DeoxiT

Good stuff. I've used wd40 on key locks with great success. That was a very important tool to keep on that old Pete I use to drive.

 

Well you can't beat that deal. With the newer vehicles today, it cost about as much to have spark plugs replaced as it use to cost to overhaul a motor back in the 70's. If you do the work yourself on the overhaul.

 

OK WD40 is a water disipator, works well most of the time.

Deoxit has a lot of uses, locks are one of them.

Speaking of rangers, I liked my old ranger, 2000. I got it for 100 plus a case of beer. It was in great shape, probably the only Ranger in the entire state with no rust anywhere. The owner was pissed about it, pulled into the pick and pull where they offered him $75 for it which pissed him off even more. I was behind in him in line and said to him I'll give him $100 and what ever he wanted for it like a case of beer. He said it is my problem now and handed me the title. It had only one issue that I could find, but it drove the owner nuts, the door ajar light and chime keep going off while driving down the road. It was loaded, and the problem was easy to fix, I got some PB blaster and soaked the door latches with it. Waited an hour and then opened all of the doors up, slammed them shut as hard as I could, doing this a couple times and I never had the chime go on ever again.

I sold the truck for $4500 a year later, it was a great truck and I saw it a few weeks back in great shape, it never has been driven in the winter when I had it, the new owner I sold it to garages it in the winter and the original owner never took it out in the rain, let alone winter.

Now this truck is unique, apparently it was one of 50 built with a six speed transmission - had it right on the sales slip. The thing ran so good I never put a dime into it other than routine maintainance and a set of new tires.
