    Is it possible to get this?????

    If you have never done it, utilize a Google image search. That is one of the first things I do. Take a screen shot and upload it to Google search. You will see how many websites are using the exact same photo. I work in law enforcement and recently had a guy who sent almost 20 grand to a...

    Shop heater

    I have helped and electricion friend of mine install several mini splits lately and everybody loves them. They are efficient for electric heat and the new ones are very quiet. I have a wood stove in my insulated 30x40 pole barn. No gas at my place and our house is total electric. My bill is...

    LED Shop Lights That Last??

    I am not yet a believer in the LED light bulb industry. I bought my house in 2012 and all the can lights were the CFL bulbs. after moving in I started replacing them with LED bulbs, as they CFL's went out. Back then the LEDs were more money than they are today and I didn't want to just replace...

    Help identify strange noise at Highway speed

    Doesn't sound the same but a couple years ago I was driving down the road when I truck pulled along side of me. All the sudden I heard a loud noise I thought was a turbo winding up. I assumed it was the other vehicle and as the other vehicle passed by me I realized it was me. I pulled off real...

    Trying to identify this color of blue

    I know its a long shot, but a lot of those magazines have the vehicle owners inside somewhere. You might be able to track them down, it may or may not be a stock paint color.

    Edelbrock carbs on a 350 sm blk

    I used to have an older small block Mopar with an EB carb and my 77 K20 350 currently has one as well. I have no complaints with either one. I am not real mechanically inclined and both were basically plug and play. A few adjustments out of the box. I can't remember exactly when I had the...

    Blackout

    Mine is not completely blacked out but more than most. Only real change I made was buying an aluminum tube style grill. I had the stock one prepped and painted but after a couple years the paint on the plastic started chipping and pealing off.

    never jerk a stuck truck with a chain

    I had a different issue. I did use a chain to pull a guy out who was stuck in a snow drift. We tried to dig first and just couldn't get it so I was tugging on him for quite some time and did yank him a few times. After a while my truck started running really rough and died. At first I thought...

    Thanks, I'll still go ahead and try a new switch, then have one of my electrician buddy's help me with a relay.

    Headlights flickering...

    I am assuming the newer made switches are designed to handle the extra current drawn by the newer bulbs...

    Headlights flickering...

    First off, I probably know and understand less about wiring than anyone on this board, LOL... I replaced all 4 headlights in my K 20 (it started life as a 77 but has an 86 body on it.). The headlights had been in it for 15 years and a couple were burnt out. I just went with stock replacements...

    Rebuilding my dash pad.

    This is a long video but this guy is a true pro and makes an art look easy. I thought if I could get mine to look 40% as good as his I would be happy. Couldn't get close so I bought an aftermarket replacement.
