« on: January 29, 2010, 12:13:06 PM »
Anybody ever use VHT or DEI  paint for headers ?

Got a set of shortys coming today that im installing but i bought them used and are a bit rusty.  thought maybe i could just blast em and paint .  My other option is to send them to Embee or Jet Hot but that would be another week before i could get em back on my truck.

So any input, or just suck it up and send em off.........

The No Wake Zone / Alignment ?
« on: August 31, 2009, 09:22:04 AM »
No not the stars ::)

Im talking about your cars/trucks.........

I took my truck to the shop for an estimate on replacing the steering tie rods, pitman arm and idler arm. I already knew it needed to be replaced but since they have a lift and can see under the truck better then me crawling on my back, and it was a free estimate i said what the hell.

The estimate was a total of $1120 for......

4 Tie rod ends.
1 Pitman arm.
1 Idler arm.
And alignment.

Well i went and bought my own parts + for only $198
4 Tie rod ends.
1 Pitman arm.
1 Idler arm.
2 sleeves.

then i went and ordered new shocks from the shock warehouse.
4 Monroe Reflex shocks shipped $184
and a new Bell Tech set of lowering shackles for the rear $ 60  Truck sat real high in the rear......

I started my vacation yesturday after work, so i installed all the above.

Now im calling for a place to get it aligned, $65-70 bucks is the going rate is that right, what happened to the $29 alignment ??? Its not a freakin 4x4....

Yeah, i am trying to be  cheap on this alignment deal cause if you ever drove through Bullhead you would understand why..... Alignments here dont last long, might aswell be dirt roads :banghead:

I also might be pickin up a shell for my truck, when i took it in for an estimate, the guy behind the counter said that was his old truck and he has a brand new Leer shell for it... $100 :o :o :o Im gonna go look at it :thumbup:

Ok, yes i know the shops have alot of overhead, but just by me buying and installing my own parts saved me $800  I could see spending a couple hundred more for the shop to do it but not $800

Ok my rant is over :sly:

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Cutting down mufflers
« on: July 24, 2009, 12:35:30 PM »
I might need to cut down my slip in mufflers to fit a set of headers that have been cut aswell.. Collectors were shortened.

Can any one see any problem with this ?

I think a chop saw at the muffler shop and a tack weld will do ? any cons with a shortened muffling device, Im trying to stay legal and i was told as long as they see a "muffling device" im cool............

WTB / Need Bushing kit...
« on: May 19, 2009, 04:18:56 PM »
For my 97 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 V8....  I was under it today cause i have a rattle and it bugs the crap out of me....

Was just a loose shock , so i will replace them with something better... Now ive been looking for Bushings for the steering and A arms  and basically the front end.. I figure why not just change them out to.. the roads are phuked here to say the least and this is my tow vehicle so i want it to be ready at all times... got a lil bit o play in the front end so i want to tighten her up.....

the previouse owners just had new ball joints installed, but did not have it aligned. so this is a good time to replace it all and then have it aligned

Now i cant seem to find anything for it, and i know with all the members here someone knows something ???

So if you know where i can look , post it up or if you can hook me up with something...........

Know what i mean Vern :sly:

Im probably gonna catch hell for this but................ My boat runs like shit..

Just when you think you are going in the right direction and find out you should have left it alone..........

Ok i went from having to much pressure and a good running boat to not enough pressure and a boat that runs like shit....

I installed a electric pump, a Holley red to be exact. Im running two tanks into a water fuel seperator and then into my fuel pump and into the carb.
Fuel pump mounted on the transom.

Fuel line running to carb with a inline filter all -8 fittings and hose.

My fuel pressure :screwy:

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / What did i do wrong
« on: April 30, 2009, 01:42:19 PM »
When i started the carribean the fuel gauge went to 15-20psi instantly...
With this pump.

So i figured it was a hi volume pump and swapped it out with a 8 psi from Jegs.
This one. ( exact copy of a Holley )

Just got all my parts to finish up my fuel line and tried to start her...

If i pump the carb it will idle till it runs out of gas , and now im showing NO FUEL pressure at all ???

Now the other pump , bump the key and it sat their and ran flawlessly. But showed hi psi ???

Is my gauge f-up......

I cracked the fuel lines and their is fuel in them , but for some reason the carb is acting like its not getting enough fuel...

Now the guy that i bought this carb from said it needed to have 10psi at all times to run, but i didn't believe him i thought that was a little high....

I also installed a inline fuel filter , it has a flat screen for the filter... Now if i installed it backwards would that block the flow ???


I wouldn't think so but if thats my problem i would be happy mo fo....

Any suggestions :sly:
