If I were to fall off a flume and my life at Truckee Meadows Water Authority flashed before my eyes, it would look a lot like this video. Two-and-a-half years of my at-work photography squished into four minutes and 40 seconds.
TMWA's Fleish Tunnel Project "Hole-Through Day" - Nov 17, 2014
Переглядів 7939 років тому
The 1,200-ft Fleish Tunnel Project is the result of a need to protect an exposed section of TMWA's hydroelectric flume system from costly damage due to rockfall. This video was produced to both document the tunnel's construction and celebrate the project's "hole-through day"-the point at which the excavation stops being a "hole" and becomes a true tunnel with an opening on each end.

Home-Built Steadycam Mount, Test One
Переглядів 11111 років тому
My project for today was to build a do-it-yourself steadycam mount for a GoPro camera. Here's a before-and-after clip to show you the difference. It's a huge improvement but I still have issues with lateral sway. I'm sure more practice will help but I also expect to do a bit more tinkering in the shop before this is fully dialed in.
TMWA Ice Fighting Trailer

I just couldn't resist the lure of the iMovie, movie trailer templates. Cliche? Yes, but my mom was impressed. Ice fighting itself is actually kind of interesting. Truckee Meadows Water Authority has to send guys to literally hammer and scrape ice of their hydroelectric plants' water intakes to keep them from icing up.

    A great job it was. I am planning to do the job on my silverado 1989 4.3 v6. It has the same tilting steering wheel. I still need to buy the plate ring removal tool. It will be the first time I will do it. My truck is a 1989 Silverado 4.3 model 1500 v6. A nice truck with manual transmission . 4 speed with O/drive plus reverse. Thanks from the island of Aruba.

  • @djdrew168
    @djdrew168 6 років тому

    Yes, the video is very informative showing many tips and tricks other videos failed to show. But in the process of all this disassembly and reassembly, you failed to also assume that the actual upper steering bearing was okay. Having the steering column totally torn down to this point, it is foolish not to go ahead and check the bearing if not replace it also. as by the time these bolts wiggle loose through normal usage, that bearing is usually worn out too. Having devoted this much time to your video, and including so much useful info in it, you need to also include the removal and replacement of that upper steering column bearing too, would you not think so? I'm not berating you for it, just some helpful hopefully beneficial critique is all.

    • @charpero65
      @charpero65 6 років тому

      Good point and something I definitely overlooked when I was doing this job. I was looking for a root cause and not really thinking about a complete overhaul of the assembly. Something to consider for next time. Thank you for the feedback!

      I can't say for sure, but I was surprised how similar the suburban assembly were to those in a Pontiac Fierro. My guess is that it will be very similar.

    Will you eventually lose steering if you dont fix this?

    • @charpero65
      @charpero65 7 років тому

      This problem is caused by several large machine screws getting loose at the base of the steering assembly. I have no clue if the steering assembly could fail completely while you were driving but I wouldn't risk it. The job is a pain but it has to be done.

    • @kingchilly
      @kingchilly 7 років тому

      KC Cochran look down below the steering column and take off the plastic trim right under the column and take off the metal trim that has 4 or 5 screws which will expose the wires that run up through the column. I took off the bracket that has 4 1/2in screws and unplugged the cable which allowed me enough cable

      One way to know for sure is by checking this link: www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/images/d/d6/Jazzman_Steering_Rack_Rebuild.pdf. It shows a thorough breakdown of a Pontiac Fiero steering column which, amazingly, is almost the exact same as my Suburban-everthing is just a different size.

    Do you think this would work for a 1986 buick lesabre? My steering wheel does the same thing and I figured it would be similar because it's a Older model GM

    • @charpero65

      My guess is that it probably will. Most of the parts in GM steering wheel assemblies are very similar from one car to the next.

    The small plastic piece mentioned ( that pushes on bright push rod end ] fell out, After 3 hrs in 100 degree heat. Decided to come ask How in hell does it stay in during assembly. Has radius end against rod end. fits in 1/4 round groove above toward center. Doesn't appear to snap onto turn signal arm end, Just butts to it ?

    We found out the trick for removing that inner casing @ 11:15. Reinstall the tilt lever. straighten out the shaft, pull back on the lever and it releases the two feet holding it in place and the inner case slides up and out exposing the joint and bolts. Me thinks you accidentally missed that step in your video. But hey, that's why I check other video sources. Thanks for you video nonetheless.
