Repair-It

I can verify that the forced on mode works as before. With the switch in the off position, I will need to drive the car to confirm that it works as factory controlled. Mostly I'd like look at the intake air temps and observe that it stops going up at 113F or whatever the number is. I did that yeste...

The moral is, I don't want to be replacing this pump regularly. I did modify the relay for the pump to be always on but I figure I should get years of service out of it anyway. The original pump still worked and it's not fully conclusive how much better this one works. My test after seemed good at ...

PA one seems nice. Vehicle looks clean. Matching Michelins is certainly a good sign. One owner. I guess go for it? Offering under asking remotely is going to be a difficult operation though.

I would add tire rotation. Full rotation if the wheels and tires are the same size would be fronts cross to rear and the rears straight forward. Else, just swap right and left side assuming they aren't directional.

Surprisingly the...

The cold engagement is better. It's not perfect but this was a definite improvement.

And the permanent fix. Burying it. I woke up this morning with no plan except to drive to Taylor Rental and simply inquire about my options and costs. Decided to go with the truck just in case and I came home with a trencher. My other option was this Takeuchi mini-excavator with a 12" bucket. T...

- Water from downspout in front of house flowed back toward the side of the house and into a crack in the foundation under the septic outlet pipe. This MIGHT be the biggest issue and I also fixed it. First I fixed it temporarily, then permanently (hopefully). This was the temporary fix. And it seem...
