    My reverse shift rod has left the conversation...

    I took The Beast out for a drive on this sunny spring day. Shifting out of first and into second under moderate acceleration I feel a pop in the shifter followed by the sound of something dragging on the road. I immediately slow down and pull to the shoulder and the car hops a bit and I come to...

    Well, poop.....

    So, I'm driving through town to a buddies house in my 2015 RAM when I see police lights behind me. I assume they're going to another scene as I haven't been pulled over in 30 years and I can't think of a thing I was doing wrong. I pull onto a side street to get out of the way and dang it it all...

    makes me want to cry

    I found this on my local Facebook market place. I'm hoping he didn't cut it in half just to get the engine out, but I have a pretty good hunch he did. Obviously has no idea how much the fenders and doors are worth. (and I need a good passenger door). Dodge Mopar 360 motor

    Leaking exhaust valves

    Hey all, After doing a leak down test on my 512 and having poor results on a few cylinders I decided to take the heads off to see what's what. I found some odd deposits on the combustion chamber. They're not gouges or pits and wipe off but what caused it? I tested a few of the valves and...

    Rusty exhaust valves??

    Hey all, I've been noticing a change in the exhaust note on my 512 and some blow-by over 3000rpm. I built the engine myself a few years ago and have around 1500 miles on it. Some of it full tilt boogie on the back roads. I did a leak down test and found cylinders 7 and 8 really bad (like...

    Is there a chassis dyno anywhere near me?

    Hey folks, I'm wanting to get my Charger on a chassis dyno for some tuning. I found one or 2 but they specialize in tuner cars with very limited carburetor/muscle car experience. I'm in Orange County, NY (10918). If anyone knows of a dyno within an hour of me I'd appreciate it thanks

    Hey folks, I have the Motive products power bleeder and love it! Only issue was trying to use it on my Wilwood master. The adapter Motive recommends didn't work very well. It leaked like crazy regardless on the number of clamps I used. I found on YouTube a guy that made a custom adapter...

    The dreaded P0420 code

    So.... My 07 Charger R/T shot a P0420 code at me 2 months ago. It has 260,000 miles on it and I've taken obsessive levels of care with it since new. At the time I bought it Chrysler was offering a life time bumper to bumper warranty which I happily purchased. This car has given so few issues...
