MuggyWeld.com customer Jamie Scheld sent a photo testimonial of his success story using the 77 STICK/TIG welding rods.

These MuggyWeld 77 Cast Iron Rods are great because they helped me fix a broken engine mount casting in the block of my 94 Dodge 5.9 Cummins 12 Valve Straight 6 Diesel Engine that I put into my work truck. It's a 96 GMC K2500 4X4 Extended Cab, Long Bed with a 3 Inch Lift and a 5 Speed New Venture 4500 Manual Tranny. I got sick of my GM 6.5 Turbo Diesel Engine not because it's a bad motor, it's actually a decent motor, but it just isn't in the same league as the Dodge 5.9. The truck now RIPS pretty damn good! Snaps your head back even in 5th gear!
Nonetheless, the MuggyWeld 77 Cast Iron Rods worked excellent! The rods were VERY easy to weld with and produced a nice strong new base metal in the block that I could tap and drill. I followed the advice Mike at Muggy Weld gave me beforehand, which wasn't rocket science and was straightforward for anyone who is a decent stick welder. Not complicated at all.
During the process, I actually welded and ground down the new engine mount casting like 3 TIMES! Not because the rods aren't great, they are but because I accidentally kept over grinding the new engine mount perch TOO FAR beyond perfectly flush with the other three adjacents to it!
I wanted the new engine mount perch to be flush with the other three so that when the engine mount was bolted up, the engine mount wouldn't rock back and forth and wouldn't have any space behind it. NOT easy! I finally got it ground level and flush, and the new mount bolted up excellent. Nice and strong! Very pleased with the job! Thanks, MuggyWeld!
I hope the pics are pretty self-explanatory, and yes, I was using a bolt screwed into the adjacent mount perch as a drill guide to keeping me drilling straight! I hope the pics are worth a thousand words!
