South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I am assuming this is MIG process?

 

Dorman, surprisingly enough, has a wide selection. I used them on my SAS on the S10 when I upgraded to 9/16 bolts

 

Anyone done a temporary fix for a torn cv boot? Found a tear in mine and put marine sealant on it, not sure if it'll make it the whole week until my new boots come in

 

Yea I'm paranoid now that I'll have to replace the whole assembly. It had to have happened in the last week so hopefully no permanent damage. No way to tell if the sealant worked until I drive it.

 

I have the option to steal my wife's car for a few days, but when she works I'll have to take the truck

 

Half of the campus has off tomorrow, the other half works. It's a weird thing with some folks employed by Greenwood (mostly factory folks), the other half by New York/Tokyo (mostly admin type folks).

 

They have a guy that comes in and does lift kits and stuff. I won't use them again.

 

It is, I did the bushing two years ago but good lookin out

I figured since I'm gonna be in there I ordered a new outer tie rod to replace the one on that side that's been electrical tape for a few years lol

 

Yup...and it held better than an OEM toyota replacement boot. Ended up just swapping out the whole CV for a new OEM because the boot kept slipping and slinging grease.

 

Damn you sealed the hell out of that thing! Maybe I'll do another coat on mine. I ordered those SDHQ boots, reviews look good on them

 

Used an inner tube self adhesive patch over the hole then multiple coats of pliable rubber cement. Under all that was a small puncture that never leaked a bit after the repair.

 

Using a patch is a solid idea. Since I've already slapped sealant on there I might cut up one of my old mtb tubes and ziptie over it

 

OME setup goes on tomorrow.

 

Spray those shocks with some protective film, mine are rusty as hell already

 

shop in Greenville doing it for you?

 

Split boots exist for this very reason, and are often used long term.

 

Great thinking outside the box. I'd never have thought to use an inner tube patch.

 

Hmm I almost picked one of those up today, but read a lot of complaints on here about them. I'm just trying to make it a week so I probably should've tried it

 

Weird. Don’t usually here too many people complain about rust except on older vehicles.

 

Yea its weird how much mine have rusted in two years. Might reach out to their support team before my warranty is up
