    What have you done to your square lately??

    Only reason we did was it was our first house. Got it for a steal and forces the neighborhood to maintain which makes the value go up so it was a great investment regardless of the headaches that came with it. As of now our house is worth double what we paid for it. Once I get back to work we...

    Where do you put your antifreeze when doing a flush?

    Your driveway or garage floor will thank you . clean up is a little tricky but if you have a 5 gallon bucket it helps . I did that and poured it back into antifreeze jugs with a funnel to dispose of but you have another solution already figured out lol.

    Where do you put your antifreeze when doing a flush?

    I used a cement mixing tub that can picked up at home depot for under $15 IIRC. Works great for engine transplants and everything else too . used it when swapped motors to catch everything . and also to change my trans pan and fluid . as far as disposal . autoparts stores should allow you to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    There shouldn't be anymore starting or charging issues after that upgrade ! Doing this is next on my list. I have a cool old sixties cooler that matches my truck well and want to use that as my battery box and relocate my battery to the bed of the truck. And plan on using 2/0 welding cable .

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thank you for the tip. I will have to give it a try. I was gonna look into this as well although it seems to basically be the same thing you posted just a small video. But I think what you posted will serve me better than a short video. Thanks again and will update on the progress. I say it...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    just properly repaired it . it was bad but not bad enough I needed to replace it. I'll save that expense for when stage 2 happens. An LS with two snails and a 6 speed with full coilover suspension. Thats a few years off though . My goal is make it a track beast that I can drive daily if I choose .

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The few shops we have around town range in price between $80-$100 for just the front . I paid $80. They were lowest and had the cleanest shop as it was just built 6-8 mos ago . but main reason I went to them was their top notch equipment . their alignment rack was set in the ground so no matter...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So earlier I said I thought the brakes were dragging after I completely replaced all my frontend parts and lowered it. They weren't. Then I thought maybe just maybe I had my wheel bearings too tight. So re did them. Chased this noise for 2 days now. And was on the phone earlier with @Vbb199 (...
