• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    F off winter!

    Well it appears we got a "hot flash" and warmed up to 48* today. Finally nice enough to fire up the 96 F150, '95 Bonne and my GP without subzero temps. My alternators say "thank you", lol.

    F off winter!

    Ok, I'm done with this cold BS. Trying to work on cars in these temps is just about impossible anymore. My hands do not appreciate the cold like they used to. Hell, even my beer slushed up tonight when I went out to fire up the cars to keep the batteries hot, lol.. I hope this snow ends soon...

    Thank you, good night, we love you too, Ozzy

    I'll just leave this here.. Words hard to find right now for all the years you've entertained us, but thank you. I'm grateful for the 10 times I got to see you live over the years. Rock In Peace :th_rockon1: Since I'm a huge Blues fan I can't forget this shot, lol..

    Smoke test help for 3800 series 2 engine running lean, HELP PLEASE

    I'll pass on some info that is pertinent to the UIM/LIM job that I always use. It's the bolt tightening pattern and torque specs for the LIM and UIM. Follow those and you'll be good. Note on this pic- the #5 bolt is the unmarked one under #11. I have used 15 ft/lbs with no issues...

    Subframe mount change?

    This --> Plus this--> Means I never have to worry about that ****ty oil sending unit leaking again. The oil gauge sending unit that goes with this gauge replaces the factory POS and doesn't leak. I've only worn one out, but no leaks.

    To replace lifters or not???

    I will be doing the LIM gaskets on a 2008 L26 engine that has 143K on it currently. While I am in that far would it be worth while to change all the lifters? I can get a new set of Morel 7717's for around $210. I would get GM LS7 lifters but those have more than doubled in price and I can't...

    Injector o rings and spacer

    Got around to replacing my injector o-rings tonight. 3 of my injectors have had the pintle cap missing for ages with no ill effects. Installing the new lower orings I just use a dab of rtv to keep the oring and the small plastic ring above it in place. Reinstall went fine. Everything seats...

    What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

    Finally had a chance to get some very long overdue work done on the GP today. Replaced the valve cover gaskets/grommets, PCV valve, spark plugs and wires and an oil change. My tape on the underside of the hood indicated that the plugs/wires were last changed at 411K in 2020. Sitting at 517K...

    Key Fob not working at all?

    Strange issue with my 00 GT. Thought my key fob was going bad since the car no longer responds to any buttons presses on the fob. It used to work intermittently when I got close to the car but now nothing. I can lock the car with the interior switches just fine and the trunk pop button works...

    No fluid from right rear brake line

    Had the owner of the 01 GT come over today so he could help me bleed the brakes. Backstory, I had to remove the 4 lines from the top of the ABS module in order to install a new fuel line (feed side). Nothing is leaking fluid anywhere. Started at the right rear as usual and noticed I wasn't...

    Maybe new wheels, need fitment check

    I have been looking on and off for wheels and might have found some that I like. I've been through Bio's post on wheel stuff but just want to double check before I spend the coin since I've never bought a set of aftermarket wheels. Wheels I'm considering are 18x8, center bore of 73.1 (have...

    Car Karma!

    Since I've been driving the boss' F150 for the last 2 weeks trying to get it ironed out again I've let the GP sit for once. Came home today and saw that the pass. side front window was down about 1/4 of the way, after it was raining most of the day on and off... After checking it out and...

    Sources for good trans builds?

    After 387K miles my trans might finally be telling me its done. Been dealing with the TCC lockup flair for a while and tonight on the way home driving normally it locked quicker than normal and threw a CEL with a P0742. Is also lugging around now but doesn't die so that's a plus. Might try a...

    cooling system blocked?

    The low coolant light has been on again lately. Was fine for a few months after the new rad. and cleaning the sensor. I checked the rad. and it's been full. No leaks anywhere. I fired it up tonight with the cap off so I could wait for it to heat up and open the thermostat. About 3 min. in...
