Random Thought Thread

[Standard78]

In a random thought thread, nothing is off topic!

True true.
Somehow Instagram heard me and my friend talking about the CP4 pump issue that might happen to his F250 last night while we were replacing camshafts on his Jeep with the 3.6 Pentastar, so now I’m getting bombarded with advertisements and the search function on there is all Jeep and Ford crap.
Kinda creepy to see how phones invade privacy.

Somehow, 5 minutes of welding and 10 minutes of grinding and filing turned into a 90 minute ordeal. But it works...

Don't forget the EZ-In cut to idiot-scratch-proof reassembly.

Off topic, but I came across this 6.7 CP4 pump bypass kit that might save the fuel system for your new truck. May be worth looking into.
Murphjd25 also.

Yeah you can do that or go with a DCR pump, I’m not too worried about it. They pinned the pump on the 2020+ 3rd gen 6.7 PowerStrokes, so I’m running the CP4.2. And if it would have blown up already it would have. lol

I walked into a little knife shop here today in Winthrop, and walked out with a brand new CRK Green Beret 7” for $200.

That’s a steal, Josh ! Great find. I’ve wanted to try out the GB and CRK’s Pacific ever since I sold my Spartan-Harsey Difensa a little over a year ago. It was a great knife and I’ve read that the GB and Pacific are very comparable.

Impressive, Lorien. I didn't even know they made wet brakes for bicycles ... is there a fluid reservoir on the handle bar ?

 

[Big DJ]

Yes they do and yes the reservoir is at the brake lever.

sho nuf, DOT5.1 even! What isn't super common with bikes is 6 piston calipers- this unit is close to 20 years old (I have a bit of a hoarding problem lol)

I need a flame thrower

I’ve been stung twice this weekend, once by an angry wasp, another time by a damn honey bee.
