Re: Cheap Tricks

1st off ... I'm new here and this forum is awesome . There is so much knowledge and wisdom in the people here .That are willing to share their expertise and experiences . I just want to thank you all first and foremost for your input , so Thank you all

If someone has not already posted here are a few of my fave tricks

Egg whites in a leaking radiator will stop the leak within a few minutes when added to the radiator with engine running and at temp . ( careful opening that radiator cap with engine at temp)

Cordless drill battery can be used to jump start vehicle if in a bind (if the cordless batteries are charged and of 12 volt or more ) I make some jumpers to go either to battery itself or thru the cig lighter . 1 or 2 min connected 1 min off 1 or 2 min connected and then try to start ,all the while making sure your jumpers are not getting too hot . I have used this a few times in a pinch

Thanks again for sharing the knowledge and have a great one

Peace
Gravity
