All, Back story: I just splurged some coin to get my A/C back in operation on the Yukon. When I got it someone had several of the lines disconnected under the hood for reasons I don't know. I took it over to a buddy mechanic to try and get it working again. After replacement of 2 lines he had...

Welp I ended up stumbling on this 2005 Yukon XL in SLT trim for peanuts off a young kid who used it for his transport business. With the rising duel costs he was selling to purchase a smaller van. I jumped quickly into action to get this thing ready for my trip to TN. The day I picked it up and...

Yep, another iron in the fire. We have been avid campers for the past 2 years now at a local site about 15 minutes from our house. Several other family members have carts up there from stock (89 EZ Go Marathon) to not (02 Club Car 670 swapped). We have so many people at camp that we really...

I think I had a few photos posted of this unit somewhere in my one-size-fits all threat but we are taking the next step. Background is my family purchased a club car from a golf course for our seasonal campsite. First was the rear seat install, then came the HD rear springs, then the 6" lift...

This project is going to be a tad different than the norm here. With my oldest about to turn 3 in August I decided to get him a power wheels, with intentions to modify it after he gets the hang of it. I set my eyes on a used unit as It will be tough to hack up a new $400 unit. I never had these...

All, I have gotten back into the swing of working on my truck (69 1300D SRW) alone on the weekends back at the place of employment. I pulled my rear drum/hub units to inspect/repack the wheel bearings and replace the seals. Upon removal of the driver inner bearing I noticed a substantial amount...

As some of you have seen before this rig and know I have had my eyes on it. The truck is an old IH fire truck. Some back story is the truck: It was utilized on an Alcoa Foundry. I'm assuming all its life as the odometer seems legit with 4,600 miles. Reasoning for legitness is pedals are in great...

So a few months ago I had to take my Boss's truck to the local Chevy dealer for service. On the way over I noticed that there was a substantial amount of play in the steering wheel (reminded me of my old 94' Silverado Plow Truck it was that bad). Id say there is a solid inch of play and when the...

Good Morning Guys, Our trusty 2004 3500 Dually got towed to our shop yesterday. Driver stated RPM's were rising on a highway drive to the jobsite. We checked the truck when it came in and the fluid was way over full. Supposedly the driver added some transmission additive in an attempt to fix...

Long story short I had my '94 Lightning Roller Block bored 0.030 over and had flat tops installed about 1.5 years ago. Builder and I split ways on rough terms after several missed deadlines and blowing off meetings. Got the engine back supposedly finished, however valve train setup was horrid...

Hey guys, Looking for some input here as to what PSI i should run in my new Kumho KL-78's on my F250. Currently I'm pissing off the TPMS (They call for 65 PSI) and I' currently running 50 PSI. My rims are the 20'' diameter (8'' wide) 8-spoke Lariat/King Ranch rims with 325/75/R20's on them...

Hello all, Figured i would start a build thread on my new truck. Been to a few other forums since I've owned my 6.5 and none of them feel as welcoming as TTS. Since my 6.5 days I've finally graduated (for the last time) and now am an estimator/project coordinator at a demolition company. I...

Hello Everyone, Been a few years since I've been active on the forum since selling the 6.5. Dabbled in the gasser half ton pickup market for 2 years and am looking to get back into a diesel. Been looking heavily into the 6.0L rig. I know everyone is going to try and steer me away but I've had...

Hello all, I have had an issue for a year or two now with something in my heater box. The issue has come and gone about 2-3 times and is back again. When I start the truck something in the box makes a "flapping" sound. This sound will go on for 20-30 seconds and then stop. But if I hit the...

New to the Buick scene, well not quite yet but in the process. My dad bought a 2001 Buick Century custom about 2-3 years ago with 50K miles in mint condition. It has the 3.1L engine. Its now up in the 130's and is starting to show surface rust on the rockers along with some issues. My dad just...

Last night we went to our local Ford dealer after i found a 2010 Escape listed on auto trader. Ended up buying this unit for $14,995. 63K miles, real nice shape and brand new tires! The old escape was in need of a cv shaft, rear drive shaft and the trans started shifting a little weird...

I usually use Napa Gold oil filters on my rig every oil change. Last change i used the best Purolator i could get. Somewhere i heard that Purolator was a good brand? When i pulled the Napa Gold off and set it next to the Purolator there was about 1-2'' difference in filter length! That's a lot...

Hello all, looking ahead to the next winter season as its about 1/2 the year for us here. I need to purchase a new set of tires that will be winter dedicated only. I currently run stock painted black 8-lug steelies and they are rusting pretty bad. I am looking to get a new set of wheels, of...

Thread on my "other" toy. Form when i towed it home from southern PA (yes it was a chicks ride, yes that stickers was gone as soon as it got home)
