    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Yes. All M18 size tools will except all M18 batteries, though the smaller tools handle weird with a large battery hanging off it.

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Here's a couple of pictures of my little Milwaukee Impact tool family. The twelve amp hour batteries make a huge difference in performance.

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    After I came back from trade school I lived with my parents for a year. I was working at IHC in Seattle. One day after coming home from work I saw my father and brother outside working on his old beater Dodge. When I came over they wherein the process of hitting my "Snap-On" breaker bar with a...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    If you had read the original complaint you would have seen this mechanic had "messed" with the injection pump. Did he try and adjust the "Droop" screw ? Who knows. What I had wrote about was a valid troubleshooting option. As far as having my nose in the TM's and having never worked on an...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Not true. The "Droop" screw plays an important role. Just look at the "G" injection pump which does not have a FDC. It has a "Droop" screw and it needs to be adjusted properly (picture 2) . Common sense would tell you if a screw is mounted to the main "Fulcrum" then it must have an impact on the...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    In just the last few years, the electric impact manufactures (especially Milwaukee) have designed really great impacts with abilities that now rival air impacts. I own one of the first "corded" electric impacts from Milwaukee. It's a nice tool, but not much power. Now the "cordless" ones from...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Well personally I don't like abusing my tools, so I will be using the correct tool (1" impact) to remove my lug nuts with. Of course I've seen a lot of "hillbilly" mechanics use all kinds of tools to perform jobs they where never meant to. It's a free country (at least for now) so do what you...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Geared multipliers are a great tool, but you must use a manual breaker bar or ratchet to use on them. Almost everyone says to "not" use an impact wrench on them. In fact I've never seen a multiplier that allowed using a impact wrench on it.

    Does anyone know why my pictures come out as "attachments" or "Scans" ? The pictures used to come out, now you have to click on the link.

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Did your mechanic adjust the "High Speed Screw" ? Also the "Droop" adjustment plays a role as does the "Stop Plate" . This might help.

    That's pretty impressive ! Engine swaps usually involve a lot of R&RD. Replace and Re-Design !

    I've had good luck with Harbor Freight's transmission jacks. I have both the medium and heavy duty models.

    M35a2 Wont start

    Did you ever check the injection pump "Booster pump" ? A good place to put a test pressure gauge is just before the injection pump hydraulic head. That will tell you if you have enough pressure for the pump to work. Then after checking the Booster pump, check the "Fuel Delivery Valve" in the...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Your correct to take the factory numbers with a "grain of salt" . Also what a lot of people don't seem to understand is a 1/2" impact with great torque numbers still is not the same as a 3/4" or 1" impact with numbers very close. I know the heavy duty 1/2" Milwaukee is suppose to handle all this...

    How has your truck been running since you put in the Cummins ? Any problems or weird little ticks that needed to be fixed ?

    We all are still learning ! In fact I'm relearning stuff I knew decades ago. Guess the mind can only hold so much before it gets deleted !

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thanks "cucvrus" . I didn't even think about the differences between the truck and blazer models. We had a great Thanksgiving today to ! Got a little sick eating to much though ! I've been on a diet for two months trying to drop 50 Ibs for my hernia surgery. So when I ate what I would normally...
