Awesome new mod!

Magnetic oild drain plug. $2.34 at the Zone

Shouldnt it only count as a mod if it requires at least a small amount of effort?

 

[drohweder]

It did. I had to change my oil and go to the store Plus this oil drain bolt had more thread than normal. Definatley not a job for a rookie

All our drain plugs over here come standard with a magnet inside them?

Another mod we get here is a magnetic sleeve that fits over the oil filter, traps any metal particles in the filter, even if they are small enough to pass through.

we get magnetic drain plugs in aus too, and geeze did my gearbox oil look pretty and pasty tust after it blew it'self to smitherines

I think you need to write up a tech note on this since the threads were long

What about magnetized bumpers? that way when my broken fuel gauge (or my stupid mileage calculations) causes me to run out of gas I can just hitch onto a tractor trailer on the highway!

Well in that case, maybe you should come down and show me how. I mean, i dont know if i have the technical knowledge to turn a wrench a couple more times. After a few i might get confused, and just start beating the wrench on the truck and beating my chest.

If it had photos it would qualify

How about electro-magnets via the ALT. Run to the oil sump, trany, t-case etc. Plaus I like the bumper idea, with the cost of fuel tagging along behind a semi....what great cruise control.

We need an actual photo of Dan busting a knuckle loading that magnet into his oil pan. Maybe even include the going to the store to buy it - so we know how tough it was to hunt it down...

you didn't think you were going to get away this easy did you --drohweder

 

[drohweder]

Hey! Just cause you could figure out how to INSTALL a drain plug with extra thread doesn't mean that its an easy task. I personally am quite proud of my accomplishments. I'll be doing a cummins conversion next...I think I doing this gave me the confidence to take that on.

I've been really busy installing my new air filter so maybe I can do the tech write up on the drain plug once I finish. PM me with questions.

 

[IDave]

It's really good to see you're getting your hands dirty, Dan.

 

[teapot]

i've got a fever and the only cure is more magnets

Another sweet mod:

Just put a crystal pyramid above my engine. Should add an extra 20hp. PYRAMID POWER! Really, it works. $6 crystal from the smoke shop and your are lightn' up the tires!

 

[65swb45]

How about those magnets that clip on your fuel line?

And those magnets that you wear around the wrist? And those pyramid looking things you dangle over your bed?

And don't forget the one especially designed for dripping sarcasm!
