Have no time to mess with correcting the Wiki 'facts'. I use that site for a high level overview which is good enough. Yes, anybody can edit to correct missing / missleading / outright incorrect information. But the platform is known to have zealots whom quickly reverse the corrections in order...

I thought about weed burners, but ironically am trying to limit use of petro. For mass weeding, I go with pump sprayer and found that ~30% bleach / ~70% water mix is a good substitute for Roundup as it will kill most stuff. Can get highly surgical with the sprayer as well. Ok, sure, it is not...

Didn't marine engines come with a turbo in OE configuration? If so, that might explain the lower compression. But, Yes, that source of information is like a stew of details and it is sometimes very tough to tell which combination goes with which.

Might want to reconsider this path. I tried marines for a while. Meh. Truly feel that people are chasing ghosts here. Same for going with higher pop pressures. Do this: https://leroydiesel.com/products/bosch-injector-set-of-8-brand-new-no-core/ When it was time for a new engine, I went back...

I developed an allergy to trying to repair fuel injection parts. Go with new parts, or park it. Sure, it is possible to repair / rebuild, but this is a short term band-aid from what I experienced. Put another way, save a little money now, but all it does is increase the total cost to repair...

FWIW, I went the easy route with CIPA slip-on to mirrors. Zero trouble, zero shake, and visibility was good. Sure, not as sexy as going the elephant ear route, but I am more of a functional type of guy.

This certainly is a new and creative twist on dubious advice. FWIW, I installed an ECT sending unit in the port at #8 on the '99 Burb (with an OE dual t-stat setup and running a HO pump). Do not recall seeing anything more than a few degrees (Fahrenheit) difference from the ECT sending units...

All this talk of bagg-in the ride led me here:

This looks like a lot of work to me. Get a bunch of used 55 gallon drums and fill them with water. The extra weight will make the rig ride like it is on a cloud. Bonus is this will cost far less than replacement suspenion parts and is also a LOT easier to install :D

Soo... You're trying to tell me that I cannot do the penny challenge in a new house? Well that's just shocking!

Only thing missing is the fart spray dispenser for tailgaters. :)

I let morons ride my tail all they want. A big-ole stainless steel bumper will do a lot more to the other vehicle than what the other vehicle will do to it. The current daily driver has a manual transmission mated to a hefty diesel, so it can dump speed rather fast without touching the brakes...

Welcome to TTS! Good information! Question: what is the question? From the details, it looks like one goal is to install 4WD but the oil filter is in the way. In OE form, the GMT400's oil filter was probably an afterthought as there is *extremely* little room for removing it due to the front...

Welcome to TTS! Definitely do *not* need a dually for 7,500 pounds. Some current production SUV's can handle that weight and remain stable. Only advantage a dually gets is reducing the need for 4WD as there are already four wheels doing the work. But the costs are two more wheels when it...

Soooo.... You sprayed pheromones on the chimney and now skeletons are fornicating with it?

Meh... Keeps our firefighters in business and provides entertainment for spectators.

Welcome to TTS! Is it better to get rid of the 454 for a diesel? Depends. New diesel? Not if the system needs DEF. And what motorcoach? I had a buddy whom had a Class B with the GM 6.0L gas v8 and 6 speed tranny. Claimed that he got 10 mpg running up and down the East Coast when limiting...

While not able to foresee the future, purchasing a house right now is not looking good from an investment standpoint. Am seeing where listing times are starting to stretch out again. Interest rates are going up. And people are actually getting called back to the workplace and needing to...

Yeah... And that is one of the reasons I now have a DVR. To record all those millennials whom still cannot drive *despite* all the nanny add-ons :D

The used vehicle market is completely whack right now. MrMarty's link is a good example of that. Try looking at asking prices for Ferds of the same era and it will really blow the mind. Some of them push into the mid $20K range. At the moment this nuttiness is due to shortages of new...
