1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm okay with being wrong if I never have to deal with another leaking/broken sunroof again. Never had one that didn't cause headaches.
On a sidenote, the dealer where I did a pickup order for my moms new headliner wanted $720 just labor to put it in lol. I'm glad I'm close and can do this stuff for the folks. Going to put new carpet kit in for her as well, under the drivers side is a smelly lake.

 

That'd be cool too

 

That's where my rack is now basically. I may have bought a little time with the stop leak but it's inevitable. Hopefully that stop leak doesn't make the job more of a PITA.

 

Simple green can be hard on aluminum apparently, if I'm having to clean the heads at all.

 

Get the glow sticks out boo

I've never heard of it being bad for the power steering systems but I might be wrong. Adding stuff like that to your cooling system can cause problems

 

Well fuck...I guess I should worry about my Corvette with aluminum heads and block along with every other aluminum component I've sprayed simple green on these past 20 years

Not.

 

You can really find an excuse for everything

You sir, are unique

 

I have a fuck it bucket filled with simple green concentrate that I clean all kinds of plastic/aluminum/steel parts in and haven't noticed any problems

 

I just saw people on Mud say not to use it to clean the throttle body lol

 

That's why you use something that evaporates right away.

But there's a number beyond what you'd imagine that have successfully used Simple Green on aluminum long before you started driving.

 

Simple Green is legit.

 

Do you use a toothbrush to clean the nooks and crannies of the block

Y'all gotta come over after I grab some ginger beer for some Moscow Mules later, been craving one for awhile especially with it being overcast now

 

I would always use these sort of "all purpose" brushes

Super cheap at any store (like $2)

 

I remember having done a 13hr round trip (over the Grapevine twice) and my transmission fluid had finally seeped/leaked out like crazy.

This was how I found the underside after my 6.5hr way up to a buddy's house -



Drove back home, and a few days later got it all cleaned up along with resealing the pan -



Was oily as fuck but Simple Green is great for stuff like that.

The inside drums in the second pic is just water before it dried off, not oil.

 

That sounds delicious! Have you had a Kentucky mule?

 

I haven't, and the second I saw Kentucky I thought "bourbon" and yep!

That looks good, I have some good bourbon in a decanter too so I'll have to try that out later as well.

See, even more of a reason to swing by

 

This one? That's the one I got and used for my exhaust

 

Close, this recently came out and I got to use a 25% coupon so it brought it down quite a bit



I had no use for the disc sander portion, but a belt sander and grinding wheel makes more sense for me
