I use it soldering and for heat shrink tubing. If your leak is visible like a crack or split in a crossover, use a toothbrush sized wire brush to clean the paint and shine the copper. Smear some acid flux on the crack, use a pair of needle nosed pliers to close the crack. Now your ready to apply the heat, a dab or two of solder and your done. "Nothing fancy"  |
Do it like ironangel says. Too many people that work on theses trucks are swapping out parts and not learning what our fathers taught us. Repair , before replace.
