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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
