Past 2 days I would go in and out of the house and smell gas. Just a faint hint but couldn't find the source and started driving me a little crazy. But then I did find it. It was a different kind of gas coming from the chili peppers I started fermenting to make hot sauce. First time so I...

I've had a small coolant leak for quite some time. Fluid loss over time, could not find the source even with a pressure tester, looking all over after driving it. I would see remnants here and there but not a specific location so my concern was the head gasket. But no coolant in the oil, no...

1954 Tokheim 39 Short. Got this one from Michigan. Just rough enough to keep rough since it will stay outside. I sanded and took the loose scale off and left most of the texture and patina underneath. Mixed enamels and laquer so the paint crackles. This one is sitting on my back patio and...

Anyone ever try a repair kit for a Craftsman ratchet as opposed to turning it in for a new one? Just curious. My local Ace will exchange them for a 'similar' model but mine are slightly different (older) so I went the route of ordering 2 different size kits for 2 ratchets off eBay to try out -...

1964 Bennett Model 966 that I pulled out of a farmers field in central Texas some years back. Too rusty to tell what markings it completely had but there were faded ARCO decals on the doors. Turned it into a Sinclair HC pump that my intent was to put a solar cell in and set it on my back patio...

Dash won't start melting. Shined'er up and put 250 more miles on the odometer in this awesome weather. First time I took the new top off after installing it last year. Girl next to me at a stoplight said hey follow me to the bank, i'll buy it from you right now - cash! I said you don't have...

Working transient alert, our job is to basically take care of everything NOT from our base. We're like a gas station.. in, juice up, gtf out. So we see a great variety of aircraft and units pass through. We tend to get a lot of EF-18G Growlers and recently one of the crew mentioned their...

Who knows what will come out from the shadows when things get back to.. well.. normal if that's what it will be. Not sure about any of you but i'm not going to sit idle while the slobbering contagion try and put their paws on my Jeep that's for damn sure. Need some more wiring and also an...

For those like me with a Luk Clutch. My clutch engages at the very top of the clutch pedal almost to the point of seemingly not being fully disengaged when my foot is off the clutch pedal if that makes sense? I'm sure it's ok since it has been years since it was replaced but I don't think...

Couple months ago i'm driving to work 5 am. 70mph down the freeway, radio on, cup of joe in my hand.. Then Jeep suddenly starts losing power, backfiring, stalling. Pull off freeway and it dies. I manage to get it started again but keeps dying on it's own or when I give it gas. I'm thinking...

Question... when replacing the timing chain, is there anything else that should be replaced at the same time while everything is opened up? Basically, should you replace the sprockets as well or is just the chain typically adequate? I suppose it depends on how things look but would like to...

Driving to work bright and early yesterday morning. I'm about 15mi from home going about 70mph down the highway when my engine sputtered a bit. I let off the gas and got over a couple of lanes instinctively. Soon as I gave it the throttle it sputtered and backfired so I immediately got off...

As I parked at work this morning, twenty-three and double-nuts...

Since putting quite a few miles back on my Jeep since paint job and all around remodel, quite a few times as soon as I get in and drive off from sitting overnight or leaving work there is a very strong odor of burning wood/leaves emanating from the vents and stronger if heat or just outside air...

I must've completely missed torqing down the bolt for my front track bar. No other explanation. I leave for work this morning and decide because all the a-holes are going back to work i'll take the HOV lane and bypass the stop-n-go. Just means I have to go fast because everyone who takes that...

Mopar Part No. 4741954. New housing with latch. Use your old cylinder. You can see the locking latch broken off of my old one.

I spent all day yesterday pulling off my intake and exhaust manifold, cleaned everything including the throttle body and intake. Painted the new exhaust manifold and while it was drying, cut off the entire exhaust system back to the tailpipe before re-installing everything including a new...
