    What have you done to your square lately??

    2 things- #1 which you already learned- Don't spill it. I use a very large drain pan. #2- I learned in a Hazwaste Class "The solution to pollution is dilution". Water the heck out of it until you think it is gone and then add some more. Remember it only takes about a half of cup of...

    New guy... LED issues

    If the front only blinks once also, the LEDs are probably not drawing enough power to heat up the blinker relay enough to let it blink more. You will need a resistor to give the blinker relay enough to heat it up and continue blinking. The system thinks you have a turn signal out, and it will...

    How much paint do I need?

    If you are going to rattle can it, use good quality paint and most importantly make sure all the paint cans have the same lot number. Different lot numbers can be a slightly different shade of color.

    Your favorite old car/truck that you regret selling!

    My first pick up- 1972 Ford F-100. 302 with 3 on the tree. Bought it from my stepdad in 1976. Wish I still had it. Picture of it after he bought it new, and one of it in 1978 with mom and me. Already starting to rust out from saltwater in Sitka. Parked on oceanside of trailer, boat launching...

    Defroster without AC

    Probably, just want the moist air to get out. Door window is higher than vent window and may let more warm air out.

    Defroster without AC

    Open a door window an inch or so to let the moist warm air out of the cab, helps speed up the defrost time. Did it for years in vehicles with no a/c.

    Issue after crossover steering installation

    GM made power steering pump pulleys in diameters - 5.0 inches, 5.75 inches, 6.5 inches, and 6.625 inches. Maybe a smaller size pulley would spin the pump faster at idle and put out more pressure.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I built a Truck Storage Unit (TSU) to keep my C20 out of the weather and it has a wood floor that is not painted yet. Picked it up a couple drain pans for the leaks so I can paint the floor without it being oily. Got them from Lowe's.
