  1. Really? Why is that?
  2. What about the pipe threads ?
  3. What is recommended on fuel system threads?
  4. I think if you look closely you can see the Alcoa sticker on the 2nd set. Where are your rims cracking?
  5. IIRC there was a discussion sometime in the past on this site, about the seals for that "T" and it was suggested that a person could just slice some washers off of the end of a hose of the proper size, due to the high cost of the factory washer. Don't recall if anyone actually tried it.
  6. I'm sorry, I thought you were swapping in a 5600. What is the G56 out of?
  7. How come I can't see the photos?
  8. Couldn't you have used the crossmember off a 6 speed truck?
  9. Thanks for the measurements. I may actually try this sometime when I don't have anything else to do. Really like the idea
  10. Colorado plates? Have you towed with them yet?
  11. Wondering if you have distance from front and side of bed so can more easily locate opening
  12. Happy fatherhood!! Cherish every minute. In a very short time he'll be all grown up!
  13. Is this something you fabbed, if so do you have location, dimensions, etc. It looks great
  14. I'll take a look at your article when I get a chance. Thank you
  15. There is a rest area a couple miles up the road. Good idea
  16. $100 for alignment and all they can adjust is toe. I would like to do that myself, but one of the trade offs of renting in the mountains is we don't have any flat spots. Everything is on a slope.
  17. Just used to doing my own and have a real hard time letting anyone else work on my vehicles. Just had a few things screwed up over the years. Nothing serious but very annoying, mostly not doing what they said they would.
  18. Royal Squire posted a topic in Ford
    My wife took our 03 f150 in for an alignment as front tires were showing a little wear, and shop told her lower ball joints were shot and they could fix her up for $650!! Ball joints are less than $50 each. Even though I really don't have time, I replaced them myself as I don't have the money either. Doesn't that seem a little steep? They wouldn't install the parts if I brought them in either. Curious what you all think .
  19. What do you recommend on a log house?
  20. Does that "feature"cost extra?
  21. If it happens when turning might be axle joint
  22. Haven't found any on this one but I have on other vehicles. I have cleaned and made a pretty good solder joint on some bu not easy.
  23. Sometimes you can cut out quite a bit and copper is still kinda black.
  24. Have Isspro EV gauges and wondering where the best place to install pyrometer amplifier? Would like to use someone else's experience if possible. Thank you
