no, didn't have the hose either.

I went to napa, and asked for the parts off of a '2000 tundra. IIRC.:meh: P/n 381328 It's like 20" long, so it may be better for a lift kit in the future. There is a picture on the napa site, you can verify if that is the right ends.

Yeah, I tacked on a plate last night, with a vin cutout. It only goes to the first crossmember. I'll post pics later tonight

Well I noticed a small crack in the frame when I was greasing the front end. I was driving it everyday, no noticable problems. :doh: I have started the repair. At least there is no need to drill a hole at the end of the crack!:grinpimp: I 'm going to box the inside, and a scab plate on...

What I needed it for I thought it was only cracked, till I tore it down.:bang: I'm going to box the inside, and put a scab plate on the outer side, and not sure about the bottom. Was done with 6011's

*update* I bought the 225 amp ac/dc stick welder. I'll wire in a receptacle in the panel box and run an extension cord.

Yeah, good points. Looking at the big crack, It kind of continues to the bottom of the frame rail. I think to do it properly, I will need to remove the perches, and see what's under there. I'm trying to decide if I want to cut a piece of 1/4" plate the width of the bottom of the frame. Put a...

Hi, Being as how I have manual steering, I keep the front end well greased. During the process I saw a small crack, I removed winch bumper and the brackets and such and saw this. The P.o must have tried to fix this himself. *cough BUTCHER cough* The 1 pic is the passenger outer side, directly...

OK, here's where I am now. I am looking at 3 machines (right now at least) I found a used lincoln 225 Ac/dc For $450 Including a 50 extension cord, And lots of rods. Or this lincoln welder - Calgary Tools & Hardware For Sale - Kijiji Calgary Canada. (rebadged lincoln 180 or this Its an...

When my 283 blows up I will be getting this https://store.gmperformanceparts.com/store/SelectProd.do?prodId=7665&redir=true&manufacturer=GM&category=Engines&name=350/290%20HP%20Economy%20Performance%20Engine%20&model=%3C!--12499529--%3E BRAND NEW for less than $2500

If I had 4 g's I'd get a new tub first.:grinpimp::bounce:

Ok, thanks everyone. Last few questions. 1. My basement is finished, and I am planning on moving next year. So I don't really want to run a new 220 circuit to the garage. Having said that, I have a 30 amp 220 for the dryer that is 30' away, Will I be able to weld up to 1/4" with 30 amps? If...

so the maxstar 150 you had before ran on 220 from a generator? it looks like it will do both 220 and 110. From the specs it says 100 amps at 35% on 110 power, Is that enough for 3/16" steel?

Hi, I am looking for some insight on what size and type of welder to purchase. In school I was an above average welder. This was years ago however. I am competent in brazing, mig and arc welding. What I am lacking is knowledge of the actual welders. I used what the school had. DC arc...

Check the cam lobes while it's out of the truck, it's easier on a stand. If they are gone, you could put an rv cam in. I think the 305 would be a good fit. I have a '60's 283 that's old and worn out, and it does fine.
