Warming up your car or truck.

 Take a look at the picture of engine parts above,think of all those parts and pieces moving together without the chance to properly warm up.

Ya I know its been a few days since I've posted anything. Sometimes things get done a little slower when it hits -30 outside. Speaking of which,I was having a conversation at the office recently and the subject of warming up your engine came up. It seams to me that they're are a few so called "experts" out there that continue to say you only need to warm up your engine for 30 seconds then you can drive. Let me ask you something. Do you remember when you got into gym class in school and your gym teacher had you warm up to loosen up your muscles and joints prior to exercising? Wouldn't it stand to reason that any moving parts regardless of what it is..your body,heavy machinery,your vehicle's engine, would need the same?

  These experts are counting on you trusting them at their word. The most wear takes place inside the first 2 minutes that your engine is running. When its minus 30 outside internal engine parts are actually smaller than when they are at operating temperature. Before you start your car the inside of your engine`s cylinders is the same ambient temperature as it is outside. Then when the car starts,there is an air fuel mixture that causes internal combustion increases that temperature extremely fast. Now think of what happens when you put a load on that engine without giving anytime to allow the internal engine parts to expand. Would you walk into a gym and dead lift 600 lbs without warming up your muscles and joints first? If you are going to do that then be prepared to live with the results. Same goes for your engine. You'll drastically reduce the life and dependability of your car or truck.

  It boils down to this,let your vehicle warm up to whatever the normal operating temperature is for that vehicle. If you don't know what that is,then either check the gauge after you've driven the vehicle for a half hour or so or err on the side of caution and give it 15-20 minutes of warm up time. Of course there's no point in letting your vehicle idle for no reason and there are people that may complain about how long you let your vehicle warm up. Think of it this way, when their vehicle is broken down or they need to pay a costly repair bill because of premature wear and tear of their vehicle you can trust the fact that you are taking steps to insure you get the most out of your vehicles engine by taking proper care of it.

The Distracted Driving Blitz.

Lets face it,it had to come to a head sooner or later. We see it everywhere and probably even done it too. I know I have. You pull up to an intersection behind someone and it takes them a bit to figure out the light turned green. You hit the horn and you see the head pop up and then the car starts rolling. As you're driving past you see the person staring more at their phone then they are at the road. And you probably think to yourself  "Get off the damn phone". In the meant time your phone goes off and you think nothing of checking it. I've even done it myself recently. My better half,who just happens to be a peace officer said "It can wait" from the passenger side of the truck. And you know what? It really wasn't that important that I answer it anyways.

  There are far too many people behind the wheel that think they can do what ever they want without thinkin g about what problems it can cause other drivers or pedestrians. Seeing people put make up on or reading while they drive really brings this to mind. If your travelling at 60 mph (about 100 kph) then you are travelling 88 feet per second. It takes a third of a second to react to a stimulus. In that third of a second you've travelled almost 30 feet before you even touch the brakes. Then you have lag time,which is the time it takes for the brakes to fully apply. This is more than enough time to run into something or someone before you even know it. You may have gotten away with driving with these habits for years but,truth is the odds are going to catch up to you and when they do,they'll more than make up for the time you got away with it. So why even take the chance? Its gotten to the point that over 75% of accidents involve distracted driving. Why do you think the first thing an officer wants to see at the scene of an accident is the cell phones? They want to know if it was a distraction. And no two ways about it,there's NO JUSTIFICATION for it! Never mind that insurance is always going up and it sucks driving by and seeing people hurt. The cost of accidents on a family is not only measured monitarily.

Your Signal Lights

Ya know,it never ceases to amaze me how many people think that signal lights or turn indicators as they are now reffered to more and more are an optional device. These lights are installed on your vehicle to tell other drivers around that you plan on either leaving that particular road or you plan on moving into traffic. Personally,I find it annoying that we as motorists are using these factory installed items less and less. On the other hand there are times when I've even pulled over on Crowchild Trail or Glenmore and double checked to make sure mine were working simply because it seamed to me that no one was seeing them.

 When I used to drive big trucks hauling cattle,most of us did whats called a three flash special,we turned our signal light on for three flashes and we were coming over whether there was someone there or not. People wake up and start paying attention after that believe me. When you see a truck and trailer 75 feet long coming into your lane,you find another place to be when they're going to dis-place your vehicle. I've evn noticed that my attention has a lapse at times. Whether this is due to having a lot on my mind or it just wandering. This is a clear indicator that you should find a safe place to pull over and take a few minutes to yourself,clear your mind and relax. Let the other people on the road do what they do. Its up to you to control what you do and how you react to the road and its conditions.

