  Junsun Android Head Unit

  By TexAg67

  I just installed this Junsun head unit in my 2018 Ram 2500 to replace the basic and tiny Uconnect head unit. So far, I like it. It is the 4G/64G version, which I highly recommend—absolutely no lag. The customer support is top-notch as well. You can tell they are foreign. Their command of the English language is not very good, but they communicate well enough to get the point across. They have helped me set up various items, like the CANBUS connection, that aren't included in the minimal... Read more

  CX-5 Valve Stem Seals Failing?

  By fakdaddy75

  Small amount of smoke in exhaust and burning oil smell. Compression test came out at 160 psi for all cylinders almost dead on across all 4 leakdown was <20% probably closer 10%. Spark plugs looked fine. Leads me to think either oil rings or valve stem seals. Not too much I can do about oil rings. Has anyone replaced the valve stems seals on these vehicles. Im aware of process - but not clear if a special tool is required or not a qjuick google says it is. Thank you!! 2014 Mazda CX-5 DIY... Read more

  Amazon Wagon #2, Electric Bluegaloo

  By propav8r

  Well, with the sale of my '63 rustbucket wagon, I was not really sure when/if I'd find another Amazon project. I really liked the car, but it was just too much of a project to chew with the time I have available at the moment. I sold that off to a buddy with most all of my spares. He picked that up about 3 weeks ago, and I replaced it with a '70 C10. Or so I thought. About a week and a half ago, @stick70 forwarded me a Marketplace listing for a blue '66 wagon in central...

  Your experiences on parts availability please...

  By goldengate

  Hi, I wanted to start a thread just on Lucid parts availability to find out what my Lucid brothers and sisters have experienced in the last few months with parts availability while their cars are in collision repair. I know it varies by part, and by model and by year, but my body shop quoted me some pretty scary leadtimes. Insiders have told me that with second shift in AZ shut down things should improve in this arena, but any recent experiences would be helpful as I determine next steps. I... Read more

  Kjet fuel return volume

  By 302ftw?

  Hi all, checking my work here. Is this the correct orientation for the return hose? The other banjo is coming from the pressure valve on the side of the fuel distributor. I ask because in 30 sec I only got about 500ml or less than half expected volume according to K-jet.biz . if this is correct I am honestly surprised the car even ran.

  140 Wiper Blades

  By 142 guy

  Does anybody have a line on windshield wiper blades that work on the 140? You know, actually wipe the water off the glass as opposed to just chattering and skipping across the glass. My wiper arms seem to have plenty of spring tension so I don't think that is the problem. I tried the ANCO classic stainless wiper blades. Looked the treat; but, didn't work worth a dam. I currently have an ANCO or TRICO or some other brand of black frame style wiper blade. I have tried a couple different... Read more
