No fluid to rear brakes
By mtbiker
Gents, I recently did a brake job on my brother's 2001 2WD F-150. All went as planned until it was time to bleed the brakes. My brother was working the paddles and I was opening the bleed screw as...

A couple of rocks you didn't know you were using.
By SteveSS
Your Tums and Pepto Bismol is CaCo3. Calcium carbonate. That's limestone. It counteracts the acids in your stomach. Yep, my Master's degree is geology. Your silicon spray coating is SiO2. Silicon dioxide, on your paint job. That's quartz.

shots from the garage...
By A body
Not sure why... but I really had the motivation to work on the car yesterday. Mocked up the mounts and spacers, drilled and got the threaded inserts in place. Got the engine sitting in a correct enough position to where most of the header tubes align. Made an appointment with a local header guru to finish them up. I tried playing around with my welder on a few sections of header tubing, but I don't have a bottle and really couldn't get a good quality weld with the rosin core wire I have. I'm... Read more

Is this a stuck trans alignment pin?
By smartobject
I have the trans almost separated from the block. But it seems less like something is resistant to change. Just under the spot for the starter. All bolts are out and converter bolts out also. ...
Installing a New ECU Question
By hotrod1442
I have a 2013 FR-S that has been tripping P000A, and P0016 codes, after replacing all the cam phasers (did them all to be on the safe side), timing chains/tensioners, oil control valves, and cam position sensors, I'm still getting the P000A. P0016 codes. After doing some research on this it...
Krawlers Edge cage
By NYC Bronco
I'm installing mine tomorrow and I realize ti comes with no instructions, which isn't a big deal for the cage but I could use some guidance for all the assembly pieces for the seat belts. Any one have a PDF or other format copy? They provided a QR code to download instructions but the link is broken so no luck there.
79fj40 on 80 chassis!
By plfj40
Finally starting writing about my project that started 5 years ago with rusted 40 tub and a clean frame fj80 that I picked up from fellow club members shop in PA. after owning the 40 for 15 years and beating it Offroad it was finally time to put some time into it and show it some needed attention. Years back I picked up a mint tub here in CT with the intention of swapping it onto existing 40 frame but after going over the 40 and looking at the condition of the frame I decided to get a...

68 Side tank brackets and filler neck
By 904Bronco
FREE - Out of my 68, I am not reusing. No tank, but I have the bottom plate, (2) straps, front strap bracket, J-hooks, and filler neck. (Yeah, there is some undercoating on most of the parts) I suppose I could ship, but I suspect that might not be cheap. Located in San Martin, CA if you want to do pick-up. I might be able to get them to Wild Horse's Round up in mid May this year... Doug.

Deciding on Suspension Refresh
By sp73
I’m down in Charlottesville with a stock 87 FJ60. Next year’s project is a suspension refresh. I’ve looked heavily into Cruiser Outfitter’s OEM kit as well as Terrain Tamer’s parabolic kit. Use is 100% road, and I don’t plan on rock crawling ever. My tires are new 31s. I mostly drive around town with some scenic drives, road trips thrown in. Really looking for input on whether lifting makes any sense, pros and cons etc.
4BT Cummins swap questions
By ThatOldSixtie
Hey mud, Couple of questions about the 4bt. What does it take to convert an industrial 4bt to road use? Is the front timing cover the same as a 6bt? Who makes a good rebuild kit? What us needed to reach 150hp with one of these? Looking for a stage 1 setup because I want to put one in a fat 80 on 35's. Im sure I'll have more questions so I will keep this thread on going. Thanks fellow obsessive's!
Reviving My 1975 FJ40
By ranchdawg
It’s been 21 years since my 06/75 FJ40 has seen the road. Time to wake it up. I don’t even have a photo of it put together except for my avatar photo, so I can’t even show you what it looked like when it was running. Backstory…I bought my rig sometime in 2001 for $5000 in Folsom CA. Pretty rust free and a hardtop. Rear fenders were cut and about one inch of sheet metal cut off the bottom on both sides. It had some homemade steps made of thick angle iron and steel diamond plate. Front... Read more
OG JLP Forced Air Induction Kits for '03-'04 Cobra – Any real gains?
By SVT69
Hey guys, looking to get some thoughts on the old school JLP Forced Air Induction Kit for the 03/04 Terminator. The concept makes total sense on paper—routing air from those lower bumper openings right next to the fog lights straight up into the intake box. But does this actual ram-air setup provide any noticeable gains in the real world, or is it basically snake oil? Would I be better off just grabbing a standard JLT intake, or is the JLP setup worth hunting down? Appreciate any insight... Read more

727 questions
By 65Cuda273Rescue
Please look at my 727 and let me know what you see needing addressed. This is in a 67 Cuda, 383. I believe the transmission is a 66 383 trans, so assuming I can say it's not the original one. 2466900 - On rail H2538334 - 2659211 I know I have an empty pinion hole. I think I have everything sourced from Brewers to take care of that. Looks like I use a black 32 tooth gear. The rear transmission cooler line connector is broken off in the transmission. Is it the same size of the front... Read more

F29 Fuse Continues To Blow
By bzdozit
I’m a mechanic and I’m absolutely lost so I figured I’d see if anybody in here has had this issue or heard of it being fixed. I’ve got a 2014 Ram 2500 that’s been bugging me. Customer brought it in because it would blow fuse F29 with a trailer hooked up and trailer park/marker lamps would be inoperative afterwards. Simple circuit, should be a pretty simple fix. Nope. Typically blows the fuse a couple minutes into driving with a trailer hooked up. Keep in mind that it occurs on 3 separate... Read more
