86ish D150 225 goes 1/2 a block then dies, won`t restart until cold

Where would you get a new hub cap gasket if that were the problem? I figured KaleCo would have them, but no, they have everything except that.

I don't buy cheep tools Budd. At best, they will cause even more damage to what you are working on and at worst, they can seriously injure you while doing it. If you knew even half of what you claim to you would know that the rubber grips on most pliers were not put there with insulation from electricity in mind and are not good insulators at all.

Sorry Budd, but you really are standing on thin ice here. You are the one making most of the attacks lately, even if you try to hide behind replying to others posts.

Sure you are, like when you suggested she use a compression guage to determine what was leaking, especially after she already performed that test to get the readings. My advice simply allowed her to determine why #5 had such poor compression and there was nothing useless about it.

You are correct, I don't. Why should I if she doesn't. It's only a motor that she intended to dump anyway, not someones life or even only means of transportation.

Trucks can be towed if needed and unless she swaps that one out, she will have to rebuild it.

Now that is just a lie. You are more times than not the one that dishes it out. You may call it politically incorrect, I just call it ignorant.

LOL, reduced to attacking me on typos huh! Is that all you got? If the truck is currently so stuck, what is the point of fixing it if it cannot get out of where it is anyway?

Do you mean like your rewrite of Ohms laws, Mr the voltage drop goes down as current increases.

Really?? Then why are the vinyl rubber grips on my Craftman tools given a insulation rating BY THE MANUFACTURER, WESTERN FORGE AND BY CRAFTSMAN? Why have I been able to use those insulated tools in handling 110, 220, and 440 volt LIVE wires as a millwright? How come I can hold a plug wire on a capacitor discharge ignition BY THE BOOT OR THE WIRE INSULATION and check for spark?

What's the voltage rating for a single layer (3 mil) of vinyl electrical tape . . . go ahead, cheat and look on the package, I'd rather you get this one right for your own safety.

You do know that something like 1 to 2 percent of the world's population are hypersensitive to electrical shock and can't touch an ignition system at all when the engine is running, don't you?

Btw, I also have a very old pair of slip joint pliers that belonged to my step-dad with no insulation. The knurled grip handles don't slip as bad as the rubber handles when greasy.

Now, to make sure you understand that I do know the effects of ignition sparks, I test the point type ignition Briggs, Kohler, Tecumseh coils by holding the plug lead close to ground and briefly connecting a 1.5 volt flashlight battery across the primary wires. The resultant spark is only about 3000 volts, but if I get a spark at all the coil is good. Occasionally, I get bit by them.

ROTFLMBO!!!!!

It's really funny , Tom, that you and theguy complained I was always attacking so I quit. and now your doing it to me and to Max.

Your test, Tom, from talks with Rach via email, aren't practical for her to do and I tried to tell you that.I wasn't "correcting" or slamming you at all. But you took offense anyway, so you screwed up, Tom. You assumed inccorectly.

Now shove it where the sun don't shine.

Be honest, Tom, the only one you care about at all is yourself.

Did you see the post about digging out snow to pull an engine??? That was this truck, Tom.

stick and stones, Tom.

I was just making sure my powers to read your mind were working yet and I see I can still read greeting cards. Your English is atrocious, period, either accept that you will be corrected at times or take a remedial course.

Back to the topic, it was the same truck she wanted to pull the engine on . . get this thru your skull, and REPAIR before changing her mind.

Perhaps because that was the intent of the rubber coating on that set of pliers. I did say most, not all.

Anyone who works on live wire unless it is absolutely necessary is an idiot, period and a millwright does not have to. I have to work in live boxes on occasion but not on live wires. While I also have linesman pliers that are insulation rated, most of my others are not, probably because the rubber is more porus to prevent them from becomming slippery when exposed to greese and oil which would also reduce their insulating ability by a considerable amount.

Did you wrap your handles in vinyl "electrical" tape and if not, what is your point? Since you really don't have a clue when it comes to electrical circuits as made clear by your voltage drop reduction when current increases statement (completely the opposite of fact), you really should just shut up here.

I didn't know the percentages but since I am one of them... Perhaps that is why I use other methods to check for spark.

That would be because the rubber on those handles were intended for insulation, not better grip like most others are.

-- blabber snipped --

Really, when did that happen. It sure didn't in this thread or the way you are treating the others in Caravan thread. Speaking of theguy, could you be any more twofaced. When he took the other side in the political discussions, he was your new best friend but the minute that crap ended, suddenly he was the enemy again. You make it clear where your true motivation lies.

Sorry Budd, but calling it useless information is nothing more than slamming and if you don't realise this, then you really are an idiot.

How immature.

You are entitled to your opinion but as usual with you, it is both childish and wrong.

So what, I simply gave her a means to find out what was wrong with that cylinder. Whether it was practical for her to do it at this time is not the issue. Are you really this shallow Budd that you have to be jealous over something like this.

Sorry Budd, but the way you are acting in this thread makes what I said a fact, not an insult.

Back to the lame insults again, huh Budd. While you may think of my English as atrocious, at least I understand what I read, unlike you and your new Budds Law, LOL! Between you and Maxi's perpetual motion machine, the two of you should be able to end all our dependency on oil of any kind. To bad you are both full of shit.

ROTFLMBO!!!!!

Right, Tom, you know all the secrets of Craftsman, Western Forge, Rigid, Channelock, Proto, Snap-On, and so on. . . .

You really should do some research.

Ah, you were there, were you?

Shows how little you know of reality.

What makes a box "live" and the wires inside them not "live", Tom?

