In a discussion with a buddy about what is usually stored in the top bit of a tall box. I've always stored whatever junk doesn't go anywhere else. What do you pros do?
My sockets are too tall, the lid won't close.
No I'm not blind to the irony of the Buy American sign next to my Chyna toolbox.
Cheers!
This is a ford 302, runs pretty nice for the miles. I'm changing my water pump out and I notices almost 1/4 inch of end play on the crank. I've looked in the bellowing and I can see the clutch moving as well, so it's not just a loose pulley. I'm surprised this thing is running at all.
But we got it out . Happy customer for sure
“Suggested for you” well duh it’s my post 🤣 honestly it was just crazy because I opened the app and it was the second post to appear on my feed and I had to do a complete double take 😮💨

Red wire is main fuse panel power from batteries. Unit does not have any sort of auto start or idle management. Cab and dash woke up when power was connected. Note key on floorboard.
Most of the fuses were shorted to the main power input and had constant power.

Opened the hood of my new to me '19 F150 and found this. Yup, it's the size that you think it is. It is now my prisoner!
Actually really clean. 1992, 90k miles. Gasket seemed to be original and was like old dry leather, some blind goon had tried to seal it up with clear bathroom silicone 🤢
What's most you have found?
This came off a 02 Mercury Sable, parts under 6 months old. The previous mechanics didn’t torque the link properly, or nut/joint failed? I fixed it quick and didn’t take a pic of it on the vehicle as I had another job going. The nut was gone, but there was some gouging in the spindle itself from something known but it looked recent. Odd job.
