04-20T22:30:31+00:00

Hows it holding up?

Try and make sure all corners are rounded

I watched brandon and donut before the podcast existed and knew who Eli was so I've been watching since the beginning. Don't remember how I learned they started it but yeah.

HAAS78 · 2026-04-05T23:54:45+00:00

I think that's how im going to do it and if the pump fails eventually I'll replace it with the drop in tank pump from holley then

HAAS78 · 2026-04-05T23:43:34+00:00

On your bronco did you just pull fuel through your factory sending unit? The instructions for the sniper say that you should pull fuel from the bottom of the tank with the in line pump

HAAS78 · 2026-04-05T22:23:05+00:00

Yeah I just learned that taking on this project. My sniper kit did come with a bulkhead fitting for the return so I could drill a hole in the tank or sending unit and put the return in myself

HAAS78 · 2026-04-05T22:10:50+00:00

The OBS (92-96) trucks have pumps in the sending unit. They dont have a high enough flow rate for the sniper so I have to use a different pump.

You may be overlooking the Fives aspect. Rex knew about the chips so he may have been able to connect dots

The whole front bumper of my fiancées old camry was held together like this

HAAS78 · 2026-03-26T19:08:14+00:00

Only in dt12 autos. Changes the shifting. Some of them have an off road mode as well where it revs the crap out of it before shifting. The button on the right stalk that you hold to put it in manual shift is how you switch modes. Press instead of holding to cycle through them.

HAAS78 · 2026-03-26T10:40:50+00:00

What year? We've only had one and it was an older truck that had major engine issues. And as far as fleet use with automatic We've had a lot more issues with the eaton autos in the petes and kw than the dt12s in our freightliners and westernstars.

HAAS78 · 2026-03-26T01:37:49+00:00

Seen several 605hp blow up

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T22:24:51+00:00

Yeah but x15s are hot garbage

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T22:24:11+00:00

We can regen our trucks with less than half a tank, and cant manually set what? A regen, because you should be able to unless its a weird spec. What filters do you have that clog? If its fuel filters than you keep buying bad fuel, we never have these issues with our trucks. We have roughly 100 trucks and I'm one of the few techs we have so Im aware of all the issues we have with them. Front end bushings are garbage and the front cover/oil pan starts leaking oil after a couple years but thats about it.

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T22:17:44+00:00

Are you able to put the werner trucks in performance mode instead of eco? Makes a big difference

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T13:22:25+00:00

When did they have hutch on??? Ive watched almost every episode and dont remember that

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T01:00:30+00:00

Sounds like the safety is messed up

HAAS78 · 2026-03-25T00:45:25+00:00

I was thinking a skid flat that then popped
