You know me. I will keep looking until I find something if it's something I want or need. LOL
Now all I need are the ends for the 97-98 clockspring from a GEN 10 truck. I'd like both sides (male and female) if possible. Anyone got an old clock spring sitting collecting dust? It must have these black ends on it. White ones are later models and won't work for my project.
Good morning thinkers!- its hump day!-
You guys think too much- id take a ‘69,’70,’71Torino fastback, preferably with a 390.... or a ‘67 Fairlane with a 390.... or a ‘66 Galaxie 7 liter edition... or.... Stop it Bill!, you dont NEED something else!!
Anyhooo- have a good day fellers!

Was need ever part of the equation when it comes to cool stuff?
In kind of a predicament with this 06 Escape. Not sure if I mentioned that I got it all back together, and it has the PO171 code.... think I did? Anyway, I smoked it last night and it has a crack in the intake. Right up front, and I don't know just how in the world I didn't see it. I went back and looked at video, and sure as can be... it's there. I found a wiring harness that was pinched, and a bad vacuum line in the same spot, but somehow I missed this. I remember noticing it was wet right there, and dismissing it.... and now I wonder if it had been like that for a while? I literally started it and backed it up 40 feet to where I did all of the work. Doesn't seem like THAT would make it wet like this.
So part of me wants to do the right thing and replace the intake. And part of me wants to do the other right thing, and try to patch it somehow. You can BARELY feel it with your fingernail.
I'll probably try the patch and see how it runs before I go buyin' a new intake for it. Too many unknowns yet.... I did drive it about two miles after the work I've done, and it seems fine. But I haven't touched the airbag stuff yet.

I would patch it for now to make sure it is the only and last issue.
Once everything else is eliminated, fix that.
Patching that looks like a bit of brake clean, scotchbrite, and some JB weld, for a temp patch.
Beat me to the JB Weld suggestion. Their two part epoxy is pretty good, IF it's not outdated. It doesn't weather well on the shelf IME. As long as you can get at, and prep the repair area well, it should be fine for that...imo.
Good call on the JB Weld. That'll lock it up like Fort Knox.
On a non heated area, I would think Flex=Paste would work too. That crap seals about anything except 250 degrees up. Easy way to check if that would be your only problem. Marine-Tex is really good sealing block cracks.
