What new tools have you got lately?
I don't believe I've invented any new words,... But I can promise I've come up with some very unique and creative combinations. -
Door jamb switch
Check the fuse for the lighter socket. For whatever reason, if that fuse blows the dome light gets energized.- Blue Ox

Is an EGR Delete Kit Worth It for Performance and Longevity?
Same engine. Different manifold and injection pump calibration. On a 6.2 I'd definitely lose the EGR. All it does is carbon up the intake. You could put a blockoff underneath it, or just stick a ball bearing in the vacuum line.- Blue Ox

Quadrajet power valve stuck
A little WD-40 never hurt anything either. Unless there's a burr or some other mechanical issue it's probably just built-up varnish. Use some lube and keep working that thang.- Blue Ox

With that amount of contamination, if the metering valve was stuck, the plungers are probably stuck too. A big chunk of metal would concern me also. There's a good chance the thrust spring on the driveshaft has failed. If pieces like that get between the rollers and the cam the head and rotor...- Blue Ox

Is this a bullet hole?!?
I dunno. Looks kinda rectangular for a firearm hole. :confused: -
What new tools have you got lately?
Wow. I'm sorry about your friend's grandfather. He seems like a really good guy. But one small blessing is that he's finding these things a home. Not just for decent compensation to make sure the value is not lost to his family. Not just for death-cleaning to spare his offspring from throwing... -
What new tools have you got lately?
Not really. But I've tried a number of other makeshift solutions that just didn't do the job. And it says Made In USA (with foreign components) which always makes me leery. It was a little less on Amazon with free shipping as opposed to buying from the manufacturer's website. If it works...