Aha . . .you bought non-rated tools deliberately so "most" tools are not rated. I see your reasoning now.

So you don't know, after all. It should be you shutting up if you're dumb enough to work with non-rated tools on any wire, live or not. A friend of mine was knocked off a press when a set-up man turned the juice back on after removing the safety tag. The next day we were issued padlocks.

(Btw, industry standard for 3 mil vinyl electrical tape is 15,000 volts / layer.)

Then don't assume everyone has to do it your way. You are the exception to the norm, not the norm.

Here again, you make assumptions based on your choisce of tools. None of my pliers, except ones for non electrical use, are un-rated, but that's because I worked with high voltages for ten years.

--fact reinserted--

Now, to make sure you understand that I do know the effects of ignition sparks, I test the point type ignition Briggs, Kohler, Tecumseh coils by holding the plug lead close to ground and briefly connecting a 1.5 volt flashlight battery across the primary wires. The resultant spark is only about 3000 volts, but if I get a spark at all the coil is good. Occasionally, I get bit by them.

I put this in, Tom, not just for you, but for anyone reading the post. If the plug lead is held, in some safe manner, with a gap of 3/16" or less, it is a good way to test a lawn mower coil.

ah, your infamous selective memory again.

Oh??? In which reply to you in the caravan thred have I attacked you?

To agree with someone does not make them a friend. I have agreed with you several times, but you do not wish to be a friend so you will not be considered one at all.

Sorry, Tom, but useless information is useless information, a point you have claimed about information I gave in the past. My intent was to inform you as to the situation rach was in, but since the situation matters not to you, you made the info I gave you as useless as yours was for her.

There was no slam intended towards you, but you'll never see it or accept it.

How so? Does the sun shine in your basement? inside the trees outside your house? inside a can of peaches? if you assumed I meant aywhere else then it is you that is immature.

Not from what we see of you here.

True. I agree with this and did so all along.

Wrong, Tom. It is the issue. What good is advice that cannot be implemented even if it is the best advice? Advice that is usable is much more productive for all.

What is there to jealous of? You gave good advice but not for the situation. I tried to explain the situation and you get mad.

In your biased opinion.

I thought it to be imaginative, myself, and only a tease, but I forgot you take everything as an insult even when someone agrees with you.

Too bad that like Matt and Bill you think you education places you in a higher class of society than everyone else. That you are too good to be told that your advice is inappropriate for the situation.

I'm done with you, go play.

Nope, and neither do you.

PKB there Budd, PKB.

Nope, and I didn't have to be and the fact that you didn't come up with one of your fantastic stories shows you have no valid reason either, that is if you did it at all.

No, it demonstraites you ignorance and stupidity. But please, prove me wrong and show me exactly why you needed to do it.

You are kidding, right????? But just in case your not, if there is voltage being applied to the buss bars, the box is hot but until the wires are actually connected to an activated breaker or directly to the buss, they are not. When you pull new lines to the box they are not connected to anything and by definition, are not live.

considerable

No, I bought tools designed for their purpose and many of my pliers have rubber covers on their handles and are clearly labled that their grips are not designed for electrical protection but then again, they don't get slippery when they get dirty either. My linesman pliers OTOH, have smooth grips and do get slippery when exposed to greese or wire lube.

I have pliers and cutters that are rated for electrical use but I don't normally use them on my vehicles. I bet your friend would have been knocked on his ass anyway because he was probably touching things with his bare hands which is expected when the power is shut down. He should have used a padlock anyway and the one who removed the tag should have been fired.

And the point is?

It is better to assume on the side of safety rather than get someone hurt. And you say that I don't care about anyone but myself.

You have done a lot of jobs and they all seem to be between 5 and 10 years. You must be well over 100 by now.

Big deal, your bite is still a minimum of 1/5th the zap she could get from that automotive ignition and that would only be 1 spark compared to 6 or more at 10 times the voltage her truck could zap her with.

And you accuse me of giving useless information. At least mine was on topic.

And your typical spin while offering absolutely no proof to back your accusation at all.

Where did I say you did it to me but you sure did with the other two.

Really, name 3 times. You did call him "friend" back then but the soon as he stopped attacking me.... It seems that the only ones you call friend are the ones that agree with you.

Funny, when did you get the job of determining what information is of use to whom? And even if that were true, who made it your job to inform me or anyone else? IF I kept hammering that point after being told that she couldn't do it then maybe, but that is not what happened. And then you give information about testing a small engine coil, LOL, talk about useless.

Because if no slam was intended, what was the point of saying anything at all. Face it Budd, a slam was what it was, simple as that.

Your spin is getting weak Budd. It doesn't matter where you meant when you said shove it, the fact that you said it at all was what was immature and you know where you meant as you have said the same to me many times.

Now that is a lie. You actually made complaints about needing a compressor and suggested using a compression guage which WAS completely useless information and incorrect as well.

implemented

Because eventually, she is going to have to move the truck by some means and when she does, then she can perform the test if she actually wants to diagnose it further.

The point Budd is that it is not your job to to explain the situation since you are not the OP. Unless of course, you are running for the position of net nannie.

How is it a biased opinion?

Why is it that you can say anything you want and it is only a tease but if anyone does it to you, it is an unforgivable personal attack.

I think no such thing Budd and when do you ever even hear me talk about it. There are plenty of people both smarter and with better educations than I have and plenty who are not as smart and have less. The difference between us is I don't attack those that have less or think myself superior to those who have more and you do both although more of the latter.

Yea, sure. I have heard that one before. You may be done now because you don't have a valid argument and I hope so for your sake.
