That's all dependant on how open or closed the tubes are. I keep the longest tube closest towards the end of travel closed more than the short tube because I want the dampening from the valving so the shaft slows down and won't bottom out as easily. In other words my bypass shock gets much...

All of the nitrogen is on top of the piston in the reservoir and just keeps the fluid under pressure. As the shock compresses the shaft displaces fluid and it goes into the wet bottom side of the reservoir. Changing the nitrogen pressure does change the stiffness of the shock in general but not...

Took Tuesday off because I was sick, had Xmas day off, then took yesterday off because I was still sick. I worked today although I probably shouldn't have, I never take days off of work. I'll get 2 sick days plus the holiday so my check will be pretty normal.

Snap-on as a company has some brilliant marketing, they package everything in a plastic carrying case with a lid so that when your tool box is "full" you have to upgrade to a bigger one. I don't go onto the tool trucks anymore but when I do there's always some young kid from our lube rack that's...

I kind of figure it's here to stay, but is there anyone other than me that's sick of hearing the term AI? Every half witted journalist uses the term at every chance they get. We've all seen the Terminator, Skynet is live, get used to it. 🤪

Yes crashing the carbide into the workpiece sometimes does serious damage to the spindle and/or workholder, especially if it's travelling at 200ipm. That's a fine gesture on your part. If anyone has some spare time, the videos that Titans of CNC produces are pretty interesting. Some of those...

Get some gasket material and make one or use silicone sealant. The rubber gasket on a t/stat is usually all that's needed but it really needs to be on a t/stat to have enough crush to seal, if you take the guts out of a t/stat and use the rubber seal it'll work good.

Palm trees and sand, what fun! Be safe and stay clear of the cartel.

You've got a VF2? That's baller machinery lol! I was in the market for a vertical mill a few years ago for my garage enjoyment but the VF2 I wanted required 50a of 3 phase and wasn't phase converter friendly. I also looked at a Syil X7 and a Tormach 1100MX, both of which would run on single...

The reality of it is all new cars are pretty much garbage. They all have their own issues, I'm a used car tech at a dealer and I see them all. You have to just pick one with the features you like and run with it. Regarding your MIL's Santa Fe, yes the dry dual clutch transmissions do have some...

Some years ago I had surgery by an out of network surgeon in an in network hospital. 6 months after the fact he sends me a bill for 10k, UHC completely denied payment even after I argued I was not given that info or the choice who my surgeon was. I ended up negotiating the bill down to 1800. To...

You remove the diff/ring gear as an assembly and reinstall it so the ring gear is on the other side. You'll still have to set side bearing preload and backlash.

Faith was such a fantastic bunch of songs.

I'd really like to hear the offender's side of the story, do they really think no one cares what they do while camped out there? Are they seriously that ignorant of the fact that no one outside of their camp wants to hear their music? Fireworks too for that matter. Like the Joker said, We all...

I've driven my motorhome down Ogilby within the last few years, it's rough but it wasn't that big of a deal.

I used a brand new harness from an 04 Pilot, I untaped the whole thing and with the help of a schematic from All-Data I removed anything that wasn't needed to run the engine which was about 1/2 of it. For a computer, I used stock because my engine was not boosted. I got the computer from a...

"Chariots Of The Gods" is a fantastic film, I've seen it quite a few times. Anyone that's ever studied the pyramids at Giza and their similarities to other structures on other continents around the world built at about the same time has to come to the conclusion that these peoples had some...

PC925 for 5 years no issues. We don't run a stereo or fancy lights so not much demand. It cranks a 6.0 through 12' of 0 guage welding cable just fine. And just FYI, I've used a 100a alternator energized with the Holley resistor for 5 seasons and no issues with battery life or charging. The new...

I had a Honda J35A4 and an all Weddle 094 in my original 4 seat car. In hindsight I would love to go back in time and have that combo back. I swapped out the Honda for an LS2 and HV24, however the car was lighter and nimbler with the Honda, and needless to say much funner to drive, and I could...

Well maybe. It would upset society on a global level for sure. I don't know about you or anyone else, but I want to know.
