Its not, just thought he would answer in his own words given he welds as a proffesion No I do not!!!

Congrads bro!!!!!!

Seems as it is always a big deal..Sometimes I think of myself as the SSA whipping boy

That was easier than typing that shit

Lol I noticed that when I read it... a direct paste from Wikipedia. Yes it was....

Really? you are in school for this? Oxygen is used in small amounts as an addition to other gases; typically as 2–5% addition to argon. It enhances arc stability and reduces the surface tension of the molten metal, increasing wetting of the solid metal. It is used for spray transfer welding of mild carbon steels, low alloy and stainless steels. Its presence increases the amount of slag. Argon-oxygen (Ar-O2) blends are often being replaced with argon-carbon dioxide ones. Argon-carbon dioxide-oxygen blends are also used. Oxygen causes oxidation of the weld, so it is not suitable for welding aluminium, magnesium, copper, and some exotic metals. Increased oxygen makes the shielding gas oxidize the electrode, which can lead to porosity in the deposit if the electrode does not contain sufficient deoxidizers. Excessive oxygen, especially when used in application for which it is not prescribed, can lead to brittleness in the heat affected zone. Argon-oxygen blends with 1–2% oxygen are used for austenitic stainless steel where argon-CO2 can not be used due to required low content of carbon in the weld; the weld has a tough oxide coating and may require cleaning. Hydrogen is used for welding of nickel and some stainless steels, especially thicker pieces. It improves the molten metal fluidity, and enhances cleanness of the surface. It can however cause hydrogen embrittlement of many alloys and especially carbon steel, so its application is usually limited only to some stainless steels. It is added to argon in amounts typically under 10%. It can be added to argon-carbon dioxide blends to counteract the oxidizing effects of carbon dioxide. Its addition narrows the arc and increases the arc temperature, leading to better weld penetration. In higher concentrations (up to 25% hydrogen), it may be used for welding conductive materials such as copper. However, it should not be used on steel, aluminum or magnesium because it can cause porosity and hydrogen embrittlement.

Who's doing the work on the car? Make sure before you throw money at the car that it is indeed a bad unit. For example on my truck the speed sensors always show 3mph since they require voltage to operate and never get to 0mph on the tech2 scanner. To the untrained eye seeing 3mph sitting still would be a huge red flag but in this case it's normal. ABS light can also mean bad wheel bearing so I would jack the vehicle up and grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and rock the wheel to see if there's movement. It only takes a little wobble to make the ABS sensor lose signal and even a millisecond of lost signal will trigger the ABS light/code.I'll be doing any work on the vehicle.Oh shit your fucked.1. You're2. Some probably know more about cars than you do In college, know a descent amount about welding Tig,Mig,flux core, and stick...automotive is next semester, not because I plan to be an auto tech, but just because I want to be able to work on my own stuffWhat settings and wire,gas mix ect... on a bobcat would you do if you was welding carbon steel that was 3mm in thickness? Say a pass that was over 100mm in length..I have never welded with a bobcat welder before although my friend has one.. For Tig in the welding class we use straight aargon, for mig there are a few different machines 100% co2, a couple with aargon co2 mixture and a couple machines that have pulse mig settings. I have welded with all, but Back to your question on the Mig machines with 100% co2 I would run it around 19.5 volts and wire speed around 220-240 since the metal is thin either that or you could crank the volts up to around 20-22 but that would mean increasing the travel speed drastically if not youd burna hole it through...My first class welding I burnt a wholes through a good amount of 8th inch thick T-joint doing vertical up 60% argon 40% co2 with the bobcat would be fine..I hate the fuckin wire feeders!!!But 5.5 and 220 on the wire speed on .45 stainless steel mix

I was joking, you said you will be doing any work on the vehicle...so I said oh shit your fucked lol3. You're4. you areVery good Mikey, you want a cookie? Better yet you probably want an ice cold beer, if you aren't already intoxicated. I am fucked up...You already know but I will still take a cold one!So you're fucked up and tore the top half of your motor apart and put it back together? So your one of those alcoholics that can work when drunk huh? The alcohol stirs up the receptors in the brain and triggers my smarts...Trumps the dopamine glands by far and lets me release my expertise in many fields..

Tore the top half of the motor down and cleaned the throttle body and intake and re-assembled in less than 45 min..

Happy B-day man!

You know Elton John and Boy George... Actually I don't, why don't you tell us about them You sent me a concert T-shirt from sausage fest 2014

You know Elton John and Boy George...

Care to bet it is not aluminum "VIA" paypal.....

Lol....I know my metal.... Melting points to molecular structure brother

LOL...$40.00 sun visor delete kit...Brushed billet aluminum ">http://http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/mikel7829/media/20150603_144702_zpskn4xchvr.jpg.html'>

Congrads man!! And be careful over there.

I got some serious stomach cramps going on!

How is the Kno Knoise? Is that Kolossus or resonance control? Resonance control. I've never installed other deadener so I can't do any kind of comparison, but this stuff was very easy to use and pretty thick. I don't have any speakers hooked up yet but from the knuckle test on the panels it sounds much better. I foam filled the voids on the back wall so it gives a nice thud instead of a symbol crash... Here's a progress pic from Saturday Not bad.
