Well it's been a very long time coming... almost 12 years. But I finally made 10,000 posts :rofl:Really stalled out in the 9,000s... been 4.5 years according to my post history
So this is a topic that I'm not at all well versed in and have had little interest in previously... but damn if the sun doesn't seem to cook the shit out of me even with the ac on lately. (Yes the ac is fine, even checked it with a vent thermometer) So I've been looking into getting the windows...
Put new rubber on the pickup... Went with BFG KO2s... I've always had good service out of the BFG so I figured why mess with a good thing. I went from the stock 275/65R18 to a 275/70R18 such as come on the Super Duty. About an inch larger in diameter, which I thought would be a nice change since...
So my mom recently picked up a 2010 Explorer. Pretty nice, very low miles for the year. Around 70k I think. I was checking it out the other day and noticed on cold start (very cold, it was around 5°) there is a fairly loud tick or click noise. Pretty random interval... and seems to go away as...
So this is for any of you that are on Facebook or are not against it... To the rest of you I understand your position but you will be of no use to me here :rofl:We are continually trying to feature pictures and articles on the sites Facebook page that are interesting to the community in an...
1996 7.3... All but the last plug came out no problem. Last one the sleeve threaded out and left the element in the head. It is very stuck - none of the normal things have worked. Almost all of the other plugs were bad, so I know it will start ok on 7 out of 8. Question is can I thread the...
I don't do this sort of thing much these days but I figured I would bring to everyone's attention that I have passed the 9,000 post mark today. Just goes to show quality really is secondary to quantity :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
Anyone have seat covers on a Gen12 and if so what brand? Looking for something durable and well fitting, price isn't an issue within reason. Want to keep the interior nice on my new truck... My occupation does take a toll on upholstery :DLooking at floor mats too, but I've actually been...
For any of you that haven't been following my truck shopping/buying thread, here is the product of months worth of research and indecision :)2011 F150 XLT SuperCrew, 3.5L Ecoboost. I'm in love with it... Couldn't be more perfect. It was covered in snow and salt when I picked it up Saturday as...
So my sisters supercrew has a wheel bearing out on the left front. What is involved in changing this? Done lots of wheel bearings, just don't know if it's individual bearings or a unit hub?Give me a quick rundown guysThanksEdit: it is 4x4
Well my little sister called me this evening and asked if I'd go look at a vehicle with her... It's a 2001 F150 SuperCrew 5.4L lariat.I fed her some basic questions to ask the guy... Apparently it's got 165k on it. Price is a little low because of an exhaust leak somewhere near the engine...
Well Duncan is going to have a fit but oh well :rofl2:I have acquired another non ford product recently. 1995 GMC Subby, 454/auto.
They just seem to follow me home :D But in my defense I'm probably not keeping this one long... Might pull an Austin on it smilieneenarIt had a little...
Have a question here...My 4 wheeler has aluminum wheels. They're painted black from the factory. Like so:I'm wondering how crazy I am to think a guy could strip them and polish them to look like this: (same wheel but factory polished)My first thought is that it's probably more work than...
Well the ac quit on my '87 non ford. Condenser is cracked and let the freon out. This is the second one that has done this... Bad design I'm thinking. Hard to believe, I know.I have no spare to replace it with this time and so I need ideas on fixing it. JB Weld is out. Tried that already :D...
Got roped into replacing the clutch in one of the work trucks. 1996 F250 7.3, ZF5.The throw out bearing was toast (came out in several pieces) which is what prompted tearing into it, but the clutch never slipped. Got it apart and the clutch disk was 80% or better. Like new almost.Which...
Doesn't exist. I know.I'm looking for tires for my Suburban. It needs em pretty bad, and winter is fast approaching.I'll start by saying if I was buying right now, I would buy BFG All Terrain KO in 285/70/17But I'm really overthinking the whole thing, so I'm here to solicit your...
Not a "fan" of electric fans, but I think one would be perfect for my situation.Working on my '87 GMC Subby. It cools the engine great, it has the 4 tube core radiator, basically GMs equivalent of the old "desert cooler" rad that was in the old dentsides.But the ac needs all the help it...
Just broke the back window of my '98 suburban :headbang:Is there any place I could order a replacement? It's just a glue in window, not a big deal to install. I don't want to get bent over by any of the local glass shops or junkyards...Suggestions?
All the old pictures being posted lately, thought I'd throw in one of my own. Not old to most of you, but a great pic none the less.This was my dads... 1993 or 1994 - don't know for sure. F150 SuperCab Flareside. 351w/e4od. Performance Red.This is a shot of it just hours after he bought...
I know, I know, but at least I trust you guys. If I go to the chevy forum I never know if those guys know why they are talking about or not.My 98 Suburban was runnin pretty rough... Figured it needed cap/rotor/wires. This is a yearly thing, cause I always buy the cheapest ignition parts...
The guys have been *****ing to me that one of our work trucks isn't running right... Sometimes, with no rhyme or reason, it loses power, can't break 2000 rpm. This may go on for 5 minutes or an hour... At first it seemed to be worse when cold, I suggested maybe fuel filters, they replaced them...
The big boss on our site is driving one... An airport rental. I guess it's a 2012 or 2013... Me and one of the guys got to drive it a little the other day and I was pretty inpressed. Real zippy, it had an Eco boost 4 banger and I think it was awd... Handled nice and was really roomy in the front...
Looking at buying a boat... always wanted one, and the neighbor has a good looking one...
Looks about 70s vintage... bayliner, maybe 20 feet. has a merc i/o setup- looks like a gm iron duke 4 banger... says 120 hp on it. Guy says he hooked water up to it and ran the engin but dodoesnt know if...
My 1987 GMC Suburban 2500. I had the leaf springs built up because I was always hauling tools and pulling trailers. Now I finally have it back on the road (pics to come) and it's empty, and the ride is killing me. I have to hold my nose shut to keep from losing my liver...
So the springs have...
I know some of you don't like to see anything non-Ford related on here, and I apologize to those of you who feel that way. That being said, I've asked this on a few Chevy/GMC forums and nobody seems to know. Big surprise...
My 1987 GMC Suburban. It has a THM 400 transmission, which is...
workin on a guy's s10 blazer with him... It wouldn't idle at all. to keep it running, you had to keep the gas pedal down a little so it would run at 1200 rpm or higher. Had code p1406 which is EGR so pulled the egr, sre enough it was stuck open. cleaned it, and it ran like 100 bucks. ok 99... it...
So I've been working on my 87 Suburban to get it ready to drive this winter... It's been rather neglected, so I'm doin the body work and gonna paint it. The other big issue it has is the fact that the pump cracked in the trans...
It gets 7 mpg. So Im thinking since it needs a trans anyway, why...
