I assume Mike will agree with this. Transfer case in neutral, ****** in park. Otherwise, the parasitic drag will destroy the ******. Ask how I know - my company had what we called our Extreme Tailgaiting Vehicle with a matching Jeep for a toad. First trip out, they blew the transmission by...

I’ve been working on rebuilding the front suspension on the ‘66 Charger since the alignment shop said they couldn’t dial it in properly as the bushings were shot. I got it all disassembled until I got to the rear upper control arm bolt. It’s near impossible to access through the engine...

What he said!

I had the same experience in both our houses - the lake house started going first, the remodel was in 2014. I wasn't aware they "expired", but when I learned that, I was ready to replace all of them in the Lucas house when they started chirping!

A couple of months ago, I opened the hood of the Woodie to remove the battery charger before taking a drive. I was met with this - I’ve had the car nearly 5 years and this is the first time I’ve experienced this. I removed the hold down and cleaned it up and put some polish on it. When I took...

What he said - always look forward to your “tales” as you seem to have one for every occasion!!

Thanks, guys. Overall, I’m very pleased other then paint quality, which we will address at some point. Lots of little projects with this one. The Dakota Digital clock doesn’t work - hopefully just a connection issue. Lots of billet aluminum under the hood that hasn’t been attended to in a...

Replacement tires for the ‘49 Caddy finally showed up from Diamondback Classic yesterday. Mobile tire service guy comes Monday so I can get this thing off the jack stands it has been on since early December.

Looking great!! Congrats on getting this much closer to the finish line!

Good luck with your new adventure!!

Don, so glad to see this one jump back to the head of your project list! I assume that's a Flaming River VDOG unit - looks like it fits your application perfectly! Keep it coming!

On the way to our daughter's for dinner last night, we were behind this. What's wrong with this picture?? It's a very nice Cadillac Escalade V Series wrapped in matte black. However, the license plate made me laugh. While he's trying to be a knowledgeable car guy, he got it wrong! XL Z06...

It's been a bit of a busy week. I worked with the tuner most of Monday afternoon to hone in on a tune that didn't rely on the MAF - to me, it appears he did a lot of work with the various tables (particularly the speed density) to get it running really good. We're still trying to chase the...

Thanks, guys! Andy is turning out to be one of the good ones, at least from my perspective. I was a little worried when the new ECM wouldn't fire off, but the quick fix bolstered my confidence in him. Bob, good eye on the headlight bezel! Your "Google Eye" is correct according to the...

Looking great - nice to see it all finally coming together!

Welcome to the area (generally). I’m in Lucas, but drive though Hint Co regularly headed to our place in Mt. Vernon. Looks like you have a great starting point - enjoy the journey!

Once the builder told me he bought the package from Street & Performance, I knew we would be going down a rabbit hole, particularly with them being out of business. Thanks for the referral offer - I talked with Andrew (Andrew Starr - Starr Performance Tuning, www.starrperformancetuning.com)...

Got the old ECM out and new one in and connected. Did a quick start just to make sure it would. Got the dash all reassembled and ready for date with the tuner. Didn't take any pictures as hands were full! Am working with the tuner this morning. The car will start, but will not keep running...

Great space, great collection! Subscribed for updates.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to using it. It’s much nicer then the laminated car fact sheets I normally display on the windshield!!
