    Stupid video. Just cause you assumed its crap since its made in China. Premium guard makes these for Napa now. Some of the best oil filters for their respective price. Wix honestly makes crap now. Chinese are still able to make good products cause overhead is less. Cut both open before you make stupid assumptions.

    th-cam.com/video/jaaTyL099RA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tk1gYbBQmeQRabcK. This is from Spicer. If you add to your knowledge base the idea that not all vehicles like 2.5 to 3 degrees down, the most common setting, on the pinion you will be fine. My lowered 2017 F-150 liked 1.5 down. Also, you will never be able to tune out a driveline vibration with old u-joints. If the old u-joints were running 3.5 down and now you have reset the angle to 1.5 down, it will shake. U-joints set up a wear pattern and you have just changed how much they need to move. Always put new u-joints in if you need to change pinion angle or you end up chasing a ghost. Sometimes the new u-joints fix the vibration and you do not need to change the angle. You never eliminate driveshaft harmonics. You just minimize it to the point you don't feel it or it moves to a driveshaft speed you never hit.

    Okay, it's just not me. I have been installing p/s pump seals for years, and never had this problem, until this last weekend. Rolled up the lip and destroyed the seal. I'm trying to visualize the drill and file. Are you using the drill to drive the shaft while filing the lip? The term "pull the drill" I'm guessing is spin the shaft with the file against the shaft step? New seal should be here this week, so I'll be doing just this. Great job. BTW this Eaton is on a 65 Mustang.

    • @fix-itrandy3724
      @fix-itrandy3724 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes exactly. Spin the shaft with the drill and lightly file that lip. Just a little, not too much. I've rebuilt many pumps and this one was a pain in the a$$. The electrical tape and the excessive trans fluid are the big keys to getting it on easier. Good luck!

    The worst part about it is they're charging the same prices for the Chinese made ones in one region as they are for a US made one in other regions. This is a regional thing. Out East they are all made in China now. In the midwest (for now) you can still get a US made NAPA gold 1040 for about 13 bucks. The same filter in say New York, for example, is also about $13 bucks. That shit shouldn't even be legal!

  • @bguen1234
    @bguen1234 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You probably do not have to worry about rain water. A carport style building doesn't have a foundation or siding that needs protection from water, and all of the rain that hits the roof was hitting the ground before and running off to the low spots anyway. Think about if you only had the slab with no building on it. You wouldn't worry about the rain running off of the slab into the yard. You should NEVER need gutters on the front of a gable roof. That's a huge red flag that the installers weren't properly trained.

    lol,the many of the old Napa gold wix filters were made in Mexico and Vietnam,even wix isn’t wix anymore per say. I do think the new Napa gold filters are still a premium filter,but obviously the price should come down a hair given they are paying less for them, as a shop buying them I too am still paying the same price as the wix made,however to source wix filters now the price would double and people won’t buy them unfortunately

      The Slab was made to the size requested from the builder. Quite a bit of planning actually. A lot of work as well. I didnt know that the roof was even an option to be built this way. It wasn't brought up when I sat down with the contractor. I talked about exactly that in the video. That was actually one of MAIN reasons I made the video. As a warning to others about these buildings. But hey, glad you know better 👍

    I had a metal building put up and every time it rains hard I get water coming in under the roof ridge and I also spray foamed every corner to help keep rats and snakes from getting inside, for the most part. That insulation on the ceiling isn't doing much with the large gaps between insulation and the structure. Oh yes, and even worse that the huge doors aren't insulated. I'm about to make my metal building into a man cave and will be building an interior wall that will separate the rollup door from the insulated room. I'm also going to have to put a covered porch over my door because rain comes right in underneath it. Makes zero sense to put the door inside the framing like they do, so the rain runs down the door and into the building.
