Ya. She’s a German Shepherd. Smart, and can sense sketchiness a mile away.
...or it could be she’s just pouting because I won’t throw the stupid ball for like the 5 millionth time.

Sweet 60! Has anyone ever given you crap about the TLCA sticker on your vintage vehicle plates? The chick at the dmv was lighting me up when I got vintage plates on my 83 pickup. I hate the stupid carriage on it haha.

2F Crank Repairable?... and Other Questions
Sheared the key. Pulley is wallowed out and is garbage. Timing gear is grooved badly. Any opinions on the crank? Besides the obvious gouge it’s lost material around the entire diameter where the pulley sat & spun.

Finally had time to get back at it… Crank repair $150. Not pretty to look at but should do the trick.

What had to happen to have that crank repaired? Mine broke at some point before I bought the truck and it looks like someone tack welded the key in place and filled the rest of the blown out crank with epoxy putty. That repair is gorgeous compared to mine...

Good question. I actually never talked to anyone at the company who did the work. I took the crank to Jensen's in Ogden who I have trusted for years, (and for good reason, they do stellar machine work), and they said there's a place in Salt Lake City they can send the crank to who they trust, (I can't recall the name of the place, but I can find out if anyone wants to know). So I don't know the specifics, but I was told the gouge was cut out, the entire nose was machined down, material was added that also filled some of the keyhole, then they machined it down to fit the new harmonic balancer perfectly. Jensen's had to cut out the key groove which they weren't stoked about because its such an odd shape.
If the repair holds
fixing the crank was the move for me because $150's pretty cheap, and like I said, when I tore it all down the crank journals and bearings all looked practically new so fixing the crank saved me the cost and worry of fitting new bearings to a new crank. If someone needs new bearings and all the machine work, a different crank is maybe the better move.
