And why it takes eight freaking hours to do a heater core in some cars.

I did a lot of dashboard work in my day. Under them, in them and removing them completely.

I still have special tools I had to use on the Fords, some I actually fabricated or did the Frankenstein thing to.

I actually did so many heater core jobs on cars like the Lincoln Town Car that I could have the dashboard unbolted and everything unplugged and have the passenger side sitting on the front seat so I could get to the heater core, in less than 45 minutes.

I could do a heater core job in about three hours and it paid 8.

This video is about a more modern dash that has the entertainment screen on it but what I would like you to pay attention to as they build this dash is how many screws are in it and where they put them.Also how many wire connectors there are and components in it.

Ford was notorious for hiding screws in crazy places.

Another thing Ford and Chevy both were notoripus for was using different size heads on basically the same diameter screws.

On the Fords I would use 6, lots of 7’s and 8’s, 9,10’s and even 11′ Millimeter sockets.

Plus all the different Torx bits and Phillips heads. It was absolutely ridiculous.

All of those in one dashboard.

He nailed it!!

But this is ridiculous.

I can absolutely see this happening.

As long as everyone is heavily armed….

This is why I got rid of my 67 Ford Highboy 9 or 10 years ago. It got 9 miles to the gallon and it was costing me $100 a week just to get back and forth to work.

The Big Red Dodge gets 12 mpg.

The difference between now and then is that I know I will never be able to replace this truck.

Just like I can’t replace that Ford either.

It has quintupled in the price between what I sold it for and what it would cost to buy now.

If It even ran and wasn’t rusted out.

I’m just gonna say fuck It and suck it up this time.

I’m curious as to whaddya think about this?

I don’t give a shit who they put in there, I’m not holding my breath about anything actually getting done about the Criminal Class running all over D.C. like cockroaches.

Governor Pencil Neck Poindexter (Bob Ferguson),

just signed a blatantly Unconstitutional State Law into effect taxing the income of anyone making one million dollars or more.

The State Constitution expressly forbids an Income Tax and the voters have shot it down repeatedly, knowing full well that in short order that the one million dollar cap is going to drop to fifty thousand in no time.

The ink wasn’t even dry on it when a challenge was filed.

Large companies that originated here are already fleeing the state and it’s going to get worse.

This is what we can expect,

Tell me this doesn’t land.

Mechanical Knowledge

“Y’all ever wondered why diesels are so loud, especially the old mechanical ones? This is why… the injection system! This P-8600 is like a mini engine pumping out almost 1200cc of fuel. It’ll be bolted to the side of an IH pulling tractor and tearing up the track this spring!”

This is a mechanical fuel injection pump that is going on a high horsepower Pulling Tractor.

Get a load of how much diesel it is dumping in just a few seconds.

I looked it up so you don’t have to.

1200 CC’s is 0.3170074 of a gallon, so almost a third of a gallon.

I couldn’t even guess how much money that thing cost to build and test.

Leigh might have a better idea.

It will give you a better understanding of why they belch so much black smoke at full throttle.
