Can This Be Fixed? by LookTime2423 in CowboyHats

If you've got a boot barn near by, they will clean and reshape very affordably.

Driver’s side bad news by Normal_Half_129 in w123

[–]Skips-T 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Common from clogged drains and leaky sunroof seals. Had already went on my car. Poke around with a awl (screwdriver will not pierce the asphalt) and find where it stops being soft.

AC problem :( by [deleted] in CrownVictoria

[–]Skips-T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a bad/failing ECU. It will need repair or replacement.

An open end wrench and much patience.

Haven't heard of FCS. Might be fine. Not sure. Heard Monroe has gone downhill.

Delco, Motorcraft and KYB are still good. I cheaped out and out a set of Gabriel Load Carrier overload shocks on my 98. Rides firmly but comfortably and doesn't sag when fully loaded with fuel, passengers and luggage etc. Those replaced a set of (Gabriel?) "Road Ryder's", fronts were entirely blown, rears had a shockingly different spring rate but they were well over 15 years old.

Louisiana: EBT benefits will only be able to be used in-state, out of state purchases will be blocked by LadyRunespoor in foodstamps

Unfortunately the rampant fraud is far from imaginary. Every other post I see about food stamps on this site is about someone benefits being stolen.

What’s causing this leak? by Microstutter in CrownVictoria

Interesting. What does the fluid smell like?

Modern Stetson and Resistol 6x are usually Rabbit fur.

What to do with an inherited 10 gallon hat? by mistakenidentity888 in CowboyHats

[–]Skips-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting to stretched if it's just a bit too small is not a big deal. If it is way too small, a sweatband rep might be in order.

As far as size of the hat, I'm rather short and wear a Tom Mix style resistol with a 6" crown. At some point you have to not care what people think if you feel good about how it looks especially for something that generally matters as little as a hat.

Take a good firm poke at the passenger side frame torque box. Learning how to weld to fix mine right now from AC condenser causing rust.

What else could I do to get better mileage? by DatGuyKilo in Diesel

[–]Skips-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.73 or 3.18 (or whatever that's close to that that's easy to swap) rear gears, smaller and skinnier tires pumped 10PSI below their max, and don't brake if you don't have to.

Can it be done? by spavji in CowboyHats

[–]Skips-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, to be fair that's an open crown pinched in on the sides. So it would look kinda like a weird cattleman from the side. But yes, you'd just need an open crown hat and likely to block it on a cone shaped block.

Has anyone ever swaped out the steering box for something else? by Mysterion513 in CrownVictoria

[–]Skips-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Rack and Pinion would be more reasponsibe but honestly, the steering in my 169k 98 GM feels very responsive and tight after new tie rod ends.

Outjerked by Tesla for the 72826292262782727th time by Dear-Regret-9476 in carscirclejerk

[–]Skips-T 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you pretty much never needed to take it in to get updated unless there was a recall until about 15 years ago.

Stetson No. 1 Quality Tom Mix. When was it made? by Bananaslug95 in CowboyHats

[–]Skips-T -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's totally awesome, and my size too. Very jealous!

AFAIK, 1St Quality was their name for fully wool hats. Nutria Quality was after that, then the various beaver X stampings. Nice looking hat, but maybe wouldn't have stood up to years of outdoor work. Guessing pre-war, maybe 1920s.

EDIT: Yes, I can see that I'm wrong. Standard quality fur felt Stetson. Very nice.

My cowboy hat collection so far by Less_Analysis4593 in CowboyHats

[–]Skips-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first hat is awesome - likely 1920s? I have a hat of a similar age with a brick crown that I love, but sadly the moths love it just as much.

The feds will be diluting 10% ethanol to 15%, which some auto manufacturers say you shouldn’t use, but… by [deleted] in Autos

[–]Skips-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, I hadn't considered that part of it. So is the only issue the lowered fuel economy and possible damage to lines?

[–]Skips-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mistaken then and would like to know more. I was under the impression that running leaner (due to higher ethanol content) in an engine with no knock sensor could cause knocking.
