Bad thing is i have 5-20 in it now. I used to use mobile 1 5-20 and I lost the #5 roller on the exhaust side. Many people were saying that the mobile wasn't a good oil to use, although I have ran it in most vehicles for the last 20 years I thought I would try the royal purple 5-20 as 8ve heard...

Rumblefish360, I did use the helical pump. My oil pressure used to be halfway on the gage now its 3/4. Rod

Cosgig, if you read my original post I've just replaced all that.

TF360, yes I am sure it's not manifold tick. As I said in an earlier reply thread I replaced the needed ones when I put it back together. This is most definitely a tappet tick. It only last 2 or 3 seconds on cold start up. Rod

Rarichard, I've replaced the manifold studs when all other work was done. I did a valve job while it was apart. This is definitely lifter tap. Rod

I'm currently running 5-20. I was going to go with 5-30. But I have 5 qts ofvthat and 3 qts of the 20-50. There is no warranty so I'm not really worried about that. Thanks for the input. May I should just use a 10-40 and be done with it. Lol. Rod

I was wondering how would mixing 3 gts 20-50 of the same brand oil with 4 qts of 5-30 oil change the viscosity if the total blend. I have a 2011 5.7 hemi in a ram 1500 truck with 65k miled and I had to replace the cam, lifters, oil pump, Vvt valve and phaser. Now at startup it has the "hemi...

Rarichard, what is the Diablo tuner, how does it work? Did the disabling of the mds change fuel mileage? Thanks Rod

RRR you kill me. Lmao

I am or maybe I should say “was” the proud owner of a 2011 ram 1500 truck with a 5.7 hemi. I’m so disappointed in the 5.7 that I feel maybe I should buy, and I hate to even think this but maybe a Ford! I’ve been bitten by what I am being told is the hemi tick. (And my motor is not making any...

I dont want to break any rules on this forum so I thought I would ask how to do this properly. I have some parts that I would like to see if anyone would trade parts that I need. Is this allowed here on this forum and if so where and which topic do I post under? Thanks Rod

Northern, yes it would be possible but much harder. I am usually alone and at 61 my head doesnt turn around that easily. One of the things that would make it difficult is that I have only a drivers mirror and no passenger mirror. Could definitely make a difference tho. Maybe I will give it a...

A few questions about tongue weight on your trailers. I have a 24' trailer (Gator brand) that has a V-nose frt end. It is not one of the really expensive trailers but it does what is ask of it. The main thing I use it for is to store my Zero turn mowers and generator in it, kinda like a moving...

Keith, Had a great time today. Thanks for getting us together.

So no one is going to this show? Wow, it has so many different types of cars and Richard Petty actually drops in. Let me know if your coming and what car you will be bringing. Would like to meet some members from on here. Rod

Im not much for going to car shows but I will be attending the one in Ridgley Md this month. Was wondering if any other FABO members will be going as well. Rod

I feel fortunate as I will turn 60 this month. I have aches and pain in my back but I work thru it daily with aleeve and back medication when its really bad. Doc says I have arthritis in my back and in my hands. Good thing is i dont have it in my knees (yet). I play and walk at least 54 holes of...

Dfr360cuda, You are correct on the safety chains for the hitch. I think that 67dart273 was meaning the tie downs for the car on the trailer when he referred to the "cross" binding of the vehicles when being towed. I was always told the same thing as well, so today I spent a lot of time and...

Dart4forte, Where on the car do you pull with the ratchet straps. Did you add any hooks or rings to the car anywhere? Rod

I have an early A Body, 66 Dart and I just bought an enclosed trailer. Was wondering what type of tie down methods you are using and how are you attaching them to the car. Also what are some things I should do for using this trailer to haul the car when I need too. Pics would be great. It is a...

38 years here and dated 3 years in high school. Not always the easiest thing but shes a great lady even though she hates my dart, vette and my golf habit! But i plan on keeping her anyway. Rod

I always look at Christmas as a very special time. My son and daughter both spend most of the weekend here at the house and yes it becomes crowded and messy. But its family and I cherish it. We are blessed with 2 grandsons and just last week we found out that there will be a 3rd grandson in May...

As was stated earlier in the thread "you only need 1 person". I recently had a car that I listed for 10k over what others cars of the same make, model and year where going for. It took quite some time but it sold for my asking price. If you want that price and you dont have to sell hang in...

As I said in my earlier post I'm not a Tiger fan. And I was rooting for anybody other then him this past weekend. But over the weekend Tiger played great, kept himself out of trouble, stayed calm and carried himself well! I was hoping he never won another tournament but he proved me wrong. His...

Prayers go out to you and your family. The passing of a parent leaves a void in your life that is present forever. Stay strong like your father would want you to be! Rod

Has anyone heard from inkjunkie since he started this thread back on August 18????? Rod

Inkjunkie, I'm not any kind of a doctor and Ive never met you. But I can tell you that you have value to more people then you realize. If there's pain you need to see a doctor. As for sleeping i understand the lack of sleep and its knock down effect. Let the Doctor know about that as well as...

Roy, just saw this. Hope your recovery starts to move along better then you have said so far. Hang in their and keep updating. Rod

I went to my 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th and then didnt go to another one until this past year for our 40th. Had a great time. I would say that people had finally grown up and there was no clicks left. Had almost 400 in the class and only 90 of them made it to the 40th. I would say go, it may be...

Rusty, I think at some time or another all of us have gone thru something like this. Im a huge believer in the fact that sometimes a customer needs to be fired. In your case a firing means to call him to come and get all his parts. I would not tell him he has no bill. I would tell him that the...
