    Post your toys, square or not

    that thing is sick! My dad has a 73 SX125 that I've got to get over here and get it going again. My cousin got it new from his parents as a graduation present in the 70s, and ended up trading it to my dad in the late 70s. Dad gave it to another cousin as his first bike. He later became a...

    70's, 80's, and 90's Show Trucks.

    That's actually a local truck. Been around for years, and it's kind of a hack job. He's got another truck too, calls it "evil twin" and it's considerably better built.

    Awd gmt400?

    Kinda late to the party, but better late than never. Swapping hubs in attempt to run 5x5 2wd wheels isn't going to get you far. IF the stub shaft fits the inner splines, you're going to have to come up with calipers and rotors to match the new 5 lug hubs. After all of that, you're still going...

    sbc 350 temps

    uh no... A lean mixture will burn faster than a rich mixture, based simply on the fact that there is more fuel to burn. Which drinks faster? A shot of tequila, or a fifth? without every laying you're hands on the truck, or parking your keister in the drivers seat, an assumption like that is...

    binding problem

    If the spiders were "gone" and "nothing was holding the axles in" the truck wouldn't move. The carrier would just spin on the shafts.

    sbc 350 temps

    Why do you want it to run cooler? 210 is right about where they run from the factory.

    unable to keep engine timed

    Me neither! Chewed off plenty of gears, wore out shafts, etc. never a loose plate.

    Wtf Bfg allterrain split

    Discount has a corporate policy to not touch a tire that is over 10 years old... And there is no way of telling how out out balance a tire was when it is failed.

    spread bore to square bore adapter

    Pretty sure you can bolt a 1406 to a stock intake. No adapter needed.

    Factory ac or no??

    What does the tag say on the compressor? I've seen compressors made by Sanden, and Harrison. That looks like neither to me. At any rate, you'd be best off with a York compressor, as they are internally oiled, and won't rely on the refrigerant to carry oil for their internals. Most likely, that...

    Steering column/key lock/protector like "The Club"?

    pop the lock rod Out of the ignition switch, muscle the steering wheel to break the lock pin, and it's gone...

    Disabled 4 cylinders on a TBI motor :) MPG Gain???

    I why wouldn't it work? Nothing it's telling the ECM that 4 cylinders are missing. It thinks it's firing a live injector, thinks it's sucking in through 2 bores, and exhaling through 8 exhaust Ports. As stated above, the oxygen sensor looks at quality, not quantity. So long as the manifolds...

    Disabled 4 cylinders on a TBI motor :) MPG Gain???

    It's an imaginary number. You cannot accurately measure horsepower by itself. Anything that measures horsepower actually measures torque, and then inserts it into the equation... Horsepower = (torque x rpm)/5252

    If you installed the clamp upside down, it wouldn't ever tighten up.

    Axle swap for gear ratio

    Don't waste your money swapping to 3.73 axles. If you are going to do it, go 4.10 or don't touch it.

    Disabled 4 cylinders on a TBI motor :) MPG Gain???

    Horsepower will not increase economy. Torque in the operating range will. Horsepower is just an imaginary number based on torque and rpm.

    rough country brake line extension bracket

    They didn't have enough length? I've put them on flexy 8" lifted trucks without issue.

    Help

    Pcv and breather of certainly aren't helping anything. What its a "community carb"?

    rough country brake line extension bracket

    Buy 88 C1500 lines. Cheap alternative, and it will be done right, rather than a band aid bracket.

    88 C1500 lines are a good budget alternative.

    Black exhaust smoke upon startup???

    Probably the throttle body. Those things are known to cause problems right out of the box.

    full exhaust system

    Use the Hooker kit. Mandrel bent, fit great, and at a fraction of the price of a "custom"crimp bent setup from a muffler shop.