Common sense is a myth,that statement in itself suggests that we all hade the same teacher giving us all the same instruction. See where this is going? When we drive,all of us have different habits and ways we deal with stresses of the road. We all have different levels of skill and experience behind the wheel. Let me be clear,there is NO substitute for experience. I can look back and say with full confidence I would handle different driving conditions with different reactions certain times of my life. Sending your teenager to a driving school or enrolling them in a course through their high school is one of the smartest things you could do for them. Sure it may cost a few bucks its still cheaper than what an accident would cost due to not having the driving skills. One of the first things you could suggest to your kid it to ask them to pay attention to how you do things behind the wheel,you may be suprised to note just how many bad habits you have. Think about that when your are passing down your experience to your child.

Winter Tires

Want to save some money on tires and have them last longer? Have a set for the winter and for the summer. I've been practicing this for years. I have a set of winter rubber and a set of summer rubber mounted on their own rims for each of my trucks. And I've noticed this practice more and more. The different compounds of each type of rubber makes each ideal for their designed intent. Winter tires have a softer compound that adhear to the road better in cold weather. Summer radials are a harder compound and allow for better traction when it's warmer. Driving on winter tires during the summer can wear them out n a matter of weeks.

  All season radials are advertised to be the perfect tire for all seasons. Just like most "advertising",its a load of crap. Sure there's the initial cash outlay for an extra set of rims and winter tires however,think of it this way. You'll get 2 to 3 seasons out of each set of tires if you maintain them properly. As opposed to buying a set of tires every year or year and a half. You don't need to have top of the line rims for winter driving either. A simple set from Canadian tire for $25-$40 each will do the trick. My winter rubber is put on the truck by the 3 weekend in October,sooner if it's snowed already. Summer rubber is on by the second week in April,longer if there's still snow on the ground.

  Don't be afraid to toss some weight in the back either, my street truck has 400 lbs of weight in a built box that sits right over to rear axle. I loose a 30 inch by 60 inch area 6 inches high out of my box for 5 1/2 months out of the year but,I get traction and I get to drive safely on whatever highway I'm on. My work truck is 4x4 and has more than enough weight with the racks and the tools and equipment I carry to do the trick.

  Sand bags can be a pain but,I've got the same sand I bought 2 years ago. Just buy yourself some plastic weaved bags and transfer the sand. I do this because that last time I bough sand bags it cost me $8 a bag. Now I just buy loose bags for a buck each and dump the sand in them. when the bag starts to fall apart. That doesn't mean that you can't buy new filled bags every year I'm simply saying that for a few minutes of your time you can save yourself a few bucks.

  Remember, read the information in the side of your tires,know what the proper inflation is and keep it as close to that as possible. That way you'll get optimum use and performance out of your tire and more importantly,it will maintain fuel economy.

Driving in the Snow

Ok, now that we are firmly entrenched in winter and we`ve pretty much gone through the `Holy shit,the roads are slick" we can settle in for the long haul and always be ready for driving in the snow. Yesterday my GF saw that I was putting long underwear. When she mentioned something about it I simply told her I dress for the weather and not for the vehicle. Now growing up during a time before cell phones and roadside emergency phones and so on I made it point to always be prepared when it's -21 with a wind chill of -25 or 30 like it is today. Let me tell you,its no picnic to be stuck on the side of the road and freezing while your waiting for a tow truck. So a couple things I always made sure I have right handy are,

• a set of winter boots,
• a blanket
• 1 gallon metal can of some sort
• decent sized candle
• a good supply of matches or decent lighter 
• gasline antifreeze or Methyl hydrate
• jumper or booster cables
• winter work gloves

These are all things I have on top of what ever emergence tools I keep in the truck's tool box.

