Re: new box power steering

Here is a link to one that does forged units for cars to large trucks. http://www.powersandsonsllc.com/pitman_arm.HTML I do not know how the ...

Re: new box power steering
Kirk,
It is a real shame in todays world we have to be so paranoid. Like you I have lots of ideas but not worth it unless you can afford the insurance.

Start a topic about funny towing stories, I still have a couple to laugh at so here it comes ready or not. :thinking We like to camp with a tent trailer during the 90. We had a 86 Buick full size wagon and my 72 Dodge work ...

Maybe, until we are in trouble and need a new tank or NASA needs a Saturn type rock or work on a top secret project .

Re: new box power steering
Kurt, That sounds like it could work even better than I thought. On the direction of rotation I would be susprised that it is not the same as a sweptline. These boxes all mounted just after the firewall. It should be not much of a problem if they do not want to make a spacer for a person to make his...

Re: Just had to vent.
Hi Ed, My wife has swelling in the legs periodically that the doctors can't explain. One thing that helps a lot is riding a bicycle, even the stationary bike for a half hour in the late morning seems to make a great improvement. I guess it pumps the fluid up and mixes it so the kidneys can expel th...

Re: Gainfully Employed!!!!
Congratulations on finding the new job. You must have replaced me as I was laid off last Friday. What a drag when you are over 60, here comes early retirement, I hope .
Wish you well with the new job.
