Just sold the US General 5 drawer tool cart. $220.

The guy said it was only worth $200 to him but worth the extra $20 to keep from having to assemble.

The long Snap On pick shaped like a fish hook on the end, was able to be pushed inside the stuck outer housing and 2 good constant pulls got the housing out. Cleaned the bore and made sure there were no other pieces inside there. Lubed the new PCV valve o-rings and installed and threaded down the hold down bolt. Saved the lady the cost of the new valve cover and the approx 3 hours labor. She was very happy. Then she surprised me with a homemade loaf of sourdough/wheat bread. Turns out she likes to bake. Hope the following pics tell the story.

The new KRA4813 with 14 jugs of fluids on the top. The white tape by the lock, is to signify the Snap On key to use. Both box keys look the same.

These are all reruns, but they seem to belong here...

I was using 3/8" and 1/2" drive click type torque wrenches, made by Pittsburgh. They were part of a used tool buy I did 2 years ago. Gonna sell them for $10 each, now.

Widow friend of an American Legion friend has a 1991 K2500 with a 5.7. Looked for source of drops on ground. The main leak is one of the oil cooler lines. If you look close at the second pic, you will see the oil drop getting ready to fall to the ground. No seepage at all from transmission cooler lines. Shows seepage at RMS and at the front d/s axle seal. She has a p/s headlight full of water too. Ordered parts today and will be doing both headlights, both oil cooler lines and the adaptor fittings at the oil filter cooler housing and will be getting rid of the transmission worm gear clamps used for the add on transmission cooler in the front and installing band clamps on the hoses.

Neighbor up the street, that does not have much money. Daughter's 2012 Jeep Liberty 3.7. CEL on and the other day I pulled codes and had P0455, P0456 and P0457, all related to EVAP leak. The words Gas Cap was flashing at the DIC. I insisted on a dealer fuel cap instead of some of the crap out there. Installed cap after cleaning the seal surface of the sealing area of the metal fill tube and cleaning off the metal seal ring to bright metal and verified there was a nice round metal ring. Drove it for 3-4 days and CEL came on again and has never had running problems. Pulled the same 3 codes. I then decided to at least look at the under hood purge valve and all looked good and then followed the hard plastic line to back of engine. Saw a large wiring loom wrapped with factory convoluted tubing laying against the plastic tubing. Pulled it away and saw this. She has no extra money so I triple layered duct tape and cleared codes and showed her what you see here.

I got lucky. I was just checking easy stuff under hood and as far down the tubing as I could get to before dropping down back of engine.
She'll be back for a fix on this issue. Who does this stuff?

I think that is the temp fix he did on this repair..

If you look forward of the wiring cover, of what you circled, you will see the tubing is rubbed clean from me looking there too and there was no signs of chaffing or rub through. I left it alone for now. The rub through that I found, was a factory convoluted tubing laying against that tubing, from day 1. She does not have extra money and the daughter needs a car. The duct tape is what I had to "patch" with and I want to see if the light stays out.

I am a little disappointed that no one has said anything about the battery carry handle standing up instead of being folded down before the cables were reattached. The husband/father did that. When you close the hood, the top of handle hits the under hood insulation and has left a deep imprint. I will deal with that later.
Not from the original pic. The fix is by the brake booster vacuum line, nearer to the firewall.

I do a lot of business with Auto Zone and Rock Auto but getting in and out of the AZ parking lot is a PITA and there is sometimes homeless to deal with. The local/closer NAPA wants my business and I am going to see them on Monday and try to work out a better discount than just the military discount. I went back to when I started using RA on 04/02/14 and to today's date I have spent $24,072.62 with them and since 04/05/22 with AZ have spent $16,519.84 and both total $40,592.46.

That's a hefty sum.
