    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Those torrents are decent to drive, comfortable size. But not a whole lot of fun to work on. heater core, like most new vehicles are not easy to replace. next go round, i will get customer to sign off on warranty and cut the tubes, it comes out without having to pull entire dash.

    How The Hell Do I Get This Off My Durango?

    Just did this on a hhr. Kit supplied a forstner bits and screws. Cut the melted plastic part and install handle with screws. Hokey at best. Not much for a 3/8 long screw to bite into.

    How The Hell Do I Get This Off My Durango?

    Pop rivets will split the plasic towers. Screws will likely come with the handle.

    WANTED 727 lockup transmission case for 1981 4x4 Ramcharger or Trailduster.

    Im thinking any 727 with a lockup will work. The cases are the same. Did you talk to the rebuilder, maybe they have one? A couple hours to gut yours and put parts into fresh case.

    Moving my cars is becoming a full time hobbie for me, sound familiar??

    I have considered this since i was in my 20’s. 30 years later im still thinking how i could make it viable. Insurance and getting financing are two big hurdles. 20 stalls and a certified technician are the minimum requirement. Having to equip a service bay for mechanical or bodywork is...

    Power steering leak

    If you are in the salt belt, like me- i wouldnt waste my time or money on a p/s cooler. Just more places to fail. I have removed a few, makes no difference whatsoever. I can see it in hotter climates being necessary. Dodge rams overpressure in the winter up here, blow seals out if the racks...

    Problem thread for the w150

    Usually. I had a rumchugger until about 12 years ago. Spent a lot of time on RCC until the owner sold it off. Just didnt seem the same. But some great info on there. Got plans and built a 4" lift for my power wagon. Im not reccomending another forum, i dont like to offend the mods. Gotta...

    Problem thread for the w150

    Metal on metal, could be ball joint or tie rod. I did a recall on a ramcharger,but dont exactly remember, was a patch panel on the right cowl,where hood and fender meet. I think. Was a body panel squawk/creak. If you have brake and bearing noises, should look at it sooner than later,cost of...

    Introducing FTO's Newest Member: Tooljunkie

    Sorry, no pics,power wagon is resting until i get a couple others rolling,its not photoworthy. It is a macho package though. Lining up parts trucks at this point,shortboxes no longer exist on this part of the planet,in any condition. Panels arent big enough so trimming an 8 footer will have to...

    Gmc van power tuner

    Its a 2010,5.3 in an awd savana 1500. Its struggling pulling trailer up an incline, buddy wants me to put in a 6.0 litre I suggested open up air intake and exhaust and add a tuner. So what if any power tuners actually work? Mechanic by trade but too wrapped up in repairing, never get to make...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Fabo has the hiccups, im sure admin has their hands full. A little foggy this morning,makes intersections a little dicey. Years ago there was peat-moss burning year round,on bad days it would shut down a stretch of highway, cops would regulate traffic after one person died in a big pile up in...
