What did you do to your street truck today?

That's kind of what I was looking at, I need something that will stay on even if it gets loose. The last thing I want to do is drive over the bolt when it comes out and puncture my own tire, they are damned expensive down here. I agree on the "side note" the internet is not always your friend.

Yea, they’re not going anywhere. You’d have to have glowing red headers in arctic weather type of heat cycles for them to back all the way off. Even then I’m not sure lol

@GrimsterGMC i can’t find a pic online, but they other type of pinched nut will have 3 indentions on one side making the threads more triangular on the one face versus oblong like the others. I’ll see if I can find one in my bolt bin and post a picture tomorrow.

That’s the ones lol, I found these in my bolt bin. See these are pinched in two sides instead of three but you get the idea. Maybe they’re peened? Or pressed?

Cursed at this daggum timing cover that started leaking less than 500 miles after I installed it.

Drilled and tapped the heater fitting and added repair fitting to rear evaporator on the 95 burb I'm redoing. Heater fitting was the third one I've done so it was not bad.
The Evap repair had me pulling out my hair looking for fittings I'm Using Dorman compression fitting and Dorman 800-9961 Dorman 800-963 female o-ring tube ends but the swivel nuts are Unobtainium. I saved the 5/8 nut and reused it but I cut the 3/8 nut to save the $53 tube to the expansion valve. Got some of the seen on TV aluminium low temp brazing rods from Harbor freight and brazed the end to the factory tube.

Ugh. This sounds like a pain.

Finished reassembly after completing a cheap driveway repaint yesterday. It’s far from perfect but better than the 4-5 colors it has been since I bought it. Now I can return focus to buttoning up sone interior projects.

Are you kidding? That's looks perfect!
