Re: picture of my toughdog shock which let go

Had a Pro Comp shock go the exact same way while on the tele track, welded it back up at camp the next day and it lasted the rest of the trip. Pro comp changed it over under warranty when i got back to brissy no questions asked, never had the same problem again on any others.

Re: Cordless Impact Wrench's

Panasonic, used them for years with no dramas at all. Plus they will always have the best battery on the market as they make the batteries for most of their opposition. But i guess as with most things you get what you pay for so if you spend cheap you will probably get cheap.

i also think that you would be inviting trouble as far as the spade connections go, unless you were to solder the cat5 conductor onto the relay flag i dont believe you would be able to achieve a trouble free connection with a crimp.

The Heat exchange goes parallel to the in and out hoses of the heater. Try the Helidon heat exchange website, their prices are that good you might not other to do it yourself. I have one and they are fantastic.
