I did not shorten my drive shaft, I am in rural maine so pretty hard to find someone that can do that for me. But yes I need to take a inch off it at least

I know but in theory the shorter time to reopen, the shorter time the coolant sits in the radiator cooling

So question, Could running a 160 thermostat cause your car to overheat at idle in traffic. Mine does 440 mild cam internals etc. It runs 180 while moving all day but as soon. As I stop and idle it climes. My theory is since I have a 160 in it, it does not allow the coolant to stay in the...

Update: I put everything back together, set the axle backlash at .010, went to check the captains side and it was .090 I was confused. I understand how the thrust spacer works and watched a bunch of videos and noticed they were all turning the adjuster on the drinkers side clockwise...... so I...

Ok update, I ordered some thrust buttons. Today I took out the axles and removed the third member. Took a look at it and it has thrust buttons in it. However the axle adjustment was all the way in ( max slop) so I am i guess going to put it all back together and adjust it correctly. Oh and the...

Question, did he use green bearings? If not did he have to put in the thrust button things to the yukon unit?

Here is a video of it. I guess I will re- do the adjustment on the passenger axle see if that helps at all. It's got two bottles of yukons friction modifier in it

its defiantly the LSD thats causing the issue ( will ONLY happen when turning) but why is my question .. and what the heck do i need to do to fix it .. i will pull the tire off and re-do the tension in the axle ( the pass axle tensioner) but would that cause the LSD to not work ? do i need to...

This is definitely not a slight groan, you can see it shake the wheel you are turning in on. Drives strait no issue no noise

Let me first start by saying i can turn a wrench but i am no expert on any of this and i need help. I have a 1973 dodge charger originally a 318 car was converted to a 440 with a mild cam and built internals. I have replaced all the wiring , breaks and other things since i have had it. The...

one thing i cant stand is LED headlights .. besides how they look every single time i pass a new subaru or f150 at night i am completely blind

the good thing about my taillight assembly is the LED board just plugs into the existing light sockets there was no modification needed except running a wire for the sequence memory

true but 11 bucks for 10 of them so i have 8 left over lol. just the front ones .. back array was pricey so i get your point

so i have been running no front plate for a while and decided to build a bracket to mount one .. pretty easy just a bent piece of metal and was able to bolt it to existing holes in the bumper. Now i am VERY partial to the trend where one lights up the plate with very bright very white LED's i...

Just wanted to post an update on the old 73. I replaced all the wiring with a new American auto wire kit, took a couple months but every thing works now. Replaced the instrument cluster with Autometer 7030 Replaced the intake with a edelbrock (performer i believe) Bought a sequential LED tail...
