    Lowering truck

    I used to have driveshafts built,shortened,retubed often for different projects. I used precision built in downtown KCMO. Anyways returning you want to get it balanced, but after enough trips the guys there told me rebalancing a factory driveshaft shortened a couple of inches was unnecessary and...

    87' R10 TBI 350 shuts off when driving. HeLP

    How much fuel is in it when this happens? Will it happen with a full tank? Doesn't sound like heat to me. The hot part doesn't cool in the 10 seconds it takes to cycle the key. Make a long test light,mine is a piece of speaker wire an an LED. Backprobe the lead at the coil ,connect 1 lead of...

    I need a donut

    Do you know how many parts they'd have to memorize,years,makes,models,and just because it looks the same,doesn't mean it is the same. Then they'd be they morons that sold you a CV boot that was 2mm to big on the axle end.The guy on the counter can't be expected, from memory to be able to...

    To bleed or not to bleed, that is the question.

    It says not to bench bleed it,so don't. Install it leave all your bleeders open until fluid starts dripping out of them at a pretty decent pace. Then tighten them all then bleed the brakes at the wheels,2 man,or vacuum. And I would bet the seal your talking about is dehydrated rubber,I can't...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    This is really not a puzzler for diagnostics. Remove the 12v lead fron the distributor cap,make a jumper about 2 ft long alligator clip on one end,1/4 female spade on the other. Plug the female spade into the distributor clip the alligator clip to the positive lead on the alternator,crank it,if...

    Power window motor?

    1 wire going to the motor is a hot the other is a ground switch reverses polarity on those 2 for up or down . So you need to provide a power to 1 terminal at the motor and a ground to the other. Then flip flop them. Case is not the motor ground

    What have you done to your square lately??

    This is a Mazda B2200 radio box. They mounted it to the floor. It's not part of the dash or shifter console. Pull the pocket and it's double DIN ford festiva had a similiar arrangement. If there's a salvage yard near you it might be worth a trip. Then you can use what you have until you upgrade.

    Power window motor?

    If the motor is getting power and ground but doesn't turn it is the motor. Disconnect the plug supply power and ground with jumper wires.do it this way,unless you understand that the switch,changes polarity to the motor. So using switch for power may result in a smoked wire,if your ground is in...

    Proportioning valve vs. load sensing valve

    If you remove it,replace it with an aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve. That way you can set rear brake bias to how the truck is used most often. Something like this.

    What is this? (LSPV Valve)

    To me it looks like someone replaced the factory load sensing proportioning valve and replaced it with an aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve. If it were mine I'd keep it. It will allow you to dial down the rear brakes for more controlled braking. Too much rear brake increases the...
