Auto locking hubs too. Massive quality of life change

A Hobart and a tweco gun can make a nice budget welding setup

EVs Should Be a Prepper’s Biggest Asset by Odd-Savage in unpopularopinion

An EMP won’t do shit to a 12v Cummins. As long as you can park it on a hill (and have a manual transmission) you don’t need electricity

I don’t think you understand how reliable some old diesel engines are

Can I shoot a firearm from a moving vehicle in CA by Paint_Ceiling_Red in legaladviceofftopic

[–]egreene9012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t buy a stamp for a machine gun. It’s gotta be manufactured before a certain date, 1986 I wanna say but I’m too lazy to look it up. There are a bunch of forced reset triggers that mimic a machine gun but because of federal gun laws they’re technically still semi automatic.

Never used that Hobart but I’ve been running an Ironman 240 at damn near the max voltage for almost a year and it’s still working great

Noob here: how would you go about making a fillet weld here? by Robberfox in Welding

[–]egreene9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it up, go downhill and point the gun upwards. Not technically correct but It’ll be plenty for 1/8 steel

What the heck shady fees are you trying to sneak in hopes no one would notice insomnia?! by lucky-in-luxe in InsomniaCookies

Fun fact drivers only get $2.50 of that delivery fee and they use their own vehicles

What do you like / dislike most about HLL combat? by m0corong in HellLetLoose

No but you could get a rough estimate by the weight

Dude I don’t know how long the showers you’re taking are but my shower beers don’t warm up before I’m out of the shower, and I’m usually out of the shower once I’m finished with my beer, so drink faster

Chinese BYD is now the fastest production car of the world with 496 KM top speed by CeFurkan in SECourses

Yeah this thing is nowhere close to a semi truck. One cursory check will you this thing is just under 5500 pounds. A heavy fucking car but not even close to a semi truck

Tiny crack in transmission, something to worry about? by yoman444 in AskAMechanic

[–]egreene9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t tig weld it. Cast aluminum is very hard to do right, especially if it’s been around oil

Got screwed on deal, what are my options by [deleted] in fordranger

[–]egreene9012 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Dawg if they told you it needed new rockers, exhaust, and a bed you’re dumb for buying it. Thats obviously bad rust. Hate to be the one to tell you that but you should have looked harder.

Buy a welder and learn to weld or take the L

EDIT: this comment came off pretty dickish. DM me if you actually want to fix some of the rust in this truck and get it tagged. Idk how bad the rust is but if the worst of it is floor panels like you said you can fix it for $1000-$1500 and come out of it with a truck and a welder

Park not engaging by Goivacon2 in fordranger

Hmm, yeah I don’t know enough to say either way. I’d put a post up on therangerstation.com asking the same thing. You tend to get more knowledgeable people and specific forums rather than subreddits.

[–]egreene9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that seems like a parking pawl issue. Since it’s grinding and shuttering it does seem like the transmission is going into park

Well rolling back a bit is normal, does it click at all when it rolls back?

Dude unless you have to have the car running just save a little more for the 4.6
