    Thinking of buying a motorcycle

    The first mod needs to be handlebar tassel's followed by ass-less chaps! :crackup: On a serious note, take the class. Find what you're comfortable with and enjoy the road.

    Well the sad reality of it is that if I want to make a good living, my skills are suited for the marine industry. Posted from my iPad via Tapatalk HD.

    You can get new lock tabs from the dealership. Read this copied post from another user in this thread, he lists the GM part number and all. Also you can use locktite on the adjusters. "I just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I attempted this this past weekend, front and rear 4.88s. I had...

    Thanks Jeff, Carl the company is Instruments & Controls Inc. Or ICI for short out of Westminster Maryland. It's a small company with only 10 employees. We do service work on anything electrical, instrumentation and automated. I've known most of the guys for close to 20 years, great bunch of...

    Time for an update??? No pics just words. I still haven't touched the truck, I've been too busy trying to finish the shop. I wanted to retire from ships but found it too difficult to get a good paying job around home. Too many resume's and no call backs. So I had decided I would just have to...

    Haha, yeah it's single phase but it is a 320 amp drop. I have a 200 amp load center in the building. With ability to add more if needed and room to power whatever outbuildings we decide to build. Posted from my iPad via Tapatalk HD.

    Update. Man there hasn't been any action on the truck. Work got crazy busy then June 3 my job was over. So I went home and began wiring our shop! :thumbs: Me and my brother in law pooled our money and have built a 40x60 shop. The building was erected the first week of June so I came off the...

    No progress, progress report. :D Haven't had time to even touch the thing, our show is finally behind us and it went better than we could have imagined. We got contacted by a little TV show, Fast and Loud, to attend the show. They built a truck to be revealed at the show. Film crews, the...

    Yeah my wife calls me at work first thing in the morning and says "There's water running out of the wall". I'm like, WHAT! I had to talk her through getting the water turned off to the house. This was a Wednesday morning so I told her to call a plumber. None of them could get to us until...

    Well time for an update. Like most we had a lot going on during the holidays. A couple of weeks before Christmas, our water heater decided to rupture and leak all over the garage. Thankfully only the garage sheetrock suffered but it was still a mess. Replaced the heater and figured since I had...

    air compressor motor problem

    Just get a new single phase motor with equal specs to your old one. The more components you add to any system, the more potential problems you can have. Yes phase converters work. Yes VFD works and is cool but unless you are really needing to fine tune the speed of a motor for process they are...

    Rebuild

    I have to agree with PenguinLTZ, flipping the cap does nothing more than make more noise. Won't hurt anything but also won't help anything. If you like to hear it when you stomp the skinny pedal, then flip it. :thumbs: When building your engine remember it's NOT a race. Take your time, be...

    Rebuilding A GM 8.25 IFS Differential **56K Beware! Pic Heavy**

    Thanks for the kind words Nutter. If you can get the seal relatively easy where you are then I would go ahead and replace it and do the bearing. If you're looking at a long wait and a bunch of money you could try to wash out the bearing and housing to remove any metal particles. Yes, you're...

    Not much more accomplished but i did go to the urgent care Thanksgiving morning and get a couple of shots. :crackup: Sinus infection was kicking my ass and I just couldn't shake it, finally gave in to my wife and went to the doctor. She was right! I felt better. So by Saturday the turkey had...

    Time for an update. Been feeling crappy the past couple of weekends so I haven't really gotten a lot accomplished but I'll try to get the thread caught up. Stripped the rear brake parts down and sent them to a member of another forum in need of parts. I'm going rear disc so they won't be needed...

    Kenseth Suspended

    I'm not glad about the suspension, the old "rattle his cage" part is what I liked. Sorry Joey couldn't control his car, rubbin is racing.

    Kenseth Suspended

    I was glad to see it happen. We need a little more retaliation in the sport, what goes around comes around.
