Repair Tip

[Andy Perreault]

It appeared as though I needed to replace the doohicky that connects to the whatchamacallit. You know, the thing below the doodad next the other doodad. I believe I must have jimmied the bingle box, which cornballed the flapdoodle. The manual doesn’t cover this, but I figured it out. I took an old fleem rod and used it as a whunker to de-rotate the doohicky. It was as simple as that! I was relieved that I was able to fix it myself, because I would have had a heck of a time trying to explain it to a mechanic.
Anyway, I thought I’d pass this helpful tip along. Always happy to help!

I can never understand why mechanics give me such funny looks when I explain problems (like the one above) in such technically accurate terms. #ad

I understood what you were talking about. Maybe you should not use those High Tech terms it might confuse them. It might cause them to disconnect your high compression horn blower>>Do ya thank!!

Well, the best thing about running open exhaust is, I wont have to pay for those muffler bearing replacements every 10k miles anymore!

 

[Evan A. Beck]

If you do need to tighten those muffler bearings, be sure to use a Metric crescent wrench. #ad

Andy, you sound like my mom trying to explain that something has gone wrong with her car #ad

I've found that most doohickies can be repaired with a . 5 kilogram metric hammer. Haywire helps.

 

[Andy Perreault]

Other tools worth mentioning:
A complete set of one each: Loosening and Tightening wrenches.
An aluminum magnet.
A round square triangle.
Left-handed screwdrivers.
A power hole remover.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot: Paper Towel Cleaner.

Just wondering what size metric crescent wrench I need to change the blinker fluid? Also, does the blinker filter need to be replaced? By the way, instead of "bombing," try dumping in a can of compression. #ad


Just my . 02 worth!

"We can super size that for 50 cents more". Paper or plastic? How would you like a fat lip? Is that right or what? If you say so! If Johnny did it would you? I I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER a brick! (ouch) Ya darn tootin!

Andy, can you dip into your bag of tricks and tell me how to tighten up my kabibble bolts? They keep my atomic balance oscillator in sync, but when they jiggle loose, that warm, fuzzy, green aura that envelopes my truck disappears #ad

My choke actuator was rubbing the torque arrestor sensor. Didn't catch it, so the teeth on the idler pulley are toast. Life sucks. #ad

I noticed that in the pictures, Papa Joe.

Vaughn, I had the dealer reflash my RCM (Radiator Control Module), and replace both the WCM (Windshield Control Module) and the GBCM (Glove Box Control Module). Since I'm now over 60,000 miles, I had them replace the bulbs in the map lights. Man, you wouldn't believe how much more power I have!
