they make oil drain valves for every vehicle on the planet. They're not cheap but in the long run they're a great investment if you change your own oil.
Except the early 2011 ford 6.7. Go figure
With a tad over 500k 6.7 with that style plug made. I'd say the market is there.Maybe because even I know no one wants the early 2011 ford 6.7??
No market?

Mine has 200k deleted early no issues whatsoever
Any issues at all with anythingWith the OEM plug?
3rd brake light on my 2014 F150 started leaking....again. Second time it's done it. First time I bought another OEM brake light that was suppose to be "improved" which is their way of saying a little thicker gasket around it. It's a known and very common problem for these things to leak. Ford dealership wants $125 for a new one and don't sell just the gasket. Gasket on Amazon is $10 with mixed reviews. I do not want to put silicone (RTV or otherwise) on it as some videos or post on other forums suggests. Looking over some Youtube videos and apparently it's a problem for some Dodge truck owners as well. Got the idea of using a weather seal from a Youtube video of a Dodge truck owner. $3.48 for Duck Weatherstrip Seal and I'm back in business. No leaks during the rain yesterday.

When you taking me for a ride in that thing?I finished the install of a 2 liter jdm motor I put in my youngest son's 05 WRX.

Better yet....where are the keys?? Lol

Extension or torsion? What size door?Installed a new garage door opener, and put new springs on the door.
It works again.
Not to bad of a job, and I've never done it before.
Not "in the garage" but I picked up the following at a Pawn Shop for $13"
Craftsman 5/8-3/4 open end wrench
Craftsman 9/16-5/8 open end wrench
Craftsman 11/16 combo wrench
2 Gear Wrench 11/16 ratchet wrenches
Gear Wrench 5/8 ratchet wrench
Snap-on 13mm wrench
Craftsman 1/2 and 3/8 drive ratchets.
I thought that was pretty good. Also picked up 34 Craftsman sockets for $12. Guy at the flea market on 301 in Rocky Mount wanted $7 for one Craftsman 17mm wrench and $2 per socket. No thanks.
Today I stopped by a speed shop with @carolina-snipe that I used to hang out at 35 years ago. It was a step back in time!
Almost everything’s the same, even the fridge their grandfather bought after WWII is still in use.

I have no idea why some pics upload sideways.
They’re nice folks, the front of the machine shop is a wooden floor, a horse trough is still underneath, it was where the horses were kept for the building next door.PLEASE tell me where this place is, I used to work in a small speed shop very similar to this one back in the 1970's. I'd love to visit.

What distributor? In the 80’s I worked a couple buildings over doing concourse Corvette restoration with Carolina Corvette.Back in the early 1980's they were a customer of mine at a warehouse distributor I worked for. Awesome, thanks for the update. Kinda hard to believe they've made it this long. Good for them.

Yessir, I loved the signs they used to have hanging in there. They’re so much better than Fastenall!Bellwether Automotive. Based out of Chicago with 6 other warehouses across the eastern US. I ran the Charlotte location.
You know Tommy Wilder, Wilders Fasteners?

Honda still getting payback for WW2. LolBoth of our vehicles (‘03 Ram & ‘05 Pilot) have really cruddy headlights. Decided instead of trying to polish them I’d just replace the assemblies.
Had them for a month or so and decided today was the day to swap hers out. Each headlight is held on at four points. Wouldn’t you know it, three can be reached simply by popping the hood. The fourth, as my luck would have it, requires removed the front end.
Here’s a random collection of pics...

Probably attempt mine Mon or Tue next week.
C7 corvette / supercharged / long tube headers/ methanol injection/hi flow air filter / ngk plugs / solar ported tb/mgk short shifter/ 601hp to the wheels and probably around 680-90ish at the crank@amnesia what is your fun car?
I just spent some time picking up out there, throwing some trash away (like those old, worn out pads from a month ago), moving a storage rack to a better place and condensing boxes to make more space.
While it's not a lot, not like a big car project etc, it's quite rewarding and I like how much more spacious the garage feels

New battery in the Ram. And replaced two bolts I broke in the process, and a 3rd that was a proactive replacement.
Snapped that one, and one of the terminal carriage bolts. Replaced the other terminal bolt as well. 96¢ trip to Lowe’s.[Deleted] nut on the wedge that locks the base of the battery is frozen. Soaking in WD-40 now. I might have to break it off if it doesn't take care of itself first.