 

Being prepared

  Personally I believe that we should be taking the initiative when it comes time for our kids to learn how to drive. My youngest brother didn't have the benefit of either myself or my eldest brother around to inform him of some of the things you can run into during the winter. Fortunately for him, he grew up under the same circumstances we did so he was fully receptive to a little "cover your ass" information. Even though he drives an all wheel drive Subaru that's in top condition he also carries with him a full compliment of roadside emergency gear all the time. As well as the fact that he is fully dressed for winter even though he's driving. It took my daughter once of not listening to my advice about how quickly it gets cold when the truck isn't running. And by no means should we have to make sure our teenaged kids are dressed all the time, they're teenagers so by this stage of the game they should be well aware of what they are going to need during a road trip whether it's 30 degrees out or -30.

Communication

In this day and age we also tend to think that we're always in constant communication. There are spots however that are basically "black holes" out in the middle of nowhere. These are areas where your cell phone doesn't have service. If you find yourself parked in the ditch because of icy road conditions then having a few emergency items like those mentioned above can and will save your life. To be on the safe side,make sure you let someone know you are leaving and let someone know you are on your way when its -30 outside.

Powder Coating

What is Powder Coating?

So, you've heard of it, but, you're not quite sure exactly what powder coating is. According to the Powder Coating Institute's web page, "Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish." There, so now you know! Or do you?

Most powder coating guns, 10-30 PSI Powder Coating System apply a negative electrostatic charge to the flour-fine powder (that magical mixture of "pigment and resin"). This charge is high voltage; up to 25,000 volts (100,000 volts on industrial guns), but fortunately very low amperage (the amps are the part of electricity that can really hurt you). Since this powder is made of resins, we know that it falls in the general classification of "plastics". As a member of the plastic family we know that it is a poor conductor of electricity. So once the particle is charged, it gives up that charge very reluctantly. This is what causes the powder to "cling" to the substrate being coated. The negative ions in the particle slowly fight their way to the positively charged substrate. This slow flow of ions from particle to substrate is what holds the particle on the substrate. Putting it another way, think of the positively charged substrate as "sucking" the negative ions out of the particles, causing them to stick.

Why Is Powder Coating Better?

More Durable - Powder coating gives consumers, businesses, and industry one of the most economical, longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality finishes available. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes. Color selection is virtually unlimited with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. Thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, and rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
Protects the Environment - Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment. While liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part can be retrieved and reused. Although this is not always practical for many low-volume users, this can virtually eliminate the waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.
Saves Money - Elimination of VOCs and reduction of wastes saves money and helps companies comply more easily and economically with the regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In fact, one of the major elements in expanding the market for powder coating has been the implementation over the past 30 years of stringent air pollution control legislation.

Where Is Powder Coating Used?

Appliances - The appliance industry benefits from powder coating on front and side panels of ranges and refrigerators, washer tops and lids, dryer drums, air-conditioner cabinets, water heaters, dishwasher racks, and cavities of microwave ovens. Powder coating has also replaced porcelain enamel on many washer and dryer parts.
Architecture/Building - The architectural and building market powder coats aluminum extrusions used on frames for windows and doors and modular furniture. Many highway and building projects use powder coating on light poles, guard rails, signs, posts, and fencing.
Automotive - Henry Ford once said, "You can have a Model-T in any color you want. So long as it's black." For an industry once focused primarily on manufacturers' needs, powder coating is transforming the automotive industry with faster production times and lower operating costs, plus irresistible value propositions for consumers. For years, conventional liquid coatings were the standard for the automotive industry. But these coatings can emit dangerous VOCs at their application stage. Powder coatings eliminate most environmental concerns and the need for costly waste disposal systems. Because powder does not run or drip, the result is a uniform, superior-quality finish. Conversion from liquid to powder clearcoats for auto body exteriors is moving rapidly. Powder topcoats resist acid rain, the sun's ultraviolet rays and road and weather damage, helping cars retain their "showroom look" much longer and improving their resale value. BMW and Volvo are using it on their new model cars, and GM, Ford, and Chrysler have formed a consortium to test this technique on their production lines.

Powder coating has made substantial inroads as a primer for car, van and pickup truck bodies in the United States. Auto body primers in colors will be next.

There is huge market potential for high-heat resistant powder coatings on aftermarket mufflers, which resist corrosion, protect against nicks and prolong the life of the muffler. Some companies are already applying heat-resistant powder to aftermarket mufflers, and the new-car market is thought to be two or three years away. Powder coating is also applied to wheels, grilles, bumpers, door handles, roof racks and exterior and interior trim. "Under the hood" uses include oil and fuel filters, brake pads, engine block casings, suspension components and radiators. Pickup truck and SUV owners can purchase powder coated side steps, bed rails, luggage racks and toolboxes as dealership add-ons or in aftermarket stores and catalogs.

