I have no doubt that a good welder/fabricator would not have a problem stretching them in a way where the rod would not fail in tension or compression. I'd say that the challenge would be stretching them such that the torsional characteristics did not change (and that they were still good in...

Nice job - thanks for the tip. It was a really good idea to use tank sealer.

Looking at the photos, I can't imagine that you will not be able to get that motor free. It's not like it has been sitting in the rain with the top end open. And the spark plugs make it easy to get inside to squirt your witches' brew. A good mixture of solvent, maybe some heat from a blast...

First off, the truck looks good and Montana, well, what beautiful scenery. I always wonder when I see torque rods extended. Looks like those here have some steel added inside the groove and then overall. While I am sure that the stretched torque rods are plenty strong in tension or...

That leaked oil provides good salt protection. :) Congrats on your trip so far.

Yours and mine are twins. Mine had the period tail lights (one on each side) and a separate blackout light (just one). The tail lights were the non-combination style. The mounts were heavy steel L brackets that bolted to the rear sides of the frame with two bolts and the lights mounted to the...

It happened to me. :beer:

Wrong wrong wrong. If you draw more power from the alternator then the engine that is spinning that alternator is burning more fuel. Due to the stacked inefficiences (the engine, the drivebelts, the alternator, the electrolysis process) you burn more in fuel to make the hydrogen than you get...

How did this adventure end?

On the issue of license plates, I will repeat what my old man drilled into me at a young age: "No plates are a misdemeanor (a ticket), and no insurance is a felony". His point was that no plates was not a big deal, but that you should have insurance. He was an old school NYPD detective who...

I'd drive it. 50 to 55 mph is fun. Especially since you will maintain that speed uphill, where you get to pass the 18 wheelers that blew past you on the downslope. I had a lot of trepidation initially driving my new-to-me M35A2 from NY to VT. It's now made the trip a few times. It has been...

X2 on not using force. You can introduce some heat. If needed, hook up a hot water circuit through some fittings on the block. Warming the block even to 120 degrees will help the MMO brew infiltrate. Infiltration is what it is all about. Many witches brews have been tried and they all will...

Ron, you need to read the TM for the Internet. :) Peace, brother. Merry Christmas to all. John

I have found that it works on non-critical applications where the part is too small or fragile to effectively use tape.

Gee, that's not the way it should work at all. The regular users of the forum (using their PCs) should not be able to tell whether a photo was uploaded from an iPhone or laptop or whatever. It is completely transparent - that is the point of having an app. It is what the app does. Make...

The SS site would not change at all. It would look and act the same as it does now when you access it from your computer. We are talking about the ability to access the site so that it looks and acts the same from a mobile device. Simply accessing the SS site - or any web-based forum - from a...

Dunno. Of course, two of us could go halfsies.

Then I would suggest that it does not work. :)

Thanks, I'll look into that.
