Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I bought my truck used with one key, the salesman promised me a second key however he left the dealership shortly after the purchase.
It took some persistence through e-mails but I did get my second key.

You might try the dealer (wasn't it a Chev dealer?) where you bought it but it it wasn't part of the deal you are probably footing the bill.

 

I would think Toyota would be savvy enough for that message not to pop up on your head unit if it wasn’t applicable to your vehicle…. But perhaps not…

 

it does help prevent blotchiness. I dont notice on darker wood stains. But it does work imo

 

This!!

 

Aiiight, I'll let this one slide. THIS TIME!

 

It was a Chevy dealer I got it from.

 

That wasn't mine, I found that photo on here

 

G'morning Shane & Co

 

I also bought my Yota from a Chevy dealer. And when the finance schmoe asked if I wanted an extended warranty it felt great telling him, no thanks that's why I'm buying a Toyota.

*my salesman and finance guy were both gone very shortly after I bought the truck.

 

Been a while but back on these.

 

Customer brought two of these by and wants 8” cut off and rethreaded. They are 1/2-18 thread. Had to order a die.

 

Cut it off then solder the tubing back on?

 

It's aluminum


If the lathe guy was here he could single point it.

If we had a manual lathe I could single point it, I don't know how to use the thread cycle on the cnc lathe.

 

I thought you could solder aluminum? Have I been lied to? Or is "soldering" aluminum called brazing?

 

That's one that doesn't come up too often.

 

It's called 'welding'. Soldering normally refers to the use lead/tin alloy which is melted and forms a bond between either copper/brass/tin. Brazing is essentially soldering with brass vice lead/tin. Neither soldering nor brazing involve melting the parent materials, welding on the other hand means that the two parent materials are melted and flow together, usually with a filler material. AFAIK, there's no way solder/braze, or anything else aluminum, except to weld.

 

Not 1/2-14 NPT ??
Or 1/4-18 NPT ??

 

No sir, pipe is spot on .500" My first thought it was 1/4-18 NPS cause its not tapered, 1/4" pipe is .540" od though. (had to look that up)
