“ …it smokes at stop lights, that's where the leak is coming from.”My yellow sub hauled in 6 days, 8 to 12 loads a day 12 bags/load of 80# sakrete thrown on my new driveway.
(I opened the bag). The pallet would not go into the bed due to the wheel wells, so it had to be hand loaded. The kids got their workout, including this old one. The broken bag deals were half price & I took advantage of those. Now the driveway is a real driveway with 3x5" recycled "RipRap" concrete for a base. Got tired of all the recycled asphalt dust. The ranger earned it's keep that month. The contractors wanted $8000 for doing it themselves, (no riprap)- I hired some guy with a little skid steer and his friend to dump 40 yards of 75% riprap/25% top cover, and then I spread the bagged concrete. 4 months after a laminectomy. Now that's what I call physical therapy. No more driveway problems, makes that new 18" culvert work!
My valve covers are leaking onto my cats and it smokes at stop lights, that's where the leak is coming from. Not as bad as the kids in there diesels however. I'll wait till it gets cooler.
Tire clowns.....200 psi on the impact and then there is the torq wrench, make sure it's set to the type of wheel & stud correctly. "click", oh it's perfect~speaking of sorry sacks.
It all made sense except one thing. If the stoplights are leaking down onto your valve covers, and then it drips on the cat and it smokes, why don’t you just stop somewhere that’s not Under a stoplight?
