    Both can be dangerous if your not paying attention.
  2. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Was it throttle body injection? I had a Plymouth Sundance in the late '80's that was fuel injected, but it had a single injector just before the throttle body. I think they called it TBI.
  3. Plug removal

    There are tension springs and then there are torsion springs. You wind the torsion springs. The old tension springs were just big ass springs that extended as the door closed, leaving them under load until the door is in the full open position. I have heard many stories about when those things...

    I could never figure out how he did that. But he learned a lesson that day. Plus we sold him a new door.
  5. Plug removal

    I really felt uncomfortable around those old tension springs, especially on those big heavy doors. With the door in the down position, those springs were under severe tension. Installed a lot of safety cables through those. I remember one service call where the homeowner tried to work on his own...

    Didn't someone on here have all kinds of warnings when the cooling fan shit the bed and ripped up all the wiring?

  8. Plug removal

    I have done some pretty innovative installs myself. Where there's a will there's a way.

  10. What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

    I received a new memory card for my Red Tiger dash cam. I was getting a card error and could not fix it. Formatting did nothing.

    Well I used it real good this morning when I slipped on the ice and grabbed the deck railing with all my might. Made that finger hurt like hell again for a while.

    This was after shoveling again today. When it's warmed up, it doesn't look so nasty. Or should I say, like it's going to fall off!

    So I also have Reynaud's syndrome, so when an episode sets in with my fucked up finger, we get many shades of purple.

    I think we all remember exactly where we were. I sure do.
  15. Beautiful Pictures

    Beautiful, but hard pass!
  16. Space Shuttle Challenger

    Yes, it was a kick to the stomach. But no match, and greatly surpassed by the gut punch felt on 9/11/01. The latter a deliberate attack.
