    Just “Hwhipped” up power steering pump bracket for the 440 in my power wagon, came in for dinner and watched the magic happen at PFS. Lovin the content- totally entertained and learning at the same time!

    The truck is really coming together! Your video on tuning up the Towrolla helped me out this week by giving insight into changing plugs and coils on a Toyota engine. Mine is an '06 Scion, made by Toyota and a similar style engine. That plug socket with the built-in extension helped immensely when I purchased one because of seeing it on your video as well! Your efforts to help with knowledge do not go unnoticed! Keep up the great work!

    Mom turns 68 the 1st week of August. A happy birthday to Rose in Klamath Oregon before a power washing would make her the happiest woman alive. That and the "sitting on your ass" shirt I'm getting her. She's definitely your top number 1 fan ever of all time. If you could work in a birthday wish I think she'll faint! If not she'll enjoy her shirt and wear it with pride and tell anyone that will listen all about your show and how they need to watch even if they ain't car people lol. She just loves you.

    Watch out for engine torque on the fan shroud and the exhaust. The engine will move side ways a small amount and bang the shroud with the fan and also the exhaust might hit too. You know when you accelerate and the motor torques side ways. It can possibly hit. Ask me how I know.

    Helping when they can, but not takin any crap either. Love the videos and always looking forward to the next one.

    While I was watching you talk about Hot Rod there were two things going through my mind. One was that children learn more by example than by being told. The second was your segment about the angel tree last Christmas. Perhaps some of the people who questioned your motive for that segment will see this and realize you meant what you said. Congratulations to you and your wife on your beautiful family.

    Somebody needs to show puddin the glory that is a ford ranger belt tensioner. Those things work almost anywhere. You can even stash one on the bottom of the engine bay. They only require 2 holes to mount and make changing the belt soo much easier. Then he could solid mount the alt.

    For thin stuff like exhaust or body panels you should use .023 or .025 wire. The heat affected zone will be smaller and you’ll see less warpage and burn through. .030 and .035 are great for thicker material like frames and bracketry.

    the opening of the shroud standing off the radiator core is good enough. for true fan efficiency, you need to "end" the shroud @ half the depth of the fan's blades
