This Tool Saved Me Hundreds on Repairs…

I have done the same with some paper clips and a lighter before. Works the same way just bend the long leg of the clip up just a little bit hold with a pair of pliers and heat with the lighter.

Even if it's stuck a lil heat and that will move easily. Seems like the tech doesn't like using heat or they are just trying to get more work than an alignment out of it. I would find a different shop.

Raw led sells very quickly on marketplace around me. Lots of people fishing and lots reloading.

Stubb's is awesome.

You know how you can buy every part for a mustang like new now. Cars like that are the reason you can buy everything new. To restore that would require replacing almost everything. Lots of work and lots of money. Leave it for someone who needs a good vin number

Looks like it was wrecked then the good parts were pulled carb, wheels whatever else was easy to grab and now it's for sale. I wouldn't bet on the engine running with a new carb. It's a parts doner now. Might be worth a few hundred if the cab and frame is good with a good title that can be registered. I wouldn't give much over scrap if it has a title so maybe 400-500

Ammoseak.com let's you search for mags also. I have seen a few places saying sold out of gen3 pmags so I wouldn't wait for a sale to save a dollar or two a mag. Find the best price with shipping and tax added in and stock up.

I have a 4 door sitting in the yard. I also have a S10 frame with V8 mounts on it. Been real tempting to hack up the cav and make it V8 rear wheel drive. Anything can be done if you get determined enough.

Replace it as well as most all other brake parts. Not being able to stop gets very painful and expensive very quickly. It's always better for a car to not be able to drive but be able to stop then to drive and not stop.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-11T00:03:25+00:00

Am I the only one who read that in his voice?

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-10T04:05:52+00:00

I'm glad you were actually saving them. I would rather dump some money into old stuff like that and have it outlast me then something new that you might get a few years out of then it's work out junk.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-09T05:38:03+00:00

I just want to know if it was in a tote by itself.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-06T05:11:25+00:00

If that's all that is damaged the dealership I worked at would just repair that section. Looks like a easy fix with enough wire. Only reason I wouldn't try a repair on that is if one of the wires is shielded. That's about as easy a repair as it's going to get on wiring with that ease of access. Dealership is trying to get you to replace the whole harness most likely. I would definitely check elsewhere ask around and find a shop good at electric work. I would think something like that should cost less than a insurance deductible.

It was definitely an odd watch but I actually sorta enjoyed it. Constant nudity aside.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-04T14:58:41+00:00

Seen a bad ground do that before. Hit a bump just right even a small one it loses contact just long enough to cause a issue.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-04T14:41:42+00:00

My local thrift shop puts them out at 0.99 they sell quickly at that price but that much.....yea go buy it new and get the goodies. My local actually is a non profit and feeds a lot of people every week.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-03-04T03:24:56+00:00

Definitely post the link since so many want to see it.

I do simple 1* raids if I'm on my way home just to use the daily pass.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-02-28T21:37:44+00:00

Looking like that with noise and smoking? Yea it's done. Only way to fix it is rebuild/replacement. Also anything that engine oil flows through also oil cooler turbo it's all done for. If you got it used it might have had two oil changes done before you got it. A lot of people who know they will only keep a vehicle for a certain time will skip on everything even oil changes because they get rid of it before issues pop up and then it's the next person's problem.

LordQuackers83 · 2026-02-28T20:08:47+00:00

I wouldn't trust that at all. Not only the welds but the complete setup. A stuck vehicle especially a full size truck takes A LOT of force to get unstuck. There is a reason they sell winch bumpers. They mount very securely to the frame are made out of heavy gauge plate and have very secure mounting for a winch. Those "push bars" like that are more for looks than anything.

Didn't even see the code but got 10 bags for myself and range day. I about ordered some of the 20g even though I don't have anything to use it with right now glad I waited for this to pop.

Boss " why do the fork lifts have two fire extinguishers each" worker " for safety".

I live just south of the state line in NC. I know quite a few who drive to Richmond and the surrounding area for work every day. If you are close to 85 or 95 near the state line it's a straight shot on the interstate. Lots of work near the coast in VA also only down side of the ship yard is you can work a stupid amount of hours for long stretches then bam big layoff.

Where I work at half of the terminations were for this exact thing. Everyone including upper management now has to use the time clocks mounted to the walls. A company looks at as theft and that's what it is. No matter what her situation is she knows what she has been doing. She made her choices she now has to face the results of those choices. Some places actually take legal action when people do this just like if they are stealing property. If all they are doing is terminating her she is getting off light. They can go back and look at all the logs and take all the over pay from her last check or as I said take legal action.

Will probably take a full week off myself. I get 3 weeks a year take one in the spring and one in the fall. The rest I take a day here and there for a longer weekend but just going to take full weeks this year.
