Midwest West Meets/Midwest BS Thread

just a small minor weep i think at the moment, its common it seems on this engine

 

He's been offered double that for his truck. Multiple times. He's not selling

 

it still has the original clutch, and I am trying to research when that is expected to need fixed

 

highest so far has been 5 figures last summer
the guy was serious too, i think

 

Not even for $600?

 

I still have the original clutch. So does @Tigerian

 

Sounds like a major problem to me. Minor leaks are hard to fix

 

depends on if you have the right equipment, an engine hoist and room to work with a good skillset

 

Do you have any of that? Sounds expensive

 

it would probably be best to just get a re-manufactured engine and pop it in there, good as new Idk
and no to an engine hoist, but they are rentable i believe

 

You make it sound so simple.

 

a guy in northern Arkansas seemed to have no issues swapping engines, but his mechanical skillset is greater than mine

 

It's not too bad

 

you are the king TW mid west mechanic?


somebody has to be

 

The king? Don't be silly gq
Im just a measly wrench for hire

 

maybe its @Cav_BluTRD then?

Ok.....just to show again that fluid film won’t wash away so easy......if at all. I applied it in early November as I always do. 5-6 cans, nice and even throughout including all the holes amongst the channeled frame. Everything minus the exhaust. It’s been through numerous snow storms with salted roads to follows as well as many rainy days. A few times through the car wash with the undercarriage wash. Today I washed it by hand at the firehouse and sprayed all I could reach with the high powered hose. You can see here how the water just beads on everything, followed by a glimpse at my truck
