    Grill refurbish

    When I was looking for a grill for my 1980 was that it didn't exist. They have a generic one that's like 78 to 79 but it didn't have the bowtie. I got a factory 79 from the junkyard to just have a real chevy grill. I fixed the cracks and painted it. The top has a spot busted out but I don't...

    350 dies when warm and won't start

    Yes like said look down the crab when you open the throttle. Quick test if it's fuel issue just take some carb cleaner and spray into the carb for 2 seconds then try to start it. If it fires you ha e a fuel issue if not, probably something else, like ignition related.

    350 dies when warm and won't start

    Is your coil good? Ignition module. Both if get hot could be failing. But I wouldn't think it would happen every time, every now n then maybe.

    Cooper Discoverer MTP

    I will say a lot of those guys run BFG all terrains. Like I said most of them run a lot of miles. They run through tires like crazy. The same guy that said he ran Nittos said they got decent mileage, in the 40s or 50s out of them.

    Cooper Discoverer MTP

    They would of been the cooper MTs. It had to have been his old truck cause the new one he has with 140k on it makes sense for the 2 sets of Federal he had with about 60 to 70k each. I am not sure what the previous truck he had. The f150 he has now I know it's on the second engine. And like 2 or...

    Suburban Project- Need Help!

    Oh yea I have heard of plenty like this too. Chevy and ford's...newer trucks. I'm a Forester and many wood buyers and foresters out there drive 40k miles a year. Those who don't get a new truck every 2 to 3 years or pass it on to a logging crew or whatever have many models in that mileage range...

    3mm of metal sounds pretty thick to me! When thinking how thick they are to begin with.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had a vehicle key done once and they did the same. They don't have a way to charge you. You buy the key from them and they cut it free. I would 9fbpaid a dollar or so for it and told the guy, he said don't worry about it .

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It is a bypass hose, needed to maintain a water circulation through the block, so it warms the block evenly while the t'stat is closed. Another misconception with thermostats, is when people remove them to overcome heating issues. They are also there to provide a static head pressure on the...

    I'd use acetone and ATF mixed 50/50 if I was him. PB blaster is good too but that ATF is great

    Cause over the decades most of that stuff has been removed in the idea of simplicity or performance or economy.

    I I Don't live in Texas but I live in a southern state. I'm sure we have all the same bugs. You could possibly go your whole like and not be stung by a wasp or hornet. It's probably one of the least things to worry about. I get stung by a wasp every year or two. If it was get stuff by a wasp...

    I think that thing looks good. I am hopefully the under side is good. The cylinders look in good shape. Hopefully the rings are just stuck. I assume you are rocking it with a breaker bar?
