I thought about making this a project with step-by-step accounting of all I did but I didn't because (a) I'm sort of tired of doing that. I've done lots of those projects here and none of them have become tech-tips.
Thanks Jon for all of your hard work. I know what you mean, documenting all of the steps in a project, submitting it for a “Tech Tip”, only to find that section of this Forum seems to be a dead end. I submitted one over a year and a half and a half ago “Aligning the front end of an AD truck”, and have two more ready for submission, “ 1/2 Ton Axle Repair” and one you helped me out on, “ Testing a Gas Gauge on a Stovebolt”. I even offered to help do whatever they needed to get the “Tech Tips” section back up and running.
I hope this section gets fixed, as it is, and has been, very helpful to allot of us just getting into the hobby.
Keep up the great work Jon, as there is many of us ‘bolters following your every post!
