Should have them swap out the trash-lok while they're at it. Sell it to some fool that thinks it is worth something.

I've always been a fan of Marlin 70, Remington 597, and Marlin 70 in that order. Tube magazines are just such a PITA.
My neighbor, who works at the proving grounds, wouldn't say anything. Maybe now they don't make the Dakota anymore they will make a light duty Ram with a small diesel? Maybe the common rail engine...
It was early. And I think you meant dirp.
On another note, I saw a mid-size RWD sedan with camouflage yesterday.
I've seen half a dozen Fiat Grand Voyagers, several long-travel Rams, and a new Challenger on the road. I've yet to see a turbodiesel half ton Ram on the road. I went to college with a guy that...
Cheap aftermarket gears are just that: cheap aftermarket gears. Richmond or Spicer are my choice. If it's a newer GM it's probably got factory gears from AAM. Anything that is factory is going to...
Can usually find Remington Game Loads for around $5.50/box. I find they reload nice, not as nice as AAs though.
You're about 70hp short. Something is amiss. I made 372rwhp with a Summit el-cheapo 383 as I called it. Eagle cast crank, Summit's version of a 272H cam, ARP studs on crank and rods, 20 hours on a...
Nice find. I can't believe it isn't mangled from 50 "farmers" cobbling it together. Modern rubber isn't bad to mount on those wheels.
Looks like one too many one-wheel-peels.
Get the fancy expensive seal with the sock on it.
Chances are, the seal is leaking because the shaft is pushed into the case more than it used to be and is running on rust. When you remove the...
You have a 1/2 ton vehicle with a 6.5TD and a 4L80e in it. There is nothing 3/4 ton about it other than it has torsion bars and keys to hold up the engine. It's not even a high GVW vehicle like the...
Sounds like a universal joint to me.
But anyway, I'd just buy a whole set of gears on an open or G80 differential, complete with shims, and put it in your case. A little slop never hurt a 200hp...
6.5L Blazer so one of the super rare GMT400s? It's probably 3.42s.
Gear Ratios:
Code Ratio
GU2 2.73
GU4 3.08
GU5 3.23
GU6 3.42
GT4 3.73
GT5/GT8 4.10
I saw something heavily camouflaged with a long hood, a wide body, and a short rear that sounded interesting. It reminded me of a R8 or ZR1 with its complete lack of laboring to get up to speed. It...
I've seen the SRT version with flat black fascias, it is pretty sweet.
Going by what you said, keep the original DR rods that came with the Quadrajet in the car and put a G hanger on it. A B hanger will probably be too rich.
That cam is a relatively lopey cam, it's...
I've welded real tubes (read: D60 HD) with nickel rod and had them break right next to the weld. But 6,000lb vehicle bouncing violently with nearly unlimited traction at ~16,000ftlbs of torque at...
Out of curiosity, why didn't you just cut the tubes off and weld on new flanges?
Lee is in Hartford.
MEC is in Mayville.
Richard Lee is a pretty cool guy. He's a little more dedicated. He won't make anything that isn't inexpensive and works well. Even if you buy a MEC...
Spend the money on a Lee. After the aggravation of using anything else you will appreciate it. Plus, Lee Precision is a Wisconsin company.
I think its travel is ~28" to ~46". It's a multiple bypass damper with a lot of volume so it has some pretty weird dynamics (as compare to a ~1.5" diameter 6" travel car damper).
What length stroke does it test over? I have a couple 18" stroke 2.5" Fox remote reservoir that I should probably tune as I get a lot of chatter on the left rear under WOT going uphill. But to be...
Wally-world sells a house brand 265x75r16E for cheap, for future reference. They change manufacturers periodically, the Uniroyal ones are pretty good.
I have amassed a sufficient supply of non-shotgun ammunition. It's time to start hoarding some 12 gauge now that it's dropping in price.
I'm pretty new to shotguns and are pretty ignorant to...
