Less Exciting Steering

[Dan Hiebert]

Well, got the steering sector shaft in from AM Obsolete (formerly Mitchell Motor Parts). A little long in the wait, but I figure they're not as used to the snow down in Georgia like we'uns here in New York. Just as described, so I'd recommend them. Now comes the fun part, regardless of how much insulation I have in that garage, it doesn't make much difference in this -10 weather, I'm generally happy to keep the garage above 40 or so when its this cold. At least it'll warm up to near freezing over the next couple days (you guys down southwest can quit laughing any time now ). Looking forward to getting this installed and getting the Dodge out on the road come spring - with a little less excitement in keeping it between the ditches. I'm just going to do a straight forward parts replacement (followed by an alignment), but if anyone has any tips or has had any pot-holes to avoid, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Dan turn up the heat, in the garage, at minus 30, I can get mine to 55-60 no problem.

The only problem is the heat is at mid height toward the ceiling.

Now, while working on the shop floor, if you can , get your heat source down low, and a ceiling fan helps to keep it circulating.

The next item, is a sheet of SM styro insulation board, put this on the cement and lie on this, you will be a whole lot warmer , than laying on concrete, or cardboard on concrete.....
