    Garbage disposals

    I'll have to do some measuring, the larger InSinkErators are quite large which may require re-plumbing the sink drain.

    Mine has lost the brushes in the motor but I can't complain after 33 years.

    Garbage disposals

    Our garbage disposal under the sink is finally showing its age after 33 years of use. I have looked online and get lots of mixed reviews on the currently available models. Even the highest rated models get a fair number of bad reviews. So I thought I would ask you guys what models you have had...

    Spotted

    Went up to the Gorge for a few days of fishing and on our way out we saw a crazy rig that I have never seen before. A guy had a big motorhome pulling a truck with boat on top of it. Now the thing that was unusual wasn't a boat on top of the truck but a good sized boat AND trailer on top of a...

    Coronavirus

    I visited my 90 year old father a couple of days ago and he was visiting with his 94 year old friend and he said something that I had to think about. He said "this quarantine isn't hard to do since its what our lives are like all the time". He lost his wife a while back so he's always alone but...

    Who makes good fuel pumps

    I did a quick check and that pump is supposed to put out 43 GPH at 40 PSI. The Walbro 255 is rated at 67 GPH. Maybe a bit of overkill.

    Who makes good fuel pumps

    From what I have read the Walbro isn't that quiet either. What model of MSD did you use ? does it have adequate flow at pressure for your engine ?

    Who makes good fuel pumps

    Thanks, I too have been reading good stuff about the 255 Walbro and have been talking to the tanks inc guys. If I hadn't just had my tank cleaned and relined I would put in one of their pump units but I don't want to cut the hole in my tank bigger to use one.

    Wanted Looking for a 74-79 waggy front dana 44 passenger drop axle

    I have something quite close. Its a Chevy Dana 44 with passenger drop that has been narrowed to Wagoneer width. It is the 80-91 width so its just a bit wider (+1.5"). The knuckles were rotated to get better caster and pinion angle before I welded it up. The spring perches are missing since I had...

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    You should see what I've had to do to clear the LS exhaust in my CJ8 with 4 link long arms. Just got my front driveline back from the shop and will have to modify things a bit more.:rolleyes:

    Did you have to change the drivers side manifold to a center dump ?

    Gas tank return

    I figured that they do it to keep the pump supplied when the tank is low like Mike says. The custom tank I have drops it into the "bucket" around the pump but does it from above so maybe I need to get it to deliver it next to the pick up instead.

    Wanted 3" 2 degree axle shims

    I have some pro comp 2 degree shims but they are only 1 3/4 wide by 4 1/4 long. You can have them if you want them. I may have some more but I'd have to dig into the parts.

    Gas tank return

    I have noticed that many gas tank sending units have the return line coming out very close to the fuel pump pick up and was curious why. It seems to me that picking up the returned gas would tend to make the pump run hotter. Why not return it away from the pump and let it mix with cooler gas...

    Who makes good fuel pumps

    I've tried to find out what pump they use in the OEM GM units but they don't list what pump is there they just want you to buy the entire pump assembly. I would use a complete assembly but it won't fit in my custom tank. I guess I could buy one and tear it apart but I would pay a bunch more for...

    Who makes good fuel pumps

    On my LS swap project I am down to the fuel system. My old fuel pump is most likely not up to the task and it is also varnished up. Many of the LS swap folks use a Walbro 255, I have also read that some use the pump from a 05-06 Grand Cherokee with the Hemi. I would think those should have an...
