I’ve always had the damndest time mounting tires on my stock Dodge Challenger wheels. Upgrading to a slightly wider tire for the rear. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting tires w/ stubborn sidewalls at drop center? Even w/ my machine’s arm assist I am struggling. Also, before anyone chimes in w/ “get wider rims”, this has been done before & the tires are not too wide. Thank you.
Have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 that I am pulling the 5.7 from for another project. From the fuse panel there is 1 yellow wire that runs back towards the driver’s side fender; not the engine. Can someone please spare me the time of tracing this wire & let me know what it powers? Thank you!
I determined recently after replacing the pressure switch that my submersible well pump is bad (I had it replaced 16 years ago). I figured that I could replace it myself. I made my own pitless adapter tool & was able to pull up 60' of schedule 80 PVC...that was until the pipe decided to let go at one of the couplings (they used 10' sections). The well company did not attach a safety rope.
With little else to do (besides calling a different well company), I decided to get a sewer line camera. Sure enough, 60' below the top of the well casing was the start of the PVC pipe right at the coupling that decided to separate.
Now I would love to attempt fishing this up again but how? I could send a hook down but what is there to grab on to? I could send the 60' of PVC previously pulled up & attempt gluing it back to the coupling but I don't know how successful that attempt would be.
I would love to hear from anyone who has had luck recovering pipe that is 60' or so below ground level.

I’d prefer to not hear “leave it to a well company” but here goes: I have a deep well (~330’) w/ pump set at approximately 250’. I had these installed 16 years ago right after purchase of the home. Recently my well pump went bad (tripped breaker) so I replaced the pressure switch. Breaker would still trip w/ the new pressure switch however the pump did run for 10 seconds before permanently dying.
So suffice to say the pump was bad. I made a pit less adapter tool & combined w/ some chain vise grips was able to pull up some 60’ of pipe. That was until the schedule 80 pipe decided to separate right at a coupling sending the pipe & pump down the well again. I’m surprised that 16 years ago the company I hired didn’t just use 1 extremely long length of pipe rather than splice over 20 10’ lengths together. Oh well!
As you can see from the picture the wiring is still attached to the pump (don’t worry, the breaker is off). The 60’ of pipe I pulled up is now more than 60’ down the well casing. Pulling by the wires doesn’t seem like an option as I don’t think it will withstand the weight of pulling up a pump/ pipe way down below.
Does anyone have any creative suggestions for retrieving the pump?
