Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 2006Friday fuel line, saturday furnace
Another look into my life. As if I'm not busy enough trying to get my 87 dodge van running. ======================= A couple weeks ago, a firned of mine had a kitten which fell into the heater duct. She called the fire department, who came out and took the duct apart. And left it in pieces. I got to put it back together. Fortuately, I do some heating work, and had all the tools needed. Well, she called again. Thinks a different cat went downt he duct (from second floor bathroom, no less). I'm out the door to rescue the cat. ths time without fail we screw some covers over the duct, to cover the vent. Or maybe staple some screen or something like that. ====================== Figuring this was another one of the same, I took apart the same duct I'd put back together the last time. No signs of cat, in the seven inch round duct. I followed that back to the furnace, there was a patch piece of metal over where there used to be a humidifier. So, I started to take that apart. I looked in as best possible, no cat. Went out to the truck and got my miror, and used that to look into the heat exchanger, and back through the duct. No cat. Gwen asked if the cat might be in the heater. Not likely, but I did pull the cover panel off. No cat by the burners. I pulled the lower panel, which exposed the circuit board, and the blower fan. Look in with my mini mag, and surprise! Cat looking back at me.... and blast, I didn't have my camera with me. That was a total Kodak moment. I talked to the cat for a moment, and Gwen came over. She was pleased the cat was still alive. She reached in, and pulled the cat out. They went upstairs to get the cat a drink of water, and some to eat. I put the furnace covers back on, and also the duct back together. I'd brought some screen wire to staple over the vents. And screwed shut a part of the vent that was open, in the back. Hope not to do this again. > Another look into my life. As if I'm not busy enough trying to get my > 87 dodge van running. <snip> Moral of the story, Cats do make good targets!! Denny don't say that.

I don't know how hard it is to fix, but it has taken forever to get to the point of fixing it. I've been out of work since mid September. Went to pt two and three times a week since then to no avail. Now 3 months after the injury they decide, well, yup, ya need surgery. WTF didn't they do the scan in September?? It is so mf'ing frustrating, I can walk, go anywhere but when I get to wherever I'm going I can't do a friggin thing, the shoulder and arm are about useless. Heck, I can't go to the range to shoot, So, I clean the guns a lot. Had to have friends do every repair on the house, Sue cut's the grass, rakes the yard. Hell, she put the blade on the truck. I've had a investigator sneaking around to make sure I'm not fakeing a injury, what a friggin'pia. Friday the doc say's okay "you have a problem in that shoulder". No sh.t?? What a big friggin' surprise!! Can't schedule you for a operation until the 19th of Dec. Then you have to do pt for a couple of months. Full recovery about 2+1/2 to 3+ months. So long about March-April I should be able to go back to work. Unreal! > roy, you in for this? At this point I'm in for anything.<G> >>>Remidns me of my last dentist. >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > At this point I'm in for anything.<G> Welcome to my world Roy. I feel for ya buddy. I really really hope the surgery helps you. But the 8 that I've had only made things worse. Mine was an on the job injury too. And what is annoying as hell is how long it takes to get anything done. Just like you are finding out. Mine was a career ending injury. I was a 19 year veteran police officer. Forced to take disability retirement 6 months before normal retirement at 20 years. It sucks royally. I lost my 01 Ram in the process from lost income. But hey this isn't about me. I am pulling for ya. But I'm still trying to warn ya. Don't get your hopes up too high. I still hurt like hell everyday. If there's one thing I've learned in all this is that the doctors really don't know crap. Bob >>>>Remidns me of my last dentist. >>> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Bob disability income in govt service sux. people think that it is some sort of a gold mine but the reality is that is isn't. it hurts. hope it is working out for you now and everything is going ok. >>>>>Remidns me of my last dentist. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > disability income in govt service sux. people think that it is some > sort of a gold mine but the reality is that is isn't. it hurts.

Unreal! those nagging type of injuries are the worst. my left shoulder flares up. hurts like heck. last year it flared up and my whole shoulder ended up locked up. could hardly move it and the pain went on for months. they tried pt. had three shots in the joint, which was the max they would put in. they decided that they could try surgery, in my case it is a matter of shaving the end of the bones in the joint off to make more room in the joint. the dr. was not at all optimistic but i found another guy who had it done and it worked for him. but in the end, i decided out of the surgery and i just streteched it out every day for a couple of months. its better now but i worry about the next time it does it. >> roy, you in for this? > >At this point I'm in for anything.<G> not sure which grin is on your face but i think i may have to refer you to your wife for that one. >>>>Remidns me of my last dentist. >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > i may have to try that <vbg> I had to beg. Actually Sue is pretty cool with stuff like that. Isn't timid about trying anything as longs as it is explained to her. Although today the leaf blower stopped and she want's to know what is wrong.

It has been a rough week here, so I figure any smile is an improvement. Here's one <GBHMFG> I replaced the plenum gasket today.... took me 6 hours more or less. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS, would I have considered this to be the reason my engine was knocking and using excessive oil.. Im gonna be curious now to see where my oil usage goes.. Its gotta improve if I was DRINKING enough oil to make the engine knock. Again, THANKS.. earl > NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS, would I have considered this to be the > reason my engine was knocking and using excessive oil.. Was the intake nice and oily inside? Did you clean it out? You should follow up with a couple applications of Mopar combustion chamber cleaner, to get rid of the oil deposits in the combustion chambers. Then, once that's done, put in a new set of plugs (the cc cleaning process tends to foul the plugs). The inside of the Intake was A HUGE MESS.. I cleaned it a lot... not perfect, but its 95% cleaner than it was. Earl >> NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS, would I have considered this to be the >> reason my engine was knocking and using excessive oil.. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >once that's done, put in a new set of plugs (the cc cleaning process tends >to foul the plugs). Listen, you miserable idiot. We have plenty to argue about. Heck, I wouldn't argue with you if you were the last wrench puller on Earth. I mean, that was totally pathetic. Why don't you find something useful to do, instead of looking for an argument?

It might be a challenge as well considering this was the second time for the cat in the duct act. Could always get dogs and get rid of the cats. Joe >Another look into my life.
