Inlaws have an ADT sign in their yard....

Get some lights, some blinds, real doors, and a dog and you'll be fine. Wait a year to find out what sucks about your house, aka, no insulation, windows are terrible, etc. It'd be a waste to wire a bunch of crap up and then have to redo it when you gut that side of the house to redo it.

Locks keep honest people honest... Personally, I'd be interested in the home automation with the touch of automated security.

Looks like you are going to have to drill the center out, then grind the head off. Since you are going to have to put solid rivets back in, I wouldn't worry about it to much if the hole gets just a bit bigger, you could always size up your rivet.

I LOVE Fastenal bits! I get the Cleveland ones though, not the cheap HSS shit. Parts Master or something like that, they have awesome cryo bits. I used to buy those exclusively, but that was when I wasn't drilling 1" stainless so often. Last one I got, 15/16" I think, shattered on the first hole it ever drilled.

Wow, um, how the hell could you NOT notice that? Hidden under electrical loom and that big ass manifold. Plus of all the busted crap I've worked on, never had a wiring issue on injectors before, some loom going to them, sure they are hooked up, not in this case...

Tapered carbide burr would knock it out too without an issue.

Go slow, good drill bit, 135* split point a normal drill bit will be fine no need for TiNi coatings, cobalt probably isn't needed either. Cutting fluid wouldn't hurt either. Keep the drill bit under ~60 surface feet per minute, (4*60)/dia of bit. Drill bits from most stores suck, Fastenal sucks. McMaster carr has good stuff, normally from Precision twist drill. Shoot me a PM some time...

I am loving my Surface RT tablet too, just really dang handy for what I do.

Its a '94 Ford 5.0L for those curious.

I do feel somewhat stupid that its the wiring that's bad and its taken me this long to track it down. Needless to say it never fails to start and get me from a to b so I haven't looked to hard but it sure will be nice to have a proper running vehicle again.

Figured out why injectors 2 & 3 aren't working on my truck and cause it to run rough at low and mid rpm ranges.... The god damn things aren't even hooked up. No fricking wires to them. I'm actually somewhat impressed now that it runs as well as it does two injectors down. I've just been thinking they were crapped out and stuck open and had to buy new ones, been to lazy to drop the money on something that just runs around town but now that I know the problem I get to pull the intake off and play electrical fixit man.

Pop rivets?

Got talked into going to a local wedding to"crash" it, most lame wedding ever. Same place I had our reception at, but huge change.

Fixed

That has to be a ~1600$ price tag?

The sad part is I seriously can not afford to leave this job.

I've got nothing but wonderful things to say about my insurance through the state, paying big money for the W's meds.

ANY other crab shack would be better. Joe's is horseshit. They can fuck up anything. Never been there, but read great reviews on it. Joe's in Daytona was good, the wife was not with me on that trip.Thanks for the info, but thats where she wants to go ... Suit yourself. I eat out for a living pretty much. Absolutely the worst crab shack I've ever been to. Tried a couple Joe's (not by my choice) with always the same results. Even if you live in bum fuck nowhere there has to be a better choice. Not only do you have to eat out for 80% of your meals, you don't have to expense cheap restaurants either, you can get the good stuff.

Posting from a new Surface RT, aka the new mobile work station.

Gremlin? How much have you drank? Is that Jack learning to type or what?

Still prettier than half the muscle cars people love. :-D You are joking.... right?

Run fast, run far.

I Think car and driver described it as a sheep in wolfs clothing.

I'll guess your basement wall cracked and now letting water in, time to talk to some local contractor folks.
