Behold!!!

[RayLCC]

The Mighty Dana 12 in all its glory!

A full four inch ring gear, cut from solid plastic billet.
Solid, TEN spline, 6MM thick axles made from a composite of recycled chinese toothpicks and hardened strips of Velveta cheese.

Able to handle the massive torque generated by up to two hamsters on a wheel at once!*

Yup. Its an engeneering marvel. :)












*: Non-professional hamsters on a wheel not to exceed 5 inches in diameter or axle breakage may occur.

So tell me Ray, where did you find a jack that was "just right" for that chunk???

LOL! Harbor Freight, of course! Those chinese sure know how to make a quality product... Give or take a quality. ;)

That looks just like the jack I bought more than 20 years ago from Car Quest. I am surprised you found it at harbor freight. There are some nice light weight jacks at the HF in aurora. I almost bought one the last visit.

They actually aren't all that bad. The one we have just isn't all that trustworthy in my opinion. You can jack up a car and set the jack stand up slightly lower than the frame and then listen as the jack clicks and clunks. Turns out that with each click and clunk it is lowering just a tad and eventually will have the frame resting on the jack stand. Thats just a little scary in my opinion. Maybe all jacks do it and I just noticed it on this one. all in all though, it works pretty well.

You do realize that Jack was telling you to do what you are supposed to and let it down on the jack stands right? I wouldn't trust the best jack in the world to hold a vehicle up when I am under it. Sometimes I don't even trust jack stands neither.
