Not sure that's really true either...I think they insult you straight to your face, but in terms and phrases that sound polite, like "bless your heart".

The bucking sounds more like the front and rear not getting along, having to do with the timing of the response of the rear, ideally a little faster than that of the front so that they both "settle" together after an event like an expansion joint in a concrete highway. The difficulty arises...

I took a video today to help @machoheadgames figure out if his is working correctly. Figured I'd post here so people can compare. cold start, revving to about 2300rpm until the fan clutch disengaged after approx 15 seconds. Based on how far I'd get from my house before the Hayden stopped...

Paying attention to this thread. Similar situation, and I tried a Netgear extender but what ends up happening is the extender loses it's connection to the main router so all the devices connected to the extender lose contact with the Internet and everything that's connected directly to the...

i don't have a solution, but lest you think of just buying some "nice" replacement lights like KC's, the mounts aren't better in a way that prevents this issue. I'm always pushing my fog light back into position as there's no detent and inadequate friction to hold them in place. I may clearance...

Speedohealer here. I determined my percentage by going to a flat portion of interstate, setting cruise for 70mph and logging data of OBD2 speed and GPS speed for a couple of minutes using Torque app. Took it home, put the log in excel, tossed out any data at the beginning of the run that looked...

Back in the 90s one of the big car enthusiast mags did some testing and found they got the best mpg by shifting at lower rpm but larger throttle openings to minimize time spent accelerating - so it was better to accel at 1/2-3/4 throttle and shift at 3k than to accel at 1/3 throttle. I found...

Test data is floor duct outlet temperature at full fan speed and a given ambient and 195F ECT, preferably combined with an outlet velocity. Otherwise all we have is a subjective statement prone to emotional bias, which seems likely given the appearance that you joined the forum just to make this...

do you have side by side test data to back this up? Outlet temperature on your toes is, by itself, not a comprehensive indicator of heat exchanger performance.

The big part is usually the bellhousing but since you're doing an LS swap that is a non-issue (has to do with the crankshaft position sensor on the 05-06 being different and in a different location). You'll have conversion parts for the LS that will take care of all of that. Otherwise there's...

One time my brother moved my uncle's 70s era pickup to the hospital so it would be there when he got out of his addiction-related 72 hour psych hold. When it wouldn't go into Park, he ended up taking a bunch of stuff apart trying to figure it out and put the steering wheel back on upside down...

Yes, I believe the tubs are the same, they just use plugs vs grommets depending on whether the hole has something through it.

First of all, thanks for responding! and just to make sure, I don't want my post construed as accusatory or intimidating, I'm just trying to understand some things. ok, it sounds like there is a collar in the fin making contact with the tube, implying the solder is simply holding it together...

yes, it still spins when you're in 2wd because it's still engaged from the axle end.
