There's a striker plate on the door and a springy-brass counterpart on the front end of the quarter panel. Mine did not touch. Many rattles. Added two layers of the fuzzy-side velco to both surfaces and car feels like new. All rattles are gone! It's f'n dreamy, it is.

The last 10 months have been life in hell. Was staying with a buddy in Elgin Illinois. Still no closer to recovering any of the $58000 my ex stole out of the house sale escrow. Finally after another $4000 in atty charges and 18 months of trying got child support reduced to proper 25% instead of...

Got some necessary shopping done and had oil changed. Bought lunch and parked by the river to eat. Took a one minute video of the snow falling into the river. Stopped maybe 7 minutes. Push the button and R-r- r. ? r-r-..... ? r..... ? That's all, bye bye.... No warning at ALL this time. Buddy...

Hundred year old barns.... abandoned chicken coops. The smell of crude oil. Sickly sweet, with everything still in it. The smell of steel in the furnace...smells like nosebleed. Steel being cut off with a grinder brings back that same smell, and it really gets my attention. Old muscle cars...

Decided I was not going to deal with the effect of having a stretchy throttle cable on my 2013. I hate having to go an inch into the gas pedal before something happens. So I threw $400 at a Hypertech Interceptor. It modifies the signal from the throttle, MAP sensor, airtemp, and cam. Just plugs...

So I had the local Dodge Jeep Ram dealership change the ECU about October in the 2013 Tardis (Charger). Got a letter from Mike Somethingorother that they had a buyer interested in my very car, and the buyer was going to be going on vacation 29th, and look ke to buy it before then, and they'd...

God bless good engineers who write code to to circumvent EPA idiocy. High combustion chamber temperatures equal high efficiency; translation of heat into cylinder pressure and motion. The nitrogen oxides produced are the same gas produced in lightning discharges, which become weak nitric acid...

2013 Dodge is too shrill and embarrasses me. Really need a mid 60s SPARTON hi-lo set that is melodious. Even if I have to buy hi and lo from different people. Help?

Lots of people. I will add a few photos every day. This is the test dyno Hemi from room 13 dyno bay with its GE generator load. Here is a 5.7 Hemi cutaway model next to a beautiful aluminum block slant 6.

First time driving a car thats not 40 or 50 years old. Have 2013 Charger ex Michigan State Police 5.7L hemi where cyl 2 misfire is dependable and repeatable. Been driving it two weeks now, not a sticking valve, new plugs on cyl 2 and coilpack. 28 mpg when I baby it, but only pulling on 7 under...

Used local shop to rewind a stator. I think he paralleled two 18 gauge wires in each leg of the wye, and made each pole grouping have 15 turns. Should really honk at idle. Maybe tomorrow morning. This should decrease field current quite a bit, and decrease VR point wear and sticking as much...

Send prayers, It's getting very stressful.

Laid off May 4. Unemployment until Aug 18. I guess they needed an electrician. Worked 10 hour days Monday to Friday, 14 hours Saturday, and tonight, begin 9 PM to 6 AM shift, or maybe 8 to 5. Gonna be a good first paycheck. No end of failures, faults and mystery problems to diagnose. Find 'em...

Heavy rain last night on way home from work, ran the defroster. No fan this morning. Hmph! Long time since this happened, but I already knew what it had to be. Load side fuse clip was a bit loose. This is what happens when heat builds up at the end of a fuse. I think I've only ever seen this on...
