    Convert from R-12 to R-134

    Is it a good idea to convert to R-134 from R-12? Is there anything that is negatively affected when doing a conversion, compressor, condenser, ect??? This is a question I got from my dad, I believe that it is a good idea, but he wants more input.

    Ok Guys....Real or fake?

    Well technically it's a Toyota, so it's not a real truck, it's a Wannabe truck.

    Powerstroke Question

    Bought 2 new 850CCA batteries, new cable ($92.00) Put some 911 treatment in the fuel, and added some oil, and it started, but was back firing, every time I would crank the engine over it would back fire, sounding like it was going to blow up. So I gave it a couple of minutes, then tried again...

    Mercedes Turbo Diesel

    Anyone have any experience with the older Mercedes turbo diesels, I am considering throwing one in my Jeep, in place of a gas engine. If anyone has any ideas, whether this is a bad idea, or what? Also ideas whether one will bolt up to a strong tranny, how it would be done?

    Powerstroke Question

    I buy fuel from Flying J, Maverik, or Chevron. I thought that was the fuel filter on the engine, and I figured the fuel pump was on the frame by the look at the pump itself. I used to change the oil every 4k but now money is tight, and haven't been able to afford the $100 every time it has to...

    Powerstroke Question

    Crazy thing is that it don't sound so stupid, the wife called that one. I said it had nothing to do with OIL. It has been probably 6k miles, so that would be just about right.

    Powerstroke Question

    My truck started acting up, it will start, I have to floor the throttle to keep it running, run for 30 seconds while floored, and then slowly reduce rpms, then die. Any ideas, I had to leave it at the house I was working at so I can't run any diagnostics

    What should I get

    I absolutely hate Toyotas(mostly cause I own Jeeps). But in stock form, Toyota is a great wheeler, pretty strong platform, super cheap parts, cheap to lift and easy to work on. Even a $300 Jeep Cherokee, will cost a pretty penny to put on a decent lift, and then the axles are total garbage. I...

    I'm building a another 14 bolt front axle.

    Who builds the inner seal? Might be cheaper than having one made.

    I'm building a another 14 bolt front axle.

    I have read some articles where, A "properly" shaved 14 bolt can give as much ground clearance as a D44. Plus I can actually build a 14 bolt for the same price as buying someones D60. I figure if I get rid of my Chevy Knuckles, pick up some Ford Knuckles, I can use the way less expensive TTB...

    I'm building a another 14 bolt front axle.

    As I said, this was not my idea. This is just my opinion, but they tend to concentrate on their buggies, rather than outside work. My axle sat untouched in their shop for 4 months before I picked it up and decided to do it myself. I had Olympic 4x4 re-tube it, and I did most of the rest. I...
