    Anyone familiar with A413 auto trans? Supposedly a 904 in a FWD case...

    Anyhoo, this is in my '90 Voyager turbo and I figured I'd ask here as well as on the turbo sites, to get a consensus. 3 speed non-lockup. Van had an issue of wrong-gear starts for a while; would always start from a stop, in second. I'd drive around the problem by manually putting it in first...

    Gasoline spill in workshop, OSB subflooring

    So, I was working in my shop yesterday on a motorcycle. Moved some stuff around, including an old fuel tank. Apparently, I hit the lever on the petcock and opened the valve....and it dumped a good bit (I'd say over 2 gal) of stale unleaded all over the floor. Of course, it soaked into the wood...

    Scan tool recommendation?

    So, this is (obviously) for a late-model car... My Matco OBD-II scanner is in Texas, with Michelle's daughter. She had it for the drive to college last fall, in the 08 Durango, because it had an intermittent evap code and I wanted her to be able to clear it if needed, during the trip to school...

    Plumbers - building code question, sprinkler pipes

    So, at work, we have a 2" water feed line that runs the length of our performance room (I work in a live music venue). Figure...a 100' run. There are (4) 90 degree bends in the pipe, to clear what used to be a roll-up garage door - instead of going straight, it comes in, turns left; turns right...

    Debate. LA 360, or 5.9 Magnum?

    So, I have one of each. This is for my 72 Satellite wagon. Current motor in the car is a mild LA 360, unknown specs. Dual plane, manifolds not headers, no crazy cam, iron heads but I'd have to check for casting numbers. Runs....meh. I could build this up. Or, I have a (admittedly high...

    Judgement call - home heat pump repair

    So, my heat pump has been acting up. Aux heat works, but it's $$$$ so I had a company I've worked with in the past, come out and diagnose. Turns out, the control board on the exterior unit took a power hit and is DOA. $109 diag trip, I'm good with that and it's paid and done. He checked...

    Anyone replace garage door springs themselves?

    So, my workshop door has a broken spring. My garage has 4 single-car doors total - built like a bank barn, it has 3 doors on the lower level, and one on the upper level. This upper level is my workshop, and where I park my work truck as well as keep my pro audio equipment. This upper door is...

    Maybe bit off more than I can chew...Dana 35 rebuild

    So, not a B body but it is a Mopar - my 06 Wrangler. D35 rear was roaring, so I pulled it open. Ring and pinion teeth look pristine so I'm going for bearings. Outer axle bearings (they're easy and cheap), inner pinion and outer pinion (common fail point). Carrier bearings look and feel great (my...

    Anyone have a discount code for Classic Industries?

    Going to order a fuel sender for the Charger (dead gauge), they have the OER units in stock. Anyone have a discount code they aren't using? Better yet, anyone have a reason NOT to use the OER sending unit? Just a stock, 5/16", no return line unit for the 318 Charger 500... Thanks!

    Wipers run at random

    So, I have a 3 speed wiper car. 3 speed switch. When I got it...it had a 2 speed motor in it. I recently changed it to a 3 speed motor...but now, the wipers will turn on at random, and never turn off until I shut off the key. I've got them unplugged at the bulkhead now, since that plug only runs...

    Steering leak

    Well, I had the Charger on a lift yesterday to check out my fuel sender and while it was up, I checked out my steering to see what was leaking there - I typically have to top off the steering every second or third tank of fuel. Looking at it, there's a small leak at the pump (around the pulley...

    Fuel gauge sender location

    So. My fuel gauge used to work, now it pegs full. I'm guessing a short somewhere, grounding the line and sending full voltage to the gauge. All other gauges work fine. Where is it on the tank, do I have to drop the tank to get to it? Gonna take it to work tomorrow and toss it on a lift after...

    Wood fireplace insert shopping - advice? Experience?

    So, I have a "live" wood fireplace in my living room, marble hearth, stone chimney with terra cotta liner and fire bricks in the burn box, but it's only had a gas log in it to date (house built in 1987). I recently had a chimney inspector check it out so I could start burning wood (4 acres...

    APPARENTLY, it's dead transmission month...

    My '90 turbo Voyager ate its transmission last weekend. Not surprised - it's been on the way out (double the stock boost level didn't help, I'm sure!), I knew it was coming...and now I need to yank it and rebuild it, or rebuild one of the cores I have in the shed. It's a Torqueflite A413 3 speed...

    08 Dakota clutch issues

    OK, so it isn't a B body so I didn't want to put it in the tech area. If the mods want to move it....I'm good with that. Danielle's 08 Dakota V6 4x4 6 speed stick, lost its clutch a few weeks ago. Installed new: flywheel, disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and complete hydraulics (master...

    Anyone near Texas Tech / Lubbock?

    Michelle's daughter is getting ready to head that way. Just got accepted for the fall. Plan is for her to drive her 210k mile 08 v6 Dakota...it's...ok, but we're currently going through some clutch issues and once sorted there won't be much time to shake it down before the trip. New clutch, new...

    Any Ram truck / Dana diff folks?

    So, I have a chronic problem with my 2001 Ram 2500's front axle (D60, I believe). The 4x4 actuator keeps leaking fluid. Like...a LOT. I have it fixed...a couple months later, it's pissing fluid again. Used the truck for a gig last weekend, parked it in the garage, and next day I found puddles...

    '70 Charger 318/auto stock survivor...exhaust advice?

    So I've had my car for 3 or 4 years now and been tolerating the Uncle Clem exhaust system on it. Looks to be either 2.25 or 2.5" duals, no crossover, chambered mufflers (Flowmasters or clones). It's crooked. It's janky. It drones bad enough to walk your fillings out of your teeth. I'm done with...

    Anyone done those leaf filter things on your gutter?

    They seem to do everything BUT publish pricing, anywhere. My house, I've been here a dozen years and not had any leaves in my gutters because the trees are distant, and being on top of a hill there's always a breeze to clear 'em out. But, I've planted maples close-in for future shade, and I'm...

    WTB Jeep TJ soft top rails

    Have a currently-hardtop-only 06 TJ, non-unlimited (short wheelbase). I'm looking for a set of the rails that go on the top of the tub, across the tailgate, and across the windshield header, so I can put on a tonneau cover and a bikini top for summer use. If anyone has some laying around...
