Had a buddy of mine who is familiar with the older tundras look over my LX for the cam tower leak. He checked it out on his lift for awhile but couldn’t tell me definitely if it is currently leaking or if it was previously fixed or it could be the valve covers. I’m not losing any oil over the past few weeks and have driven about 500 miles. Looking at pics from others it looks like a cam tower but I could be wrong. Very faint oil burning smell after driving all day but isn’t all the time... Read more

Many of you have offered advice and things to check on my dragging brakes. I give up on them. I’m buying a disc brake kit. Budget is $700 for the brake kit. Details: I have no idea which rear is under this truck so the kit will have to be adaptable to the different backing plate bolt patterns. Welding brackets onto the rear isn’t an issue Truck has 77 front discs Vacuum boosted with the 77 master cylinder and disc-drum distribution block. Questions …. Which kit do you recommend...

2014 Ram 1500 5.7 For the first 30-35 minutes of being “operating temperature” my truck will overheat if not moving (highest I saw was 245f). I thought originally ok my fans just died. It will do this consistently, but after that 30-35 minutes has passed, it will idle and be in traffic completely fine. 219f-222f coolant temps after that half hour. Oil temps never got over 225f but I don’t want to risk a head gasket every time I drive. Already tested KO1 and KO2 which both test fine (around... Read more

Ashram is a drop-in replacement for the 100-series ashtray with a 2-hole AMPS mount compatible with RAM diamond-shaped ball mounts. You just take out the ash tray and slide this in until it clicks. To remove it, press the button and pull it out. No disassembly. Fully reversible. Install or remove in a couple seconds. This solves a real problem I have with my Land Cruiser – where to mount a phone that's not in the way. I also make an AHC button / coin tray... Read more

I found a local Royal Farms that sells 90 octane ethanol free gas. I usually run 93 in my car without any issues other than if I let my car sit for long periods of time it doesn't like to run on the old gas. How does the 90 octane ethanol free compare to the 93 with ethanol? I'm assuming it would last longer since it doesn't have ethanol in it, but how much is the extra "3" octane rating with ethanol worth?

Looking for something positive. Just opened a $451 water bill. I guess that our property is somewhat green can fit but driving around Oracle is scary, lot's of dying and dead oaks and junipers. Maybe a club rain dance is in order.

I’ve been doing these write ups on Facebook for a few years. I decided it’s time to transfer them on here for others to see, and to have a backup in case I decide to delete the group these are in. Maybe this can be helpful to some of you! ***All text not quoted from another is my own*** First up is the rare and sought after U13 Roadster! The Roadster was only produced for 3 years, 66, 67, and 68. There were a total of 5,000 built during these three model years. 1966: 4,090 1967: 698... Read more

Video link to noise while driving Hi All, I'm looking for some advice with my 70 Charger now that I'm able to start road testing it. I've done a ground up nut and bolt rebuild on this car and it has fought me every step of the way. The latest issue is a drone/hum coming from the rear end when driving. As you can hear in the video it is quite noticeable inside the cabin and only really becomes noticeable once driving faster than 20-25mph. The hoes up and down in pitch according to... Read more
