well I called Orielly auto parts and cashed in on my Limited lifetime warranty the pinion gear died on the old starter, kind of a shame it was great starter
the parts clerk told me i got good use out of since it lasted 14 years... i was laughing and said I wish, but the new one will get a good work out

Well hopefully this will cure my exhaust leak and stop the exhaust pipe from boiling my brake fluid in the distribution block. Such a difference owning a Jeep the only thing I care about is that it’s quite and doesn’t hang on rocks lol

Maybe think about liquid insulation. I've even used it to seal pin holes in the floor and repair my duck boots.

great picture of Jr. I can already picture him doing a burnout with that 360 in about 16 years. I'm thinking maybe wheelie bar for that jeep also.

Lol it does have some good power and torque and I didn’t help that situation with the 3.91 gears and NV4500 Transmission
Well as usual 1 step forward and a few back, now the driver front caliper is frozen, I remembered today that I have a lifetime warranty on them so off it comes and back to bleeding brakes I go hopefully tomorrow

Yeah I love life time warranty parts also. Last item I took back was rotors, after 25 years from Napa. They were surprised when I pulled out my receipt. They don't do that anymore. Just 1 year now.

Wow just wow
Have you seen the video of the lady and her 1960s fairlane I think, she has had it since new and has kept all her receipts and had some company honor their lifetime warranty even though they don’t make the part anymore
