On-Board Air Compresssor ?!?!?
HotRod has a pump, tank, and locker. All he needs are a few bits to assemble it and call it a day. But you know HRPC, he starts thinking "Hey, I could add a ..." and then his easy little project becomes a big expensive pain in the ass. Let me save you some trouble HR, I'll take that locker off...- skysurfer

On-Board Air Compresssor ?!?!?
I was tossing some numbers around at an online calculator and I'm not sure if the roll bar/tank idea would be worth the effort or not. If you used, for example, 25' of 3" pipe it would hold 9.1 gallons of air. That's more than I expected but a completely flat 33x12.5r15 tire holds 61.8 gallons...- skysurfer

On-Board Air Compresssor ?!?!?
I think your compressor will work fine. The only limit on the small ones is they have a lower duty cycle so they'll shut off if you're trying to air up tires or running tools. The compressor I run for the Ride Rites isn't hooked to a tank, it's just plumbed straight to the bags and pumps them up...- skysurfer

TBI "salad bowl" worth it?
I made mine from a bowl I got at the 99 cent store. No way you'll notice a difference by itself, I consider it a small piece of the "more power" puzzle but figured for a buck it was worth the effort.- skysurfer

Mr Clean's Sandblast Cabinet Mods & Powder Coating Projects
You never need to replace the glass if you protect it. I bought a 5-pack roll of window protective stick-on sheets from ebay and replace them as needed. The glass doesn't even need to be removed, just peel off the old sheet, stick on the new, and keep blasting. -
What Spray In Bedliner Should I use???
My last truck had a Rhino Liner and my next one will too. One day I didn't know a battery I was carrying had tipped over on it's side and it laid there dripping acid for twelve hours. When I cleaned it up the only damage was a slight grayish color where the liquid was instead of the usual black...- skysurfer

Washer nozzle 90 Suburban?
Have you disconnected the hoses at the cowl and verified good flow to both sides? Then try it with the hose disconnected just at the nozzles to verify the rubber hose on the arms is ok. If that's all good then try soaking the nozzles in vinegar and using a squeeze bulb to force it through them...- skysurfer

What body color paint?
Keep in mind that even if you have the exact GM color for your truck it's still not going to match. Thirty years of weathering has made your paint a one-off color and nothing from a can will blend in perfectly.- skysurfer

Is a hydroboost swap worth it?
Agree with what's been said already. If your current setup can make the tires skid to a stop then hydroboost might not make that much difference to you. My issue was brakes that couldn't get anywhere close to lockup after installing 35" tires. HB gave me 2.5 times the braking pressure over... -

What have you done to your square lately??
That's almost right. The flow direction at the case of a th400 is out the bottom and in the top. The top line is the return so the aux cooler should be plumbed so the flow is out the bottom of the tranny to the bottom of the radiator, out the top of the radiator to the bottom of the cooler, out... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I don't know if there's a right or wrong way to route the cooler lines. Getting a leak is a long shot at best, but if there was one I'm not sure if air getting to the transmission would be that big of a deal. Isn't there some air above the fluid inside the trans anyway? As long as there isn't a... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Installed the ebay trans cooler that Rusty Nail linked to a while back. First thing I had to do was make some brackets and mount them on the core support. Was wishing I had one of those cool dimple die stamps while making these, would have been a nice touch. I don't trust having just hose... -
How Much Is This Boat Worth?
Did you check NADAguide for an estimate? Fill out the options list and it will give you a pretty good idea what it's worth. Fair warning, Renken is out of business and it's a nearly 30 year old boat. NADA doesn't care about your boat's history or the fond memories you have with it so be...- skysurfer

Bvllsh!t on craigslist.
Rust free example of a big ol' truck at the reasonable price of $2300. Going to be seeing more like this for sale in Cali due to another big jump in fuel taxes and registration fees. (Damn politicians even came up with an extra annual fee of $100 on electric cars just to be sure they get reamed...- skysurfer

Tips and tricks to replace Burb rear outside door handles?
When I was removing all the trim from mine getting it ready for paint I ran into the same problem. After messing with it for a while and getting nowhere I called the paint shop and told the guy I couldn't get the outside handles off. He told me that was something they would have to do, mentioned... -
Rough country lift
Shocks won't help with stiff springs, it's gonna ride like an empty hay wagon and you'll hate it. My RC springs sucked from the day I installed them to the day they went in the dumpster. I replaced them with Tuff Country EZ Rides.- skysurfer

Sorry you don't have the time to hang out with us like you used to PawPaw but we understand. The good news is HotRodPC doesn't have to look very far for your replacement, either one of the GMSB lifers above would be an excellent choice. -
