lol the thing that used to get me the most is when someone would tighten a bolt so much that the head would snap... fuck a torque wrench right?I feel your pain, incompetence bothers me greatly.

My buddy tightens everything like that, I've had to use pliers to get a bottle of soda open a few times because he's cranked the cap down on it. I only beak stuff when it's coming out because it's usually rusted solid, fucking New England winters and chemical de-icers. I pretty much only torque wheels, otherwise I have a fairly well calibrated arm. Big stuff just gets hammered in with an impact gun.lol the thing that used to get me the most is when someone would tighten a bolt so much that the head would snap... fuck a torque wrench right?
Yeah I hate that. I spray the underside of both cars and inside the wheel wells every year with a paraffin wax anti corrosion compound that dries hard so dirt doesn’t stick to it. Same thing I used to use when I was on a ship to stop things from rusting that didn’t need to be taken apart often. I use corrosionx on things that get serviced often. Only had to break out the torch once this year.My buddy tightens everything like that, I've had to use pliers to get a bottle of soda open a few times because he's cranked the cap down on it.

I was going to buy Fluid Film years ago, which is a lanolin product, then I found out about old tranny fluid, it neutralizes and prevents rust and leaves an oily coating. Put a rusty bolt in tranny fluid and it'll turn black in a couple days. I have a few gallons, so I'm using that. Thin it with a solvent before spraying so it wicks into small areas. Only real issue is it needs to be pressure washed every couple years cause it will grab and hold dirt.Yeah I hate that.

@mr sunshine is our resident mechanicGoing to be working on the truck today folks, get ready for some questions. Throwing emmisions related dtc. Will get some trouble shooting done this morning, but I'm gonna need help on this one.
Crappy are killing it here, big slabs up in the river after a rain.Realized this morning that it's been a decade since I've signed up here. Not a damn thing has changed. Except negative rep. Bring that shit back I say.
Been busy getting ready for the start of the season with mulch and cleanups. Trying to get a lil fishing in before the chaos.
Went to launch the other day and she turned over just fine. Minute later it just died. Tried to start again and nothing.
Figured it was a ground issue and after tinkering around a bit she still wouldn't budge. Loaded up pissed off and went home. It was indeed a ground from the Bluetooth I installed over the winter .
Fucking mice chewed it up real good like under a panel I couldn't get to. All worked out and gonna take the crappy crappie out this weekend. 25hp Max on my crappie spot so I ordered a sticker to replace the 50hp. I was eyeballed last year but they seemed non the wiser and just kept on. I feel it's a matter of time before they check me out. I'll just play dumb and say it came like that from auction.
I'm ready though. Supposed to be 65 on Saturday. Just pushed couple inches of snow on Easter. What fucky weather so far. Hopefully it stays nice this weekend.

Had to cancel a trip to Mississippi because all the damn rain that hit them. Supposed to be some good fishing down there I hearCrappy are killing it here, big slabs up in the river after a rain.
like the tune, but it's about 3 minutes too longMore trimming. I just scraped about a half gram of hash off my fingers and they're still sticky as fuck. I can literally stick my bowl to my finger tips and have it hang upside down for quite a while before it falls off. Guess I won't be fapping anytime soon.
