You know, sometimes life sucks. I go to sleep and either an ant wakes my butt up at 3:00 am biting my groin, or I wake up to see a whole mass feeding on my bleeding feet!!!!!!
IDKY I'm getting eaten up by ants!

So you need a new ignition coil, might be lucky and find a new one. However, Tecumseh has been out of business for 10 years now.

The best ant poison for lawns we've found is the Spectracide stuff, and for indoors, just put a little Hot Shot bait trap with a drop of honey on top.
Presto! No ants! Oh wait, these options are probably too expensive for Poboy!! ![]()

I have Zevo, and spray my feet when I catch them being swarmed. It still sucks, my feet are bloody. My feet are one step away from needing to be amputated (maybe)..
I have some good comprehension socks, but there's a problem. Ummm...these are Copper Fit,, and supposedly easy on, easy off. The problem is this; I have size 12 feet. Now, that's NORMALLY . With the edema, my right foot is about a size 13, and my left a 14. So, mens large are 10-12, so, these:"easy on, easy off " compression socks don't exactly slip on and off easily . I also have Revitive, but it seems like it's going to take a while to work. I also have compression boots on the way.

Holy crap man.... Really sorry to hear that......
The SDS say not to have skin contact... especially in cuts or bleeding... https://images.homedepot-static.com/...a1914bca0f.pdf Seriously try the borax/sugar mix.... Mix 1/2 C sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp Borax, and 1.5 C warm water. Soak cotton balls in the mixture, and put them out near the mess of ants. The sugar attracts the ants, and they'll take the Borax with it back to their home.

Got some decent news today, since I'm the only one at the dealership doing new car inspections, I can now finally have over time again. Only reason that I can is, I have about 40+ cars to do and I'm busting out about 10 or so in my 8 hour shift. Granted that also depends if I have to remove tires from a Jeep Cherokee (had 2 so far this week, brings me to 10...no prize yet lol), or if I have a DTC (Diagnostic trouble code) that is active and won't go away and I'm stumped as to what to do.
Yesterday I got pulled to the side by one of the car delivery truck drivers, because Chrysler has been charging them $300 per tire that I've had to change out. Now from the information I have now, it's just myself that has been finding these tires that are damaged. No other dealership in Minnesota, Iowa, North/South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, and other parts of Nebraska have found any damaged tire. The vast majority of our vehicles are transported by one company, very few co.e from a different one. I was able to inspect the car transport trailer and did not find any sharp burrs on any of the ramps. I asked about the train cars and those have a flat surface and they use a locking wheel chock that holds the tires in place and lock into the train car. There is nothing in the rail yard that can damage the tires like I have been seeing. So this tells me several things: 1. I'm the only one it seems to be doing my job at finding damaged tires/or others are finding them but they feel like it's not a big deal. 2. The damage is a similar spot on every tire, shallowish cut 6"-8" long, 1/16"-1/8" deep, it's either above the Continental name or ProContact. So either we're the only ones that care or care too much about it. It also appears that it's happening either at the tire factory or at the Jeep plant.

So the funny thing is that the dealership will not tell you is, there is no warranty on any Hellcat or Demon powertrain at all. Yes it is built like that from the factory (Hellcat and Demon engines are all hand built), but they do not warranty any of it. Unless there is something truly wrong that is a manufacturing defect, you're pretty much S.O.L and even then it's a crapshoot.
A lot of the fit and finish on FCA vehicles really isn't that great. I've had 2 vehicles that probably should have the driver side window switch set be replaced, because the switches did not sit flush with each other well. One of them sat maybe a 1/16 of an inch higher than the other...it was quite noticeable if you slid your fingers over them. But, my dealership didn't want to warranty them out because, they'll wait for a customer to complain about it. I wasn't even allowed to make a note of it on the checklist. If anyone is thinking about working at a dealership as a technician, don't! It just isn't worth it. If you like working on cars, get ASE certified and work at an independent shop. You'll probably get paid better and get treated better. That's just my biased $0.02.

![]() An electric Camero ![]() I tow a lot of FCA vehicles (for various reason) ![]() I got a question for ya: (maybe you can find out for me) I have run into issues when towing some of the newer Dodge/Chrysler vehicles. The ones with the rotary transmission selector. If the vehicle is not running & you shift it into neutral (to roll it onto the flat bed) it shifts itself back into park, automatically (everytime) ![]() …& they don't have a "mechanical" lever on the side anymore (that you can just disconnect & manually shift the trans into neutral) ...they are totally electronic, now ![]() Is there some kinda "towing bypass" switch or procedure? ...to move one of these type vehicles, when they don't run?
