Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I'm with you there! Only reason I've watched any is because the Chiefs have been doing so good but honestly, I could care less about it or any sport except hunting. Is hunting a sport? If so then by all means, go team!

 

When my wife and I got married she was a huge Carolina bball fan, I couldn't even talk to her when a game was on. She doesn't follow it or watch it or anything now.

 

Yep I was a Nuggets season ticket holder, 5 rows off the floor, the lady couldn’t understand why I wasn’t renewing

 

I’ll take any advice.

shouldn’t there be one on the tank?

never seen so much plumbing for a compressor.

 

Working today, being self employed I’m not always privy to federal holidays and holidays in general, my wife is still in her robe and I’m like hey aren’t you leaving for work in 5 ministers? Nope she’s also staying home, my customers are off as well, I should have taken the day off

 

(I probably shouldnt say this but) I think sports are just that....sports. Don't really care what any particular team member's opinion is....on anything. Just play the game and shut your mouth. But times are changing and I guess I am too.
Anyhow, not wanting to derail this thread and/or get myself or anyone else in trouble, carry on gentlemen. Hope you all have a great day!!

 

Wait, people volunteer for night shift? I thought that was more volun-told

Actually that was the only way I was able to get into the place I am now. Took me 3 times to get in there and when I was offered nights I had to take it. Did that for a little over 2 years; I'm pretty sure it took off 10 years of my life. I'm now on 2nd shift, which is perfect for me as I'm not a morning person...

 

Doesn’t look like much more than a regular compressor

 

Ahhh..coffee, mo betta now. Now my other child's vehicle needs looked at...it appears he has a coolant leak. I had to add some to the overflow tank awhile back, and couple of days ago seen some green on the snow where he was parked. It's just a back up winter 4x4 for him now 2000 Blazer 4 door. I suspect radiator but could be something easier...a loose hose clamp, that's all. Right.

 

Friend of mine bought another truck the other day, said his other laid down on him. 7.3 Powerstroke, said his top radiator hose was swelling up and would leak a little coolant. He said I think I have an injector cup bad. I said that sounds like a head gasket to me to build that much pressure. He said he would fix it one of these days, it has close to 300K miles on it.

 

Well they were actually pretty cool about it. Since Monday is my regular day off they said I could have Friday off instead for a 4 day weekend or work my Friday for overtime. They needed someone to align a pump and motor and are needing to get a few newer guys qualified and comfortable with the machine. Rotalign Ultra, it's not rocket science. I'm titled the SME for alignments. Edit, I also would get Tuesday off with pay to rollback to days.

 

Good Morning 3x2 have a great day!

 

Check the water pump, those things love to leak on those. Friends '03 S10 has that problem right now, but it's leaking at the gaskets where it meets the block. Might as well replace the whole thing at that point. Also don't know why it would have green coolant in it, even a 2000 woulda had Dexcool. Sounds like a can of worms you're going into...

 

Looks like compressor > Tank > outlet > drain > regulator

am I missing anything?

 

I will admit it looks messy and looks like a 3 year old put it together with pieces he found in his dads junk yard

 

Someone at some point prior to us purchasing it put green coolant in it. That compressor looked pretty standard to me as well. At some point it looks like original motor or pump cooked out so now they are just using the tank and have it plumbed to a different pump and motortothe left.

 

My first try at multi quote...I think understand how it works now. Auto correct must have liked cooked better than conked.

 

I wouldn’t know. I’ve only used portables with drain on the bottom of the tank.

Yes, i agree. Wondering if i should just rip it out and buy one.
