  1. It's a racket. Saving $50 will cost you $100. What do you do when you get a blem? Who pays shipping both ways? What do you do when you get one that will not balance? Who offers or services any limited road hazard that comes with the new tire? Cost of mount and balance is about $20, add $80 to the cost of your savings, then find a shop willing to mount someone else's tires. I have built a relationship with Larry, the owner of Brookes Automotive where I have buy my tires, he has patched tires at no cost, last week I picked up a razor blade, slash, two new tires and he put me ahead of others to take care of me. Penney wise, dollar foolish.
  2. That's the type of thing that I'd pay for, they do it all the time and know what they're doing.
  3. It would be helpful to know what area of the country you reside.
  4. That is not going to solve your fuse block problem. Get a good used block and go through it correctly. It's the only way.
  5. Excellent!
  6. Are you paying for a service?
  7. Why is it up to 2" forward? and it sounds like the pinion angle is wrong. Adjustable upper and lower arms?
  8. In response to missing content in a how-to thread.
  9. My son gets used hand-me-down computers, he takes them apart, swaps parts, gets them running again, as a hobby. I had him read through this and he says without his hands on it.......he doesn't know. For me, when one dies as it did a few weeks ago, I just get another new one. My Dell cost me $330 and for what I do with it, it's fine. Forums, parts search, managing images, learning to edit vids, streaming radio and news and vids......etc. We have a couple of laptops in the house, I'm never the destructive type but I could put bullet holes in those F'ing things. Never understood the attraction. I have no idea why you guys are reluctant to use Windows 10, much more intuitive. Don't know why your're doing what your're doing............ain't worth the hassle.
  10. Are you trying to boot with two hard drives each with its own OS?
  11. My speedo bounced from 0-40mph, beyond that it was good. I swapped out my cable, set the gear, made no difference. Others have reported the bouncing too, I've yet to read that a new cable solved the problem. Could be the gear, could be the cable, could be the speedo itself.
  12. TC shifter is not dependent of the transmission, regardless of which transmission. It should align with the console. Just so you know, whatever you do, however your do it, you ain't doing it in one day.
  13. Cheap and necessary, since we are not building rockets, good enough. https://www.lowes.com/pd/General-Tools-Instruments-6-in-Digital-Caliper/50175967
  14. Two schools of thought- Those who drive trail-trash remove the SB. Those of us who don't, keep it. Just looked at a pic of yours, not trail-trash. Keep it. Nothing to be confused about, you have a caliper? If yours measures 28mm, buy a pair of bushings @ 28mm. If yours does not measure 28mm, find one that does. Yes, it matters. I plan on doing a short vid on the rear SB this weekend to replace a missing post on the How To page, I'll attempt to explain.
  15. Just use your old one, you'll be fine.
  16. You'll gain 1 degree of advance...........eh............. Just get it running, then play.
  17. That's not how it works.
  18. As one who uses sealants all the time................. Silicone, with one or two exceptions, is useless. Silicone, in any form, should NEVER come in contact with an automobile. The polyurethane, just know that you'll likely have to cut the bulkhead off the firewall if you ever need to remove it again. Butyl is solvent based, any oil or gas or solvent will break it down. Making gaskets is cheap and easy. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/31939655 Or call Painless.
  19. Contact Painless, they sell that bulkhead, surely they sell the gasket too.
  20. OK, looks like I took a pic of the wrong part of it. Was here a nylon cover over the ball at the end of the shifter? If not, the ball will wear out the cup which is what it looks like has happened.
  21. My wife with her sons at Hurlburt. The man to her left is AF. The short pudgy boy is mine except that he's not short and pudgy anymore. :)
