Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Are there really holes?

[illflem]

Hair measurements with calipers is highly inaccurate due to the compressibility of the strand. Best method is to yank one and use a diameter gauge in the hole. With a RCH this often results in a slap across the face.

illflem - Thanks, I knew you would come through.

Berrigan - I am curious. Just what were you playing with that you would have your "caliper out 3 days ago measuring them"?



Clear that up for me, and I might consider you an authority on human hair diameter.



I realize I am relatively new at playing with my Ram , but so far, I can't quite relate to your experience.





LOL

No I wasnt measuring hairs when I started. Had the calipers out trying to measure the frame end movement of my track bar. (not the best tool for that) Then I started with the hairs just for fun. Did a gray one on my arm, 0. 0005. Gray one on my head, 0. 001 and a few others. I should have kept better records, but i didnt realize so many folks would be interested. ILLFLEM mentioned compressability. Bill I agree with that but they seemed to rebound after you let the pressure off the thumb wheel.



It is possible they didnt rebound all the way. If thats the case I have some dented hairs on my head.



How in the world did we get from injectors to dented hairs?

 

[Reddog1]

Berrigan - We got from injectors to dented hairs by responding to your post. :-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf Oo. Oo. LOL



I think it is a good thing that we can have a light side. Hopefully, no one is offended.



Speaking for myself, if I wanted to always be serious, I would have joined a group of morticians.

Ya a laugh once in a while is good medicine.



I dont think anyone was offended. I sure wasnt.

Round here, we use the RCH unit of measurement.

It's my favorite unit of measure. the only way to tell is to go get one

What if you ask for one and they politely say that they can't help you? :-laf

Then you know the carpet doesn't match the drapes. Keep shopping.



Honestly, do we have to teach y'all EVERYTHING??

Boy, has this thread gone downhill.



Who's the low-life who got us onto hairs anyway?

 

[Big_Daddy_T]

I was at the injector shop and he has pokey tools. Im not sure thats the technical name for em but He inserts a wire into the hole to check the diameter. At least this is what I gathered by speaking to him.

He said he wire pokey thinged DR P's injectors. And the wire pokey thing had a story to tell about DR Ps representations.

Let's hear it- I LOVE a good "pokey" story!

Bill - you missed my point. The carpet may match the drapes - but if the carpet was pulled up to reveal a beautiful hardwood floor - would anyone complain?

Matt, I like the way you think:-laf:-laf

... I just wanted to make sure Bill understands what I was getting at.
