    Which is the best smart phone

    Water Wizard Nylon Flex Hose For Boom and Rocker Panel

    The "thermoplastic " hose can have a pressure rating as high as 12,000psi. It is more flexible than the steel reinforced hose and will last longer. It is easier to work with as well.

    It's official, we're screwed

    Wasn't it Newt who said, "Drill here, drill now, pay less" What part of that does Obama and the dems not get...or do not want to get. This whole topic makes me crazy. Makes me just want to go to Washington and slap the sh*# out of someone.

    Fautura Problem

    There are a number of things that can cause this. Most commonly, it is a solenoid coil going bad. There are a few solenoid valves in play here. At the end of the vehicle, the arch is trying to switch to the rear spray bars, and going into drive forward. Both controlled by solenoid valves.This is...

    Specialty is having financial problems as are a lot of other manufacturers. I know they are still building machines, but are on a skeleton crew. Hopefully, things will turn around soon.

    Bending Stainless Steel Tubing

    Bending Stainless Steel Tubing

    I get all my stainless tubing and fittings from a company called PAC Stainless. I think they have outlets all over the country.
