10k oil changes, majority stop and go city driving and idling for long periods. My oil samples come back fine. I'm at 120k and so far no engine issues. I don't drive it like I stole it but I also don't putt putt around.
Yes I use "scamsoil" signature series. I've had satisfying results from...
In all the cars I've driven that have push button you have to press on brake. Key only I've never had to press the brake. Manual is just pressing clutch.
Yeah not many people know that.
When I lowered my 4th gen fbody I bought an adjustable torque arm to line the rear end up properly. Many do without it but it helped tremendously in traction and having zero vibrations.
My 05 GTO is lowered and I switched to a once piece carbon driveshaft. I...
I guess it depends if your lifted. My truck is leveled so I don't need the spacer kit. I don't need street and track, just street. I think I'll skip out on the bearing. So it's $229 plus shipping vs $729 plus shipping for the driveshaft.
I drive on the hwy a lot and the steel shaft mph limit...
I feel your pain man.. I've had my fair share of mistakes and regrets when working on my cars.
It's not brittle. It's plastic and will not take much pressure to crack it. I've worked on many cars with that sort of plastic and you have to be very careful when dealing with it. I do not ever put...
Lmao! I have the same style pan. A few times I've taken out the drain pan plug but didn't open the vent and same result... Oil every where.
The worst is scrambling to get under there and having to lay in the oil.
I seen that too and I am interested. Would be a lot cheaper then buying a new drive shaft.
But I was under the impression the bearing is not removable without damaging the driveshaft.
One issue with a 2 piece drive shaft is the vibration. I'm wondering how much this setup will lessen that.
Funny you bring that up.. Windows up I don't hear anything. Tonite on my way home from riding my bike I had the windows down as it was a cool night. I heard a little whistle... So i floored it and it got a tiny bit louder.... I got home much faster this evening. Lol
They did stop making them...
I got the revolution motorsports turbo inlet in today and replaced the hose by the clutch fan.
I take back what I said about the Mishimoto intake. The more I drove it the more I noticed it had more pep in its step.
The turbo inlet was a nice upgrade too. When I floor it you can feel it...
Working on my Ranger today and as I'm standing on a milk crate stretched out over the engine, arms twisted up in positions they weren't designed for. .... A broken hose catches my eye. The one on the fan 😮. The tip of it broke off the metal nub. I cut the end off, put it back on and zip tied it...
I'm so glad I found this post! I bought a revolution motorsports turbo inlet tube. When I seen that orange connector and read it had to be broken off. I had to put everything back in, being it was a Sunday, and all the dealers were closed.
Bought a revolution motorsports turbo inlet off of Facebook and a member here. He also had a mishimoto intake and figured "why not". It was delivered on Saturday, it all looks brand new and packed superbly well. I get up this morning and get to taking everything out. Unfortunately one of the...
