Got a cherry picker? Works great for moving around large, heavy objects, that you need someplace other than where they are at.

That is a good idea, but I had a better one. Told him I would start charging him the same fee as a storage unit if he doesn't have them out of the way by Wednesday (his next day off).

FYI you don't need a cylinder tester.....go to Advance Auto and rent their combustion tester....also referred to as block tester. It's just a simple siphon tube that pulls your fluid into a test tube and chemically tests for combustion gases mixing with your coolant. The tester is free to rent. You'll need to buy the $10 bottle of testing fluid. But it works great and will tell you if you have any issues with a head gasket allowing combustion into the antifreeze.

Yeah, there is no way I would actually charge him, but I do need to have them moved by Wednesday though.

Typically it follows the firewall behind the engine and above the transmission up to the master cylinder or splitter block.

You look on the main page of the section you want to be in and near the top left is a button to select a new post8ing. You want to be in the Ram section not the Dakota section. At the very top there is a Forums drop list hover then select Dodge Trucks then Ram
