What is the main difference you saw doing 4943 instead of your basic 4043?

I'm not sure what vehicle it came off of. But it was definitely grimy as hell. Lots of brushing, torching, and the die grinder to top it off made it "clean enough." If you look close you can still see the dirty specks that are inevitable with oily cast aluminum.

One of the Auto students used a post jack on a cast aluminum oil pan without any kind of blocking and cracked the pan earlier this week. Instructor brought it over and asked if we could weld it up. I love opportunities like this because my liability is way low (because it's a donated school...

Gotta be careful with that. Somehow when I would watch the tiktoks my brother or wife would send me it would download the app in the background. I've had to delete TikTok off my phone twice and I never purposefully downloaded it.

For future reference, Norco will only do same day refill instead of exchange at their Salt Lake Location. That is their only location in Utah that has fill tanks.

I wouldn't worry about turning the voltage up, maybe spend more time adjusting the Wire Feed Speed. That's where your larger change in amps and therefore penetration/depth will be. Voltage really only changes the width and wetness of the weld. Obviously you adjust the voltage to match the WFS...

That machine should be able to do 3/16". I would say it's the top end of its capabilities but it can definitely do it. Does that Titanium come with suggested settings in the wire feeder box? There is a few things you can adjust to affect that penetration that isn't necessarily just your settings...

As stated before, .030 is your best all rounder. Prime on about 1/8"-3/16" with about a +/- 1/16" range (Technically speaking... We all push it out of that range all the time.) .023 is best for when you get into gauge thickness .035 is best for 3/16" and up.

The Goonie Bird has denied your request for good luck.

I think this is the best and most proper way to use a SxS tire.

I don't remember, I just remember being told that they wouldn't fit.

That's..... Frustrating. I mean obviously as you know I do not have that axle housing anymore, But I remember giving up trying to replace ball joints a few years ago because I didn't have the money to buy two sets. It's ok, everything is fine, I've moved on...🤬

Wait? So the JK ones did fit top and bottom? I'm confused.

Not new, when I thought I was having ballpoint issues a couple years ago I called asking the same thing if I could buy just half of each set. I didn't even speak to customer service, this was specifically a salesman that I was recommended to. So it's not new. It's always been their policy.

Done

Finished cutting and measuring everything for the battery bracket for the new Highline set up. Don't mind the "Speed holes" that @Hickey and I put into the plate without "Measuring Twice...." Now it's just weight reduction. 😬 Next hour I have in the garage will be welding this together as well...

I agree with this. Bring back Manual vehicles!

Actually sounds really interesting but I have no desire to move to/near Evanston or Ogden right now.

Maybe you should contact one of the Moderators about this egregious hate crime.... 😬

Where/how are you finding them? I've been on the lookout for one that might be more suited for my business and can't find V10s unless theyre a clapped out rust bucket.
