A Guide to Fishsticks

[Ichabod Crane]

Spent the day replacing my water pump, thermostat, tensioner pully and some kind of necked thing on my truck. I also removed the alternator and ordered another one. Then had to get my wife's car checked out. It needs some kind of throttle sensor that is $343 plus labor.

I am still under the cost of one of Uncs back tires with a cassette. But neither my truck or her car sounds like angry hornets. Kind of a bummer but he they are gas guzzlers not bikes.

It was the piece that goes over the thermostat and was $4 with gasket. The water pump was a rebuild pump and with seal was $14. The tensioner pully assembly and belt was $90. The thermostat was $5. The alternator is $54. I got them all at Rock Auto with shipping costing another $28. But that is with other parts I will use latter.

I also ordered a upper and lower radiator hose with the alternator for $29 for both. Shipping was added to the alternator and the throttle body piece I ordered for my wife's car. Shipping for those parts was I think $35. But that includes some wipers for my two trucks and the wife's car also.

Nope was wrong the shipping was $26 not $35. And the order included a crank case filter and throttle body gasket. as well.

mornin campers...sounds like you're using a lot of cheap junk parts on your car...i bet they aren't even purple! heck,there's single bolts on my bikes that cost 45 bucks! probably not a single grossly overpriced titanium widget anywhere!
more errands to run today,and some up-pots to deal with when i get back from the grow store...and about an oz or so of trimming left to do...

Well since most car parts are made in China you are probably right.

What is that like $65 then? You are a cheap ride then. Put a little more effort in like I do and you can make thousands. But no bike and you need to run a roofing gun. Okay a lot more effort. I mean a lot more. But no thorns.
