At any rate, the right rear drum heated up 100 degrees more after a short drive, but doesn't drag on jack stands. Figured out that the wheel bearing is loose and...

    Accidental mudding adventure

    Went out on a drive, been nice here the last few days and all the snow has melted from the roads. Normally the gravel roads can handle it, but last year there was epic flooding around here and then a gravel shortage over the summer. Anyway, the roads have little to no gravel and have all...

    Mechanical fuel pump tank return bypass?

    Tried to do a bit of search here but didn't come up with much. I noticed my fuel pump is leaking; squirts of fuel out the back end of the flying saucer part at the seam towards the manifold.
