I wish gas wasn't so dangerous so I would be willing to work on gas lines. lol
I here you. I have a feeling it is the gas valve or orifice.

The pressure of water column thing boggles my mind.

A fellow was skydiving for the first time and was having trouble getting his parachute to open. As he was hurtling toward the ground, he saw a speck moving towards him. As it got closer, he could see it was a man flying straight up in the air.

He yelled down to him as he approached, “Do you know anything about parachutes?”

As they passed each other midair, he heard the other fellow reply, “No - do you know anything about gas garage heaters?”

Started measuring and mocking up what the face of my fully boxed spindle will be. It will retain all oem sensors will incorporate oem bronco/ranger hubs. Theyre the same part number. I will re verify ones i get my axles for the m210. I will use mustang gt caliper paired with escalade rotors for easy and cheaper. Boring out center of rotor may be required. This is safe and inexpensive think about it they have same bolt pattern only difference is that opening they also have the same hub spacing, but that wouldnt matter since i intend on making the rotor and caliper inboard as much as possible to reduce the leverage weight as much as possible. You see this in trophy trucks a lot. Im also making jigs to be able to secure my work pieces, but in doing so i will be able to make them repeatable.

assembled a "roll bar" - more like decorative off road light holder- to put on the 5g. i wish it was a real one but those are hard to find for modern trucks without laying out lots of cash. besides my main use for it is mounting lights. hopefully will have it installed this weekend! hoping i can still fit in the garage with the bar and spot lights on top... if not it may be in the for sale section in about a week :fingerscrossed:

Does yours flap in the wind too? Mine I keep rolled up 90% of the time so it's not a big deal but I already made it pretty tight. Still it's a pretty nice cover for $250. I just unroll it if I need to (mostly for leaves and mulch).

A little across the surface but it's pretty tight, this is the Truxedo Lo Pro. Cost me $600 :(

Oh I thought it was the Tonnosport. That's the one I have.
I had that one but I had to return it because I have a spray in bedliner and I couldn't get the screws to fit. I didn't want to cut the bedliner either. It was a shit show and in anger I just forked out $600 lol

Yeah I have line-x and it took a bit of filing down the rails actually. Tailgate wouldn't close completely otherwise.

Got my freshly painted valve cover and a new gasket back on it ? hopefully it stops pissing all over the manifold now lol.
I miss being able to get to pretty much everything easily.

Went and purchased one rotor 135 for duralast gold escalade on the mustang gt caliper. Still have to bore center out to mount to bearing so that i can take more measurements. The brakes will be positioned inboard to to keep weight more towards center of vehicle.

Random question, you planning on using a lather or mill to bore it out?
