I'm just throwing this out there but when I worked for Buick when we did a trans service we ran the transmission through all the gears including reverse for a few minutes before the tires ever touched the ground. The reason is when you drain the fluid and filter residual fluid trapped in the...

Check the alternate fuels section they have good advise. But no you can't, not multifuel. Denny

Empty bladder and colon before driving because it will beat it out of you!:shock: Denny

Check grounds, sockets and bulbs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Denny

I wrenched on new Buicks and even they had some type of lubricant in the threads from the factory. Every mechanic I ever met or know puts some type of lubricant on the threads. Even in GM tech school they said lube the threads with wd40 or light oil but do not put anything on the seat of the rim...

Just throwing this out there but my deuce has 6 lug nuts per wheel so I don't think a deuce rim will work. I'm by no means an expert maybe there is a way to bolt 6 lug wheels to 5 lug hubs I don't know about? I hope you all will show how to do it perhaps a nice tutorial with pictures? Maybe rims...

Man that thing had hubcaps on it originaly! Denny

When we would sneak the rope seals in and out we allways loosened up the mains to drop the crank down, and rotate the crank in the direction we were pulling. Sorry I forgot to add that part.:doh: Denny

Welcome to the nuthouse, I'm in Ober just down the road from you (35 or so miles). I'm origionaly from Whiting. Good luck on your new truck, May The Force Be With You! Denny

I used an Ideal heated tire groover with a #4 head. It was a bit of a learning curve at first just make sure to mark your pattern before you cut. The cheapest way to mark the tires is to steal a crayon from your kids, grandkids, girlfriends kids or neighborhood kids but don't tell them...

Sorry for your loss. I hate to say it but I think that truck is F.U.B.A.R. I hope all will be well for you though. Denny

Sorry to say this but that tool was a waste of money.aua Yes the crank has to be out of the engine to use that tool it is for seating rope rear main seals. After you set the rope seal into the groove in the block or main cap you push down on it and use a sharp razor blade to cut the ends of the...

First you need to go through your wiring and figure out how and where you let the smoke out of your wiring harnes. :shock: Then start figuring out why the smoke escaped, chaffed wire, pinched wire, loose ground, loose hot wire, etc. Denny

At the dealership we would just use a drift pin to slide the gear back to center it. Remember leave no marks, be firm but gentle. Denny

The stores by me sold a lot of ice picks! They are much quieter.:doh: Denny

Where did you get these products from and how much? I'll bet you don't see any long term gains. We tried the same thing with slick50 in the 80's at the dealership I worked at short term (under 500 miles) saw an improvement (10% mpg) after about 500 miles nothing. No way you will see a 30%...

How much sweet tea is left in there if you open the glovebox door?:doh:

Diecorpse, What did you findout about your heads when you took them in? Denny

When air pressure goes up air volume has to go up with it, this leads us to air density. Put a bigger snail on. Making the exhaust port flow to well will remove to much heat from the cylinder which will result in a loss of power. That is why even on the best racing heads with the best ports the...
