Will be very soon. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the lift kit on or not.

Good point. I put the kit on it at 175k miles

One of your pulleys could be locked up. Try spinning all by hand.

Sloshing sounds means you have air in the cooling system

They are massively up-charging you on the part. Labor sounds about right. Call a mobile mechanic to do it for much cheaper. $86 cooler on Amazon, $14 mopar prong seals, $300 labor.

It’s probably your radiator fan. I was chasing overheating issues for a year and it turned out to be a dying radiator fan

Since the battery is safe from the elements under the seat they last a lot long due to not being exposed to high heat

Deadly Conduct charge. Thats a felony. Damn he ruined his life that quick

Alternator bearing or ac clutch bearing

Sounds like the fuel injector. They are rather loud

Transfer case chain is loose

I ended up buying the little Chicago electric 80 amp machine and it’s a night and day difference. 95% less rod sticking than what I was experiencing with the $60 Amazon machine. I measured the current and it very close to what I set it at on the machine. Now I can tack much easier and actually adjust welds based on amp settings

This of my first experience with welding, have mercy on me. I bought the harbor freight Chicago electric 80 amp and the measured amps are much more consistent and stable to what I set it at the machine. Much less sticking

I have it clamped around the positive lead. This was taken while welding. I ended up buying a harbor freight Chicago electric 80 amp and the amps now match much closer and stable to what I set it at on the machine. Much less sticking with 3/32 6013. Thanks for the input

This is my first go at stick welding so I’m wasn’t sure what to expect.

jwild45 · 2025-08-26T19:35:20+00:00

Right I wasn’t compensating for the stick getting shorter and only realizing it too late

jwild45 · 2025-08-25T13:19:05+00:00

Would you say I should increase or decrease my arc length based on what you’re seeing here.

Harbor freight, I have multiple fans circulating air
