Oh and tonight, Iron Man 3

 

Mr.Stark i dont feel so good

 

Hit your knuckles? But some swearing was involved...

 

I was trying to break a bolt lose on a compressor the other day and i had to put all my weight into it. As soon as it broke loose my wrench slipped and i head butted the rack hella hard. Then there is a bruise on my face for a few days

but it hurt so bad i threw my wrench and just sat there cusing lol

 

Always pull, never push. I broke a finger years ago ...never again. Or hit it with the m18 impact.

 

I could only get the wrench in on one spot. All the pipes, wiring snd safety cut outs were in the way. Plus it was on really good and I wasn’t strong enough to pull lol

 

You need to eat some potatoes. Thats what all the Irish moms would say to us kids growing up. Eat your spuds and you'll be big and strong...lol. 2 12" extensions work good on the impact.

 

This was the bolt for the oil drain plug. I couldn’t impact it. Plus its like a 27mm bolt. Only enough room to barley get a 10” wrench in at one angle

 

The best is using an air ratchet and knuckle busting yourself because the bolt was way tighter than it should of been

 

I have a Milwaukee electric rachet. Didn’t have a socket that big. Cant use air tools in the field though lol not gunna carry a air compressor around

 

Been there done that. It's worse when it pins it on with your fingers in between.

 

Yous a bitch lol

 

Forgot to ask

 

Picture of engine bay?

I was slooooooowly losing coolant only to find out it was seeping out of a hairline crack from the top of the radiator; it would seep out and blow all over the engine bay.

 

Sounds like the heater core

Not a fun repair from what I hear...basically have to disassemble the entire dash

 

Was hoping for his sake, it'd be something easier.

I saw someone's walkthrough on getting to the heater core; I'd probably want to buy another truck and sell the one I had if I had to do that repair

 

internal leak
inside cab?

 

that is clean!
mine is not!



@FLBAdrian what do i do about this mess!?!
Wisconsin mucky puddle water everywhere
