I use a cheap AEM wideband to tune my Holley 770 and 870 on my '79 Ranchero, it has been VERY reliable, have had it 7 years with no issues. It has helped me achieve extra power and MPG out of my 472 BBF/C6 combo, with no OD, I got 15.2 mpg(doing 70-75mph) on a long interstate trip from central...

Nascar is looking more and more like the IROC series and we all know how successful that series was, even with the best drivers from around the world competing against each other. IMO, bring the cars back to resemble the mid to late 70's, even the early 80's look. No more crazy spoilers and...

Go to your local Lowes and pick up some L.C. Wax spray, it is made for lubricating aluminum products.

The reason I mentioned the XRF's is that I have used Spicer(non-greasable like stock bj's) and Moog's(greasable), but surprisingly they both needed replaced after just 20-25K miles, the XRF ball joints have been installed for over 75K miles and still no issues(truck has 318K). The XRF's are very...

I purchased one from Harbor Freight to do the ball joints in my 2000 Ford SD 7.3 4x4, I have used it on 4 trucks now with no complaints, the SD ball joints are NOT the easiest to remove/install. Side note, try to use XRF ball joints, the best I have found for my application(diesel 4x4) and come...

I now buy all my automotive batteries at Rural King due to outrageous price increases and lower quality batteries I have been previously buying (AZ -Duralast Golds or Advance Auto/CARQUEST). The RK batteries made by Exide may not be the best batteries out there but I am not paying $150 a piece...

Best set(s), Bridgestone Revo2's(truck) and Alenza Plus(Sequoia) Worst, it's a tie. First set of tires were bias ply G60-14 recaps(1984) and a set for my lifted F250 4x4 15/38.5/16.5 bias ply Super Swampers

I had the same issues with Michelin tires, even my equipment trailer tires fair MUCH better then any Michelin tires I have owned(and they see much more abuse with sometimes not being moved for 6 months), as far as cracking on sidewall or in tread areas. All 4 sets I bought over the years had...

Originally Posted By: Trav I read the pads are bonded to the metal with phenolic resin glue, the problem is rust from the metal around the pad begins to creep under it and pushes it off the metal, the loose hardened glue just falls away. A few pads are riveted and tend to hold up a lot better...

I have often used ST 15w-40 oil in our various diesel and non-diesel equipped vehicles. I have over 304K miles on my '00 F250 w/ 7.3 and I have tried numerous brands of conventional and synthetic oils throughout this mileage, I have found no discernible differences between any of them other than...

Eastwood for the win, I bought and use this one, worth EVERY penny I paid!

Drain and refill with Maxlife full synthetic ATF, my '02 has 198K and I change the ATF every 20-25K, maybe a little frequent but better than having trans troubles. Also use the Maxlife in PS system.

I run 245-40-20 General G-max tires and have been very happy with them, they were my first ever online tire purchase along with a set of Boyd Coddington wheels. I have had them 3+ years and approx. 15K miles and they still give a smooth ride with no balance issues. At the time of purchase, these...

I have had Michelin LTX's and the LTX MS2's on my wife's Sequoia, both were very good but expensive tires. I realize quality and piece of mind are worth more than saving a few dollars when your family is involved in a tire choice. Needing a new set of tires, I did some searching online and found...

1103 miles in 19.5 or so hours pulling a 20' gooseneck trailer from Weatherford, Texas to Summerfield, Fl. It was a long day for sure and pulling a trailer definitely adds to the agony of a long trip. Would have been a bit shorter trip but wrecks on I-10 in Louisiana made it longer(can't just...

I have had good luck using an anti seize lubricant like "Never Seez" on both my front and back sway bar bushings. If you have ever got some on your fingers you already know it will stay on the bushing/sway bar surface. Todd

I had a similar problem with on and off shaking(out of balance issue). Had the tires(Michelin LTX MS2) re-balanced and rotated, still had shaking at highway speeds. I was getting ready to go on a road trip and decided to inspect my brakes, once done with the brakes and after re-installing the...

Nascar, as we know it now, is nothing more than a re-packaged form of the old IROC series. There's the biggest reason for Nascar's decline, in my opinion.
