Here's what may happen with a new air rivet gun, - after a few brewski's of course ~

 

Good job! What did you use on the engine bay? Simple Green?

 

Looks like a chit ton of degreaser and maybe some "armor all" type product on the plastics.

 

noice!

 

Looks great man!

 

hey off topic but how is that Maxx battery working out for you? I'm due for a new battery and looked at these at Walmart.

 

Thanks, nope no Simple Green, -that stuff can knock you out lol. A little Lysol all purpose, Windex, Power-ball w/cordless drill and part of an old bottle of K&N filter oil mixed with half a bottle of Armoral.

 

It's been okay, -I've had it for about a year now and have killed it twice. Left the glove box open for a few days, maybe three days and that killed it. I charged it and it's been fine. Left the lights on once, turned them off tried to start right away, - was dead click click click. Gave it 10 minutes to recover after shutting the lights off and it fired right up without a jump or a charge. I can't complain. My old one was from Walmart as-well and it's still being used in the F250. That one there is about 5 or 6 years old.

 

Excellent! Thanks for the info!

 

No problem, and thanks for the compliments fellers.

 

I thought you would never give out the secret recipe

Truck looks great.
You spray it down with a hose?

 

Thanks, no, she's allergic to water. Tried that once, it wasn't good, ended up replacing all coils and a few sensors. I even had the battery removed, blew out every connector and the plug chambers with compressed air before reconnecting the battery. Still misfired right after and acted goofy, wasn't shifting correctly, - fried the TPS somehow. Yea they don't like to be hosed.

Yea, secret recipe lol.

 

Knowing Brew, he probably pulled the engine to do that cleaning job...........

 

Looks really good, wish I could get mine that clean

 

looks good
