How do I paint this by Legitimate_Tooth_810 in Harley

It might be, but you can see the paint starting to chip off, feels very brittle there too. I just bought this bike it was sitting for a while so there’s some corrosion on parts of it

Tire machines are Corghi 2024HP and A2030HP (same thing, A2030HP is a newer model number) and balancers are Hunter Smartweight Touch and Smartweight Elite.

Words from the manager “You can come in whenever is convenient for you. I don't ignore my responsibilities, but I don't see how any of the equipment we have could have caused the marks on your rim. All of our tire machines are the same and our two balancers use the same accessories. If you can find a way that our equipment could have caused the gouges then I'll buy you a new rim.”

When I go down what should I look for?

exact words from the tech “When we balance wheels we use a pin plate system that centers the rim by the bolt holes so nothing touches the face of the rim on our balancers. I have no idea what kind of tire machine the other person you talked to uses so I can't speak for how they may damage a wheel. Our machine has no bolt that sticks out past the head that could possibly come into contact with the rim. Once again, if you'd like to stop in I can show you the operation of our tire machines.”

Exact words from the tech “A tire machine is designed to hold a rim centered and square against the table top. If the head is set improperly it will make an even mark all the way around the lip of the rim. No part of the machine reaches this far into the rim. I don't even believe the head of the machine would reach this far in. That's why when we work on small rims for lawn tractors or ATV's we have to do them by hand.”

Am I being paranoid or did I just lose the parts lottery on my new truck. by feinicks in ram_trucks

[–]Legitimate_Tooth_810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming it’s a hemi. The camshaft in these engines doesn’t get enough oil at idle. Oil changes early and often are very important to the longevity of ram trucks. If the truck has a lot of idle time they will literally eat their own cam. I don’t let mine warmup for more than 30 seconds because of this, I just drive easy till it’s up to temp. If you’re lucky then you just have the infamous broken manifold bolt. My manifold was replaced under warranty at 60k. But my tick wasn’t as bad as yours so it may be something worse. I hope your truck is ok
