    Replacement headlights...

    I've been looking at replacing the front grill and headlight light mounts so I can use the 200 mm rectangular bulbs. It would also require different side markers and parking lights. Some 1998's had that setup so a used grill and headlight pots from a wrecker, or a new grill from LMC or any...

    Trans Temp Gauge: Pan vs. Inline probe

    If you are concerned about high temp breakdown I would suggest a synthetic ATF. I'm running Red Line HighTemp Synthetic ATF and I really am satisfied with it. Smooth shifting at both high temps and low temps is a must for areas with the temp extremes we get, and I'm willing to bet your area is...

    in remembrance of our vets

    This morning I woke up and made some coffee. My 13 year old daughter, who had sung in High School choir at yesterdays memorial service at the elementary school here in Banff, came up and sat with me. She has always taken the Remembrance Day services very seriously, whether marching in the...

    Trans Temp Gauge: Pan vs. Inline probe

    I've had my tranny temp sensor plugged into that port for over 2 years now without any problems. I can't speak to an inline sensor but the response time on mine is good. I can watch the temp climb while pulling up one side of a mountain pass and drop as I cruise down the other. The actual time...

    heavy duty or light duty truck?

    To put it simply, the expertise seems to here, but there is still a lot of valuable info there, although that info probably came from the expertise that is now here. If I can research what I need to know, rather than posting a question that has already been answered, it's a lot easier on...

    FSU Woes

    I replaced the tank and FSU about 20 months ago. The original FSU was broken with the metal arm only partially attached into the C-clip and that explained the erratic nature of my fuel gauge. During the installation of the new unit, the cheap thing broke in the same spot (I really don't know...

    Duct Tape + Cardboard = 31mpg??

    I stand corrected. I somehow seem to recall a Vega GT or something like that. However, it was the 70's and I was an indestructible adolescent male who was more interested in....:errr:, oh, never mind!

    Hydrogen

    Well put Jim!! :yesnod:

    Hydrogen

    I think it's important to remember that this is a supplemental fuel supply to enhance burn as opposed to an alternative supply. Because the hydrogens and oxygen are being converted from a small volume of liquid to a massive quantity of gas, the energy needed is not very much. I have to admit I...

    Duct Tape + Cardboard = 31mpg??

    The idea of reducing drag coefficient makes sense. Maybe a taller (deeper?) air dam would help if offroading is not a concern. Folding in the mirrors would probably reduce drag (removing my bug deflector and windshield visor certainly did) but I don't think it would be very safe!::crazy...

    PolyCog Serp Belt

    I had the same 100" belt from Heath for the vacumn delete. I had the same problem with stretch, the belt was screaming after about a week, especially at start-up or acceleration. I went and got a 99.5" belt and haven't had a problem since. The 99" should work but may be tight to get it on. As...

    DIY oil flush

    Last Friday after work, I decided to do my regular 4000 km oil change. I had 7 quarts of Amsoil 15w40 but when I went to drain the old oil I had that same old concern that I've had for every oil change since I bought my truck 2 years ago. Even after each change, th oil is so black. Even the...

    upper and lower control arm bushings?

    I changed out the uppers earlier this year when I replaced the upper ball joints. I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I got the job done. I took about 4 hours for the whole job. I took the control arms off and had to hack saw, grind and basically pulverize them out taking...

    How to make butter with your bus

    OK, so here's one about spilt milk. Years ago, I'm training for my new job, delivering a commercial order of milk to the loading dock and the food & beverage dept. at Chateau Lake Louise high in the majestic Cdn. Rockies in Banff National Park. The grumpy old cuss training me has 8 skids of...

    2" rear wheel spacers installed on a K2500 Sub.

    I installed them on my Suburban. They look better, seem to be a little more solid in the rear end and best of all, no-one comes to me anymore to tell me there is something wrong with the tracking of my truck. They are supposed to be harder on the rear bearings but I've had no problems so far...
