Bird 426: It's definitely gear oil that's seeping out, I have not taken it apart yet so I don't know what's in there - want to get the parts first as I can still drive it like that (fluid level in diff never seems to drop). Although it made a mess inside on the inside of the wheel - does not...

Hello Mopar Gurus: My left axle seal is leaking, the brake cylinder was also leaking so I replaced it but realize that it is also the axle seal leaking as well. While I'm in there I want to replace the drum brake hardware (shoes are fine - like new but adjuster is frozen and other bits crusty)...

Hello Mopar Gurus: For a few years now my speedo has a random issue whereby it suddenly starts howling and the needle jumps around. When I come to a complete stop then continue driving it can disappear then suddenly reappear. It went away for a long while now it is back. When it works it is...

Hawk Rod et al, don't let this fizzle out - let's do it! I am in Worcester, MA and will drive anywhere in the Northeast to meetup and take time of as well if necessary. Camping sounds great to keep the comradery and the party going - who's in?!?

Hello Mopar Tribe: Last year I flushed the cooling system in preparation for Carlisle road trip (420 miles each way) then the heater core started leaking. I bypassed it at the firewall and decided now that I would like to repair or replace it. I drive the car a lot and need to have a good...

Hello Mopar Tribe: I am replacing a leaky rear wheel brake cylinder and will be attempting to bleed by myself and have some questions: 1. Do I need to have the car running in order for the vacuum to run the booster? When the engine is off the brakes barely work under normal conditions... BTW I...

3:91s are perfect for around town and backroads to 55/60 mph, BUT NOT HIGHWAYS! I have a 4 speed and at 70 mph taching at ~ 3900 RPMs. A 3:55 would be better for the street. I drive my car and wish I had a 5th gear, always avoid highways on cruises.

My '71 bird leans and it appears that the shackles are 2 different lengths! I started to shop around for a pair and wondering where the Mopar tribe recommends the best place(s) to get them? Ebay $50 Fits 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 B-Body Leaf Spring Shackles NEW | eBay Ebay$60...

Hello Mopar Tribe! It started on Thanksgiving 2021 while driving avoiding highways from Holden, MA to Gouldsboro, PA. Suddenly I heard a loud growling sound that I could not tell where from it was coming from, then noticed the speedometer needle was dancing all over the place. It continued...
