I ended up buying Snap-On’s S713A 1/2 and FL80 3/8 ratchets…the 1/2″ was 80 off the truck and the 3/8 was 104. I didn’t care about the price (and still don’t) because the next day I bought them, a customer at my hardware store returned a crapsman that was two weeks old with the whole quick release mechanism destroyed. >,< I told him what I got and yeah, I may have lost a sale, but gained trust with a customer on my word. I also brought up Mac and Matco to him and he said he would look into all three but would likely go with Snap-On. When I see him next time, I will bring it up and see what he got then update ya'll on it. Ciao

I discovered the problem was with the relay at the steering wheel toggle. Replaced the switch and everything is working fine now! 🙂

It would be good if I clarified that, hu? LOL Its a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder XE. The bulbs are Salvania Ultra’s and they are oe I think….idk, all I know is they are around $30 a pair. The usual life of the high beams are about three months before they start going out. Oh, I also forgot to mention, one will go out for about a week or so then come back on for about the same time, then off/on. Once the first goes out, the other one will be close behind, acting the same; off, on, back and forth then out for good. I hope that helps clear things out some :-/

My old friend had an 85 4-Runner that shot a rod while traveling I-5 a few years back. After researching for about a month, he came to the conclusion to purchase a rebuilt long block. After assembling the motor to the rebuilt tranny and back into the compartment, he then hit a road block–setting the efi. This alone took close to a month to complete alone.
That being taught, I learned that if I was going to replace the motor on my Pathfinder (or any other fuel-injected motor), I would have to basically take a class on how to set the efi. So, if you need to do the same to yours, study hard and get to know not only the basics of adjusting the efi, but how to install it correctly so that your not playing with it for days on end with no results!!
The only question is this; is the efi easier/more difficult to set then a good ol’ fashioned carb? I would assume easier but then again, we thought the efi would be a cake walk. WRONG!! lol

Ok, so let me take this a step further by asking the following–What (if any) difference is there between lets say the “New Car” oil vs regular vs “High Mileage”? My ’91 Pathy has 204,xxx miles on it and I have used only the Castrol High-Mileage oil in it….is that any better/worse than the regular stuff? Also, can you touch upon the kinds of oil (5w-30 vs 10w-20 or whatever they may all be)? I think there is a vid out there describing them and if so, I can look for it/watch it after work (grr) tonight. Anyway, great vid! Oh, and who says that you have a minimum on “FACE TIME” per video???! HAHA Keep it going!

That is insane! Then wait….do Indy cars have two-stroke motors or four? They scream at intense pitches (RPM’s yet go a bajillion miles per hour at insanely light weights! Is it due to the technology on the the 4-stroke combustion motors and tons of money thrown at it or are they 2-stroke? I would think that, with the lighter weight and better overall power that emissions wouldn’t be of top concerns to the sponsors/tv companies!

Very interesting! Yeah, I knew about the smaller motors for garden tools but didn’t think they would have been used so much in the larger until again recently.
Do the locomotive engines run cleaner than the 4-strokes? Ive seen vids on youtube of 4-strokes clagging up a fierce cloud of black smoke for very long periods of time and even barking flames (these on new locomotives even) and only one do that for a short time in a 2-stroke.
