Slick 50 may be fine for clunky old v-8s, but it's bad news for any vehicle with a mechanical injection pump - including our deuces. Slick 50 is basically just a carrier oil with tiny Teflon particles suspended in it. They claim it reduces engine wear because the Teflon bonds with the metal...

It fits the 3052 (non overdrive) and other transmissions, too.

You don't want the box? Are you turning it into a cargo truck? The box would make a fine storage shed in my backyard.........

The taco place is on the south-east corner of the I-10 and Cherry Ave. in Fontana, South side of the freeway.... Usual meeting time is around 10am I think, someone (Gary or Will?) will post the exact time in the next few days. The wrecking yard is a private (non-retail) yard open to us MV...

Well, it seems to me it can only be one of three things..... Wrong sealant (isn't there special stuff for this? Check Napa), too loose a fit (but I doubt it if there was a decent interference fit when you drove them in), or your radiator cap holds too much pressure (radiator shops or maybe even...

In an e-mail, a friend of mine was told that, "it could take up to 45 days or so". Aka, infinity. He made a phone call at the 46th day, and his invoice showed paid the next day. My conclusion is that a squeaky wheel could get oil, but an annoyingly squeaky wheel could end up with it's...

I was going to photoshop a picture of Richard Simmons in it, until I read that it was for breast cancer awareness. B:-D:-DBS RULE!

Sounds like he needs the C plate, too.... If you can't find the pieces you need, the complete plate kits with the brackets and the mounts, bolts, etc. is usually around only $20 or so. Dave Walker / Walker Auto & Truck Wrecking has complete kits, he ships. 760-244-8060 Jon

Don't worry, they aren't going to scrap that.... I've seen the same trucks sitting there year after year, they seem to never scrap anything. When you call, ask for James... He's the only one who works there that isn't (usually) a jerk. That price doesn't seem too bad to me, if it's not rusty...

Here's some fine examples of home made "lift kits" to provide inspiration for you... Jalopnik - 30 Epic Do-It-Yourself Automotive Fabrication Failures - Epic Fail

Very interesting data. Thanks for posting it Jim! I will digest it for a while.... I'm like an accurate, reliable but really slow computer, after you hit 'enter' nothing happens for some time while it 'thinks'. :-D b.t.w. - The number after the rating indicates the type of engine the oil if...

Of all these posts, I'm surprised nobody told you the obvious, sure-fire way to verify it's an LDS... take off the heads, remove the exhaust valves, and cut them open... If they're sodium filled, it's an LDS. :-D Also, I think there were piston and oil-cooling jet differences - Pull a piston...

I think Patrick is probably right.... I don't see how you could have coolant coming out that tube without the oil on the dipstick looking like tapioca pudding. Jon

Well, I'll go against the grain and tell Bjorn what he wants to hear... :-D Here goes: That tire doesn't look that bad to me. I'd run it. I'd make sure it's on the rear, so if it does happen to blow it won't cause a loss of control. I'd make sure the cords weren't cut and I'd patch it per...

Visit MV shows and/or watch eBay.... I've never paid more than $175 for a NOS canvas top.

Yes, the JATONKA adapters use spin-on filters where the canisters would be. Either system can be used with a bypass filter (including the stock canisters if you wish), as the bypass filter would be plumbed into the system after the oil filters and be a totally independent circuit. This thread...

I hope not... I am morally opposed to the slaughter of naugas for the manufacture of seat covers. :-D

Good job! ....That looks VERY nice!

S.A.E. 30 meets all current diesel engine manufacturers' requirements. Also, no diesel engine manufacturer tells you NOT to use S.A.E. 30. So why do they generally spec 15w-40 these days? ....For it's true - they do. I can think of two logical reasons: 1 - The K.I.S.S. principle... Keep It...

I agree with you Jim, multi-grade oils definitely have their place, particularly in places with cold winters to eliminate the need to change oil seasonally. Though personally, I would use a block or pan heater before I used a multi-grade oil. What is this API rating you have that shows a...
