Re: 87 crew cab shortbed dually

Only way I can post pics from my iPhone is to upload pics to photobucket first.
I dunno if you can do something different with a Blackberry....

Re: 87 crew cab shortbed dually

A few pages back on this thread everyone was talking about the welding.

I believe you're running your current too low at 100 amps which was causing your difficulty starting the arc. A good rule of thumb for stick welding is 1 amp per thousandths of rod diameter. An 1/8 inch rod is 125 thousandths so run 125 amps. Turn the power up and you'll never have any issue with starting an arc and with 6011 rod you'll not have any worry about penetration.

Also, on important welds always weld uphill and not downhill. It's much harder to do but you won't have any slag inclusions in your bead. Weld uphill, slag runs downhill away from the puddle. This is particularly important with 7018 rod as it has such heavy slag.
