Hey Kevin, thanks! It's funny that so many if our trucks need repairs in the same areas. I was thinking that the warping was due to too much heat applied too quickly. After I noticed that there was warping going on, I made a concerted effort ot use compressed air to cool each weld. I really didn't notice any positive impact from doing it, though. I did attempt to planish my welds. Again, I didn't notice any effect. I guess I just don't fully understand the process and what's happening in the metal. Fortunately for me, this is the first warping that I've encountered and I'm nearing the end of the metal work. Frankly, I'm ready to move on to some mechanical issues and get a change of pace! Soon....
