    I figured showing the tools to the truck would be like showing a gun with no bullets to a thief.

    The truck however has not been intimidated or fooled:biggrin_2559:

    To properly intimidate the truck, get fingers dirty, touch truck with socket.

    Works every now and then.:biggrin_255:

    I have noticed you need a set of attachments such as a STAR,ALLEN WRENCH,OCTOGON Shaped. Everytime I take something apart it has one of these odd heads on the bolts. I bought a set with a lot of different shapes. It has been a good investment.

    It seams to me no matter how many tools I have. Everytime I start a job I always need a tool I dont have.

    He is still at home. I think he is going to the shop to get involved with fixing the truck after thr holiday. The shop had to order parts. Probably will have to wait a few days on parts.

    Well maybe he can take that time to learn to use the grease gun and maybe clean the battery terminals......:biggrin_2559:. I wish I was closer to him, I would give him a hand.

    The best thing to do with a new or rebuilt engine is not to idle it for about 20,000 miles. It allows the rings to seat or seal. When this happens the engine will be one of those that does not use oil.
