    Back-ish, update

    Sorry for the long hiatus, things got really rough for a while. However I think I can see a glimmer of light down the LONG tunnel. As some of you know I got out of the millitary about a year ago Also as many of you know, getting out of the military as combat arms doesnt leave you as many...

    Diesel A body

    I can only imagine how tall you could make your gears with a mildly built turbo deisel! :-) That much torque to play with and some tall gears and you could make that car rediculously quick considering how light it is.

    Can a car fix itself? TELL YOUR STORY!

    Even the newer ones. My 94 Grand Cherokee had serious wiring gremlins. Dome light would randomly come on and the factory alarm would go nuts flash the lights randomly when the key went to acc and than wouldnt start. Lost it one day and tore apart the entire interior took my multimeter to...

    Pro Touring 10K

    I know the feeling, only mine looks like a husk. I'll feel a lot better when the front end is back on and it starts looking like a car again. Right now it just feels daunting.

    Behold, the world's dumbest human being...

    Only decent car show i've seen is Top Gear UK. Was not impressed with US version, not at all, all 3 of them are retarded douches. Granted even the UK guys don't have much in the way of enthusiast skills(episode where they put together the kit car in the time it took The Stig to drive back from...

    MP road racing springs

    Sorry to hear bud, especially since its 2 sets in a year. That's sure what I was worried about with them though.

    Behold, the world's dumbest human being...

    What a moron, he gets porches blowing by him in the Challenger and its the cars fault...same thing happens in the Mustang and its because he can't "concentrate and talk at the same time" The guy can't drive worth crap to begin with, and apperantly knows jack S... about cars in general.

    Would there be interest in a dodge TBI setup made for our cars?

    After doing homework on my Jeeps OBD1 TBI system due to a possible 360 swap, I don't see Mopar TBI ever going on the Fish. The start ups are great advantage, but thats where it ends. (1) Lack of aftermarket support, couldn't find any tuners available for reprogramming (2) Related injectors...

    Craziest Brake Job I have ever done

    Just had a tweeker come by the shop, was selling some wheels and tires that came off a Duramax on craigslist. Asked to test fit one on his rig, got it up in the air and the lug nuts off. Went to grab the wheel to pull it off and there was over an inch of movement in the tie rod, and about an...

    Craziest Brake Job I have ever done

    I've seen it a couple times, most people aren't that retarded, but they are out there. Guess when they wear past the squeeler, they figure the brakes just fixed themselves.

    Magnum Motor Rebuild Questions

    Nice motor if its all they say it is. Little unerving that a 2k motor isn't even on a $150 engine stand but sitting on a tire lol. But your right about the core, found one on craigslist for 150 that i'm going to try and pick up this weekend. Considering i've sold off nearly all my vehicles...

    Magnum Motor Rebuild Questions

    Ok i've decided against working with the 360, to make the swap worthwhile I would need some heads that breath better than stock, and when push comes to shove its a 4500lb grand cherokee daily driver. Have a line on another 318 magnum for 150 that I will probably pick up this week. Trying to...

    Freakin' head gasket blew on my daughter's car

    X2, the timeline, and the millage, sounds WAY to fast to just be a headgasket going. I'd probably take some time to go over the entire cooling system and figure out what induced it. I normally do a T-Stat, and a flush a long with a full service when I first get a used vehicle to see the shape...

    Magnum Motor Rebuild Questions

    Going to have to be a long block, my heads need reworked, lot of lifter noise. Also I don't feel comfortable going through all the work to swap in another motor without atleast doing rings and bearings. I did an impulse buy on a 360 short block that came out of an 8sec n/a R/T Dakota with...

    Magnum Motor Rebuild Questions

    As some of you know my DD is a 94Grand Cherokee. The motor is worn, and exponentially plumiting downhill. Which leaves me trying to figure out the best way to go, i've already got too much time and money investested into this Jeep to start over with something else(everything but the...

    do we go to far on this cars some time????

    That pretty much sums up my project. It started as taking care of some minor cancer so I could put it back together prime it all one color and work on it one section at a time while keeping it driveable. Now the SOB has enough sheet metal cut off of it that I have jack stands under the...

    Shae's '68 NB Fish

    Life has thrown much at me lately, when in all honesty life threw a lot at me a while ago, but procrastination has finally caught up on me. A move was also thrown into the mix, iv'e had to move the car/parts and tools to a buddies shop. Was quite interesting trying to move a vehicle without a...

    Cliff i'm very sorry to hear about your mother and law passing, my condolences. I'm in a similar predicament with my family as your wife. Due to religous reasons, I am no longer considered part of the family since about the age of 17, and have not talked to my family since than. If they, or...

    Mopar in a Mustang ...

    For me the same thing applies to every other brand as it does Mopar, I may be a mopar fan but I appreciate certain cars from everyone else. youd be more than happy with it throwing a 351w in it, which is quite a good motor. Inkjunkie, x3, it really must be nice to throw cash around and waste it.
