3 on the tree 👍🏻
@truracer206 сағат бұрын
In the late 90's and early 2000's I owned a 74 Chevy c10 with the 250-6 and 3 on the tree, I absolutely loved that truck and it was easy to drive even without power steering. Still had points ignition. Paid $400 for it in 98. You could get yourself out of most breakdowns with a crescent wrench and a multi tool. Throw in a gas can and a roll of duct tape and you were ready for a coast to coast road trip. I bought it because it sipped gas and my only other car was a 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 455 Olds swap.

@@truracer20 absolutely! I could fix almost anything on my 65 c10 with screwdriver, pair of pliers, and a ratchet strap, lol. I have literally used all of those things to get it back multiple times. If a modern car breaks down, you need a scan tool and the problem usually cant be bypassed to get you home.

WD-40 is not a lubricant
@Reddirtrodz15 күн бұрын
@@TheFact_Verse WD-40 is a lubricant dissolved in solvents, that's why it does what it does (disperses water for long terms). It is a lubricant, cleaner, and rust protectant. One of the reasons it is used as a penetrant is the lubricant is dissolved in thin solvents, so the solvent thins out the lube and helps carry it into the stuck part, and then the solvent dissipates, leaving only the lubricant. I mean I would expect you to know that, considering your name...
@TheFact_Verse11 күн бұрын
@@Reddirtrodz Take your hand and pick up a can of WD-40, lift it up, higher, so you can read the letters with your own eyes. Maybe use some glasses. You will find out that there is not written oil on it. Also, think a moment. If you're American, the world consists of other countries as well. Not all countries have the same ingredients for the same product. For me, to use something to lube anything, I don't use a water displacement, nor any solvents, I use oil in the useful weight.
