I wonder if that truck is ethanol/flexfuel compatible.

I guess with enough cutting power, even a chevy can pass the "will it blend?" test.

I can't even comprehend how the truck hit the combine to end up how it did. That is amazing.

frozenphil posted:I got 100k miles out of the spark plugs in my '03 Mustang GT and so have millions of other people. The spark plug problem isn't an issue for all mod motors, just the occasional 4.6 DOHC engine (and rarely the SOHC) and some 5.4 SOHC truck engines. 90's 4.6 and 5.4 are horrible. There are many reasons that spark plug threads take abuse, but these can't take ANY if you want them to last more than 100-150k mi. I've done several of these. The biggest cause of failure is that the person left them in there for 90k or more miles or until they went bad and caused misfires. They were replaced, probably by a moron without a torque wrench, a couple thousand miles later they pop. Long story short, you need to baby the plugs way more than any other engine I've worked on. Even Kia/Hyundais can take more abuse, just from the simple fact that they have more than FOUR loving THREADS. The newer mod motors have gotten much better though, thank god.

I did the plugs in my beater Grand Marquis with 120k on the engine (the first engine exploded after the plastic intake cracked and blew a rod out the side of the block  Ford.), and I've done 3 other 90's panthers around or past 100k and never had any problem (other than always breaking at least one coilpack boot). The SOHC is pretty difficult to gently caress up unless you're really unlucky or have never seen aluminum before.

Ive broken 4 of those damned things over the years (Im 150lbs) one broke in a simmilar manner, one had the arms (which attached the back to the bottom) fail and one just snapped in loving half. At my workplace, we gave away 100 home depot brand Herman Miller knock offs a few months ago. We usually use Herman Miller chairs, since they have a 10 year warranty, they come on site to service and repair chairs [usually adjustment knobs or broken arms] at no additional cost. We had a boom period where we had to hire like 100 guys out of the blue and setup workstations. Work decided to save money and go for the office depot chairs*. Half of which snapped in half with light use, things like the rivets and screws shearing off causing employees falling on their rear end or chairs falling apart. And it's not hambeasts sitting on them, it's tiny asian women and thin guys. We wound up replacing all the chairs with medium range Herman Millers. I can't really justify dropping a grand on a chair, but I went and got the Costco $299 chair which is great for home use. Has the same warranty as well. *-Home Depot passed the buck to the manufacturer who gave us a big finger claiming we abused them.

They aren't cheap either; I'm getting drat tired of paying $120-150 every six months when the metal plate holding in the back decides to fail and tear or all the wheels decide to break off.

No problems. They're built like tanks. I've got one of those squarish chrome based swivel chairs with a manufacture year of 1978, upholstered in the finest brown Corinthian vinyl. Looks immaculate and is built like a tank, and cost me all of $15 at a thrift store. My family has killed at least a half dozen Office Depot specials, and we aren't particularly heavy people, modern consumer furniture is just built like poo poo. I had to fight endlessly with my mom for over a year to get her to buy a well made desk, she wouldn't do it for the longest time despite having to replace the particle board poo poo from office supply stores every few months. Nevermind that buying the same thing over and over again quickly costs more than buying a quality product once.

Started building a new patio today. Effort came to a halt pretty quickly. We've had this trailer loaded WAY more in the past, but this must've been its day to fail. Aw, poo poo!  Bit beyond hot glue and duct tape.  The tire is dry rotted and cracked, and not worth the prep to weld. No idea what happened to the two missing bolts.  $25 for a poorly matched wheel.  I'm kinda pissed Lowes doesn't stock proper spare parts for their trailers, but at least it fits on the axle, more or less, and seems to work. It's narrower and ruts like mad, though; cuts our load capacity in about half. I bought a matched wheel in case the mismatch would create problems, but it really doesn't seem to make a difference, so I'll probably just return the 2nd one. Somehow in the debacle of getting the one-wheeled cart back home, I lost the pin, too, DOH! grover fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Dec 12, 2009 |

If you have got a tractor supply around they have wheels that would work for that.

I need to bring you guys some photo's of the failures at work, cam followers I can't lift going bad & destroying their bearings (that I can fit my head through). We were lucky & didn't have to resurface the cam though (8ft diameter, 12" wide per lobe). Also, the brake disc we had to get skimmed at a powerstation workshop, as no-one else could skim a 3m diameter brake disc
