67 Barracuda Formula S Fastback in Iowa
By budw67cuda
Figured I better finally start my restoration thread. I bought this car in August 2023 in Topeka KS. The day we brought it home it was 107 degrees. Crazy hot but we managed to get it back to my garage. The car was taken apart for restoration in 1978, I believe, just never finished. The owner had passed away and the wife sold it to me with the promise that I would finish it and give her a ride someday. We gathered up the pieces of the car that were scattered across 3 different buildings... Read more
AC High/Low caps
By CharlieS
Hi, Somewhere along the way I lost both of my plastic caps for the H and L ports. It's a 94 with R134A. Are AC caps generic - or maybe a better way to put it is do generic AC caps fit as replacements? If not, what's the go to source for replacements? Thanks!

lx700h early diff/trans/oil change
By LWC
I had read on the tundra forums that people were seeing quite a bit of debris/swarf in the differential gear oil following break in, so i wanted to do an early change (20k miles) to hopefully avoid issues down the road with the lockers. i've done a fair amount of off roading, albeit in relatively cool temperatures. While i was there i also did a trans fluid exchange, transfer case and greased the zerks. Was pleasantly surprised by the wear metals in the diff, none of the swarf that people... Read more

5.7 Post tune issues
By Martyt56
I recently did a cam and lifter swap plus headers in my 2019 Bighorn 5.7. I took it to my tuner and it runs awesome but it will randomly lose window controls, door locks, fuel gauge , amp gauge, AC, radio, all lights this is random and it corrects itself in a few minutes.It flashes No CAN BUS when this happens. My tuner is stumped and has ordered a BCM for the truck and he stated if that isnt it he was changing the TIPN. Any one have any help for me as throwing parts at this thin is expensive.

Mounting measurements for 78 Fj40 tire carrier needed please.
By brandiclay
I’m hoping someone would do me a favor and measure exactly where the hinges mount on the left rear for my tire carrier. Unfortunately the previous owner hacked this tub all up and never installed the carrier. So I’m remounting it blind. If I could at least get something from reference points like the distance from the ambulance door thing to the first set of bolts on the bottom hinge. that would probably be all I need. from images I am assuming the tire carrier hinge sits aligned with the...

Tricked Up 100k Warranty?
By etbrown4
Looks like sneaky Stellantis dropped a mickey in the drinks of used Ram buyers. Yes new truck buyers get the 10 year 100k warranty, but tough luck for used buyers who only get 5/60. Here's what they say... " Persons to Whom the 100k Limited Warranty is Offered. " This Limited Warranty is provided to the original owner of a 2026 Model Ram vehicles (excluding fully electric vehicles) who purchased it through a FCA US LLC franchised dealer through a retail purchase." Traditionally, US... Read more

RAL 3031: The red paint on 1971 Charger Drums/Mag 500 wheels
By 74ChargerSE440
Here a picture of the original red "over" paint color on the inside of Mag 500 wheels from a 1971 Dodge Charger 440. I concluded that RAL 3031 (Orient Red) was the most closest of all the reds of the RAL classic paint chart. I checked it in day light with an original paint chart. On a computer screen it looks like this: So not: 3000 Flame Red 3001 Signal Red 3002 Carmine Red 3027 Raspberry Red 3028 Pure Red 3020 Traffic Red 3016 Coral Red
