New England B.S. Thread

Looks red and puss-e still (had to edit, realized what I wrote after I hit reply) Maybe you won the battle...not sure about the war tho

 

Oh it's feeling 1000x better. Must just look worse in the photo . A few days ago it was this, and 2x the size it is now.


It did finally start to move fluid. But the pressure went down and the pain is all but gone.


I think the Epsom salt had much more of an impact than hydrogen peroxide.

 

Epsom Salt draws out better than hydrogen peroxide in my experiences and opinions. My mom (NP) also recommended me to use Epsom Salt

 

Anyone want this? Free.99 (or pay shipping)

Spare tire carrier. Brand new. Just got my Truck back from frame replacement on Friday. I don’t have a spare tire. Took it off so I can eventually mount my air tank.

 

This pic looks better to me. Happy it cleared out.

 

So I guess the new heads mount on with two bolts and I don’t have any choice. My nephew plumbs and he will swing by and give me a hand with it.
If he can’t I will just have to keep manually running it until I do.
Again I will have to swing by the suppliers just to double check

 

What happened to your finger?
Has anybody smashed their fingernail where you ended up loosing it? That’s a drag. I ended putting a common pin under the nail to relieve the pressure because it was throbbing pretty badly. When I removed it it drained the blood.

 

Yup. Big toe, football. 300lb lineman stepped on it with one of his heel cleat spikes. I thought I broke my toe but it got so numb that I didn't have to leave the game. I didn't think it was going to fall off until one day it just came off in my sock. After that you have what looks like a skeleton toe because the skin is so thin you can see your bone through it. The nail took about six months to grow back.

 

Just breaking in the truck right? I might dabble into spark plugs...

 

Best guess was an Infection under the nail from a tungsten stab or hang nail

 

Haha, yeah, you’re only about 130k miles overdue...

 

Plugs are easy. If you need a hand let me know

 

Does it look th same as the other ones? Did it come with any instructions? Sometimes, they’ll tell you how to take them apart because you usually can’t sweat them on with the controller on. Some, you even have to take the guts of the valve out to sweat them on.

 

My truck has 82K and I have replaced twice
Took me about an hour and a half

 

Get a wobble bit! I think I needed a couple extensions also to get at the back plugs.

 

I use a piece of straight 3/eights inch air hose to fit over plug so I could lower it into the port and thread it

 

Exact
Makes a great deal of sense to not sweat it because of components
There is literature in box
I haven’t really have much time to look through it . Got some time nowBrb

 

I've done mine twice. Due for another set in the spring. 153k on a 4cyl.

I have a universal and relief cut extensions along with locking extensions. No worries here. Plugs are cake walk compared to some of the other stuff I do lol

 

I thought the 4 banger plugs were the iridium ones and had a 100k mike service interval?

I changed mine at 50k miles when I had my Tacoma. I know the manual said 30k miles but that seemed a little excessive... plugs were all within spec except 1 at 50k miles, same between 50 and 100

 

Instructions included
Says normally removing power head is not necessary during installation, if you do reinstall ,do it in direction of water flow....
Four screws and a gasket and it pulls off (number wires for location with tape).
I just worry about crud in valve body. I will try to look in for what it’s worth.
I have no idea how old they are.
