I got the optional "Rudy Package" on my F150. This package includes the maintenance free bearings.

I worked at a chemical plant. The operators sent the co-op over to the lab for "fallopian tubes". When he got there, he radioed back "They have glass & plastic, what do you want?"

Doofus.

I think it must be time to change the spark plugs in my diesel. And if your running chrome muffler bearing, the're good for 15k.

I hope you didn't forget to swap out the coolant with antifreeze by now. Very important so you don't get stuck with a non-starting engine in the winter.

When I first got my truck, I switched over to Unobtainium bearings and Poyal Purple Muffler Super Zooty Synthetic Bearing Grease. Checked the bearings at 100,000 miles this week, and found absolutley no sign of wear...

ya know i was watching an episode of 60 minutes the other day and they said that air bags can be dangerous, because of all the air in them . I promptly got an appt. at the dealer to have them let some air out.

I'm starting to show my youngest how to do his own auto maintenance. He is left handed. Does anyone know where I can get a Crescent wrench for him?

Thank to who ever started this thread, I needed a little humor this morning.

I once told my buddy that his Jeep was running rough because his businator pump was shot. He got pissed because it was past his warranty.

Anyone know how to not break the red/orange/yellow/green/blue/indigo/violet clips when replacing the canuter valve??? It doesn't whistle when it's cold, but hums hip hop tunes which is annoying. What causes burning oil in my power window and mirror motors?

Be sure that not only do you get a left handed cresent wrench but a metric and imperial one as well.

I keep mine hanging on the pegboard right next to the 3/8" skyhook. I got a great deal on the skyhook when I traded a guy for a lightly used stud stretcher.
