    Great Dealer Service on my truck. (sarcastic)

    So I have this 2011 Ford Ranger and I have our local dealer service it. I take it in a few months ago for it's 16000 km service. I get it back and it's got this big old greasy hand print on my drivers inside panel and the rubber door bumper is ripped off. So I left it alone and brought it in...

    This is for anyone thinking of going. Just a tidbit of information. It was the third week in December. My first time in Florida. I'm not a big traveller.

    Rememberance Day/Veterans Day. Lest We Forget.

    The time is near again for us to remember those who served. Although I thank those who served all campaigns daily but the WWII holds special feelings for me because my father served and was wounded on May 23/44 on the Hitler line in Italy. He was hit twice on the same day by mortar shrapnel. He...

    1973 Johnson 50hp gear shift linkage

    I just acquired a 1973 Johnson 50hp short shaft. Model 50ES73A. I haven't had much time to fool with it, but the shift linkage on the motor seems to be either broken inside the motor or somewhere else. It's just not hooked up. Apparently a friend of the previous owner forced it into gear and...

    1985 Peterborough Ski Sport Tri Hull Rebuild

    Well, it's official... I am insane. And I am back with a new to me boat. It's a 1985 Peterborough tri hull. And it needs help, along with me. It's worn out, rotten, beat up, but I love it. It has a 50hp Johnson outboard, not sure of the year yet, that I will be discarding. It's a short shaft...

    Sound proofing 2 stroke cover.

    I come to the JohnnyRude guru's again looking for an answer. I'm repainting my 1985 45hp commercial outboard. My question is can I soundproof, insulate my hood to deaden the noise a bit? Obviously it's water cooled but will this affect the cooling at all? Thank you for you help and wisdom.
