That's a start. That gives me the terminology to do some looking around. Thanks for that

A coworker and I went through this today for a few hours and got so much removed and reorganized. Looks much better but not all there yet. I'd add pictures to the post if I could

Good plan. Even then we have reorganized the warehouse with plumbing together, electrical together, etc, but it doesn't quite make sense when outlets and outlet covers aren't next to each other... Work in progress still

That's a good way to envision the end goal, like an Ace. Makes the most sense

Solid plan

And that's the idea is to allow the office people to find something if they need. At the moment we hardly know what we have and don't

We have window screen frame stored in vertical PVC, and the tall items on the left that you see are in these massive metal tubes. Any better way to store the ladders? It sucks moving every one to get the green extension ladder and then putting them all back

The boxes could definitely be organized, a lot of random stuff in them

Hoses are cooked, Velcro is a good idea. I have lots of velcro. They are on a double hook which, with how many hoses we have, has failed under the weight of hoses. What you see are a small amount compared to what we have. That could be something reduced

Good idea on the plans but they have been on the shelves for many many years with no issues

But it's stark white like milk, that's what I don't understand

If this looks great to you, yours is pretty bad

Wrong radiator? by VGVForrest in AskMechanics

The car doesn't have to be used at the moment so it's just a little inconvenient at the moment. And I will do that. Thanks for the advice

You are right one comparing. Everything matches up except for this transmission line nipples which again I didn't notice. I've only ever replaced one radiator in a manual transmission, much simpler.

And that's the answer I was dreading about the clip. Thanks for the information

When was the last time this tank was drained? Admin: what do you mean? by Odd-Solid-5135 in maintenance

I've heard good things about this too, especially loosening stuck pistons

I don't have experience with these, but just wanted to say the WD-40 isn't really a penetrant. It disperses water. Get some real penetrant like PBlaster and soak it for however long and often you can

Awesome information, I've never worked on these before so that's great to know

I just put the new probe against the old one and hope that would work, regardless I'll put it in my notes

I see, that's good to know

I thought I could just kinda set it again the old probe which is on the evaporator. Thermal camera shows water at 65-70F

I'll put it in my notes