Performance car owners can find powder coated special suspension units, carburetor parts and valve covers, plus flashy rear-view mirror mounts and other exterior adornments.

Everyday Products - There are also innumerable everyday uses for powder coated products such as lighting fixtures, antennas, and electrical components. Farmers have powder coated tractors and farm equipment. Fitness buffs powder coat golf clubs and golf carts, ski poles and bindings, snowmobiles, bicycles, and exercise equipment. Shop owners have powder coated display racks, shelves, store fixtures, and vending machines. Office workers use metal furniture, computer cabinets, mechanical pencils and pens, thumbtacks, and other desk accessories that are powder coated. Parents have powder coated baby strollers, cribs, metal toys, and wagons. And home owners have lawn mowers, snowblowers, barbecue grills, patio furniture, garden tools, electronic components, bathroom scales, tool boxes, and fire extinguishers which benefit from a powder coated finish. The powder coating boom has just begun - expect more exciting uses in the near future.

Panel Replacement

If you are restoring a collector vehicle, you will most likely experience rusted or heavily damaged body panels. Sometimes you can repair the damaged panel, but other times you are better off replacing it. Several factors to help you determine whether or not to replace the panel are:

•Extent of damage
•Availability of replacement panels
•Cost of replacement panels
•Quality of replacement panels
•Difficulty to repair vs. replace
Whether you decide to repair the panel or replace the panel, JWT Automotive has the products you need to get the job done right. In fact, even if replacement panels are not readily available, JWT Automotive has the tools and equipment for you to fabricate your own replacement panels.
From start to finish, JWT Automotive has your needs covered. JWT Automotive carries everything from sheet metal, cut-off wheels, shrinker/stretchers, metal shears, welders, weld-thru primers, body fillers, seam sealers, panel flangers, and more. To install a replacement panel, first, hold up the replacement panel and see how much it will replace. If the damaged panel suffers from rust, you need to make sure you cut out all of the rust. If the replacement panel replaces more then is necessary, trim the replacement panel to replace only what is needed. By doing this, if you ever have to carry out this repair again, you can cut up a little further and get to good metal.
Before you begin to cut out the damaged panel, be sure to make reference marks and take measurements. This will allow you to use these reference marks and measurements to fit up the replacement panel. Once you have your reference marks and measurements, cut out the damaged panel. JWT Automotive's pneumatic cut-off wheel, metal shears, air nibbler, or pneumatic shears work well for cutting out the panel. If you are replacing a full panel, use our spot weld drill bits to drill out the spot welds. Removing the old panel is time consuming and tedious, but to get the best results, you will want to take your time.
Once you have completely cut-out the damaged panel, trial fit the replacement panel. Oftentimes, you will have to trim, bend, and hammer the replacement panel to get it to fit. Our large selection of body hammers and dollies work great for massaging the panel's fit. Make sure to use your measurements and reference marks to properly fit the panel. Now, before the panel is welded into place, would be a good time to apply Rust Encapsulator to those hard to reach areas. Once you are happy with the panel's fit, use axial pliers, intergrips, panel holding system, magnetic welding jigs, rivets, vise grips, or sheet metal screws to hold the panel in place.
Before you start to weld, double check the fit and alignment. Only when you are happy with the fit, begin to tack weld, every few inches, the panel into place. Take your time, and jump between the welds to fill the gaps. You want to make sure that you do not heat up one area, or you could seriously distort the metal. Our Anti-Heat Compound helps to keep heat damage to a minimum.
Once you have the panel completely welded in, use a flap disc on your angle grinder and grind down the welds. Again, do not heat up one area, or you may distort the metal. Once you have the welds ground down, wipe the panel down with PRE. This will remove any contaminants from the surface. Now you can apply seam sealer to the seam, or you can use a body filler to blend in the repair. Metal-to-Metal works well to smooth out the repair, and it also does a good job to seal out the elements from your repair. Once you have seam sealed or blended the repair with filler, you are ready to prime and finish the repair with paint, or undercoating (depending on the repair).
If you do not have a welder, or do not want to risk distorting the metal by welding the repair, JWT Automotive has the solution for you. Click here to read about panel repair using our No-Weld Panel Repair Kit.
