About a week ago I listened to talk given by Mark Koernke: https://youtu.be/sVrecoDzgZY?t=3555 whether or not we agree with the rest of his beliefs he does bring up some very good points. Vehicles that require integrated electronics to operate, (not just operate more efficiently) are susceptible to Electromagnetic Pulse damage. Furthermore, since it is difficult to view the circuitry inside integrated devices, we cannot easily detect whether or not radio transmission or reception circuitry has been built into the devices themselves. This opens up the possibility of using this radio circuitry to control the engine, so it may be possible to shut down the engine remotely. For anyone trying to build a "bug out" van or a "stealth van" this is a serious security issue. A "bug out" van or "stealth van" is not too useful if the integrated electronics that control the ignition, fuel injection, and/or fuel pump are damaged or shut down remotely. No...
Now that we have access to some of the best inexpensive, effective, and quick vehicle repair methods, we need tools in order to actually use the knowledge. First we need a set of wrenches, sockets, and ratchets. The least expensive stores to buy these items are as follows: Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/browse/hand-wrenches/wrench-sets/1072864_1031899_1067609_5163607_6564002 and Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools.html At minimum one would need either the SAE or Metric 11 piece Wrench set from Walmart and a socket set, with ratchet, like the Hyper Tough UN00020Z 54 Piece, 3/8 Inch Drive Socket Set also from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-UN00020Z-54-Piece-3-8-Inch-Drive-Socket-Set/16539503 A set of screwdrivers and hex keys would also be useful. Both Walmart and Harbor Freight sell what they call "Mechanics Tool Sets". These sets contain most of the tools most people would need to perform most car repairs: Walmart:...
Here is an incredibly fast and inexpensive way to remove rust without using abrasive materials, hot tanks, or specialized rust removers: https://youtu.be/N3T61g1mjfU Muriatic Acid (aka Hydrochloric Acid) is quite inexpensive: https://www.google.com/search?q=muriatic+acid&biw=1600&bih=1036&tbm=shop It can also be found at local hardware stores: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-gal-Green-Muriatic-Acid-GKGM75006/202690263 (It isn't "standard" muriatic acid, so it may not be as effective as the Acid in the video) Acids react quite well with most metals, any HCl residue left on clean metal will continue to react. So it is necessary to rinse the clean metal with a strong Chemical base to neutralize the acid, like vinegar, lye, or baking soda dissolved in water. It may be desirable to dilute the Hydrochloric Acid with water before using it to remove rust. This would create less fumes, it would be safer for the person using the acid (just in...
