    battery keeps going dead

    I didn't even notice that comment. I bought a new rectifier assy. They are selling for about 125-130 from Toyota online.

    battery keeps going dead

    I am wondering if he checked for voltage drop yet, to rule out cables.

    Lex/550 problems. Extremely lean

    Why does this smell like it has K&N oil written all over it?

    battery keeps going dead

    Does it go dead with the new battery? Either way, this is your clue.

    battery keeps going dead

    1. The battery is bad. 2. The battery is not being charged while running. This is indicated on the dash by a picture of the battery. That is your discharge light. 3. Drain, do what 3.14 said. 4. A bunch of corrosion on the cables inside insulator.

    Lex/550 problems. Extremely lean

    The Lexus (UZ engine)housing will not cause a rich or lean condition with 550 injectors. You need to find what you did, or what was wrong before hand.

    Possible grounding problem?

    Yeah, make sure the power wires do not have a direct ground. And turn everything off. Entropy is a bitch. So is chaffing.

    Possible grounding problem?

    That is current. There was already a heavy draw on the system from something like the alternator cable being grounded. Resistance is low, so current goes very high.

    Thanks JJ, that is very cool. I like those things and have visited the Air and Space Museum each time I put on the shit waders and go to DC.

    Spark plugs

    And you say relax? I try real hard not to show the stupidity of people like you daily here. In fact I have toned it down a great deal over the years. You can be certain I am not unhappy. You and your attitude has led to the down fall of this country, and you don't even know why. It has allowed...

    Spark plugs

    This is a dumb post. It is not a matter of he said/she said. One is right, one is wrong. Because the wrong person will not concede due to pride or wanting people to not know (politics) is the reason for almost all dispute, the "smilie" is dumb for almost all instances.

    New AR15

    That is what I said. There is a lot of margin in the rifle. Because the market will bear it. I was just looking at a local shop, and to me it is a clown show with straight face. 800-1300.

    How Screwed Am I?

    I realize you do not do this professionaly, but it can be pulled in 1.5 hours with a lift. You separate the harness from the engine. Separate the motor mounts. Separate the bellhousing bolts.... coolant lines, etc etc. Some people struggle with the motor mounts and trans alignment and just pull...

    Fuel Pulsation Damper Union Bolt Size and removal tips?

    If you do not reach the force needed to crush the copper gasket, fuel will spray. Force in a rotation motion is torque.

    How is caster adjusted?

    I have only done about 100 alignments in my life. Which is nothing. I know guys that worked only on the rack, and they did 100 over the course of a couple of months. And I have never seen anybody not know how to do it, but I have read tons like this thread.

    Are human beings this ignorant? A strut brace rant.

    My comment was not directed to you, or Dirgle who asked about it. It is about things over several years.

    How is caster adjusted?

    The market is flooded with incompetent people that should not work in the field.

    New AR15

    The amount of units is irrelevant. By market forces, which is what should control prices, he did ok. My point stands that there is a lot of margin in the AR-15 variants, because the market will bear it.

    Are human beings this ignorant? A strut brace rant.

    Strut is short for Mac Struts, on a car. As stated, it replaces the upper control arm. The Supra does not have any struts on its suspension. And yes, us gringos call dampers the wrong thing. Because a shock absorber doesn't absorb any shock. It dampens spring oscillation, and nothing more. A...
