My neighbor works for GM. He told me there are thousands of brand new GM trucks they can't sell because they can't provide some stupid relay or part for the lane changing warning something or other. I didn't pay much attention cuz I would probably try to defeat the system anyway if it were on my...

I would worry about changing the geometry of the front suspension by shimming down the K frame. If I was worried about the engine/trans angle being too steep, I would back off on the torsion bar adjusters a few turns to drop the front down. To me shimming the K frame down messes with everything...

Here is a paper copy if you don't want to deal with the online one https://www.ebay.com/itm/140815139563? You may be interested in this also. I love mine. Easy to follow Products

I have no idea what size the orifice is for the return. If it is 1/4" with no orifice to reduce the flow, you will end up starving your engine. If it were me, I would use the the correct PN......this one You could try the aftermarket stuff. they are cheaper for sure but sometimes you end up...

Mopar engineers figured out many years ago the biggest problem with fuel boiling after shut-down was in the fuel pump, not the Carb. That was why they developed the fuel separator and return line and installed it at the fuel pump. The expanded fuel gets sent back to the tank thereby leaving the...

My 60 Dart push button trans does not have a park gear. I noticed when I rev the engine in neutral, it seems to always act like it wants to go forward. I always wondered if it was not properly adjusted. Probably just the nature of it without the park gear.

Bobcat's description reminded me of a big Yellow Tom that roamed in my neighborhood years ago. He was a fat old guy named Dicky. He was friendly to everyone that didn't challenge him. My buddy was visiting one day with his Doberman and Dicky was walking through my back yard. My buddy opened the...

Wow! New one on me for sure. Sorry about your injuries. I imagine you are still dealing with the after effects. Any idea how the tail shaft housing got broken?

I believe you will be dropping the oil pan. At least you got the plug and oil out. I had that happen on my daughter's Grand Cherokee a couple years ago. The nut inside the oil pan was sweat welded at the factory but came loose. I was not able to get the plug out so drilled a hole through the...

I bought my 300C new in 2005. It has served me well for 20 years and I expect it to last the rest of my life. It averages around 18 mpg. It has all the bells and whistles I need. I don't let it idle for any length of time and change the Mobil one oil at 5000 mile intervals and have never heard a...

I am betting on the bulkhead connections going thru the firewall giving you some intermittent loss of continuity. Usually when a coil or the CPU fails it shuts down immediately.

I'm not sure if anyone reading this thread is still concerned with the ECU failures but from my experience, the biggest problem I found with them is the lack of a good case ground on them such as the pic in KD's post #4, Once I learned that lesson, I have never had one fail. Although I do have...

The Dual diaphragm booster will be a big improvement. Not so sure about 9" of vacuum. If you can double it somehow I think you will be Okay. With a race engine maybe manual brakes are the ticket.

I too have no desire for the sensor laden vehicles of today. My newest is an 05 300C. It has not been problematic since it doesn't have all the junk like tire pressure sensors and steering angle sensors like the newer stuff does. My financial guru was telling me a couple weeks ago that his new...

Not sure what you are suggesting here?? A proportioning valve is already adjusted to tone down the pressure to the rear drums. If you have an adjustable prop valve, you can fine tune the pressure to the rear. It does nothing for your front brakes. If you don't have enough boost for the front...
