Older we get, more desensitized we become

 

you broke the 3 beer rule huh

 

Fawk

 

Sofia asks me every morning to do "up high" game and "spins" game...basically I toss her up into the air or spin around while holding her up

she asked me this morning and I was just like, daddy's dying sweetie. Daddy's dying

 

more like the 6+ shots of whiskey rule

 

Man, that's a beast!

 

I tell Steph I'm gonna be confused for a grandpa later on when picking kids up from school

 

Cheap ish too

 

shit, did you take a sick day today? lol

 

realized i can still put this knuckle together with the old studs and swap them out for new when they arrive. Won't keep me from working on the other side of the axle. I hope the other side is less problematic lol

 

nope, and Tuesdays are usually our big photoshoot days which I was definitely not looking forward to this morning. As luck would have it though, the model called in sick so it's gonna be a slow day for me thankfully lol.

 

It'll still seal?

Thought you mentioned a broken stud, and with the spacing between the studs, you wouldn't get a good seal.

 

NAPA pulled through with the Denso starter. Still not sure if the 1.8kw starter is fine for the R150F but some people have said Canadian trucks used a 2.0kw on autos and a 1.8kw on manuals.

I gave them a Chinese rebuild 1.4kw core so I can determine why the 300K+ 1.8kw Denso failed.

 

Are the autos as bad as the ones in our trucks?

 

did it give u warning when it was going out? I already pulled mine and smacked it around to knock the debris off when i was diagnosing a no start while back. Just curious

 

uhh I was able to get the broken bolt for the seal out so that's no longer an issue.

the studs that hold the steering arm to the knuckle are not true but I can still put the axle together with them and replace when everything is assembled

 

Nice, Denso for the win

New contacts and plunger didn't fix the old starter?

My 4R's 285k starter ran like new once I replaced a few parts on it.

 

never had one like this, it was broken off slightly below flush. couldn't get a good weld to the nickel plated hardware I had in that size but I tacked a nub on and backed it out with pliers

 

It’s just making a horrible grinding noise internally. Takes longer to start the truck too all the sudden. Teeth on starter were wearing unevenly from a worn plunger.

New plunger and contacts didn’t help so I’m guessing an internal failure is causing the noise. Bench tested it as well to be 100% noise was starter related.

I had zero warning when the shiny brand new looking Autozone chinese 1.4kw unit the truck came with died.

 

ugh that is annoying

teeth on the flywheel/flexplate look ok?
