Put the ring gear in front of the heater; lay the diff outside - when time comes, the ring gear will drop right on that diff!!! Stay warm....

thanks for the tip michael. that will come in handy very soon.

got my spark plugs and wires in, started her up, and she purrz like a kitten and growls like a lion again. spark plugs didn't look too bad so it was definatly that darn wire. i didn't get a chance to check out the ect yet, but that's on my agenda. probably not tonight though. right now i have my garage all wired up, but i don't have my underground cable run yet so i have to plug it in with a couple of orange extension cords. snow's coming down pretty hard and i don't like to leave the cord out in this weather. do you think it hurts anything? if i would seal up the connection of the plugs?

i know a bit about DC stuff, and dont mind playing since its fairly innocuous. but when it comes to playing with stuff on the house, i dont play games. i would not worry too much if you have a GFI on the outlet/circuit. if not, i would not leave the cord plugged in while the weather is poor. i dont want to read about you from a news link in the outhouse. J/K. just my anal thinking. good luck and glad stangie is up and purring.

HISSIN50, yup, i'm not one that likes to take chances with electricity. can be very dangerous. if i know exactly what i want to do, i'll do it, but if i'm unsure i get help or leave it be.

PS: your definatly appreciated around here too.

Mark, go to Walmart and in the heater section get the additive that helps with the fumes with Kerosine, I have a 110,000 BTU model and use it and it doesn't stink at all! Well worth the $3....

As for the ring gear Micheal is right sit it front of the heater and get it hot and it will slide right on the cold rear.
