My wife and I each had a couple of vacation days that need to be used before the end of the year or we'll lose them and I'll be damned if I was going to let that happen so we took Friday off and went for a drive. Going up over Logan Canyon we found ourselves smack in the middle of a winter...

I am all for changing the minimum amount of variables at a time. I look for a "better or worse" then I know if I'm going in the right direction or not when changing things. I tend to go a bit undersize with filler and thinner materials anyways as I've found it easier to get consistent results...

I do. What exactly do you need bored? Mike

I was able to move on to the next job on my white board over the weekend. This project is for a fellow RME forum member who needed a new bolt pattern drilled in a couple of Dana 60 hubs. A few holes were welded up to go from the standard 8 on 6.5” bolt pattern to the 5 on 150 for his Toyota...

Very nice work on both the housing and the bearing housings. You'll love the Millermatic M211. I added one to my arsenal of welders about 2 years ago in which I run the smaller .023" wire in because I was tired of switching around on my MM250 from the .030" wire. I haven't welded anything...

I'm not sure what your running for steering but in my street rod I didn't put power steering in it to keep the engine bay clean as clean as possible but did install a rack with lower gear ratio for easier turning. If memory serves I bought the rack unit from Flaming River Products but it's been...

I had good results using Spicers in TJ/LJ's. In my son's LJ we ran Synergy BJ's and had no issues whatsoever in the four years he owned that Jeep. In my JKUR I run the adjustable Teraflex ones and have been pleased with them so far. Mike

I know there's a lot of hate towards the D44 axles but they hold up well against V8 HP and torque. Some of us don't drive with a heavy foot and don't want the extra weight that 1-ton's bring into the equation. Also worth noting is that the new Hemi powered Wrangler also has full-time 4WD which...

My 2011 has the older shifter in it and doesn't have the 2012+ FCA bumpshift shifter. Mike

If memory serves I purchased those from my local NAPA when they were on sale. They're not cheap but they sure are convenient. Mike

Removed the injectors las night and cleaned the injector cups to accept the new injectors when they arrive. Mike

Thank you.

Others may disagree but I would hate having the shifters mounted to the steering wheel, unless they stay stationary with the column, then they may not be as bad. I know there are a lot of people when swapping in LS engines into their Jeeps they have their cruise control switches programmed in...

The Bosch injectors that are in there now are the new version and they were purchased new back in March 2019 and installed in April 2019. Only 15,335 miles on this set and the vendor is denying a warranty because of time. Complete BS with new injectors and I'm a bit pissed off especially when...

When I built my shop a few years ago I ran conduit under my concrete to where I want to put a standalone whole house (and shop) NG generator one day. I keep saving up for one but the money ends up going elsewhere instead. When we redid the main power meter we anticipated the transfer switch...

More testing but at least we’ve discovered the problem. We again tested total fuel return back at the tank and although it was within the allowable specifications and less than the test we performed prior to the high pressure pump replacement, we decided to dig deeper. We began to test the...

On Sunday afternoon my son came over and serviced his Jeep before Sunday dinner. Last night we finished installing his new CP3 pump on his LB7 Duramax. Some pictures of when we were diagnosing. Clamped off and pressurizing the supply side to verify no leaks. Hooked up clear line...

Last week's work. My son and I were doing some work on his truck. Removing fan & clutch assembly. After replacing CMP I verified the waveform. We then racked it to replace his muffler with something a little more mellow. On Thursday evening after a test drive in the...

Yes, the Torque app is a great tool for those that want to monitor their engine performance system. Most PID's are available through it and even some troubleshooting if you know what to look for and how to interpret the data. Mike

The PCM detects a fueling event by using the fuel level sensor which then resets the adaptives.
