A magnet for a ground? WTF? Don't welders come with the ground clamp? Or are you talking about something else?

And yes Hoochie, I'll be there.

Thinking about using one on the new unit. Anyone know of any pros or cons?


It ain't gonna work too well if you are trying to weld aluminum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

BR&W, Yes, it does, However, I have done some welding where a clamp just wouldn't work well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] because the clamp was a PITA to attach close to the weld.

After reading Creator's reply, I'm going to stay witht he clamp. Didin't thnk about aluminum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] And that is one metal I plan on "TRYING" to weld[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks MD

well i wasted 3 hours watching the Czechs play a boring defensive style of clutch, hold and grab hockey. in the end, a horrible Swede ref and stifflingly boring brand of hockey cost Canada a 2-0 loss for the gold. give the commies credit tho, they played their game plan to perfection, and we didn't have one good scoring chance in 60 minutes. we never sent our best players either, they all had "excuses" (=greed??) why they didn't wanna play in the world championships in Austria. what's really frustrating about these eastern-Euro trashes is they play stellar hockey for the world championships and Olympics. THEN, they use those performances as a springboard to get multi-million-dollar contracts to play professionally in the NHL, then proceed to sulk, whine and play like baby-girl malcontents at the expense of the owner who doled out the large cash. seriously, you see 2 totally different players in the same guy.

okay, so i rigged up a nifty cargo trunk for the quad. a Delta tool box designed to be removable with a quick dis-connect system. water-tight and locking top. but it kinda takes away the doubling capacity now. tons of storage tho.

AND FINALLY... A REAL PSD QUESTION!!!! anyone have any performance issues with their chip? I've stalled or sputtered about 4 times in 2 months. power just kinda cuts out or sputters, check engine icon lights up on the dash. i stop, re-start, and it's fine. doesn't happen again for awhile. NOW, i could remove chip to see if that's the cause ( and i will eventually). in the meantime, i'm pulling BIG load and hills in 3 days and want the extra 60HP, so i didn't wanna take chip out beofre that.

my Ford mechanic said they did have some cam sensor issues with this engine, but to remove chip and see if i notice a change.

Get two bottles of gas. One a mix and one straight argon for the alum. Make sure you get different tips and wire too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

LJ, you have some spare tires that look like they will work pretty good in the sand. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The problem is you wasted your time watching hockey in general.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'm kind of a history channel person myself. However, not that I have time to watch anything anymore. This "New /Old" House is about ready to make me start smoking dope again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'm currently working on 9 rooms at the same time (with more to come). Not to mention the master bathroom that I'm remodeling.

Sounds like you have quite the ATV tool box. I have bags on mine, but I need to get something that will keep out water and dust.

And no, I'm not much help on the chip problem. I want to sell my truck and upgrade...maybe then I will invest in a chip.

Confused, remember awhile back , when I posted my brother was having problems[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] with his PSD after he added the Attitude? Sounds jus tlike the problems you are having. Anyways, his was determined to be one of the computers on the PSD. He's going to check exactly which one and get back to me. I'll post it when he calls.
Isn't it amazing how these over paid atheletes, whine and cry over how the owners are. When, THEY need to look and see, that THEY are also PART of the PROBLEM[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Wish I was good enough to make millions doing what I love[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] It's in all of sports[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Just not your beloved hockey[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
